Alabama suspends 4 for first half vs. Duke, including Najee
August 27th, 2019 at 11:51 PM ^
Bama and Ohio State....always suspending guys for Game 1 against nobody.
I'm sure the Blue Devils really like their chances now!
August 27th, 2019 at 11:54 PM ^
Part of Game 1.
August 28th, 2019 at 12:02 AM ^
... for missing a movie
August 28th, 2019 at 10:46 AM ^
...And, they will not be allowed second helpings of Jello all week.
August 28th, 2019 at 6:20 AM ^
Duke is not nobody
August 28th, 2019 at 6:39 AM ^
In football.....against Bama....they sure as hell are a bunch of nobodies.
This game isn’t being played on hardwood, and Coach K ain’t walking through that door.
August 28th, 2019 at 7:58 AM ^
Duke football. LMAO!!! Barely a fraction of the budget of Duke basketball... So they won 8 games last year in the ACC. Yay for them!
It's the fucking ACC. If you're not talking about Clemson, just stop talking.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:01 AM ^
But Daniel Jones...

August 28th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
They'll take a nap on a bed of cash and be fresh for the second half...
August 28th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
An entire half???? Obviously a lesson learned from the Urban Meyer School of Football Leadership...
August 28th, 2019 at 12:10 AM ^
They showed up late to a team movie. Seems like more than sufficient punishment, even a little heavy handed.
August 28th, 2019 at 12:26 AM ^
Sorry, this doesn't fit the narrative. I'm going to have to disregard your comments as hearsay.
August 28th, 2019 at 12:51 AM ^
Heads will roll...tide.
Probably showed up late because they were hot boxing a free loaner from a local dealership. Would have been more players but they could only fit four.
August 28th, 2019 at 1:02 AM ^
“Team movie”
Is this some East Lansing code talk? As in “littering” or “seducing an unmarried woman”?
August 28th, 2019 at 2:17 AM ^
Making players sit through "Ernest Goes to Camp" every year is what's truly heavy-handed.
August 28th, 2019 at 7:22 AM ^
Ernest is the Alabama's version of the bard.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:04 AM ^
Hey mork, are you paying attention???
August 28th, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
I think Mork is already in the graduate level classes...
August 28th, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
Traditionally, SEC schools wait until they face 1-AA opponents to suspend players. I guess Saban would prefer one half against Duke instead of a whole game against New Mexico State.
August 28th, 2019 at 1:40 PM ^
The movie was three days before they played Auburn last November.
August 28th, 2019 at 12:07 AM ^
If I was Duke, I'd have the lawyers figure out a way to sue and force Bama's cheating players to play with one hand tied to their back for at least 80% of the plays :)
August 28th, 2019 at 8:07 AM ^
But then Bama would file something similar when they play Duke in hoops. Saint Coach K would "never" do anything against NCAA rules though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please view my oceanfront property in Reno NV that's listed on Zillow.
August 28th, 2019 at 12:10 AM ^
So Tua will be forced to throw the ball to Jerry Jeudy. That must really suck as a Plan B.
August 28th, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
or Henry Ruggs who is also one of the top WR prospect. Rugg is rumored to run sub 4.3 (5 fakes out of 5 fakes)
August 28th, 2019 at 12:14 AM ^
If only they'd suspend themselves when they drop a couple million dollars a year on buying the top ranked players in the country every fucking year, year after year. Fuck saban.
August 28th, 2019 at 3:13 AM ^
What's most surprising to me is that the GDP of the state of Alabama exceeds a couple million dollars. I thought it would be around $25k.
August 28th, 2019 at 9:02 AM ^
Why?
August 28th, 2019 at 1:46 PM ^
Because sometimes things are intended to be a joke.
August 28th, 2019 at 1:31 AM ^
Woah! One whole half vs. Duke? How many did they kill?
August 28th, 2019 at 1:55 AM ^
So really should have been 12 guys.
August 28th, 2019 at 2:31 AM ^
FWIW, Najee was committed to playing. It just turns out he was also committed to not playing at the same time.
August 28th, 2019 at 2:56 AM ^
A WHOLE HALF!!! WOW!!!
August 28th, 2019 at 3:47 AM ^
So how many players at Alabama A&M will the NCAA suspend for the year for this film session tardiness?
August 28th, 2019 at 5:17 AM ^
Fricken Saban keeps inviting the team over to watch Hachi in his basement cuz he doesn't want to ugly cry alone and the guys always tell him they'll come but they never show up
August 28th, 2019 at 6:13 AM ^
Has RDT verified this news report?
August 28th, 2019 at 6:57 AM ^
Is movie popcorn a permissible benefit?
August 28th, 2019 at 8:01 AM ^
The popcorn is fine, but no butter.
August 28th, 2019 at 7:38 AM ^
A half for the annual forest gump marathon. Saban runs a tight ship.
August 28th, 2019 at 8:04 AM ^
WOW, what a punishment from Saban. Must have been a serious offense, "didn't get your new Escalade washed and detailed before practice, that could impact next year's recruits." Not to fear though, still give the points and bet the over!!!
August 28th, 2019 at 8:18 AM ^
Not only is the punishment laughable (probably should not have had a punishment for missing a team movie), but did Alabama really have to announce this to the world with a PR? (Must feel that they are righteous on ALL matters involving football.)
August 28th, 2019 at 8:24 AM ^
Now that’s a punitive reprimand.
August 28th, 2019 at 8:54 AM ^
We just found Scooby-Doo's account!

Meaningless punishment that gives the NCAA the ability to just say, "Look! They police themselves and dole out proper punishment when needed. Nothing more to see here."
August 28th, 2019 at 9:50 AM ^
If you believe Alabama is disciplining paid employees, er players for skipping a team movie, you must be an SEC fan.
The NCAA probably caught them using performance enhancers in a pre-season screening, and Saban told the NCAA he'd handle it in house (half game suspension against duke).
