as for speaking, as long as it is bitch slapping and correcting your punk ass , woof, woof !!!

No problem. Here is one link:

Don't know if you can link the live ESPN with Doug Flutie this morning, but he also said it was a bad call.


And now the funny thing, I thought the call was on the inside receiver, #20, but Kelly says they told him it was on the other receiver on the outside. That's even worse because he ran into the end zone, the defender and him made contact and he turned to look for the ball. Then throw in another thing I didn't catch, FSU defender PJ Williams took his helmet off on the field immediately after the completion. When asked why there was no call the zebras explained that they just missed it. Even if the call was legit, which it really wasn't, the penalties should have been offsetting and the down played over again from the 2. Typical ACC game officials cluster you know what. Now bark and yip. I'm hoping for four responses to this post from you.

"TURNED AND LOOKED FOR THE BALL......LOL!!...he turned, as he continued blocking, to see if his teammate caught the ball yet...this was a designed play, it was NEVER going to be thrown to either of the 2 WR's illegally blocking downfield .( in fact both of the blocking WR's looked back, not for the ball,. but to see if the other guy had caught it yet, your spinning is laughable) For someone who cried about the Porter call, FOR YEARS, your blindness on this is laughable.

THE FLAG WAS THROWN BEFORE THE RECEIVER EVEN CAUGHT THE BALL! Cry,complain , bitch and moan all you want, FSU won the game 31-27



ACC: Our refs got Notre Dame-Florida State interference call right
October 19, 2014 8:23 pm ET

After Notre Dame's loss to Florida State on Saturday night, Irish coach Brian Kelly insisted that the refs were wrong on an offensive pass interference call late in the game.

Kelly was, in fact, wrong. After talking for background to one high-ranking ACC official, the officiating crew was in perfect position to make the call. The replay shows that possibly both C.J. Prosise and Will Fuller were blocking downfield for Notre Dame.

Had the ball been thrown behind the line of scrimmage, Robinson could have legally caught the ball for a touchdown. Because Golson's pass was beyond the line, Prosise and Fuller were making illegal contact with FSU defenders.

“In response to your inquiry,” ACC officiating supervisor Doug Rhoads told me Sunday night. “I've reviewed the video of the play and the call for blocking downfield was correct.”

The ACC is in the second year of providing officials for Notre Dame's games, and a further explanation can be seen here.

LOL! Now you are just combining into really long responses so I don't reach my goal. Dirty, even for you. You ask for a link, no comment. I throw you an uncalled foul on FSU on the same play and no vehement denial? No deluge of F bombs? You feeling okay or just tired? And just so you don't think I ignored you, already saw the ACC response. I'm pretty sure they have their "our guys didn't F up" releases on file and just grab the closest one.

Report: Jameis Winston won't drop out of FSU, will declare for NFL draft







Following his biggest win of the season, many people are wondering what's next for Florida State star quarterback Jameis Winston - particularly given the school's investigation into previous sexual assault charges brought against him, as well as an inquiry into whether he violated NCAA rules after he was allegedly compensated for autographs.

 © Melina Vastola-USA TODAY Sports
Winston will reportedly fight to maintain his innocence in both matters, and according to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, sources close to Winston say dropping out of school is in no way a consideration for the Heisman winner.

However, his relationship with Florida State brass has become strained to the point that he will definitely declare for April's NFL draft.

Winston projects as a top-10 pick.



where is the ignorant fool claiming Winston was dropping badly in draft selection..... IDIOT!!!

Heisman Trophy update: Shhhh, don’t mention Jameis Winston


chuck Culpepper October 20 



Florida State quarterback JameisWinston, right, and Larry Levy celebrate after defeating Notre Dame, 31-27. (Mark Wallheiser / Associated Press)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Twelve-forty-nine a.m., and here came Jameis Winston from behind a wall with the customary Southeastern United States football police officer and the customary athletic media relations official, rounding the corner, coming into view, turning toward the drowsy media throng that hadn’t noticed him just yet and muttering, “Let’s do it” — quietly, somewhat reluctantly, almost meekly.

That did sound odd, for Winston would be someone neither quiet nor reluctant nor even within a Florida mile of meek, but there he went to do it: to answer post-game questions, the part of his “job” that has grown trickiest.

The media-relations official announced Winston would answer questions only about the game, so Winston answered questions only about the game. On the field, his coach (Jimbo Fisher) had whispered into his ear about humility; in the interview room, Winston did practice humility.

He said it had been a “blessing” to share a field and a classic game with Notre Dame.

He said that when Notre Dame apparently scored to go ahead with 13 seconds left, he told his offense to get ready because he still planned on winning.

He said, on a night when he roared back from a so-so first half, “You know what I do? I get back up. And I keep playing football. And we keep winning.”

He warbled on about how he’s proud of his receivers, ballyhooing the true freshman Travis Rudolph, whose six catches for 80 yards in the riveting win over Notre Dame did sparkle.

Had you just awakened from a 12-month nap — and boy, do some of us need those — you might have thought you saw a Heisman Trophy frontrunner sitting right there. Here was a quarterback who won the Heisman last year as a freshman. Here was a quarterback who clearly exercised his will over a towering game, the No. 2 Seminoles against the No. 5 Fighting Irish, tearing through a second half with 15 completions in his first 16 passes and masterful guidances of touchdown drives of 70, 75 and 75 yards. Here was an unmistakable football player of the first order, the kind of guy you eyeball and think, “Heisman.”

Yet here was a guy who has come up nada or next-to-nada on many a Heisman list, all through the first seven games.

We all can cite plausible reasons. In 79 Heisman Trophy presentations, we Yanks have shown a reluctance to give the thing twice to the same player, doing so only once (Archie Griffin, running back, Ohio State, 1974 and 1975). We like to pass it around. We also seem to dislike giving the Heisman to someone with repeated issues around whatever football-berserk town he inhabits. Then there’s the cold, hard fact that Winston missed a crucial game, against Clemson, and he missed it because he stood on campus on the preceding Tuesday hollering vulgarities.

If you read carefully between the lines of the Constitution, it says that the Founding Fathers wished us to avoid giving another Heisman to anyone who stole crab legs from a Publix.

It’s one thing that Winston isn’t among frontrunners this time around, but it’s another that his name seldom really even comes up. All awards have their judgmental wiggle room, and here seems an unusually telling case that monitors what we seem to favor — or disfavor — with our Heismans.

Meanwhile, the favoring:

Dak Prescott, quarterback, Mississippi State: This Zeus of a leader did not play on Saturday, but wherever he walked, 10 other people probably followed him to multiple touchdowns.

Marcus Mariota, quarterback, Oregon: We people who have lived on the West Coast know how people on the East Coast are so myopic in their/our sports, so we need to guard against overlooking the fact that Mariota just posted a celestial quarterback rating of 178.3 against Washington, and how his season has included a whopping 10.4 yards per pass play, 19 touchdown passes and a great big billboard of an interception total of zero.



Tevin Coleman, running back, Indiana: As the season goes along on Heisman lists, players can come and go as we try them on for size, and it shouldn’t hurt Coleman that he plays on a 3-4 team; it should help him. It also should help that he has run around football fields at 8.8 yards per carry, which is quite a way to go through college.

Shaq Thompson, linebacker, Washington: Yes, the very good defense he leads underwent a typical gashing by Oregon, but that didn’t change his total-football prowess or his five touchdowns this year, four on defense.

Cody Prewitt, safety, Ole Miss: Here we are well into October, and here the Ole Miss defense still hasn’t allowed even 75 points (74 total), and here’s one of their defensive stalwarts, and here’s our continuing effort to counterbalance America’s rampaging discrimination against defenders.

Toot the horn a bit for FSU fall athletics.

FSU's fall sports (football, women's soccer, and volleyball), are a combined 40-1 on the year, and all 3 are ranked number 2 in their respective sports.

Jimbo Fisher’s son dresses up as Jameis Winston for his school’s “superhero day”

Superman? Batman? Spiderman? Nope. How about Jameis Winston as a superhero? Jimbo Fisher’s son dressed up as the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback for his school’s “superhero day.” And he actually borrowed Winston’s jersey for his costume.

Jose Baez: Jameis Winston gets a bad rap after a rape accusation, and he wasn't charged.

t▼
Jose Baez speaks up for Jameis Winston whose critics won't forget false rape accusation.
October 30, 2014




First, as a matter of full disclosure, I am a Florida State University grad and also a fan of Jameis Winston on the football field. Having said that, I do not know him; nor have I ever represented him. Now that we have my potential bias out of the way, it is worth noting that, unfortunately, many media types never disclose their biases, which include the need to make news when there isn't necessarily anything to write about..

The most serious issue involving Winston is the allegation of rape that surfaced in November of last year after a story written by TMZ. The alleged rape was investigated, reviewed for prosecution and declined by the elected state attorney of that district, who cited lack of evidence and inconsistencies in the statements given by the alleged victim. Additionally, it was noted that the accuser's statements were inconsistent with other physical evidence in the case.

One might normally think: "Poor Jameis Winston; here was a kid who came from nothing, takes the world by storm, wins the Heisman Trophy, and was accused unjustifiably of the worst possible crime that a young man can be accused of."

But the exact opposite has happened: People assume that he got away with rape. This adds to the complexity of being falsely accused of rape. It's one of those things that just never goes away.

But if there's one thing that we like better than a story of rags to riches, it is the massive downfall of a superstar. Just look at the cases of Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson. Yes, I include Mike Tyson, because I believe that in light of evidence that was not admitted during his trial, Mike Tyson was, in fact, innocent of committing rape.

@the Rainmaker With the severity of the allegations, it was warranted. As private citizens, we have the luxury of being innocent until proven guilty. As a Student under scholarship at the university, He was treated appropriately. The University has an investment and a reputation to look...

Sexual-assault cases are the most difficult cases to prosecute. Couple that with a sloppy investigation, inconsistent statements and evidence that completely contradicts the accuser's claims, and you have a case that will go nowhere in a hurry.

Recently, while Fox News anchor Geraldo Rivera was in Orlando, he and I got into a heated debate over this very issue. Rivera led me to believe that he, like many sportswriters, feels that Winston is guilty because FSU and the Tallahassee Police Department covered up and bungled the investigation.

The point that most media pundits and sportswriters seem to overlook is that just because FSU or the police might have bungled the investigation does not mean that Winston is guilty. One has nothing to do with the other.



ADVERTISEMENT
Just as a sloppy investigation can free a guilty man, a sloppy investigation can also free an innocent one, or at least it should. Winston's critics should take note that the same Constitution that gives them the right to print their opinions as to Winston's guilt is the same Constitution that affords Winston the presumption of innocence.

Yet there is no presumption of innocence in the court of public opinion or in media reports. The opinions and stories last forever, especially in our social-media age.

Gone are the days of weathering the public-relations nightmare, when a story hits the news at 11 and goes away. Now, not only do the media have a permanent platform, so does everyone else. Someone is vindicated? Well, we all know that's not interesting and no one wants to read about that.

Winston has not done himself any favors with "crabgate" (he walked out of a Publix grocery store with $32 worth of crab legs) and cursing in public (he was suspended for the biggest game of the year for standing on a table and yelling a vulgar Internet meme). These crimes hardly warrant the negativity that has surrounded his name and the name of Florida State University.

Many people quickly forget that as a result of Winston's hard work on the field, for which he is not getting paid, he has almost singlehandedly provided a public university with millions of dollars in resources to assist in the higher education of thousands of young adults in our state. Not to mention an incredible influx of revenue to the Tallahassee economy. Good has come from Jameis Winston's choosing to play football at FSU; yet no one wants to acknowledge it.

Recently, Orlando Sentinel sportswriter Brian Schmitz's column was headlined: "Please Jameis: Go be famous in NFL." My response is: No, Brian. What have you done for this state besides whine about Jameis Winston?

Looks like Eligwe may have been dismissed due to a violation of team rules. Seems that translates to "smokes too much weed".

I'll never understand some of these kids....sigh. Our linebacker rotation was already pretty doggone thin...

I wish we could figure out how to translate how we play in the second half to our entire game. If we can do that...we will be very tough to best.

Hell, we are tough to beat now as it is...

They look like the 09 Gators, feel like they can just flip a switch and win. Against most teams they can. Against Bama, Oregon and a few others, that switch will be a lot harder to flip.

It bit UF against Bama.

I haven't watched much of your games, but in the other games where the opponent blew bigger leads in the second half did they play more conservatively in the second half trying to protect that lead or did most of them continue to play as they did in the first half?

As far as our game went, I of course wanted to win and thought we could, but I have to admit I was still thinking that we are a year away. As well as he played, Kaaya should be much better next year. You know, he was not an early entry in January. He first came on campus in June of this year. Of course we lose Dorsett on offense and quite possibly Duke, although he says it is Mama Dukes decision on whether he stays or goes. She wants him to finish his degree and he won't graduate until December.
