You may be the manager of the New York Yankees, Joe Girardi, but you still need to make way for college football God, Nick Saban.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are the best team in the country at the moment, ranked No. 1 in the college football playoffs and on their way to a shot at another national championship. Nick Saban is the architect of one of the greatest college football dynasties ever, and people all across the country recognize him for that.

There is no denying how much God-like power Nick Saban has, no one can stand in his way as he goes about his daily routines. Proof of this was seen this past week, when not even the manager of the New York Yankees could get Saban to stop.

Joe Girardi was presumably looking to have a handshake with Saban when a police officer kindly asked him to get the hell out of the way.

They don’t play baseball down south in Alabama Joe, they Roll Tide. In fact, the only Joe that really matter inAlabama is Joe Namath, so Girardi can’t even have his namesake in the south – which probably explains his blank, emotionless expression whenever taking a picture there.

This either says a lot about Saban or very little about the prestige of the Yankees managerial job — or both. There was a time when being a Yankees skipper was all bout prestige and celebrity but that has seemingly died with George Steinbrenner.

Or Alabama fans are immune to it by not really caring about anything that isn’t Crimson.
