Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban didn’t find it funny at all after comedian and podcaster Shane Gillis jokingly branded him a cheat during ‘College GameDay’ on Friday.

Gillis joined the panel ahead of the weekend’s playoff action and would take a playful swipe at Saban while discussing Notre Dame’s title chances.

“With Notre Dame it’s always like, ‘Here’s the big game, let’s hopefully win it,’” he said. “This feels, feels different. It feels like we can win it. There’s some parody. Now that everybody can pay their players Notre Dame has a shot. It’s not just the SEC it’s not just Coach [Nick] Saban.”

“I don’t think the SEC paid players ever,” he said later on, sarcastically, of course.

Nick Saban Had The Perfect Response

Saban was not amused, especially after Gillis called him “Alabama Jones” because of the hat he was wearing, and went on to explain exactly how Alabama cheated while he was in charge of the Crimson Tide.

“I do believe in integrity,” he replied. “I just tried to run the program that way so players had a better chance to be successful in life. We made more money in the NFL than any other school. Sixty-one players in the league. That was how we cheated. We developed players.”

The comeback forced Gillis to apologize.

“For real, I’m so sorry,” he said.

That’ll teach him.

Tank Dell’s season could be done, as he appeared to suffer a nasty knee injury while playing the Chiefs on Saturday.

The Texans wide receiver made a touchdown catch off an incredible pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud in the third quarter of Saturday’s game. But he collided with a teammate while going down in the end zone and immediately held his knee.

You can see the unfortunate incident in the video below:

Here’s another angle:

“Tearing your ACL on a Touchdown possibly? Wow. I hope he’s OK. 🙏🏻,” a fan wrote in the comments.

“Dang, sucks to see Dell injured. Hope it’s not serious,” another user wrote.

“Prayers for tank Dell,” a fan declared.

There Was immediate Concern For Tank Dell

Tank Dell has had a tough time in the pros.

After having his rookie season cut short 2023, Dell was the victim of a shooting incident during the offseason.

It now appears that he could be out for a significant period, and there was immediate concern over the injury, with several Texans players seen checking on their teammate after he went down.

While the situation seems pretty dire, we hope the injury isn’t as bad as it looked.
