Three weeks in, Alabama already facing impossibly high standard set for the team
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- What's wrong with Alabama? OK, so it's a rhetorical question. On the surface, nothing is wrong with the era's reigning dynasty.

According to ESPN, Sherwin Williams will not be donating the $1 million to the Angels Baseball Foundation because Upton’s 444-foot homer did not land in the can on the fly. It bounced, and apparently this technicality is a thing. The team confirmed as much to ESPN. Sherwin Williams can do what it wants with its money, and $1 million is a ton of money.
