bellefay1 1 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 http://blog.al.com/mccarter/2009/01/nick_s...eless_mans.html Priorities....you need them man. HUNTSVILLE -- This is one of those stories you can't make up. But it goes a long way in illustrating the insanity over college football in this state and the frequent lack of perspective in which we put it.My wife, Patricia, also a writer at The Times, was doing an early-morning story today. She writes a lot about the homeless in our area and was covering a census -- joining a homeless advocacy group that literally counts the number of homeless in certain places so, best as I can figure, the group can qualify for funding. She chatted with one of the homeless men, and told him her name: "You related to that sportswriter McCarter?" he asked. "Yes. He's my husband." "I saw what he wrote about Gottfried. Got him fired, didn't he?," he said, referring to my Sunday column suggesting Alabama basketball coach Mark Gottfried needed to be replaced. "Well, I don't think the column is what did it," Patricia said. They chatted some more. As she walked away, the guy said very earnestly, "I need you do do me a favor." "I thought," Patricia said, "he was going to ask me for some money or food or something." Instead, the homeless man said this: "Tell your husband not to write anything bad about Nick Saban. We need to keep him around here." Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55813-sidewalk-alum-bama-fans-reaches-a-new-level/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
