Jameis Winston suspended from baseball team after citation for shoplifting crab legs

By Brendan Sonnone and Iliana Limón RomeroOrlando Sentinel
2:21 p.m. EDT, April 30, 2014
TALLAHASSEE - Jameis Winston has been suspended from the FSU baseball team after he was cited Tuesday night for shoplifting crab legs from a Publix grocery store, the school announced Wednesday.
Leon County Sheriff's Office representatives said during a press conference they were dispatched to a Publix grocery store after a person left without paying for $32 worth of crab legs. The food may have also included crayfish. The person was identified as Winston. A deputy went to Winston's residence and reported Winston was cooperative, confirming he left Publix without paying for the food.
The sheriff's representatives reported Winston said he "forgot to pay." Publix and Winston agreed to a citation rather an arrest. Sheriff's office representatives stressed Winston was not arrested and instead cited, calling it a "pre-arrest diversion."

Re: [gatortalk] Jonathan Harrison Interview

I agree with Rob, the article doesn't particularly concern me. I think the the way it was written exaggerated the incidents as journalists tend to do to make a good story. One example was:

Harrison heard "fire this coach, fire that coach." In the stands, it got nasty.

Was it players or fans that said that? Also, some of Harrison's statements seem a little self serving, meant to show how he can persevere through tough times.

Re: [gatortalk] Jonathan Harrison Interview

I guess I'm not as concerned as everyone else. Two things, in particular strike me about this.

The first is something of a 'well, what would you expect?' reaction. I just can't be shocked that a team that fell apart on the field also fell apart off the field. We'll never know which way the causality flowed, but the two go together. I'm also not surprised that the locker room was rocky after the humiliating loss to GS. I'd be more concerned if it wasn't. There is a fine line between holding your teammates accountable and blaming them for a loss. When so many players played so poorly, it would be impossible not to have those lines blurred.

The second thing that occurred to me is that Harrison's opinion of his role in all this may not be completely objective. I remember the incident when he was ejected. He didn't 'accidentally touch' the ref. He jabbed him forcefully with his finger. What that tells me is that everything else he says may also be shaded by a bit of self-perception. How do we know what kind of leader Harrison really was? Anyone can tell someone not to do something, but some people have the ability to make people hear them, and others don't. Since I don't think any coach can completely control a whole squad of kids directly, I look at the hotel and partying incidents as a lack of senior leadership. If the freshmen ignore the seniors, then the seniors do not have the respect of the freshmen. That's not just about the coach.

Anyway, I have no idea whether CWM is capable of keeping a team under control or not, but I do know that the balance is delicate and this one season does not provide enough information to answer the question. I don't think I would have given Muschamp one more season if I were AD, but once Foley did, I was content to watch and see what happens. I still am. Since we are generally very good on defense, all we need is for Roper to improve our offense from abysmal to mediocre and we'll have a solid season. If he gets them to good, we could see 10 wins. It doesn't seem like all that outlandish a thing to hope for, so I am choosing to be optimistic until the team itself gives me reason not to be.

Fellow Gator Fans,

Here's a link to an interview with former Gator Jonathan Harrison. It will leave you shaking your head about what happened last season.

Maybe it's just me, but the article gave me a queasy feeling about next season.

From what Jonathan Harrison said, last year from the top down the program was completely out of control.

I'm not worried about fights between players, that happens from time to time, probably more so when the team is losing, but the partying, sneaking out of the team hotel, etc…leads me to believe the program was out of control.

The culture of the program is set at the top, which is Will Muschamp and maybe some new coaches will help change the culture, but the article left my confidence in Will Muschamp a little shaken..

Re: [gatortalk] Jonathan Harrison Interview

I don't know that you can glean a ton from interviews on the radio, but when I was driving up to Birmingham last Thursday, I listened to Steve Russell on WRUF while passing through their broadcast area. He had Mack Brown and Michael Taylor on the show. He had asked them (both Seniors) about their roles during the current period, where coaches can't interface with them as much. Both of them were talking about how this current group of players had made a concerted effort to participate in more bonding activities, and that they were all really becoming more of a band of brothers. While they never came out and said anything as pointedly as Harrison did, the undercurrent was that there wasn't a ton of unity this time last year. The other undercurrent was the very obvious happiness (at least on Mack Brown's part) to have a new OC. He seemed more than very sincere in his gushing praise of the new scheme.

Just throwing that out there for consideration.

Green Bay — The breaking point came on Nov. 23, 2013. Minutes after the unthinkable — a loss to Georgia Southern — Florida players gathered in the locker room.

Pads were still on. Tempers were flaring. Head coach Will Muschamp ordered a player to talk to the team. Anyone. So, being a fifth-year senior, center Jonotthan Harrison stepped into the middle of the mayhem.

And then one defensive lineman — Harrison won't use names — yanked him out and shoved a freshman linebacker to the center. The two shouted at each other with coaches grabbing Harrison and pulling him out of the locker room before punches were thrown.

"We were falling apart," Harrison said, "crumbling as a team."
Ah, yes, Florida Gators football.
Last season was hell on earth for this once-proud program. Florida limped to a humiliating 4-8 finish, regressing from powerhouse to laughingstock. Listen to Harrison detail the 2013 Gators and you can't help but think of David Bakhtiari's final season at Colorado.

Like Harrison, Bakhtiari tried to stop teammates from partying the night before games. Like Harrison, he was a captain. No depth of despair, no soul-searching speech to the masses helped.

Yet, maybe there's a power in losing. Not just any losing, rather the embarrassing, straight-to-Jay Leno variety. Losing this way can thicken the skin. As the Green Bay Packers starting left tackle, nothing fazed Bakhtiari. Bryan Bulaga tore his ACL, the 109th-overall pick stepped in, locked horns with the game's best pass rushers and now it's his job to lose.

We tend to glorify the "winners," the "gamers" this time of year. Well, losing has its virtues.
"I don't let small things affect me anymore," Harrison said. "I don't let small things faze me. I've learned to drown out the nonsense, the clutter. I've learned to accept things that only get me better and to completely ignore the negativity, the clutter that can't help me succeed in life. It's just made me a lot stronger."

So over the phone, the 6-foot-3, 304-pound Harrison is asked about "that incident" with another player.
Silence.
"Which one?" he asks. "Are you talking about the blocking incident?"
No, but that was rough, too. In the 26-20 loss to Georgia Southern, Harrison inexplicably blocked his own teammate, a lowlight that ran as the No. 1 "Not Top Ten" on Sportscenter for several weeks. It's hard keeping the misery straight.

There also was the game against Arkansas. Harrison cut a linebacker at the second level and that player, according to Harrison, used a slew of racial slurs. Immediately, Harrison went to an official to report the player, accidentally touched that official and was ejected.

The N-word was used in ways Harrison never imagined.
"Some things I've never even thought of," Harrison said. "It was like he went out of his way. The play was still going on and he was just hovering over me."

And all along, the losses mounted. Self-entitlement became contagious. Harrison paints a picture of complete chaos. In the locker room, he said players across position groups pointed fingers. The defensive linemen yelled at the offensive linemen for not blocking. Receivers blamed linebackers.

Harrison heard "fire this coach, fire that coach." In the stands, it got nasty.
From August to December, the state of affairs "just got worst."

"We had a lot of individuals on the team," Harrison said. "Having individuals on your team kind of kills your team. We had people who thought they were entitled because of the school that they went to....There was always someone to blame. No one wanted to take it on themselves."

In the moment, this gets maddening for the captains. Colorado went 1-11 in 2012. Bakhtiari remembers teammates herding to "Ladies Nights" on Thursdays. At Colorado, he said there was a "lack of performance, lack of preparation, lack of caring." Total dysfunction.

Same sad story in Gainesville.
Oh, Harrison tried. Speaking after practice, Harrison told underclassmen those hangovers will linger. Come game time, you're on fumes. Yet players kept on sneaking girls into the team hotel or sneaking out themselves.

"How serious can you take this game," Harrison said, "if that's what you're focused on 24-48 hours before the game?"
He told them to go to class — "academically ineligible" is a real thing. Domestic disputes are unacceptable. Bar fights have to stop. One bad decision "trickles down," he explained, whatever that bad decision is.

Being a captain on Florida State, on Alabama, on Oregon is one thing. Winning breeds happiness, harmony. Being a captain on a sinking ship is another.
In the NFL, Harrison will be at the vortex of on-field chaos — diagnosing defenses, running the no-huddle, making protection calls. A projected mid-to-late round pick, he says last fall prepared him. Really, all NFL general managers should hunt for the prospects who dug deep, the Bakhtiaris, the ones who endured.

The tape of a player who's trailing by 21 points is telling.
Digging deep matters...even when a freshman is disrespecting you in front of the entire team.

Harrison wanted to retaliate. Today, he says he "was about to jump down his throat — I was close."
He cooled off. He survived one of the worst seasons in Florida history.

Hey, losing helps sometimes.
"It's a real humbling experience, honestly," Harrison said. "It really forces you to kind of to re-center yourself, refocus yourself on the task at hand.

"Things are going to happen. Losses are going to happen. You're going to lose a play, no matter who you're going against. But you're ability to recover from that, bounce back, and have a short-term memory, makes you a great player."

Subject: [gatortalk] Jonathan Harrison Interview

Fellow Gator Fans,

Here's a link to an interview with former Gator Jonathan Harrison. It will leave you shaking your head about what happened last season.

Maybe it's just me, but the article gave me a queasy feeling about next season.

From what Jonathan Harrison said, last year from the top down the program was completely out of control.

I'm not worried about fights between players, that happens from time to time, probably more so when the team is losing, but the partying, sneaking out of the team hotel, etc…leads me to believe the program was out of control.

The culture of the program is set at the top, which is Will Muschamp and maybe some new coaches will help change the culture, but the article left my confidence in Will Muschamp a little shaken..

For some NFL prospects, losing has its benefits

Florida center Jonotthan Harrison couldn't stop the Gators' locker room from fracturing during a frustrating season last year.

Dunne: Packers Draft Needs – D-Linemen

Green Bay — The breaking point came on Nov. 23, 2013. Minutes after the unthinkable — a loss to Georgia Southern — Florida players gathered in the locker room.

Pads were still on. Tempers were flaring. Head coach Will Muschamp ordered a player to talk to the team. Anyone. So, being a fifth-year senior, center Jonotthan Harrison stepped into the middle of the mayhem.

And then one defensive lineman — Harrison won't use names — yanked him out and shoved a freshman linebacker to the center. The two shouted at each other with coaches grabbing Harrison and pulling him out of the locker room before punches were thrown.

"We were falling apart," Harrison said, "crumbling as a team."

Ah, yes, Florida Gators football.

Last season was hell on earth for this once-proud program. Florida limped to a humiliating 4-8 finish, regressing from powerhouse to laughingstock. Listen to Harrison detail the 2013 Gators and you can't help but think of David Bakhtiari's final season at Colorado.

Like Harrison, Bakhtiari tried to stop teammates from partying the night before games. Like Harrison, he was a captain. No depth of despair, no soul-searching speech to the masses helped.

Yet, maybe there's a power in losing. Not just any losing, rather the embarrassing, straight-to-Jay Leno variety. Losing this way can thicken the skin. As the Green Bay Packers starting left tackle, nothing fazed Bakhtiari. Bryan Bulaga tore his ACL, the 109th-overall pick stepped in, locked horns with the game's best pass rushers and now it's his job to lose.

We tend to glorify the "winners," the "gamers" this time of year. Well, losing has its virtues.

"I don't let small things affect me anymore," Harrison said. "I don't let small things faze me. I've learned to drown out the nonsense, the clutter. I've learned to accept things that only get me better and to completely ignore the negativity, the clutter that can't help me succeed in life. It's just made me a lot stronger."

So over the phone, the 6-foot-3, 304-pound Harrison is asked about "that incident" with another player.

Silence.

"Which one?" he asks. "Are you talking about the blocking incident?"

No, but that was rough, too. In the 26-20 loss to Georgia Southern, Harrison inexplicably blocked his own teammate, a lowlight that ran as the No. 1 "Not Top Ten" on Sportscenter for several weeks. It's hard keeping the misery straight.

There also was the game against Arkansas. Harrison cut a linebacker at the second level and that player, according to Harrison, used a slew of racial slurs. Immediately, Harrison went to an official to report the player, accidentally touched that official and was ejected.

The N-word was used in ways Harrison never imagined.

"Some things I've never even thought of," Harrison said. "It was like he went out of his way. The play was still going on and he was just hovering over me."

And all along, the losses mounted. Self-entitlement became contagious. Harrison paints a picture of complete chaos. In the locker room, he said players across position groups pointed fingers. The defensive linemen yelled at the offensive linemen for not blocking. Receivers blamed linebackers.

Harrison heard "fire this coach, fire that coach." In the stands, it got nasty.

From August to December, the state of affairs "just got worst."

"We had a lot of individuals on the team," Harrison said. "Having individuals on your team kind of kills your team. We had people who thought they were entitled because of the school that they went to....There was always someone to blame. No one wanted to take it on themselves."

In the moment, this gets maddening for the captains. Colorado went 1-11 in 2012. Bakhtiari remembers teammates herding to "Ladies Nights" on Thursdays. At Colorado, he said there was a "lack of performance, lack of preparation, lack of caring." Total dysfunction.

Same sad story in Gainesville.

Oh, Harrison tried. Speaking after practice, Harrison told underclassmen those hangovers will linger. Come game time, you're on fumes. Yet players kept on sneaking girls into the team hotel or sneaking out themselves.

"How serious can you take this game," Harrison said, "if that's what you're focused on 24-48 hours before the game?"

He told them to go to class — "academically ineligible" is a real thing. Domestic disputes are unacceptable. Bar fights have to stop. One bad decision "trickles down," he explained, whatever that bad decision is.

Being a captain on Florida State, on Alabama, on Oregon is one thing. Winning breeds happiness, harmony. Being a captain on a sinking ship is another.

In the NFL, Harrison will be at the vortex of on-field chaos — diagnosing defenses, running the no-huddle, making protection calls. A projected mid-to-late round pick, he says last fall prepared him. Really, all NFL general managers should hunt for the prospects who dug deep, the Bakhtiaris, the ones who endured.

The tape of a player who's trailing by 21 points is telling.

Digging deep matters...even when a freshman is disrespecting you in front of the entire team.

Harrison wanted to retaliate. Today, he says he "was about to jump down his throat — I was close."

He cooled off. He survived one of the worst seasons in Florida history.

Hey, losing helps sometimes.

"It's a real humbling experience, honestly," Harrison said. "It really forces you to kind of to re-center yourself, refocus yourself on the task at hand.

"Things are going to happen. Losses are going to happen. You're going to lose a play, no matter who you're going against. But you're ability to recover from that, bounce back, and have a short-term memory, makes you a great player."

Hmm… Muschamp had better get his coaching in order. If he doesn't, he'll be gone after this season.

I hope he has, I want to see success this fall. I don't care who the coach is, just bring back success.
