Publisher's note:  Magazines are nice and Sports Illustrated is up there with the best of them, and it's really cool that Alabama QB AJ McCarron is gracing the cover of it this month.  However Coach Nick Saban is focused on winning games and the weather conditions on the field be it practice or game day.

While Coach Saban commented, "I'm happy for AJ" and "I'm sure he looks great", Saban did not seem impressed with the reporters question.  In a recent 60 Minutes interview on CBS, Saban talked about everyone "buying in" to a well defined standard, expectation and team effort.
