Rick Karle, veteran anchor at Birmingham’s WVTM, is either in the beginning stages of a great bit or has chosen the silliest and self-owning-iest hill on which to plant his flag.
Because his fingers found a keyboard and typed the following blustery prose about Alabama football coach Nick Saban, whose name we can’t stress enough is Nick Saban.
.@AlabamaFTBL coach #NickSaban held his @rosebowlgame newser today & a reporter addressed the coach as “Hi, Saban!”
His name is Coach Saban.
Not Nick.
Karle’s accompanying Facebook post is the type of thing that initially makes most folks angry but is overwhelmingly sad upon any deeper reflection.
