Great link MD. That reminds of the autographed hat I got from Julio Jones. A friend of mine runs a Rent-A-Center in Foley and knows JJ and his family. Knowing what a huge Bama fan I am, she asked him one day if he would autograph a football for me. He said that CNS wouldn't allow it for the very reason that article talked about, but would be glad to do a hat if she bought it, which she did. Shows what a tight ship Coach Saban runs.
And what an ethical stand by JJ. You have to love the guys who listen to the talk, accept the talk and then walk the walk.
