Let’s cut to the chase. On Tuesday April 29th, 2-sport athlete, Jameis Winston of Florida State University, was caught stealing $32 worth of crab legs and crawfish from a Florida supermarket. For the charges to be dropped, he has to comply to the civil suite he was issued and complete at least 20 hours of community service. I’M PERFECTLY OKAY WITH HIM STEALING THE CRAB (AND CRAWFISH).

Coming … Continued

By Jeremy Blumberg The bottom five… it’s a long way to the top. 5. Kicking Off New Rules: One of the rules implanted into the NFL at the owner’s meetings was that the Kickoff will now start from the 35 yard line. The whole point of this rule was to eliminate wedge blocking to reduce the number of injuries. But if that is the case, why is wedge blocking still allowed? Last year, a rule was added stating that no more than 3 players could be placed to form a wedge, in an effort to prevent injuries. If the … Continued
