Like usual,
things have been hectic in the sports world.
Nine
current or former FIFA officials face extradition to the U.S. after a 24-year
probe into soccer corruption (and you know it’s bad when even the Swiss are
after you);
Minnesota
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer made things clear for running back Adrian Peterson:
Play for us or play for no one (and tell your agent to shut up);
And we’re
very close to having the finals set for the NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs.
If you’re
initial thought to any of these were “What took so long,” you’re not alone.
Meanwhile, if you’re an Alabama football fan you might have missed former
quarterback Blake Sims signing with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts, and former
linebacker Trey DePriest being released by the Baltimore Ravens.
To echo AL.com’s
Kevin Scarbinsky, it’s further proof that Alabama overachieved last season
despite making the playoff.
When was
the last time the Crimson Tide didn’t have its starting quarterback and middle
linebacker get a sniff at the NFL? I’d have to say 1998 with Andrew Zow and Tito
Smith. That team went 7-5 and got pounded by Virginia Tech in the Music City
Bowl, 38-7.
Regardless,
with OTAs under way in the NFL, here’s a look at who’s where:
