News Article: Interesting article on Jameis - sort of points up some of the problems...

I feel as though he's going to be one of those who skates through life until it finally catches up to him and then he's not going to know what to do. I do hope this point doesn't come down to his ability to write out a complete sentence... That text was BRUTAL to read!

Everyone can say what they want about the NFL wanting choir boys. At the end of the conversation, let me mention a few names ...

$cam Newton
Ray Lewis
Michael Vick
Aaron Hernandez

I think the NFL cares about stats, butts in seat, beer sales & bad PR from current indictments in the news. Winston will get drafted and play on Sundays ... and he knows it.

Ben Roethelisberger would have been a better example with whom to compare Winston.

I wonder if the school or coaches promised that they would have someone with Jameis at all times. That is the only reason I can see for Mr. Winston for saying that. It isn't unheard of to have people assigned to high profile "celebrities" in Jameis's position. This still doesn't excuse the behavior, but it might give a reason for Dad's comments.
What irritates me is that Winston's text telling his dad that "everythang is good". the son doesn't tell the dad when the punishment is over. I think my dad would have gone off about that. He would've probably whipped me and told me, "I'll let you know when everythang is good." Of course, that is not a conversation you have over text either.

OK everyone, raise your hand if you had an attorney on retainer in college?

I agree 100% with ya Earle..With the thorough background check the NFL does before drafting these Players out of college, The Pats knew exactly, what they were getting & took their chances anyways on Hernandez..I'm sure they were very knowledgeable of his gang affiliation away from the football field..

I believe that the Pats knew what they had with Hernandez, even before the indictment - a dangerous sociopath...

God is a big fan of shellfish. Hence the stuff in Leviticus telling the Israelites to keep their hands off them. He wanted them all for Himself. :biggrin:

I wish my arm was long enough to punch Jameis and his enabling father in the face.

DON'T YOU BLASPHEME!

Stupidity and a sense of entitlement make for a dangerous combination. And I'm talking about both JW and his father.

Notice how it's always a background problem that happened in the past with these sort of athletes?....never fails..:rolleye2:

The "he's only 20 so he will make some mistakes" excuse is wearing a little thin with me. A lot of us spent our 20th birthday in a jungle in Vietnam. Even now we have 18 year old young men in Afghanistan or serving their country in some other way.
Most 20 year old individuals understand the difference between making a mistake and breaking the law. Yes, I've certainly made mistakes in my life, but at 20, I'm pretty sure I knew stealing was wrong.

I had no idea that you were a "Vietnam Vet" my Brother, I had an Uncle that was in Vietnam & another that served in the Korean War, and they both told me it was literally "Hell On Earth" at both places..Thank You for your service gtown, cause without Hero's like yourself, our lives & freedom, wouldn't be what it is today..We all take our "Freedom" for granted, but, there were many souls & lives, lost in those wars, that allows us to be able to just be able to post our own thoughts here on TideFans..Again Thank You..You sir are a true Hero & I truly want to simply say..Thank You..Your service is very much appreciated my Crimson Tide Friend & Brother..

Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad we didn't get this guy at Bama! He has great athletic skills, he needs life skills.

Iagree 100% with ya Bro..I'm soooooo glad he's The Criminal's problem & he didn't stay home to play college football here at Bama..That makes me cringe just typing that & just thinking about that..Jameis is the type attitude problem that can literally become a program killer..

Jameis is nothing but a narcissistic sociopath. He will do someone great harm again and this time it will be even worse.
