I often don't agree with Dan Wetzel's commentaries on the BCS and the need for a playoff, but he nailed it right on the head in regards to Brandon Spikes' slap on the wrist punishment for eye-gouging.
In case you didn't know, when the Ultimate Fighting Championship began in 1993, there were only two rules:
- No biting
- No eye-gouging
In 1997 Mike Tyson was suspended for life (re-instated 2 years later) for violating Rule #1 in a boxing match against Evander Holyfield.
Now Brandon Spikes has violated Rule #2 and was suspended for the first half of one game.
Urban Meyer, where is your shame?
Seriously, Meyer has my vote for worst coach of the year. He's presiding over a team that should be one of the best of all time and so far they've been sloppy and mediocre, probably not the best team of even this year. He endangered his star quarterback by leaving him in with a 31 point lead even though he was slowed by the flu. After Tebow's injury, and in the face of growing evidence that concussions following concussions cause great damage, he seemed to push for Tebow to return as soon as possible. Tebow was clearly not himself until the Georgia game, which should have raised a red flag. Both got lucky nothing else happened.
Now we have the Brandon Spikes slap on the wrist.
