Jameis Winston (QB Browns)

They had Jimbo on Mike & Mike this morning, tripling down on Winston's high character and trustworthiness. Corch was downright indignant.
He's going down with this ship. He either knows something we don't, or he is just a total arrogant ass. If (and that's a HUGE if) anything happens to Winston, I hope ol' Jimbo fries just as hard.

So we know Winston is not a person of high morale character, and we know some really shady crap is going on with FSU. But can we stop for a minute to think who is feeding us all this information?

Let me help you out. It's ESPiN.

They may be bringing it up on their "news" and talk segments, but there is a disgustingly strong lean toward making apologies for him, supporting him continuing to play, emphasizing lack of evidents, etc. I'd say their coverage is mostly lip service because everyone else is investigating it.

Yep. Herbie was on Mike & Mike yesterday morning, and this pretty much summarizes what he had to say. I'm firmly convinced that Herbie could witness Winston signing 500 items over the course of a few hours and be given a handful of cash, and yet Herbie would still claim there wasn't enough evidence to suspend Winston.

Actually espn is pretty much the only "news" agency not investigating this. NY times, fox, abc, tampa tribune, tmz, and many more are all doing the investigating. Espn is just repeating their reporting.
Well you wouldn't want to spoil Mark May's weekend. (Mods, if when you type in "shit" you get Mark May, then shouldn't it follow that when you type in Mark May you get "shit?"

He knows something everybody else knows. The NCAA can't do shit about it. Nobody has come out yet saying they have direct evidence tying him to any money....the NCAA won't/can't find it on their own. He's in the clear until he does the next stupid thing that he'll also be cleared for.

Winston complies with school hearing deadline

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Jameis Winston has complied with the first deadline in Florida State's code of conduct hearing process, the adviser for the quarterback's family said Friday.

Lawyer David Cornwell said in a statement that Winston will cooperate with the procedure but will not ''waive our right to challenge any aspect of this process.''

Winston is facing a hearing to determine whether four sections of the code of conduct have been violated - two for sexual misconduct and two for endangerment. A former female student said he sexually assaulted her in December 2012.

Winston was required to strike one of three former Florida Supreme Court Justices from a list that will produce the hearing official. He also had to give possible dates for an information session that will precede the formal hearing.

Cornwell requested more information from the woman, including the record from the code of conduct hearing involving football players Chris Casher and Ronald Darby and ''all of her prior statements regarding her sexual relationship with Mr. Winston, access to her social media accounts from 2012/2013, and her phone and text message records the night of and the days following the alleged incident.''

The woman's lawyer, John Clune, said Cornwell wants to turn this into ''media circus.''

''We would think his client has had enough of that lately,'' Clune said in an email. ''Both sides will get the same information from the school, both will be able to testify, and the judge will decide. We are not going to allow a whole new disciplinary process just for Jameis Winston.''

Both parties can view all materials related to the case at the information session and get details about the process and their rights.

Cornwell's sideshow will be over soon.
