You play in the National Championship Monday.
Wednesday you hear with the rest of us that Nick Saban is retiring.
Friday you’re the new coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

In August, 1970, Walter Cronkite returned from vacation to anchor "The CBS Evening News." The audience flooded CBS with letters about Cronkite's new hair(piece), calling into question his honesty.
His response was legendary.
Former Auburn Head Football Coach Pat Dye tested positive for coronavirus, but is asymptomatic, a close family member tells CBS 42. Dye is hospitalized with longstanding kidney issues. His family member is asking for prayers.
Before this app combusts- I am here to tell you that Lillian and I are engaged. I’d tag her but her account got hacked after they took away 2 step verification 😂😂 LOVE ❤️

Wow! My mom and dad found my first TV live shot, when I was 1 day old. “He wants my job, he says, and he’s practicing now.” Dad wasn’t wrong! ❤️So glad to find this happy memory. And, good to be back in the NBC family.

Last night Ashleigh Banfield called me into her conversation with Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino. He says he told the FBI Brian was missing Sept 13. But North Port PD says they didn’t know Brian was missing until Sept 17.

Hoover, AL: Police say Carlee Russell's attorney says in statement "there was no kidnapping" and "my client did not see a baby on the side of the road."
"My client did not leave the Hoover area while she was missing."
"My client apologizes for her actions to this community."
Andy Burcham is about to do the job he’s dreamed about since he was 6. He doesn’t take lightly Auburn play-by-play, nor the reason for this opportunity. I’m glad I got to spend an hour with him talking about life, his craft, unspeakable tragedy, and his Auburn Family.

Congratulations, dad. Your legacy is defined by the careers you’ve helped launch and the lives you’ve changed.
My favorite thing about being a local news anchor in Birmingham, Alabama is people thinking I have secret insight into the current health of Kim Jon-un
@brittanys
I was told by most that I didn't have the experience needed to work in my hometown out of college. Then, my current station hired me as a reporter and a year later made me main anchor. Keep grinding.
Props to the kid at MBHS career day yesterday who raised his hand confidently during the Q&A section and asked “how much money do you make?”
Bold. I respect it.

Idk who needs to hear this, but mask wearing is a basic, easy precaution we can all take to protect eachother from COVID-19.
Wearing a mask has nothing to do with masculinity or femininity.
It’s just the right thing to do.
I am deeply grateful to CBS 42 for giving me a shot when so many others wouldn’t. It was an honor to accept “Best Newscast” from the Alabama Broadcaster’s Association with Sherri and a great team. We are grateful.

Chris Sign’s family, wife and boys deserve to remember him - and grieve - without the distraction of baseless nonsense conspiracies. It is repulsive.
I didn’t know Chris well, but I respect his work and career.
May he rest In peace, and may those who love him find peace.
Congratulations to veteran Birmingham broadcaster

You should know I’m the luckiest guy in the world. Thank you, truly. ❤️
North Port, FL, is suffering greatly after Ian.
No power, no water, no cell phone or internet. Many feel help isn’t coming fast enough.
Many lost everything - and yet, they’re still here helping neighbors escape flooded homes.
