TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama junior offensive tackle Andre Smith was honored over the weekend in Phoenix as a member of the 52nd Annual Playboy Preseason All-America Football Team. Smith is the first Crimson Tide player to be recognized as part of the prestigious group since Roman Harper in 2005. "I was honored to be selected as a Preseason Playboy All-American," said Smith. "I got a chance to meet some guys I haven't seen since I was being recruited and also get to know some of the other players from around the country like Sen'Derrick Marks, Taylor Mays, Knowshon Moreno, James Davis, Michael Crabtree, Kenny McKinley, Tyson Jackson and my roommate Michael Oher. It was a really good group of guys. The highlight was the sports contest on Friday night where we competed in several different events like basketball, ping pong, long drive, home run derby, putt-putt and throwing a fastball. Overall, it was a great weekend and I appreciate Gil Brandt and Gary and Nancy Cole for putting it all together."

As a Dad of a 4yr old son I can say that football and girlie magazines should not be paired up together. Each of us tries to raise our kids the best we can. I for one do not believe in exposing my son to smut. It is my sincere hope to teach him that awards do not define us but instead how we act defines us. Self control seems to be a thing of the past just look at today's atheletes. My son deserves better role models so I am his hero I will teach him morals and values from a time gone by. He will learn how to value a woman and respect himself. He will learn why Bear Bryant thought it was of utmost importance to pray with the team before and after the games. My son will learn how to be a God fearing man from me. The world cannot take that away from him.
