I lost all respect i ever had for this man last year and how he handled crab legs.... i think he is getting to the point where he may have zero credibility left an may never get it back..
Just my thoughts, not saying they are "the right ones", but now when i hear him talk of his quarterback I cannot help but think there is the Jamis Winston Bitch.... he will say and do anything to keep the kid on the field. 1, 2, maybe 3 times a kid screws up but crablegs has been documented at least 7/8 times of shit.... I don't even know how anyone can even doubt he did not rape that girl at this point. He has zero credibility , just a very bad person. The way the NFL is cracking down on players, his career may be over before it begins..

Even as Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says he believes that quarterback Jameis Winstondidn't sign autographs for money, a source tells ESPN that the university's athletic compliance department has begun to look into how so many Winston autographs were authenticated by a single company.
ESPN has learned that after the team's 38-20 win Saturday against Syracuse, Fisher approached Winston and asked him whether he signed autographs for money. Winston told Fisher, according to the source, that he did not.

What violations might Jameis Winston be charged with at his FSU student conduct code hearing, what punishment could he face, and will he have to testify?Story
Fisher then told reporters he wasn't concerned that an autograph-authentication business, which recently was linked to suspended Georgia running back Todd Gurley, also was linked to Winston.
James Spence Authentication certified more than 500 autographs of Gurley, who is being investigated for allegedly taking money for signings.
A cursory search on JSA's website found more than 340 certified Winston autographs. An additional search later on Monday revealed 600 more Winston autographs that had been authenticated and logged into the company's website verification system for a total of more than 950 autographs.
FSU has not been contacted on the matter by the ACC or the NCAA, but the university's compliance department has begun to specifically look into how JSA received such a large number of signatures.
Each of Spence's authenticated items comes with a card that says "it is our considered opinion that the items are genuine," but the contract that is signed with JSA by the person submitting the items says that "no warranty or representation and shall have no liability whatsoever to the customer for the opinion rendered."
James Spence, founder of James Spence Authentication, which authenticated more than 900 Winston signed items, told ESPN on Tuesday that he is "very confident" that the autographs his team authenticated of Winston were indeed signed by the Florida State quarterback.
He also said that the idea that Winston would have signed these items for a bunch of fans at different times is highly unlikely.

ESPN's Mark Schlabach tells Todd Grisham about Florida State's investigation into the authenticity of more than 340 Jameis Winston autographs and more.
"The way they are sequenced does mean they were submitted at the same time by a person," Spence said. "I can't imagine that fans would get together to do that."
Fisher had a different take this past weekend.
"Kids sign things all the time," Fisher said after Saturday's game. "So what do you want them to do, stop signing stuff? We could make them not have any fans from that standpoint and not sign for anybody. That's what it's going to come to, and that's a shame for college football, that somebody exploits a kid. Now, if they're getting paid for it, then I don't have any knowledge of that. I don't believe Jameis did."
Despite Fisher's theory that the items could have come from different fans, it's doubtful they came from more than a few people.
Authenticators certify an autograph by attaching a serial number to an item. That serial number then links back to the authenticator's website, where the owner of that signature or a prospective buyer can look it up.
JSA authenticates items as it receives them and attaches the serial numbers in sequential order. JSA authenticated 432 signed jersey numbers with serial numbers J62424 through J62659 and serial numbers J72790 through J72992. JSA authenticated 117 16-by-20 photos (J70005 through J70121), 77 of the same Florida State logo footballs (J65886 through J65962), 73 white jerseys (J61437 through J61509) and 68 of the same signed mini helmets with serial numbers J66829 through J66896. The company also authenticated 55 jerseys (J66947 through J67001), 39 11-by-14 photos (J66026 through J66064), 20 signed pylons (J70609 through J70628), 18 of the same footballs (J66919 through J66936) and 11 signed Rawlings baseballs (J66898 through J66911).
"The items that I've seen signed by Todd Gurley and Jameis Winston, which have been authenticated by JSA, look like they came from an autograph signing," said Martin Buckley, co-owner of Palm Beach Autographs in Florida, which has done signings with Heisman Trophy winners Tim Tebow, Herschel Walker and Charlie Ward, among others. "This is based on the items themselves being similar, the quantities of those items, the consistency of signature as well as similar spots in which they signed."
Winston already faces an upcoming disciplinary hearing to determine whether he violated the school's conduct code in an alleged sexual assault in December 2012. Fisher said Monday that Winston, who sat out the Clemson game for yelling an obscene phrase in the student union,won't miss any games in the meantime.
"The facts are the facts," Fisher said. "There is no victim because there was no crime."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- One of three former Florida Supreme Court justices will serve as an independent hearing official in Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston's upcoming hearing to determine whether he violated the school's conduct code during an alleged sexual assault in December 2012.
The former Florida Supreme Court justice who is picked to hear the case will consider the evidence, determine whether Winston committed as many as four violations of FSU's student code and, if necessary, determine what his punishment should be.
Winston and the former FSU student who accused him of sexually assaulting her can each strike one of the former justices from hearing the case. If they choose to strike the same former judge, FSU would decide which of the remaining two would hear the case. Winston and the former student will not have any interaction with the judges before they decide which one to strike.

Florida State's compliance department has begun to look into how so many Jameis Winston autographs were authenticated by a single company, a source told ESPN. Story
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is confident quarterback Jameis Winston will not miss any playing time due to an ongoing investigation. Story
According to people familiar with the case, the three former Florida Supreme Court judges under consideration are:
• Major Harding, 79, a state Supreme Court justice from 1991 to 2000 who preceded Charles T. Wells as the court's chief justice. A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Harding is a graduate of Wake Forest and Virginia's law school.
• Joseph Hatchett, a native of Clearwater, Florida, became the first African-American appointed to the Florida Supreme Court, by Gov. Reubin Askew in 1975. Hatchett, 82, was the first black man appointed to a federal appeals court in the Deep South, by President Jimmy Carter in 1979.
• Wells, a Florida Supreme Court justice from 1994 to 2009. A graduate of the University of Florida and the UF Law School, Wells was the court's chief justice from 2000 to 2002. Wells, 75, presided over the 2000 U.S. presidential election recount cases involving the hanging chads on Florida's ballots.
Typically, FSU's student conduct cases are heard by one of the following: the director of student rights and responsibilities, the dean of students, an associate dean of students, the student conduct board, or an administrative hearing panel, which consists of one faculty member, one staff member and two student conduct board members.
[h=4]ESPN Radio[/h]
ESPN's Mark Schlabach tells Todd Grisham about Florida State's investigation into the authenticity of more than 340 Jameis Winston autographs and more.
But in what they called "the best interests of the university," FSU interim president Garnett Stokes and vice president for student affairs Mary Coburn chose to have one of three people from outside the university conduct the formal investigative hearing.
FSU spokeswoman Browning Brooks told ESPN.com on Saturday that FSU chose to have an outside observer hear the case to ensure impartiality.
"To ensure an absolutely fair and impartial process, and to avoid any conflict created by the ongoing federal investigation and threatened civil litigation, the university will appoint an independent hearing officer to investigate and make findings regarding this matter," Brooks said in a statement. "The use of an outside hearing officer is allowed under FSU procedures. Out of fairness to the students involved, we are exercising this option to remove any doubt about the integrity of the eventual outcome."
Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner who led FSU to the 2013 national championship, was notified of the pending hearing by letter last week. He has until Friday to contact FSU's Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities to schedule an information hearing, which probably won't take place until after Saturday's game against No. 5 Notre Dame at Doak Campbell Stadium.
After the information hearing, in which the university will explain to Winston his rights and he'll be asked to strike one of the justices, FSU officials are required to give him notice of the hearing date at least five school days in advance.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is confident Jameis Winston will not miss the No. 2 Seminoles' game against No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday or any game this season despite an upcoming university student conduct code hearing that stems from an alleged December 2012 sexual assault of another Florida State student.
[+] Enlarge
John David Mercer/USA TodayJimbo Fisher expects Florida State to have Jameis Winston for every game this season. "We believe in him 100 percent," the coach said Monday. "The facts are the facts."
In a letter sent to Winston and his attorney on Friday, which ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach obtained, FSU interim president Garnett Stokes and vice president for student affairs Mary B. Coburn informed Winston he could be charged with as many as four violations of the university's code of conduct.
The possible punishments range from a written or verbal reprimand to expulsion.
"None," Fisher answered when asked about his level of concern Winston could miss games.
Asked why he felt so confident, Fisher replied, "I know the facts of the case. The facts haven't changed in the case. We know the report and know everything out there. There's nothing new out there. We've been through this."
Winston was not criminally charged in December 2013 following an investigation by Willie Meggs, the state attorney for the Second Judicial Circuit. However, the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights is investigating Florida State's handling of the case and whether the school properly carried out its mandatory Title IX responsibilities.
Winston did not miss any games while under investigation in 2013. He won the Heisman Trophy and led Florida State to an undefeated season and the national championship.
Fisher was emotional during his weekly news conference Monday when defending Winston. His support of Winston has not waned over the past year and he said Monday, "We believe in him 100 percent."
[h=4]More from ESPN.com[/h]
What violations might Jameis Winston be charged with at his FSU student conduct code hearing, what punishment could he face, and will he have to testify?Story
"Read the reports and read what's there," Fisher said. "The facts are the facts. I see stories written that don't have all the facts and taint them toward their side. This country is based on being innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. I don't want [any victims] ... but there is no victim because there was no crime. We're [publicly] convicting a guy over things that are not true based on evidence. There is no evidence."
In a little more than two years at Florida State, Winston has generated a list of off-field headlines and incidents. In September, he was suspended for one game for using an obscene phrase on campus. He was also involved in a BB gun incident in 2012 in which $4,000 worth of damage was caused, and The New York Times reported several Florida State players have been part of an ongoing BB gun game for the past two years. A June 2014 BB gun incident resulted in FSU players Dalvin Cook, Trey Marshall andJesus Wilson being charged with misdemeanor criminal mischief, according to The New York Times.
[h=4]ESPN Radio[/h]
ESPN's Mark Schlabach tells Todd Grisham about Florida State's investigation into the authenticity of more than 340 Jameis Winston autographs and more.
The Times' article indicated Florida State football players have received preferential treatment from Tallahassee police. Fisher vehemently denied that assertion.
"I think it's exactly the opposite," Fisher said. Asked to elaborate as to why he felt the way, he tersely added, "The facts of it."
Fisher said players involved in the BB gun incidents have been disciplined internally. Kentucky and NC State recently suspended players for actions involving the use of BB guns.
Just my thoughts, not saying they are "the right ones", but now when i hear him talk of his quarterback I cannot help but think there is the Jamis Winston Bitch.... he will say and do anything to keep the kid on the field. 1, 2, maybe 3 times a kid screws up but crablegs has been documented at least 7/8 times of shit....
