It's been a rough offseason in Athens. Several players have been arrested on various alcohol-related charges. Those arrests were followed closely by the photos of Matt Stafford, Kegmaster -- which, though not depicting illicit illegality, were somewhat embarrassing for Dawg fans. Then this week happened.

First, reserve defensive tackle Tripp Taylor was charged Monday in connection with a brawl in which, allegedly, one teenager was hit with a baseball bat and another was urinated on (former Murray State wide receiver Shane McKlesky was also charged). The details of what exactly happened are unclear, but Georgia blogger Paul Westerdawg said of the situation:

Regardless, this isn't the normal boys will be boys stuff that doesn't bother me and that I joke about. Taylor is either in a world of trouble, or this will blow over in a few months after all the he said / she said stuff passes by.

PWD is right, the situation isn't funny. But what is a little funny is the arrest of Georgia freshman running back Caleb King, who was booked for driving with a suspended license and going the wrong way down a one-way street... on his moped. Ok, so it's not funny if you're Caleb King, but of all the things for a guy to be arrested for, and, seriously, on a moped? As far as any football related punishment for King, the AJC says:

Georgia coach Mark Richt does not comment on traffic citations, said an athletics department spokesman, who added that any disciplinary action will be handled internally. It is not expected that King's transgression will result in any loss of playing time.

I think it's punishment enough that the whole world now knows that dude drives a moped.
