Stop….whining. Right? Instead of getting behind what saban was trying….had been saying..,for years, you idiots put personal feelings ahead of what was right. The backlash against saban went national

For the thousandth time, Saban was actively and publicly complaining about a practice that Bama honed and refined under his watch - buying the best available players en masse.

Yeah, yeah, "everybody was doing it", but it was the blatant and over the top bagman game of Bama that pushed NIL out to the masses. Saban complaining about how NIL ruined the game is actually his realization of (1) seeing the Bama bagman advantage disappear, and (2) the damage that Bama's blatant bagman game did to CFB as a whole when everyone else clamored to have the same benefit.

To be fair, Saban isn't/wasn't wrong. But putting him at the pinnacle of I-TOLD-YOU-SO mountain is ridiculous.
