in reading the transctript from Saban's press conference I noticed something or perhaps I simply inferred he was saying something else.
Anyway, here's the question and comment as posted on the website. Please read it very carefully....I'll make my comments below the article........
(On visiting Jeno James at the hospital) – “Did he tell the part where how good looking she was and how bad looking I was. Well, I always have a legitimate concern for the players and sometimes it is a very detached feeling that you get when a guy has a problem and you’d like to do something to help the guy, but yet, really it is in doctors’, trainers’ and medical staff’s hands. You really get kind of a helpless feeling and I am sure we have all had it when we have been around somebody that was sick or had a problem and you’d like to do something to help them, but you can’t. You get a little detached, but you try to be as supportive as you can. I have tried to make it a practice to go see players whenever I can when they have problems and have to go to the hospital. Sometimes you can’t make it to see guys when they have short surgeries. I would feel a lot better to know before I went to sleep that night, which I really didn’t sleep much that night anyway, was that Jeno was okay and it was good to see him that way and talk to him. I think it made him feel better and it made me feel better too.”
Now, this is where I started "inferring" a little different meaning than his lead-in "joke" would normally take you.....

Saban then immediately follows with this....You really get kind of a helpless feeling and I am sure we have all had it when we have been around somebody that was sick or had a problem and you’d like to do something to help them, but you can’t.
As is in true Saban form, he attempts to make his intereviews as complicated as possible by adding in as many "comma'd" (new word :)) senentces as he can. I know. If you've ever read most of my posts...I put commas and "....." everywhere.
Anyway, focussing on what just those senentces I began feeling that perhaps something a little deeper was wrong with Jeno. Saban talks of "feelings of helplessness", "really in doctors' hands", and again in the article he mentnioned being detached from the players. Know, I know that Jeno passed out or almost passed out at camp and had to be hospitalized where they said he had a, crap, what was it....something with his stomach that helped attirbute to the hospitalization.
While this is all total SPECULATION, could Jeno have been starving himself to get to a certain weight or even doing something else?
Comments and Thoughts? Go ahead and telll me that I'm reading too much into the comments. I'm serious. I don't want some larger problem looming in the back of my mind on one of, if not the best lineman we have.
