That's not "thug rapist crab legs" ... that's he has HORRIBLE judgement for keeping out of trouble off the field, and that will bleed over on the field. He struggles with the spotlight of an ACC team ... how do you think he'll do when he's getting multi-million dollar paychecks, rolling with an entourage, and has submarine alimony p***y lining up around the block?

Yes, hatred does cloud their judgment.

He's no worse than Ben Rothelsburg or Brett Farve when it comes to being a ***** hound. He was convicted of nothing. He was charged with nothing.

As far as the crab legs go, allowing ball players to "steal" food is nothing new and I've seen it at three other ACC schools. When it comes to the damn pellet guns - for some reason that's the rage these days.

Has he shown some immature behavior off the field - of course. How old is he 20?

I participated in some stupid stuff in college in my early 20's, but TMZ was not interested in me.

Disagree --

Everyone knew Vick couldn't read defenses and make plays in the pocket, yet the Falcons drafted him anyway.

Winston can read defenses and make throws in tight spots in the pocket. That'll translate to the NFL.

The big risk is taking that Oregon kid #1, unless Philly is going to ship a boatload of players to get him.

Quote:The Florida State Seminoles are 'Playing For Payton'

Here's a story to brighten your day. Payton Poulis is a young man with a condition similar to Cerebral Palsy, it affects his motor skills and limits his ability to speak and move freely.

A lifelong Seminoles fan, Poulin overcame great odds to graduate high school and was accepted to Florida State as a freshman this past year. After striking up a friendship with FSU WR Kenny Shaw in one of their classes, the Seminole football team invited Payton to become a regular fixture at practice -- a part of the team -- and he has been there, on the sidelines of the All Dunlap Practice fields, every day since.

Seminoles.com's Scott Kotick did a fantastic job on this piece, it's definitely worth watching.
