ATHENS — Stetson Bennett issued a response to critics of his behavior and the comments he made at the Georgia football parade and stadium celebration last Saturday.

I’m not a fan of Shapiro and I adore SBIV, of course, but yeah, he could have paid a little more attention to the fans and a little less attention to his phone.
Just calling it like I see it.
You can be a huge SB fan and still question what he did on Saturday. Because I am one and I question his comments. The two are not mutually exclusive. I love my kids but when they act like a fool I step in and call them out on it. As far as Steak goes he can defend himself and he has, but he's on record as calling SB the greatest Dawg of all time. So, for SB he just needs to quit fighting windmills.
Stet was right to shun the media and fans that did not want him to return after winning the first championship in Indy. They continuously bashed and trashed him throughout the off season. Thanks to this negative publicity and unfair treatment of Stet, he is not a first or second draft pick in this year's upcoming draft. One can argue that he outplayed two projected first rounds picks (CJ Stroud & Bryce Young) during their head-to-head matchup with all the chips on the table. Not to mention being named Offensive MVP in both semifinal and championship games. In my view, Stet's actions and feelings are warranted and justified. The fans and media owe him an apology. Lastly, Stet is a dam good dawg and the best to ever do it.
The Georgia fans weren't the ones keeping Stetson on the bench, nor did they ever tell him "Son, if you don't play better we're going to lose the game". That was his coaches. Thousands of adoring folks lined the streets on a cold Saturday morning & nearly filled Sanford Stadium later to pay homage to him & his teammates. A touch of class & magnanimity onstage would have gone a long way in proving his critics wrong, just as his on field play did. But he chose a different tact. Wearing his ass on his shoulders was not a profile in courage, just a small person getting even with perceived rotten tomato throwers. Shame on him.
**** stuff? What **** stuff? I never did **** stuff, I invented **** stuff. As for Stetson, I can cut him some slack up to a point. But he is stretching the boundaries with his latest stunt in Dallas. I'm not judging him by any means but if he wants to continue the success he needs to grow up, in a hurry. He's going to be playing at the next level and his behavior can move him up or down in the draft. Right now it is moving him down. Teams don't want to deal with immaturity from a person who is expected to lead an offense.
