I’ve been yelled at by coaches since I was 12 years old playing AAU basketball. You know what I mean? I’ve been called everything under the sun, and by any coach you can imagine,” Taylor told Finebaum. “So it didn’t really affect me in that way. I understand that at times coaches get heated and there are things they don’t really want to talk about. As a sideline reporter, you’re in the line of fire, and I just got lit up once. And that’s fine. And I received a call from Saban even before I got to the highway leaving the stadium. That’s how passionate he was about getting the apology out. It wasn’t after he heard a backlash about it or negative talk, it was how he felt immediately in that moment. And I’m so thankful, and I respect him for making that call.

“It’s all good. I’m going to see him again. We’re going to be fine. Things happen, and I know that we both put it behind us, and hopefully everyone else can as well.I know how great Alabama is. I know how great Coach Nick Saban is, and I enjoy being around his program. I will continue to enjoy being around his program."

You just know the make-up sex Saban had with her was amazing.

Shes a professional and I mean that in the most positive way. It was obvious with how she handled his response during the interview and it’s obvious with this response too.

Can we stop talking about it? It really seems like the two people who were involved don't care that much.

Sure. You can stop talking about it anytime you want to. In fact, you didn't even have to click the link.

Saban acts like a spoiled brat. He is the head coach of a major football program. If he don't want to have to answer questions or talk to the media then maybe he should retire. Because if he likes it or not it's part of his job.

Nice try.

Little secret for you - most of the media likes and respects Saban despite his occasional rants and tantrums. They know the game. You are probably far more bothered by it than any of them.

Saban is a G and Maria is one of the better sideline reporters in the biz. Props to both for how they handled a minor situation.

P.S. I kind of hate that I like Saban now. Gotta respect the old bastard.
