yeah. andy, just looking this up. is this correct, that mac mcclung is 6 2 ? out there on the court dunking looks make a 5 6 , something like that, but actually 6 2 , which is slightly taller than yours truly, but in the nba that is not exactly, you know tall. pretty short. reporter: yeah. you know, 6 2 might be generous. i was going to say. reporter: not the guy you expect to win the slam dunk contest, that s what makes it so special. he s the underdog you want to root for. just got signed by philadelphia 76ers early in the week hoping it s a springboard for rest of his career. reminds me of my old football programs, high school. i m 6 2 . no, i m not.
temple and baylor football programs. his team s were in a business mall 1-27 when giving up more than 17 points. he s expected to get a lot of interest from college teams this off-season. he is paid about $40 million to not coach the panthers. not a bad gig there. also, you ll be happy to know fantasy football team finally won, 1-4. moving on to baseball and the start of the division series. there is a quadruple header starting in atlanta. they host the phillies at 1:00 eastern. then the seattle mariners head to houston to play the astros at 3:30. followed by america s team, the cleveland guardians as they take on the new york yankees and the day wraps up out west with the padres playing the dodgers. of time now for the weather and the aforementions meteorologist michelle grossman. how is it looking there and how you are feeling about your fillies? i m feeling nervous. the braves are going to be hard. we haven t done that well so far
kaitlan collins is the number one alabama superfan on earth, whose screen safever on her pho is nick saban. so i m afraid to ask this, but a college football coach at a state school, technically sort of a state employee, making more than $11 million, it does beg the question, can i ask, is it worth it? should these college coaches be making that much? i ll let omar answer and then i ll answer. i think, well, when you look at the amount of money that is put in, the amount of money the football programs bring to the schools, so many people want to go to these schools just to be near nick saban, to play for nick saban, as a student to go to alabama games. but also, again, i think it also shows where the priorities are when, you know if you re a state employee or you re a state institution, you re going to put all that much money into nick saban, you got to believe he s worth it, otherwise you put it
football. that part is true. it does generate jobs. it generates a lot of money but there is exxon chemical, dow chemical, shell oil, the seafood industry and tourism aggeneratea lot of jobs, as well. that s what they say. it still doesn t make sense to somebody like me and look, i m a college football fan and scc fan where lsu plays. it doesn t make sense because lsu and college towns across the country, football programs do a great job of marketing to people like me that come in occasionally and only see what they want us to see and for the first time i drove away from campus from the football fa stillty ty facility and the real baton rouge looks different. i did a tour showing someone around baton rouge and there are many, many blytighted areas tha weren t when i was there but lsu looks beautiful. listen, you write in your piece
