In 2012, Saban asked whether unstoppable offense was “what we want football to be.” In 2021, he won his seventh national title behind one of the most unstoppable college offenses of all time. While that evolution once may have seemed unlikely, it explains everything about Saban’s dynastic run.

Shady acceptance speeches, lunch cliques, interviews with Andy Cohen—the conflict between these two Sex and the City castmates has been messy, long lasting, and far reaching, especially considering the news that Cattrall won’t be back for the HBO Max revival.
