Ealey says no eye, no foul

A lot of words have been spilled over Brandon Spikes' attempted eye gouging of Washaun Ealey.

Bloggers and columnists have decried it, talking heads have been in an apoplectic rage over it, Urban Meyer has chastised it, and Spikes has apologized for it.

In fact, the only one we haven't heard from has been the alleged "victim".  Until today.

According to Ealey, the Florida linebacker should not have been suspended for the first two quarters of UF's game this weekend.

"I don't think he should have gotten suspended at all," the Georgia running back said. "We were just out there playing football."

Ealey added that Spikes "really didn't gouge my eyes. He really didn't get his hands close to my eyes."

So, there you have it.  That is the end of it, right?  Right?

If not, it should be.

Spikes has apologized and been "punished, and the gougee says it's all good.  That's good enough for me.

    NCAA- Stands for 'No Clue At All. '

    How can they not suspend this thug for the rest of the season? Let's see we'll suspend Dez White for having a Pepsi with Prime Time but nothing for trying to blind a guy?? Unfreakingbelievable.

    Listen to Trevor Matich's comments from 1/2 time of Bowling Green/ Buffalo!! His statement is the most common sense I've heard in a long long time.

    Way to go Urban. How can you possible look in the mirror at night?

    This is better than getting "Laugh a Day" in my e-mail. It's like living in an alternate universe where you're reading subtitles no one else can see. John, I'm surprised you haven't laughed so hard you've fallen backward out of your chair and broken your jaw (Hey--there could be a story in that. You don't live in Napa, do you?)
