Not bad for a guy who puts Icy Hot on his body to motivate the players. Read More »

Jameis Florida State University quarterback Jamies Winston is entering the 2015 NFL Draft. Winston - whose 3rd-ranked FSU Seminoles lost their College Football Playoff semi-final in the Rose Bowl to Marcus Mariota and the Oregon Ducks on New Year's Day - is widely tipped to be the second overall selection in the 2015 NFL draft, behind Heisman Trophy winner Mariota.

Following the two amazing first games of the new College Football Playoffs — the 2015 Rose Bowl matchup between Oregon and Florida State University, and the 2015 Sugar Bowl slate of Ohio State versus Alabama — ESPN announced that the broadcasts of the two bowl games brought in record setting numbers, becoming the two highest ranking broadcasts in cable history. With two top NFL Draft picks facing off, Marcus Mariota's Oregon Ducks schooled Jameis Winston and FSU 59-20, before two legendary coaches went head-to-head as Urban Meyer's Ohio State Buckeyes beat Nick Saban's much-fancied Alabama Red Tide 42 to 35, college football proved inescapable on New Year's Day 2015 Read More »

Jameis Winston is currently undergoing a life-changing case, hoping his lawyer David Cornwell can help him remain unpunished, and then he can focus on the 2015 NFL draft. Winston is seen as one of the best QB in that class, but he's also widely considered as the most troubling NCAA star to ever look to enter the NFL. The Florida State University QB could find himself off the hook, and then he could be drafted by the Oakland Raiders, the Chicago Bears or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is he worth the trouble, and will the many allegations surrounding him be enough to hurt his draft stock? Read More »
