Nick Saban (ex-HC Alabama Crimson Tide)

[LostLassie]

Leave it to Nick to try and steal the attention away from Ped State:

"Four-letter tirade": Wish someone had recorded that.

 

[Bucklion]

Uh oh, he attacked Pppaaawwwwwllll. It's on now, I bet some callers will have a field day

If saban coached at ohio state we would not be hearing the end of this.

 

[Buckeye86]

If saban coached at ohio state we would not be hearing the end of this.

About two players who were pulled over with drugs and illegal guns in the car, who weren't prosecuted by law enforcement and weren't suspended by the coach? And then the coach curses someone out who dares mention it? Yeah, I'd suspect that would get some coverage.

Is it just me or are the hands on that statue extraordinarily out of proportion?

You know what they say about a man with big hands.

You know what they say about a man with big hands.

That he had a poor sculptor?

But yeah, his proportions are interesting to say the least. The average human is 6 1/2 heads tall, give or take. Big Nickie there is at about five heads tall. Those are the proportions you use when you want to draw the Hulk or the Thing. Or a six-year-old child.

 

[charlohiottean]

I should add that Michelangelo's sculpture of David is also way out of proportion. This is of course because David is about 17 feet high and sits on a pedestal making it even taller. So Michelangelo knew the viewer would see his head as too small from that distance. He adjusted for that.
I can't give this sculptor that much credit.
