The Easy Out

It seems like Heisman Trophy Winner and supremely talented Florida State baseball player Jameis Winston has gotten himself into trouble again but players like him at major football factories like Florida State always never seem to pay for it. All over $32 worth of seafood from a Publix Supermarket. He said he "forgot" to pay for it. When the cops talked to him three hours later, he had made no effort to go back and pay for it or even make a phone call to the Publix in question. The statement that was supposedly released by Jameis Winston yesterday through Florida State University wasd a real pant load because I do not believe Mr. Winston wrote the first word of it or even read the first word of it before it was passed on to the press. It was written and prepared by FSU's Public Relations Department and I am guessing whoever wrote this is preparing for a career as a Presidential Speech Writer because it mastered apologetic double talk and it meant nothing. The baseball coach at least had the stones to suspend him from the baseball team but all Mr. Winston has to do is 20 hours of community service and it will all go away. I can guarantee these 20 hours will be well out of the public eye, he will not be picking up garbage by the side of the road, and they will be well taken care of by the time fall practice rolls around and probably the ACC Baseball Tournament as well. It is the easiest out he will ever have.
