Maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist, but I believe problem players respond best to negative reinforcement from their most immediate family—their teammates.

A loss would have been the worst thing, because if would have divided the team. I'm glad it worked the way it did, we basically lost the game without losing, if that makes sense. Then if Jameis doesn't get it sitting out a game and almost costing his team a game he never will.

No way does a loss help FSU. They play a fairly crappy schedule. Even if they only lost 1 game it might not be good enough to make it into the top-4 playoff for the national title. FSU simply cannot afford dropping a game.

I saw Florida Georgia Line sing a few bars of a song yesterday but I don't know the name of the song. I believe it was during the Florida/Alabama game. Am I wrong about that?

Deadspin said they showed Winston 48 times last night for a total of 8 minutes screen time. http://deadspin.com/espn-showed-jame...fsu-1637328909

I don't think he was talking about on the field.

It was too much for a guy that was suspended.

Yeah, you might be right. Personally, I think he's a sociopath, with no sense of empathy toward others and no regard for anything but his own gratification. His next problem may cost FSU more than a game.

See with comments like this you force me to defend him. Sociopath come on bro, that's a bit much at this stage of the game. So far from what we know he is a immature Knucklehead that has made some dumb decisions off the field.

Including a still on going rape accusation which is why he was suspended for his comments.

In other news Watson receives ACC rookie of the week. Damn shame our coaches shelved him the first 2 weeks or he would have won those too. I'm feeling a little better today than I was Saturday night and I no longer want to fire everyone. In two years I think CU will gave a championship level team. I think hanging 70 on UNC this Saturday will calm other crazies like me down as well.

So that makes him a psychopath? In my book it makes him a damn idiot. You guys had a great team last year.

he said sociopath, not psychopath. bit of a difference there.

and winning was the best thing fsu could have done. doing that without winston should.....SHOULD.....show him that the team doesn't need him to win. of course with his attitude he may not even understand what it means.

ask Joe Namath about that. Coach Bryant suspended him for 2 games at the end of the '63 season, the final regular season game and the bowl game. and ALABAMA won both of them without him.

You don't have to defend him. I've known a couple of sociopaths, and Winston's behavior matches up nicely. These were people whose behavior had also been excused by others as simply being immature knuckleheads.

Look it up and you'll probably be surprised.

The media looked so disappointed today, they wanted the team to turn on him. That definitely would have happen.

[emac213]

To be honest I'm tried of talking about Jameis. I'm happy for FSU and the players who go to class and stay out of trouble, that was a big win for them.

CJ Spiller looking good.
