The Crimson Tide football coach opened up his presser at the SEC spring meetings Tuesday by regaling the media with a story about how he emerged victorious over a monstrous tarpon Monday night.
Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples tweeted out news of this most glorious revelation. Saban said he fought the fish to the bitter end and has the bruises to prove it.
