For the past few seasons, the defensive line has apparently been on a slippery slope. It is the one position that has taken a major fall in terms of rank and quality. Statistically, this may be the most inexperienced group in recent history. This concern resonates throughout the Bama Nation with questions on what exactly is the issue.

One of the most concrete, yet simple answers is that the talent level hasn't been up to par. The talent, or lack there of, was due largely to recruiting limitations, but some believe it could have been due to recruiting efforts. Fortunately, Coach Saban and staff have addressed this lack of talent in their first 2 recruiting classes. Certainly, Coach Saban believes that on-the-field success...

A program rich with a tradition of winning it all, Boston won the NBA Championship a season after seriously underachieving the previous year. They did a major overhaul of their roster, especially the starting lineup. They added the best talent available on the market.

The Celtics were just as unstoppable on the court as they appeared on paper. They had a few guys who had experienced a championship in the past and that paid dividends in securing this title to end the 2-decade drought. This marked the best turnaround in NBA history and maybe even sports history.

Let's compare that to Alabama, who has a great tradition of winning titles as well. Last year, the team had a terrible finish after a promising start....

The Ken Stabler incident has caused many of us to form opinions about drinking while driving.  I believe most, if not all of us here at Bama Nation realize this is a deadly combination.  That being the case, why are we still allowing "legal limits" at all?  The amount of alcohol one person can consume and still function normally vs another varies from person to person.  No one can actually determine whether one drink is too much or 4 or 5 drinks is too much.  Body size has little to do with it,  mainly it's a person's chemical makeup that determines the effect that alcohol has on the individual.  So where do we draw the line?

I have a proposal.  This is going to seem...

As one future NFL Hall of Famer, closes out the final chapter of his career, one NFL hopeful gets one step closer to beginning his.

15-year veteran, Michael Strahan announced his retirement on last week. He walked away from an outstanding career with the most coveted prize in the league-a Super Bowl ring. With his departure, he left behind a huge void in which the Giants must fill immediately. The future Hall of Famer, expressed that it was definitely time to move on to allow these younger guys to step up and make a name for themselves, not only with the quality of their play, but also as leaders in the Giant organization. So, who will replace him?

GM Jerry Reese tried to answer this by saying that they needed a lot...

There are many important & valuable lessons learned in life. Some are taught from the experiences of others, but unfortunately, many come from personal encounters. No matter how we obtained the message, one clear lesson is to remain positive at all times.

In the past, Coach Saban has touched on the importance of being positive and having the right mindset about not only your work on the football field, but in life as well. Many of these things made me examine my own self to make sure that I am always being positive and ridding my mind of negative thoughts.

Coach Saban said, "That's kind of a lesson for all of us. In terms of being positive about what we're doing and what the events in our life are....
