Strickland won't miss playing time

Good news... the punishment fits the crime. Josh Kendall reports that Strickland won't miss playing time:
Strickland will not miss any game or practice time due to the arrest but will be required to complete what head coach Mark Richt referred to as “in-house” discipline, Richt said after practice Monday. In-house discipline generally means punishment running and community service.

I'm usually very supportive of punishment for players who have committed a crime. However, in this case I agree with CMR. This was a victimless crime and while it warrants a response from CMR I don't think it's worthy of suspension from play time or practice.

Amen. This absolutely falls into the category of "who cares" and "you wouldn't even know this happened in 1987."

Picking up on Paul's point from yesterday about how the internets have changed things (and Hank's 1987 point), Chip Tower's blog on the AJC is now having a discussion in comments on "What should happen to Strickland?" with a link from the main UGA sports page of the AJC.

So now the top newspaper in the South, Henry Grady's newspaper, is flogging this thing for a few more more page views. Covers Dixie like the dew, indeed.

Uh, how about he runs stairs until he pukes and the AJC leaves him alone? How about that?
