These players need to be in fast and furious movies instead of football.


"UGA SPEEDING ISSUES 2023-24"

The latest ones are:

"22. July 9, 2024 – Bo Hughley, redshirt freshman, offensive lineman: Arrested by UGA Police and charged with reckless driving and failure to maintain lane/improper driving following a car accident. No other details are immediately available.

23. July 10, 2024 – Smael Mondon, senior, linebacker: Arrested by Athens-Clarke County Police for driving at least 75 miles per hour in a 40-mph zone near downtown Athens. Booked into Athens-Clarke County Jail on charges of racing and reckless driving.

24. July 10, 2024 – Demello Jones, freshman, defensive back: Cited for allegedly racing his teammate Mondon after leaving an intersection on West Broad Street."

What is intriguing about this news is the Classic City Collective "fining" players for transgressions. I guess the players can afford it now with NIL deals.

BUT, I bet they are minor fines... Like $10. Why? Because the coaches know that if the punishment is too harsh, the player will pack up and get an NIL deal across the street.

Anytime we hear news now about punishments on players, realize it is BS. No program is going to do anything to piss off the "Golden Goose/Geese" since there are always other offers for those players elsewhere.

A truly sad state of affairs we have.

No real responsibility on the side of the mngt, so sad. No wonder it keeps on happening.

Bryant 'practically laughed' at idea of letting Namath's teammates vote on QB's famous suspension​


Ken Meyer described his former boss, Paul "Bear" Bryant, as a disciplinarian. The most famous example of Bryant's discipline - the suspension of quarterback Joe Namath for the final two games of Alabama's 1963 season - was felt acutely by Meyer. He was Namath's position coach.



"People like to ask me about the Joe Namath story," Meyer said. "I say, 'What do you mean, Joe Namath story?'"

Meyer, who served on Bryant's coaching staffs at Alabama from 1963 through 1967, recalled the incident on Wednesday night while speaking to the Gulf Coast Athletic Club. What he didn't recall was why Namath was suspended.



Meyer said he got the news of Namath's suspension from Bryant at an early morning meeting.



"He came in and said, 'Coaches, I've suspended Joe,'" Meyer said. "He didn't have to have any other name. He never said why. I'll tell you right now: I'll never know exactly why because he never said it and I never asked.



"He said, 'I've already suspended Joe, but I want to get your opinions.' Well ..."


Meyer said Bryant asked all the assistants what they thought, and one suggestion was that Bryant let Namath's teammates decide if he should be suspended.



"He practically laughed at that one," Meyer said. "Forget it."

Thanks for sharing, RR. I don't know him but looks like he's a truly inspiring leader.
