UGA not only football program dealing with domestic violence issues

Is anyone really surprised that an Alabama player gets off “scott free” with an infraction? I mean, they have championships to win (at all costs). They can’t be bothered by common decency.

Commings should be on a very short leash. CMR should make it clear that another incident of violence against a women will result in an immediate dismissal. UGA football does not depend on any individual, especially a man who would hit, push or itimidate a female in any manner. Such actions from any man are reprehensible. I love UGA football but it takes a back seat to civility. CMR made his decision…if I had made the decision Commings would be on the phone with JSU or North Alabama seeking a roster position.

I say UGA should have waited till all the facts came out and the courts/school ruled.

Same thing happened with Tech player Robert Hall a few years ago and it turned out he actually was trying to avoid a confrontation with his GF, while leaving she tried to block a door he slamed while leaving and got hurt. he missed a lot of games because they had to wait till charges were dismissed.

Why two game now, season is far away to worry about suspensions unless it’s done just as a media front to say we care.

As I father I would kill any man that physically struck my daughter with his fist or open hand such as Sanders Commings has on more than one occasion, Mark Richt and the University should have expelled Sanders Commings immediately. As an alumni, the Ga football program has continued to cause harm to the school for many years now. Mark Richt approves of men who hit women, no other way to look at it especially when it is not Sanders Commings first time doing so.

Hopefully the court sees it as it was described above and that’s all it is. If he did in fact hur a woman, he would deserve more than two games suspension. If the court dismisses the case or finds him not guilty, the suspension can and should be lifted by Richt. Richt made the right move for now. That puts a placeholder on the media and the naysayers.

2 game suspension is DEALING with it?
No Domestic Violence classes?
No Anger Management classes?
No Disciplinary action from the Student Disciplinary Board?
Too early to know what really happened. More will come out in the next few weeks.

Until the Legal system is done Richt shouldn’t make a judgement on game suspensions.
The reports that have been submitted say he is innocent.
Like we would not expect that.
No guy wants to be hated for saying Commings did it and costing the team a player. The guy would not be able to stay at UGa for fear for his life.
There will have to be some of the afore mentioned classes if he is to stay in school.
He will likely put off those classes if he can during football season.
He would likely drop out of school after the season to go PRO. ie Ohio State players.

Women should be held accountable for violence too. If a woman lets her emotions make her scratch and throw punches, she might just be violent enough to find a gun or a knife. If she is in the wrong, she should be punished as harshly as any man would be.

If someone legitimately commits domestic violence, they need to be dealt with harshly.

———————————————————————————————————————————-

LaGrange, Georgia linebacker Reuben Foster is not only one of Alabama’s top recruits for the Class of 2013, he may also be one of their top recruiters. The 6-foot-1, 240-pound defensive star is rated the nation’s No. 2 overall prospect by 247Sports and surprised recruiting analysts by committed to the Crimson Tide back in July of 2011. Since then, Foster has been public about his efforts to help recruit other elite players to the Tide’s 2013 recruiting class, including the one player in the nation ranked ahead of him by the recruiting services.

Fellow Georgia resident Robert Nkemdiche (pronounced kim-DEE-shee), a defensive lineman described by some analysts as a once-in-a-generation type player, is the unanimous choice by all four major recruiting services as the nation’s top prospect for the Class of 2013 and in recent weeks, Foster has told both ESPN and 247Sports that he is actively attempting to convince Nkemdiche to commit to the Crimson Tide.

“Me and Nkemdiche met for the first time not too long ago and he’s cool,” Foster told 247Sports’ Charles Power. “I could see myself playing with him. He’s a real good defensive end and one I’d like to play with on the next level.”

“He was talking about Alabama like he wanted to commit right there. I was like ‘do it.’ I think he’s going to commit to Alabama.”

Foster, who visited Alabama for their first Junior Day event in January, is coming off a spectacular junior season in which he compiled 185 tackles, including 34 tackles for loss and 18 sacks. While he continues to be pursued by other schools, including the home-state Georgia Bulldogs, Foster reiterated in both interviews that he is firmly committed to the Tide.

“I knew where I wanted to go,” Foster told ESPN’s Greg Ostendorf. “My family knew where I wanted to go. They love Alabama. I love Alabama. Plus, who wouldn’t want to get coached by Nick Saban and Kirby Smart? They’re NFL-style coaches.”

Alabama will host its second Junior Day event this weekend and while it’s not yet known whether Nkemdiche will attend the event, a number of the nation’s top junior prospects are scheduled to be in attendance. Alabama secured three commitments for the 2013 class at its last Junior Day event

Since Carvell does not like posting the truth….here you UGA fans can get the real scoop.

Committing domestic violence, especially if you are a man hitting a women, is reflective of deeper, more troubling emotional issues….or a reflection of a serious lack of maturity. Either way, domestic violence (when a player puts his hands on a woman in a violent manner) should not be tolerated anywhere, but especailly on a college campus. Cummings and Leonard should not play football at Georgia or Florida next year. They need anger management counseling and a long period of time to “earn” their way back on the teams…..without a scholarship. I believe both forfited their right to be on an athletic scholarship when they hit a woman…for any reason. But….of couse….both deserve their time in front a a judge. I think Richt announcing his penalty before the situation is resolved is wrong. He should have waited until the final verdict on the case was in. In the meantime, the players (both Cummings and Leonard) should have been, and should be, suspended from all team activities….but keep their scholarships until the final verdict is in on their guilt or innocence. Richt, I believe, acted too soon and too little. He should have waited.

Got to love an idiot making judgements on Nick Saban when Nick Saban keeps his and his players business private and deals with his and his players issues inhouse.

You guys crack me up about Saban running players off but NONE of you know WHY he runs a player off…maybe he not BEHAVING Properly or is breaking University rules.

You guys cannot have it both ways.

By the way, he did run off law breakers his first year at Alabama, he discovered a text book issue and suspended players indefinetly without waiting for the SEC or NCAA to make a ruling, and he sat players for not attending classes all in that first year. He got their attention and made them understand they are there to get an education and to play football.

Since those dark days he has won two BCS titles, graduated more players than anyone else but Vanderbilt and is more than capable of running his program.

He then went on to recruit the top class in America, played in the SECCG, beating UGA in Athens during that infamous Blackout game.

There must be a little fire along with the smoke, otherwise, I do not believe the Coach would have suspended him for the two games. It seems that the legal system should run its course before being suspended. Again, Coach met with him so there must be something to the allegations. If that is the case, then what is the difference between hitting a woman and borrowing a little money from your friends wallet without their knowledge? One gets slapped on the wrist for hitting a woman, the others get kicked off the team! None of them were tried or proven guilty, as yet. As always, with most coaches, the better the athlete and the more the team needs them determines punishment. If guilty, they should all be kicked off the team. A Felony is a Felony.

I don’t know Sanders extremely well, but based on my personal interactions w/ him (downtown), he has never struck me as somebody prone to violence (off the field). So, when this report surfaced, I was a bit shocked. However, I was not surprised at all to read conflicting information that perhaps suggests he is not guilty of the charges. Based on the “facts” that I’ve read, it doesn’t look like a battery. If she was physically attacking him, he doesn’t have to take it. He has a right to use reasonable force to defend himself, even if she is a girl. Pushing her hand away from his person certainly seems reasonable. If he slapped her to the ground, that would be a different story altogether, but nothing in the reports suggests anything that severe. Let’s not forget that in downtown disputes, parties are often intoxicated and act irrationally. That can go for the “victim” too. Bottom line: while nothing technically forbids you from rushing to judgment, the notions of fairness and decency should dissuade you from doing so, especially w/ charges such as these.

As for CMR, I don’t think it’s anybody’s place to second-guess his disciplinary decisions. While Sanders might not be guilty of this crime, this has still caused a substantial distraction to the team. Nothing in CMR’s history suggests that he is unfair w/ his players. There are always factors at play aside from technical violations of the law.

The assumption that Sanders hit her is some people’s first instinct. What those do not probably understand is that a woman can be the aggressor. Any men who have been on that side of it know that when you get hit you have to defend yourself. Not punch back but you can’t just stand there and take a wild woman’s punches. Women are just as guilty in these situations and too many times the man is blamed for something he didn’t do.

Lets be honest here. There were multiple witnesses that say all that Sanders did was pull away from her when she grabbed his arm. He did not ever lay a hand on her or hit her. So people need to stop making it into something it is not. All of the witnesses names and statements are out there. Google is your friend if you actually take the time to look it up. Sanders should not be suspended at all but I don’t think that it is up to the coaches. This suspension was handed down from the school.

How can anyone say whether this is fair or if UGA was too easy or if UGA was too strict without having ANY of the facts of what went on that night?

One report said he tried to walk away. Another says he hit the girl as hard as he could. . . . If you’re hoping to form an opinion from that, sorry to say that your mind was probably made up about what happened due to something other than what actually went on that night.

As a UGA grad/fan, I hope it didn’t happen, but my hope or anyone else’s won’t affect the final findings, whatever those findings are.

Make sure you have all the facts before you sentence the young man. Coming from a source who has already briefed the ACCPD, UGA and all other involved parties of said sources first-hand account of the incident, there was in fact, no abuse delivered by Commings other than a simple shove after the female began striking him with blows to the face. This “shove” didn’t knock the young woman to the ground, nor did it cause physical harm of any kind.

Everyone is quick to pounce and spread negativity, but in the end nobody knows the facts yet. Once all the details are released and this issue is resolved I can see the recently levied supsension being revoked.

Quite possibly, but, as Sanders is of legal drinking age I don’t see where that would really fit either. I think the suspension was levied as a PR move moreso than anything else. According to the same source who allegedly saw this incident unfold, SC was being escorted away from the incident by a few friends and didn’t appear to be inebriated at the time. I think clarity will come before the end of next week.

Looks like Sanders probably committed no crime here but did something that CMR wasn’t happy with. If he was guilty, I guarantee you that he would be kicked off the team.

STILL, I’m mad at the AJC for reporting that this “probably” was not the first report of domestic abuse against him since a police report showed the accuser checked “1-5″ times she’d been abused on the report. That’s RECKLESS reporting and another example of the digital media gone wild. Just be sure to sell more ad space AJC, no matter who it hurts.

Guilty until proven innocent sums it all up. I guarantee what happenned was this; Sanders and his lady friend get into a verbal disagreement, words fly, she says I own you I can do anything I want and one wrong move and you will lose your football career come on do something, Sanders avoid physical contact, Lady friend continues screeming furiously because no reaction infuriates her even more, Lady friend connects with an open hand to the face, Sanders moves again to avoid all the while not letting his emotion be shown, every way he turns she jumps, he tries to leave and she blocks his way screeming for him to do something and calling him names like “little man” or “weak punk” or “scared of a girl”, until finally in an effort to remove himself of the situation he puts his hands on the outside of her arms and moves her so that he can get past, she falls on the ground screeming abuse and calls 911. Men should never ever touch a woman, and if they do she better not be related to me or I will gladly trade my life of freedom for revenge…..but there also needs to be some level of skepticism if a claim of abuse s made with no visible signs. I mean an enraged football player like Sanders Cummings physically abuses a woman and there are no marks left? If I were to move my wife out of the way calmly or not she would have at least a red mark where I moved her out of the way and I do not play sports. I think this young man is a victim here, and he will have nobody to back him up…not his friends, not his coach, not the fans and certainly not the media. We need this young man playing football at UGA and I just cant believe that he is not suspended over allegations that are not even close to being proven. Ill bet the suspension is just a reaction to the media attention and the negative press UGA would recieve for not punishing an OBVIOUS WOMAN BEATER….wait she wasnt beaten…..then an OBVIOUS WOMAN ABUSER….wait there was no sign of abuse…..

Chip, this is below your usual standards for whatever reason. Slow day? Busy? Our opinion is worthless. Richt knows more about this any of us, the police, the D.A. etc. He IS a fair man and I am sure this is fair. I know about the majority of these domestic violence things. The womans emotions typically get the best of her and she calles the police and down the road after things have cooled down and some rational thinking takes place, charges are dropped, the woman does not go to court or she goes in front of the judge to get the charges dropped. Thius is most likely muchado about nothing other than an argument in public. From all accounts he did not strike her and she actually was being physical with him and he responded by pushing her away. It happens all the time. We were not there. He is human and peoples instincts when being touched inappropriately is to get them off of you. Nothing wrong with that if it is not excessive. MANY men knock the crap out of their women for something like that and that is wrong. This young man apparently did nothing but push her away from him so she couldnt CONTINUE to disrespect and be physical with him. If a woman is attacking me, grabbing me and will not stop, I will snatch my arm away and if she is running her mouth out of control and getting in my face and grabbing me and will not stop and pushing me , at some point if she will nto stop my reaction is goign to be to finally get her off of me and if I have to push her off of me, that is nto out of line as long as SHE DOES NOT GET INJURED. Did this woman get injured? If not, this is a bunch of crap. This man was provoked. Ive been there. Women try to provoke you when they are upset and not getting there way. They wont let it go. They follow you, provoke you, instigate, get in your face, say terrible things, grab you, hit you, push you, jump on you and at some point, you are getting angrier and angrier and while many men will snap and knock the stew out of them, he did not harm her or hit her. That took restraint.

This is muchado about nothing Im telling you. When this goes to court, IF it goes to court, nothing much will happen to him, if anything. Richt may have been too harsh and reduce this down the road….I dont care if you agree or not. You werent there. We dont know nothing. Its NOT always the mens fault and contrary to some of the opinions, sometimes women do need some hands put on them when they are acting a fool. Pushing someone off of you, a female, is not OK? Let some chick acting all crazy running her mouth put her hands on you and grab you and see if you think pushing her off of you after a few minutes is unacceptable.

People say one thing but when under pressure and actually faced with the situation, the same people might strangle a woman. Some people kill when put in certain situations. Everybody is capable of even murder put in the right situation….everybody. Do not be so quick to judge and cast stones is the point. Same situation you might have snapped and done a lot worse….

WE dominated Auburn in every facet of the game.

LSU had one drive that started on their side of the filed besides the garbage TD. AKA they had great field position and didnt have to do much to score. 2 TDS without the offense and then set up with 2 more TDS inside our own redzone.

So once again if you cant understand that and the diff, then theres no hope for you.

Are there any men or women on this blog who hasn’t felt like kicking the living sh*t out of your better half at least once. If you said no then I congratulate you. Hopefully no one here succumbed to that emotion ..emotion is a passion, it’s a fire that Burns like a red-hot poker thirst in your heart and brain. Sometimes it’s instantaneous and you can act reflexively. Have you ever said something and instantly regretted saying it? Have you ever hurt someones feelings on purpose? Even adults have a hard time controlling their emotions. Sanders Cummings may regret his actions for many reasons. Let’s hope it’s not just his football career. I wonder if his actions hurt and embarrassed him for hisown lack of discipline. I don’t know what happened and neither do any of you unless you were there. Don’t. Condem this young man until all the facts come out. Hopefully he will grow from this and move on with his life. If you don’t understand this, then you probably have a problem. CMR made right call for now. He can always com down harder when facts become clearer.

That’s B.S. If he punched a woman, he should be gone. Period. There are plenty of schools who would gladly take him as a transfer. I disagree with Richt on this one, but I’m glad he seems to be taking this somewhat seriously. For awhile I was beginning to wonder.

Zero tolerance. Who among us haven’t been infuriated by women in our lives, whether it’s our mother, a sister, a girlfriend, or our wife? That doesn’t give you the right to hit them. A man doesn’t beat up a woman and get away with it. If I can’t hit mine, you can’t hit yours. Punk.

CMR makes the decisions that are necessary for UGA to exceed in morals. Frankly, we aren’t Alabama, nor Florida, nor Clemson, we are UGA. what is the difference. We have a good christian coach that not only helps kids play, but guides them to be decent law abiding citizens. Even though Sanders is a good kid, even if he didn’t do something, he shouldnt’ve been in the situation to get in trouble. But with CMR helping him, he’ll make it. Yes if two games is what CMR says he deserves, then it is what it is. Good luck Sanders and GO DAWGS!

I wonder how many journalist and reporters at AJC are guilty??? Have you ever known anyone that was verbly abusive to their spouse on a regular basis?

Unfair to me given the facts haven’t been presented to us. However, Sanders has to keep himself out of these situations BECAUSE HE IS A FOOTBALL PLAYER. He got arrested and it seems that was his crime in Richt’s eyes. ca sera sera.

I hate it for Commings but, if you’re going to dance, the fiddler must be paid. It is a shame really as it doesn’t appear he did anything else wrong, other than be arrested. I like Commings and he is a DGD, this doesn’t taint that one iota but, hopefully they will learn they live in a fishbowl and people are watching.

Versus teams with INFERIOR TALENT :

# 43 Mark Richt era Mark Richt # 43 best coach vs cupcakes

This is because in his career, he has lost 16 games vs teams who would not have ended up in the top 25 without beating him – way more than 1 a year average over his 11 seasons to-date. And, in fact, of the 16, ten (10) still did not end up AP Poll top 25 even with their win over Mark Richt.

GRUESOME COACHING
GREAT RECRUITING

And, his PROBLEMS are on OFFENSE and always have been.
We don’t do much on special teams, but that is by design and he says he is going to quit giving scholarships to walk-ons who only play special teams without a bloody coach to even teach them diddle-e-squat. I find that hard to believe. He whined to this AJ-C that he was not going to put AJ Green back there to return punts and kick-off because he “did not want him to get INJURED.”

That’s what he said.

Now, everything is going to be fixed by not just playing walk-ons but actually putting our best players out there on Special Teams 2012.

You want better special teams than # 80 in the nation last season ?

Make Todd Grantham coach special teams AND defense.

That will leave glaringly Mike Bobo and Mark Richt with their abysmal OFFENSE as to why we LOSE to cupcakes, lose to equal talent teams, and lost to superior talent teams the DEAD LAST WORST in the nation at all 3.

This is my point! We continue to recruit the wrong type of athlete as we have kids that are making the grades like everyone else and getting it done on the field and staying out of trouble.

Mark Richt lost 4 games this past season, 4 games. You have a problem that David Shaw lost half as many games at Stanford last season ? You wish Mark Richt lost half the games he lost.

Over the last 8 seasons, Mark Richt has lost 30 games to teams with worse or equal talent – which is nearly 4 games a season lost to worse or equal talent teams.

Your URL Link provided does not list for example Pete Carroll or Jim Tressel. Do you really think that Mark Richt has been better here at UGA than Pete Carroll or Jim Tressel, either 1 ?

1.Les Miles has certainly been far superior in his time in The SEC than Mark Richt. 2.Nick Saban has been far superior in his time in The SEC than Mark Richt. 3.Urb an Me yer has been far superior in his time in The SEC than Mark Richt. 4.Bobby Petrino has been far superior in his time in The SEC than Mark Richt. Even 5.Gene Chizik and 6.Tommy Tuberville, over these last 8 seasons, have done far superior here in The SEC than Mark Richt. Mark Richt over these last 8 years, just looking at what other coaches here in The SEC did over the same last 8 years, is the # 7 best coach in The SEC over these last 8 years. What the blazes is so special about that ?

What is so special about Mark Richt over these last 8 years, that you think Coaches by the Numbers presents a NEGATIVE view of Mark Richt stating as they do that Mark Richt is the # 35 best coach at his school over these last 8 years ?

And, what is so special about what Mark Richt has done these last 8 years here in The SEC compared to ALL these other coaches and what they have done when they were in The SEC ?

And, what is so special about Mark Richt that you have to take names OFF THE LIST of best coaches over these last 8 years such as Pete Carroll and Jim Tressel to make it appear as though Mark Richt did BETTER than either one of them, either ?

The facts, as presented by NOT ME but Coaches by The Numbers, shows that Mark Richt has LOST 30 games over these last 8 years against teams with equal or worse talent than he has had here.

As for boykin, yeah right, a 5 feet 9 inches tall cornerback is going to be a shut down corner in the NFL because he wasn’t even one of the All-SEC Cornerbacks, isn’t going to register any 4.34 speed in the NFL combines, is he ? And, he certainly plays off his receivers, doesn’t break up many passes, nor make many interceptions even against all these cupcakes we play nowadays at my alma mater, as he is not physical enough. And, you want to run in here, change your handle to boykin (history here when you finally did change your handle to boykin), and declare him a shut-down corner in the NFL, when no one has ever accused him of being a shut-down corner for us. And he absolutely didn’t win any of the last 7 games in a row Mark Richt has lost vs teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 10 and he absolutely didn’t win any of the last 9 games in a row Mark Richt has lost vs teams who finished in the AP Poll Top 25.

I read that 3 eye witnesses at the scene reported that comings and his girlfriend were arguing and he began to walk away from her, she then grabbed him by the arm and he kinda of shrugged her off of him. She apparently was angry with him for not spending time with her. The witnesses say that he at no time struck her any any way. Sounds like a college girl stalking a football player to me, and out of jealous rage, tried to make Sanders pay for not showing her enough attention. Ball players beware of stalker type girls. This again, is what I read, it does not prove that this is the truth or not, but may have something to do with the light, 2 game suspension.

What I find interesting about the Upshaw story is that even though a police officer gave a sworn statement that he personally witnessed Upshaw “chase her down” and rough her up a bit, the girls father calls Saban, asking him not to suspend a football player.

It strikes me that it was a needless exersize from both men.
