Jameis Winston (QB Browns)

[Mike80]

ESPN (Shelley Smith) says that they have a "Trusted source" that claims she was well under the legal limit and was not impaired. Inferred that the woman is lying and toxicology reports she was not drunk.

Yeah - but by the time they tested her, she may have been on the way down. I'm sure that "trusted source" is well within the FSU administration.

If she was lying about the assault... and the consent... wouldn't it be easier for her to then pretend to never remember WHO.. instead of naming Winston 5 weeks later... and if it was consensual... why wouldn't Winston agree to the interview... math doesn't work.. but I have seen same scenario play out before.. so I just hope they get it right

Totally agree. I have zero trust with an ESPN "inside source". Ill take TMZ's words and sources over ESPiN

So, how much does FSU pay to make this go away?

I did not know you had to call a press conference to arrest a person so obviously they are getting this out-of-the-way for the Heisman voting. Maybe someone should investigate the Tallahassee police force.

Why would she lie about how drunk she was? Unless she's a woman wrestler or weight lifter, completely sober she would still have trouble fighting off a trained athlete. And, saying she was very drunk really only gives critics an opening to blame her for being in no condition to defend herself.

but, but, but....they said this has nothing to do with the Heisman or football.

They might as well just award him the Heisman now. The award is quickly going down the drain. Troy and RGIII are probably the last two decent award recipients to win.

ESPN reporting no charges will be filed..

 

[LostLassie]

You gotta love the wording on this from the end of the Fox Sports story:

If Winston is charged, he would most likely be suspended by Florida State – the school’s athletic conduct code requires it in all but the most extraordinary cases.

Yeah, they can hype that little action figure all they like, but they've demonstrated to my satisfaction that any prestige and honor associated with it faded a while ago.
