Nick Saban snubs President Bush
Dolphins coach Nick Saban doesn’t consider himself an aficionado of politics, but he understands that when the president asks you over for dinner, you oblige.Unless of course if that request comes during training camp.
That’s the reason Saban had to politely decline an invitation to dine with President George Bush Sunday evening while the President was in South Florida.
‘’There’s nobody in the world that has more respect for the President of the United States, what he does, what his responsibility is, what our support for what he does is, regardless of who is in that position,'’ Saban said. “It was really a tough decision for us last night to stay here and work with our team and go to the meetings and do what we have to do in camp.'’
It probably wasn’t as tough of a decision as we might be lead to believe. Saban is probably terrified of running into Dick Cheney and getting shot in the chest. And besides, he’s got enough to handle between Zach “Dude, That’s My Sister” Thomas and his soon-to-be-ex-brother-in-law Jason Taylor.
