Great comments BigDawg. I’ve felt all along that Bennett may be physically and mentally drained which should be expected after the grinder he’s been through. Contrary to the opinions of the “experts”, I sincerely believe Stetson had more to lose than gain by playing a few minutes in the Senior Bowl. You touched on something I failed to consider by mentioning the death of his 2 close buddies. When he was interviewed about 10 days ago I could tell he was devastated and ready to cry over the loss of his friends. NONE of us are in his shoes. NONE of us are as exhausted as he is and on top of that, NONE of us has dealt with so much stuff over the past few weeks. The people who are casting stones non-stop (including MG) don’t have a clue as to what Bennett is experiencing mentally…..not a slight clue. Folks are also assuming he got wasted in a “celebratory” mode where it’s very possible he was crying in his beer. I know the feeling and personally got wasted at bars during the Vietnam War after losing some close friends. I cried and I drank and I cried some more…..and just like the Mailman I couldn’t find my way back without the assistance of a few MPs. I hope Stetson can find peace in his life and I wish him the best because he gave us more than we all deserve. Go Dawgs
@BigDawg61 Warren McClendon practiced each day, two months removed from a sprained knee suffered against LSU that snapped his 37-game starting streak, and he was 3 weeks removed from a head injury sustained in the tragic crash that killed his teammate and a recruiting staffer.
Every player has to make their own decision on what to do, or not do. I've never suggested otherwise.
NFL experts like Jim Nagy and analysts at ESPN, NFL Network specialize in draft coverage and have their opinions on Georgia players every year that we report on, for better or worse.
The NFL combine will offer the next opportunity to evaluate Georgia personnel and should be interesting.

Well I'm glad you haven't decided to take Stetsons freedom away Mike. What else have you done Mike? I'll tell ya, you've blasted one player for the past two years every chance you get. I've read it over and over. You'll never convince me otherwise
Like Eastmandawg said: "MG is the Jerry Springer of the DawgNation"
That ain't no lie.
Thanks for the feedback
Stetson’s had a bad few weeks after Jan. 9 - he hasn’t projected a mature image at all. A day or two after he was released from lockup, he should have released a statement saying that he regrets having brought negative PR upon the UGA program as well as himself, stating that this isn’t his normal behavior, and that he’s going to learn from this mistake and be the responsible adult that everyone expects him to be and that he expects himself to be. If he’d done that most people would say “fair enough - we all make mistakes.” Instead, people are still asking “what’s with Stetson - has he always just been a jerk?” The longer he stays silent, the deeper he’s digging his hole.
You don't believe in our justice system do you?
You're one of a large group of Americans, that believe guilt or innocence should be decided by by the masses, from what is spoken on television and radio...and written in newspapers and on message boards...right? Whether the evidence presented by those entities is real...or not?
How do you know if the evidence is real? Well...it's vetted by the Prosecution & Defense and presented to a Judge in order to determine it's relevance to the charge, etc..
What actual evidence has been presented, with regard to Bennett? Zero...zilch...nada. Only accusation and speculation...so far.
We don't even know for sure, that Bennett was "intoxicated". Lol.
The perception of Bennett was created by "the press" and a small faction in the Dawg Fanbase.
If you accentuate the negative and eliminate the positive...anybody can be made to look bad. ANYBODY...including you.
Why the hell would Bennett appeal to those same people, to clean up that perception? My guess is...he trusts the American Justice System, far more than he trusts people like you.
There, but for, the grace of God, go you.
