A woman charged with killing a fellow Alabama fan was angry that the victim and others didn’t seem upset over the Crimson Tide’s loss to archrival Auburn.
Adrian Laroze Briskey was charged Monday with murder in the killing of Michelle Shepherd.
Nekesa Shepherd, sister of the victim, said Briskey flew into a rage when she saw the sisters and others joking that the Crimson Tide’s loss wasn’t as bad as if the NBA’s Miami Heat had lost a game.
“She said we weren’t real Alabama fans because it didn’t bother us that they lost. And then she started shooting,” Shepherd said.

Arizona coach Bruce Arians says there “were obviously very, very many problems” with the officiating in the Cardinals’ loss to the Eagles.
One was a holding call on safety Tyrann Mathieu that negated Patrick Peterson’s interception. Another was a holding call on linebacker Matt Shaughnessy on the Eagles’ final possession. A third was a no-call when the Cardinals felt there was pass interference on a fourth-down incompletion to Michael Floyd the last time Arizona had the ball.
Asked if he felt the calls will cost the Cardinals a playoff spot, Arians said, “It possibly could.”

Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak said Monday he doesn’t like calling the league office each week and hearing what officials messed up in his games.
“Mistakes are going to happen,” Munchak said after the Titans lost to the 22-14 to the Indianpolis Colts. “It’s upsetting when you feel they could affect a game one way or another. But you just want consistency when things aren’t going your way. But yeah, I don’t think there’s usually that many. But you know there’s going to be some mistakes. And it’s more learning from them as a staff and me as a head coach.”
