“My wife said, ‘Happy birthday,’ this morning, and it was like, ‘Oh, I forgot,’” Nick Saban told ESPN’s Sam Steele in Alabama today. (NOTE: Nick Saban’s wife is a hero.)

“I appreciate people calling,” Saban added. “But it really is hard to almost acknowledge, personally, that something different is happening, because you’re in such a routine of what you feel you need to do to get the team ready to play the game. Football season is not a job. It’s more a way of life.”

All of this makes perfect sense: Nick Saban is not human, was never actually born, and this “birthday” is for appearances only. And why even pretend anymore? No sense blendin’ in with the rest when the rest are in second place so FUCK BIRTHDAYS ROLL TIDE.
