Nick Saban is a baller

I don't need to tell you that Nick Saban's a lucky man. He makes millions, coaches at one of the best college football programs in the nation and his Crimson Tide should be competing for the SEC championship this fall.

But Saban's season was almost put into jeopardy following an injury to his left hand following a pick-up basketball game in the Noon Basketball Association in Tuscaloosa. OK, he wouldn't really miss the season. But could he be considering coaching from the press box to protect himself from more damage?

Charlie Weis is a tough guy and will coach from the sidelines despite the strain on his surgically repaired knee. Saban appears to be equally strong and will not require any special treatment this fall.

Sounds like some good work by team physician Dr. James Andrews.
