I call bullchit.

 

a bookie, showing proof he is a bookie, to welch on a bet ?

 

the bookie would be dumber than Winston.

winston is actually brilliant. Who else would think of stealing soda at BK in those little ketchup cups?!

This is going to turn out to be either a complete hoax or the kind of story that sucks the oxygen out of everything. Don't really see a middle ground here. That said, if this is true this guy could go down as one of the stupidest people ever to set foot on a football field.

 

yea - its either the standard issue "we dont like the guy so we are creating drama" that happens pretty often in big time CFB, or its the end of his career. there really isnt any other outcome.

 

as its not just an NCAA violation but a criminal, there are lots of ways to prove it potentially

I don't know much about Winston. I don't claim to know details of his alleged transgressions. What I do know about is how the world works. Whether he is guilty or innocent there is most definitely someone out to get him.

But are the feds going to take this serious enough to even look? I know the FBI has a huge vice program that monitors the sports world but the is not an easy can to open.

Anyone else I would think this is a bull **** story. He really could be that dumb.

 

That was my thought as well when I read this

It's not. But they will probably look into it. In the gambling world, point shaving is as bad as it gets.

I think they will look because there is some sort of hit out on Winston. i don't claim to know why, but you simply cannot find defenders for him in the media or anywhere else. Signing autographs and stealing crab legs and he is Charles Manson? Meanwhile the Cowboy dude gets laughs and an underwear endorsement deal. Something is up.

a heisman QB shaving points will get enough media attention that they will have to poke around a little. especially if journalists come up with anything of note.

 

that said, this could be no more than last years report of tahj boyd being $80k in debt and throwing games though.

That is sadly correct

TMZ is the most credible source of entertainment news. Off-field/court,etc. drama = entertainment news.

Wouldnt shock me. Some people are just natural criminals(see Marshawn Lynch). Winston cant seem to help himself. Someone will take a chance. Hell fail miserably and be out of the league within three years and be in jail on a robbery conviction shortly thereafter.
