AJ Starr got to the stadium early tonight too, great at his job.... So happy to be a part of the team. Good for him and good for McCarron. Its amazing how something so small like giving a kid a ride to campus can so drastically change peoples lives for the better.

I think that story makes up for the chest tat. I know they did the piece on his relationship with the little girl Starla but helping a stranger with a disability find a place on the biggest football team in the country, that's something few would ever think to do

I wanted to hate pretty bad, because I hate AJ's pudgy bitch face.............but I simply could not. Great story and hopefully the real AJ gets to stick around until cannot any more.

The part where the kid said he saved his life because he was almost ready to give it up... so many feels.

frick.

I had to leave the living room so my family wouldn't see me tear up.

I hope some pro team gives that kid a job after he leaves Bama.

It's important for people to see just because someone looks different doesn't mean they feel any different than the rest of us.

Props to Mccarron for picking that kid up. Would've been just as easy to whistle at some KD for her to hop in and give him road head.

I felt the same way before I watched it. I don't care if Bama wins tonight, but I'll be pulling for McCarron.

Sometimes I wonder if Rinaldi is a happy man.


He's seen so much sports related despair in this world

Forget about Pro job he couldn't handle that. I hope they keep him around at Bama.

That's what stuck out to me too. Just think about your normal day in college trying to get from one class to the next, making sure you didn't leave anything at the dorm, plus whatever personal drama you have going on. The problems of others, especially those you aren't close to rarely warrant notice

Pro football is such a crazy animal.

I have had friends fired because they didn't put the pins in lockers right. Bob Noel got fired at Green Bay because he the logo had a piece of paper on it. He had been at GB for 20 years.

My two summers in Dallas was tough but Bucky and Mike treated us right.

Why couldn't he handle a pro job? He seemed to be limited primarily physically.

It's about time efficiency and you do more than just equipment. You go get food, deliver stuff, laundry, plus it's so much more individualized.

You think he can load a Ryder a plane and set up a locker room?

In college you got more guys to help with that.

AJ has been a class act since he got to Alabama. People just want to hate on him because of the team he plays for and his tattoos. But he does a LOT of great things, and is the perfect rep for our University.
