Here is a story from the world of sports, which are not at all absurd and definitely a thing to always be taken very seriously.

Alabama star Cam Robinson has a message for Clemson ahead of Monday night's matchup for the college football national championship. Grab my nuts at your own risk, the left tackle says.

But hold your laughter -- Robinson has legitimate cause for concern.

"They better not try me like that," Robinson said Thursday, per AL.com. "That's all I've got to say."

By "try me like that," Robinson was referring to an ignominious moment from Clemson's national semifinal matchup against Ohio State last weekend. After one run, Clemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins was caught getting very up close and very personal with an Ohio State player.

Here's a look.

Here's another look.

Weird things happen in football scrums. Recall, for example, the Denver Bronco who talked of rubbing his nuts in Tom Brady's face during last year's NFL Playoffs.

Anyway. You've been warned, Clemson Tigers: Don't try Cam Robison like that. That's all he's got to say.
