This made my day.  This is Josh Hamilton's new intro for TJ's football podcast show, "TPS Reports."  It got me EVEN MORE stoked about the Tide rolling this weekend, if that's even possible.  Watch this if you enjoy TJ's hijinx or just want to hear a Roll Tide song.  Enjoy.

I was driving down Rocky Ridge Road last night when an oncoming car flashed its lights at me.  "Ah," I thought, "must be a woop-woop" (which is the po-po to the layperson).  Sure enough, I rounded a corner and there he was, a Barney Fife in a blue-and-white, strategically hidden, ambush style, in a covert Checkpoint Chickie.  Thanks to my fellow ( Read more... )
