Maybe Humphrey Can Play in the NFL

Now that we (when I say we I mean Ryan) have done the NBA draft to death with phenomenal coverage that make some of the other sites bow their heads in awe and worship, it’s time to get on with other news.
It looks like it’s three strikes and you are out for Georgia Bulldogs junior guard Billy Humphrey. Georgia Coach Dennis Felton had finally had enough of Humphrey’s shenanigans and dismissed him after his third arrest.
The final nail in the coffin for Humphrey was a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) failure to maintain his lane and the underage purchase of alcohol last week. Humphrey is 20, and whether the rest of you and Humphrey believe it or not, the legal drinking age is still 21.
It was the second time he was busted for underage drinking. In February he was also caught for possession of alcohol after leaving an Athens nightclub.
Humphrey was previously arrested in November of last year for possessing a pocket knife more than two inches long on the University of Georgia campus, which is a felony weapons charge. That was enough for a suspension.
In all seriousness, it looks like Humphrey will have to find another place to play college basketball and it’s too bad. The 6-2, 190 pound junior guard looked like he was coming into his own averaging 12.2 points a game for the Bulldogs last season.
Let’s hope that this is the wake up call that Humphrey needs to straighten himself out, stay out of trouble and away from the booze and weapons before he and/or someone gets seriously hurt.
