Kirby Smart Suspend Two Key Players on Thursday
Oh man, you’re not gonna believe this, The Georgia Bulldogs are in hot water again, and it’s like déjà vu all over again with these driving incidents. I swear, it’s like these guys can’t stay out of their cars!
So, get this. Nitro Tuggle – yeah, that’s his real name, how cool is that? – this sophomore wide receiver, got himself arrested on Wednesday night. Why? Speeding and reckless driving. I mean, come on, dude! You’d think after all the drama last year, they’d have learned their lesson, right?
But wait, it gets better. Or worse, depending on how you look at it. This other guy, Marques Easley, an offensive lineman – and when I say offensive, I mean it in more ways than one right now – he apparently crashed his car into an apartment! An apartment! Can you imagine waking up to a car in your living room?
So what does Coach Kirby Smart do? He’s like, “Nope, I’m done with this nonsense.” He suspends both of them indefinitely. The official statement was all formal and stuff, saying, “Nitro Tuggle and Marques Easley have been suspended indefinitely from all team activities.” But you just know Smart was probably pulling his hair out when he heard about this.

The timing couldn’t be worse for Georgia. They’re trying to figure out their receiver situation after last season’s drop-fest, and Tuggle was supposed to be part of the solution. And don’t even get me started on the offensive line – they lost four starters, and now Easley’s gone and messed up his chances too.
But here’s the kicker – this isn’t even new for Georgia! Last year, they had six players arrested for similar stuff. Six! It’s like they’re going for some kind of record or something.
I tell you, being a Georgia fan must be like riding a rollercoaster. One minute you’re celebrating an SEC championship, the next you’re wondering if your players even know how to drive. It’s wild!
Well when Clowney was clock 90’s or 100 in downtown Columbia no big deal !! Even Steve Spurrier made a derogatory comment but no one cared
