This comment from Alabama head coach Nick Saban had me rolling – his response when asked what people don’t know about him that he would like them to know:

Nick Saban asked if no one knew anything about Saban, what would he want them to know: "How well I clean house. I get a list everyday. I try to play golf in morning. When I get back, I get a list. Vacuum, pledge the refrigerator. Nobody knows how well I do those things"
