If Georgia's Washaun Ealey didn't want his eyes gouged out by Florida's Brandon Spikes, then maybe he shouldn't have worn a helmet that allows for pesky weaknesses like "vision." A few people who weren't working on the CBS crew for Saturday's Georgia-Florida game noticed Spikes giving Ealey the business at the bottom of a pile in the third quarter...

Those aren't just words inspired by the horrific video replayed over and over on television and YouTube the last few days, showing the menacing Florida linebacker gouging the eyes of a Georgia player.
