And, apparently, Crimson Tide fans.

“I know it’s a matter of saying ‘roll tide’,” Harris said. “But, Goddam, sometimes when I’m just getting food … ‘Roll Tide. Roll Tide, Najee.’ I’ll be like, ‘Brother, let me have my dinner.’ Sometimes I like to joke around with people – very often they say, ‘Roll Tide, Nazi’. And I’m like ‘Well War Eagle.’

Harris’s revelations – emphasized by Southern accent and all – drew a shocking response from McAfee, but he was hilarious in his narration of the story:

Harris had several notable interactions with the media in 2020, such as when he Missed a reporter Who covered her in high school and a Hilarious response To claim that he “spontaneously” ran through Ohio State’s defense in the 2021 College Football Playoff Championship game.
