I would like to make a point, or a statement. Anthony Averett has been at practice every SINGLE day for 4 years. Never missed. Hard work pays off. This thing with Sheff has rubbed me the wrong way.

I admit that I'm torn. There's a big part of me that says if you take your crayons and go home because you didn't get to color the truck picture, you can come back and pick up your shiat. You'll find it in the trash can.

But, on the other hand, there's a second part of me that understands all kids are prone to rash actions at times and kids that have been told that they're the greatest all their life might have a hard time faced with the reality that they aren't and part of the job of a parent/coach/mentor is to get them through that period.

It's a tough call where quite honestly every situation/kid is different. In this case, I can't really can't find myself to be critical of Saban's decision (assuming Sheffield really wants to return) either way.
