    I love DawgNation, and I appreciate the info. and news here. But this wasn’t even worthy of publishing on the site. Pure unrefined jealousy is all it is. All Dawgs fans need do is consider the source and His history and it’s easily dismissed as trash.

    I just have one tiny little thing to say about Ainge...

    He's the punk...a pathetic, green-to-the-gills with jealousy, PUNK.

    >NEVER led his team to an undefeated regular season...TWICE!

    >NEVER won an SEC title!

    >NEVER won a NATTY!

    >NEVER named an MVP...of anything!

    I'm willing to bet his career passing numbers don't compare to SBIV's either.

    Jealous little punk-a$$ed LOSER!

    Article didn't mention if he made these statements from rehab?

    Take this article down off DawgNation right now. Why do you give this guy voice on you site with this ridiculously negative, Georgia hating nonsense? Who is this internet pundit anyway and why does what he say matter? Stetson is the GOAT for Georgia winning football.

    Ainge was selected in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the New York Jets with the 162nd overall pick. In May 2008, Ainge underwent surgery on the little finger on his throwing hand. On July 16, he signed a four-year, $1.87 million contract with a $165,000 signing bonus.

    On November 21, 2008, Ainge was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league's policy on steroids and related substances. Ainge, already on injured reserve and out for the season with a foot injury, was not allowed to be with the team or visit the team facility during the suspension. He was able to rejoin the team on December 15, 2008, following the New York Jets' game against the Buffalo Bills.

    Ainge was expected to compete with Kellen Clemens and Kevin O'Connell for the final quarterback roster spot on the team in 2010. It was later announced that Ainge had entered "a drug treatment/rehab facility for 'recreational issues'," marking the second time he had violated the NFL's substance abuse policy.

    Ainge made an announcement to The Associated Press on June 23, 2011, stating that he would retire from the NFL due to injuries sustained to his throwing shoulder and right foot. The Jets officially released Ainge on July 29, 2011.

    In a first person account written for ESPN.com in March 2011, Ainge admitted that he struggled with drug and alcohol abuse from the time he was twelve years old, and by his senior year at Tennessee he had become addicted to pain killers. Ainge continued to struggle with these issues in the NFL before seeking help. He also suffers from rapid cycling bipolar disorder, for which he has been treated in addition to his drug and alcohol treatment. On July 28, 2013, Ainge was arrested for driving under the influence in Knoxville.

    Does anyone care what a drug/alcohol addict with a seriously troubled background and personal history has to say?
