Alabama’s spring football game featured enough imperfections to delight Nick Saban as the Crimson Tide embark on yet another quest to win a national championship. It also featured a disgusting moment when Saban fiddled with something in his mouth for a while, yanked the mystery object out, and handed it over to someone lower on the totem pole.

Yeah. Hate to say it but “chewed gum” may be the best-case scenario here considering what else could be in play. Some gamey meat. Dip residue. A used-up lemon.

Did not think we’d be able to use this image so quickly.

It is true what they say though: those looking to get ahead better be prepared to handle foreign objects fresh out of their bosses’ mouth.
