When Being Nice Is Being Too Nice

Three players were recently released from the Bulldogs football team for 'violating team rules'. We found out that the violations were stealing money from their OWN teammates. Now we hear that two of the players have enrolled at Junior Colleges, one in Kansas and the other at GMC, and could possibly return to the Dawgs. It must be noted that both of them are defensive backs and were in line to contribute this fall. And with the other recent developments of a certain starting cornerback being investigated for allegedly punching his girlfriend in the mouth, the Dawgs are suddenly extremely thin in the defensive backfield.  Evidently Coach Richt has started a new form of the 'open door policy'. We all know that there are other SEC vultures, mainly LSU and Auburn, that are ready and willing to come in and scoop up players that have been let go from some other institution and give them their 'second chance', and in this case, I say go right ahead. If I'm a player at the University of Georgia and a couple of my teammates are stealing from me, I don't think I would want them back, I don't care how good they are. If you're not going to let the QB who was let go a couple years ago have a chance to come back, then why in the world would you give these guys a shot? They directly violated one of their own guys! Maybe more than one. Coach Richt is a nice guy, we all know this, but I say he may be going to far with this one. You always hear that in sports, having good chemistry in the locker room goes a long way, well, what kind of chemistry could you have with a couple of thieves in there? It's not like they were stealing laptops from just any student, like Scam Newton did, they were stealing cash from out of other players lockers. So, what do you think, is Coach Richt being too nice to 'leave the door open', or should he be saying 'don't let the door hit you in the....'?
