Quote:Mettemburg has alot of legitimate concerns. The biggest is probably his alleged sexual assault when he played for Georgia.

 

He got drunk as a skunk and groped a girl at a bar.

 

It wasn't just alleged, he plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts.  His punishment included 12 months probation, 80 hrs community service, and a $2,000 fine.

If the staff weren't taking up for one of their own and Mettenberger not been an easily recognizable figure, the average Joe probably wouldn't have had any more punishment than being kicked out of the bar.

 

I'd say he's learned his lesson given there's been no other incidents like this or even any more incidents with alcohol (unlike say Blackmon.)

 

Let's not act like he's Darren Sharper.  In fact, it didn't even rise to the level of what Roethlisberger was alleged to have done.

 

Rumor has it he was kicked off the team lying to Richt about the nature of the incident and charges.  Makes sense, as lying to coach is about the easiest way to accomplish that, and I doubt pleading guilty to those charges alone would have done it.
