Jameis Won’t Be Charged

Posted on Written by

ESPN is reporting that FSU all-everything Heisman candidate super-frosh quarterback Jameis Winston will not be charged with rape for an alleged sexual assault that allegedly occurred an alleged approximate year ago.

I wonder how much money changed hands.

Call me a cynic, but this thing has big bucks written between the lines. I’m not saying that the girl was looking for a payoff. Either Winston is guilty or he isn’t, but this one will never see a courtroom. If he did it and somehow is not being charged, it is a travesty of justice. If he didn’t (i.e., it was consensual, as he said) and the alleged victim was shaking him down, then he learned a lesson about where he puts his dick from now one.

In any case, this paves the way for Winston to complete the season, win the SSMNC, and get his Heisman, not necessarily in that order.

Scott Pleads Not Guilty

Posted on Written by

As expected, Nittany Lion (or ex-Nittany Lion, as the case may be) Austin Scott pleaded not guilty to rape charges at today hearing. The judge tossed out two felony charges of aggravated indecent assault (sometimes known as assault with a friendly weapon), but upheld the several misdemeanor charges against Scott. Scott and his attorney claim that while Scott admits to having sex with the alleged victim, the sex was consensual.

Scott Charged with Rape

Posted on Written by

After a couple of weeks of speculation, the Patriot-News is reporting what we were all thinking here. While the impact to the team’s on-field performance might not be significant, the impact to the program and its head coach sure as hell is. Scott and his attorney intend to prove that Scott and his alleged victim had consensual sex. He also faces misdemeanor charges of simple assault and indecent assault. Scott is still listed as #3 running back for Saturday’s Wisconsin game.

Most of the details available now come from an AP report, but here are some other places to look:

  • Centre Daily Times report is here.
  • ESPN.com report is here.
  • Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report is here.
  • Pittsburgh Tribune-Review here.

The Saturday morning newspapers should have more details.

I don’t want to get carried away rushing to judgment. ????? ??? ???? In my mind, whether or not the rape charge sticks is immaterial—Scott has already lost his job and if he even had a glimmer of hope about playing in the NFL, he can now forget it. Being out drinking and screwing around at 4 AM during football season as a starter and a senior “leader” when his team had just lost two crucial conference games is enough to get him kicked off the team. 1xbet casino And for those of you who would blame Scott’s transgressions on the coaches: ? — get a life! ??? ???? ?? ??????
