Georgia's Kirby Smart addresses recent football player arrests, says players are being punished

On Tuesday, Georgia football coach Kirby Smart revealed that players arrested this year on speeding-related charges are facing punishment.

While Smart confirmed that the athletes were being disciplined, the Bulldogs head coach declined to share details on punishments. 

"Everybody wants to know what the punishment is. Well, the players know what the punishment is," Smart said during this week's SEC spring meetings. 

"And that’s important for our guys to acknowledge that and understand it. But I want to educate further. I want to make sure they understand."

Last week, senior receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint became the latest member of the team to be arrested for a driving offense. According to Athens-Clarke County police, Rosemy-Jacksaint's vehicle reached 90 mph in a 45 mph zone.

He was released on bond less than an hour after he was booked into jail.

In February, junior linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson was charged for what police described as street racing.

Several weeks ago, freshman receiver De’Nylon Morrissette was taken into police custody after authorities observed him "driving too fast for conditions." He was also charged with a DUI and two additional misdemeanors. 

Body camera footage obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution showed a police officer reprimanding Morrissette. During the video, the officer referenced the speeding incident that claimed the lives of offensive lineman Devin Willock and football staffer Chandler LeCroy.

"Y’all got to slow down," the officer told Morrissette. "We’ve been getting all of y’all — a lot. You obviously know about the other wreck and stuff. Y’all got to slow down." The officer added, referring to Georgia’s head coach, "I’m sure Kirby (Smart) wouldn’t be happy about all of this."

Jalen Carter, a unanimous All-American in 2022, was charged with street racing in the fatal Jan. 15 car crash near the University of Georgia campus. Willock and LeCroy died as a result of the wreck.

Smart had not previously announced suspensions due to the arrests.

"Nobody’s more embarrassed than Marcus Rosemy and his parents. Oh my gosh, they’re just crushed," Smart said. 

"Marcus has to learn from this. So does De’Nylon. Part of being an 18-year-old young man, a 19-year-old young man, a 20-year-old young man, is you have to learn from your mistakes. I was that age once too. We don’t condone anything. They’ve got to do a good job and make good decisions off the field."

Smart added that the program will focus on educating the players on their conduct as it relates to a variety of situations.

"We’ve got a lot more education things lined up to come (on speeding). But it’s not just about that. It’s about everything that they can get into, in terms of gambling, drugs and alcohol, treatment of the opposite sex. We have a ton of speakers during our summer circuit program. We’ve ramped that up. But we’ll do all we can to curtail (speeding)."

University of Georgia President Jere Morehead has been steadfast in his support of Smart, saying last week that the football coach had his full trust.

"I know that coach Smart is addressing it," Morehead said. "But I leave it up to him to determine what he wants to say publicly or not say publicly. I trust his judgment in that regard."

Gal Gadot says 'Godfather' director helped her deal with 'impostor syndrome'

Gal Gadot is a huge star, but revealed she deals with impostor syndrome as her career continues to grow.

Gadot, 38, opened up about her insecurities in the Hollywood industry and the surprising person who helped her better understand them, in an interview with L'Officiel magazine. 

"It’s funny, I always feel like I have this impostor syndrome, because I feel so lucky and I’m so happy that I get to do what I really, really, really love," Gadot explained. "I always feel like, ‘I hope they’re gonna like it.’ There’s never a moment when I’m like, ‘They’re gonna love this.'" 

Impostor syndrome refers to someone who believes they are undeserving of their high achievements, according to Psychology Today.

GAL GADOT'S ROLE IN THE DC UNIVERSE CLARIFIED BY JAMES GUNN

"The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola actually helped Gadot gain perspective, she revealed while speaking about her upcoming film "Heart of Stone."

"I remember speaking to Francis Ford Coppola, and I asked him, ‘So how does it feel to be a national treasure?’ And he said, ‘You know, something? I’m always filled with doubts. I’m always afraid they’re not going to like it. I just follow my heart and I come into it humble,'" she recalled.

"I think this was one of the biggest lessons. I’m sitting with the legend Francis Ford Coppola, and he’s talking about how humble and insecure he can get," Gadot added. "I was like, ‘OK, I can be insecure all the time.’"

The "Wonder Woman" star isn't exactly sure what to expect from her new character – Rachel Stone – but she would be happy to reprise the role.

"I feel like now it’s too soon for me to talk about what it means to me to be the lead for this franchise. Most of all, I hope people are going to enjoy it," she told the outlet. "And afterward, if I’m lucky enough to make another Rachel Stone movie, I would be so happy, and we’ll talk about it then if we ever get to the other side."

Another project Gadot has been working on is the live action remake of Disney's "Snow White," in which she stars as the Evil Queen.

"I can’t believe I got to play the Evil Queen, the first evil villain in the history of Disney. I get to sing and explore my theatrical, evil dark side," she told the magazine. "The first four days, I was really in character, meaning like, it was hard for me to come out of the character, I was so in it. It’s like doing theater. Everything is bigger. Everything is more dramatic. It was a lot of fun."

Gadot has been so busy she turned down the Greta Gerwig "Barbie" film, Margot Robbie revealed in a recent interview with Vogue magazine.

"Gal Gadot is Barbie energy," Robbie told the outlet. "Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don’t hate her for being that beautiful, because she’s so genuinely sincere, and she’s so enthusiastically kind, that it’s almost dorky."
