"Relatively objective"? Did you not hear his lengthy sermon on how great Saban is during one of the media sessions at SEC Media Days? And again yesterday on PM's show? If I wanted a speech writer to come up with a recruiting pitch for my school/its coach, these 2 speeches would be the blue print. He is now representing the SEC, not bama. Why is he getting so much air time as opposed to the other tv analysts? As much as people here knock Herbie or Palmer, I have never heard either give such a sermon as GM has now done twice. If Tebow had done this, bama fans would be losing their minds here. I could care less that it's a former bama player doing this: no former player of any team should be given this much air time, totally unproven, to trumpet how great his former coach/school is.

He did this when on a local talk show here in Arkansas. Sounded really weird the way he would take a question and end up talking about Bama and Saban.
