If you haven't been watching ESPN in the last couple of days, you probably haven't seen the Brandon Spikes eye gouge against Georgia. That led to the half-game suspension against Vanderbilt this weekend and it has drawn ire from the sports media. To me, that is completely ridiculous. I think the Captian Insano eye gouge is nothing to bat an eye at.
Why do people not realize that this happens all the effin time in football? If you do not think Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis, Taylor Mays, whoever other physical defenders play dirty? You are out of mind. Al Harris is known to be a dirty player and it's not a media topic for Skip Bayless to debate about. I believe the reason is because it's college football and it is suppose to be a pure sport. It has to be because I can find no other reason for media heads to be mad at Spikes for doing this. He has now said that he will sit out the entire game to avoid distraction... thanks again media.
The ultimate crazy thing about this whole ordeal is the fact that the Georgia running back who got his eyes gouged as if he was Bret Hart in the late 80s said this isnt a big deal... this how Georgia-Florida football goes. My God, even that guy understands that a simple eye gouge is not the end of the world. Spikes only got the suspension because the heat of the media and Florida knowing their SEC fans not wearing blue/orange would complain of favoritism.
