Birmingham TV Anchor Is All Upset With What Reporter Called Nick Saban
© Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports
Birmingham TV anchor Rick Karle is all up in arms about a reporter calling Alabama head coach Nick Saban, "Saban," at his Rose Bowl press conference on Monday. He went on a very long rant in this Facebook post and posted on Twitter... "Saban" is unprofessional, but come on.

You dont call CNS by his last name..You JUST dont.Especially a snarky little female and her little nasal little"Hi Saban" and the annoying question with additional nasal,whiney-arse little qualities about Ian Book. Give her the boot.Forever,unless she apologizes or proves she knows anything. Little twit....

Hope he sees this, bro. Reporters don’t play for him and aren’t part of the athletics department. Calling him “Coach” is arguably inappropriate. I guess he could lobby for Mr. Saban but I don’t see anyone bitching about reporters calling players by their first names.

The whole idea that everyone has to adhere the “Coach” prefix as a necessity is a bit cringe. Obviously calling someone “Saban” is weird, but “Coach” is not a prerequisite.

What a sad example of sports journalism in Alabama. Should have just called him Midget if they are going to get this upset.

Respect . He deserves none . How about a guy that tells parents of kids he’s recruiting that he’s gonna be their coach till the end . Then turns around a few years later coaching at a rivals team . Respect he deserves none ! Ask his former players that he lied to about RESPECT!

Tommy Lee Jones- Ed Tom Bell character from No Country for Old Men said, "I think once you quit hearing "sir" and "ma'am," the rest is soon to follow." We are a society in decline. Of course nobody cares about manners or etiquette or respect any longer. We are a people of instant gratification, and have a total void of moral fiber among our leaders.

A player who calls the man Coach Saban is respectful. A reporter who calls the man Coach Saban is a douchebag.

Hope ol' Rick is wearing his knee pads- otherwise, they're bound to get scuffed up.
