If he doesn't sign 2000 more

they'll have no fans, is that what you want Jints? He's doing it for the kids, just ask Jimbo.
some investigation  
MookGiants : 10/17/2014 12:23 am : link
FSU is doing, too. I guess it hasn't yet reached the stage where they call the authentication company to get some more information, I'm sure they'll get to it around mid january
Does he play this weekend?

“Jameis might have signed a lot of autographs, but when he is doing so in public, he’s not 100 percent focused. Someone might be chatting with him, he might be signing with different pens on different surfaces like on someone’s hand or shoulder. What’s out there being sold is just too good.”

absolutely. FSU doesn't give a shit, even if they have to vacate the wins later on, they know if he doesn't play they have zero shot, so they are just going to turn a blind eye and act like idiots and hope no solid evidence comes out that he got paid. They don't even have Maguire available if Winston doesn't play.
"investigation" will be complete after the season

He's a clown. Any NFL team willing to take him needs to get their heads examined.
this is getting out of control  
newmike2 : 10/17/2014 6:45 am : link
but they covered up rape so signing a few autos is no big deal, right?
Jameis  
Big Rick in FL : 10/17/2014 6:52 am : link
Is not signing 2000 for any one person. How they haven't suspended him is beyond me. I've met him on numerous occasions. If he signs one per person that's a surprise. It's a rule now so he should be suspended. It's a stupid rule though. A player should be allowed to sign his name for money. It happens far too regularly for the NCAA to do anything about.
Sorry  
Big Rick in FL : 10/17/2014 6:54 am : link
Jameis isn't signing 2000 for one person without getting paid for it.
Not an FSU fan and considering what else Jameis seems to have done...  
Dunedin81 : 10/17/2014 7:07 am : link
their covering up this is small potatoes. But this is the smart play for them. Everyone knows vacating wins, or even championships, means jack shit (unless that happens before the end of the season and costs them a bowl). You got the donor dollars, you hawked the merchandise, none of that will be given back.

The rape accusation is a much bigger deal and could have huge negative consequences for FSU. This, not likely.
I guess he doesn't have much time  
Bake54 : 10/17/2014 7:14 am : link
to go to class. He's too busy signing stuff. 2,000 pieces for 1 site? Wow. Just wow.
Of course on the Georgia message boards  
Defenderdawg : 10/17/2014 8:20 am : link
Those who prioritize winning wonder why UGA is even playing ball with the NCAA and not playing Gurley when the NCAA is on the defensive, without the cooperation of witnesses may not have anything and players like Cam Newton are cleared and Winston keeps on playing.
Hey  
dep026 : 10/17/2014 8:38 am : link
these investigations take time. Plus, you have to figure how much of a cut the NCAA is getting out of this. Plus, prime time game between two top 5 teams.

This investigation will finish, Ill guess, around...... February of 2025.

It's a ridiculous rule

established by an illegal cartel. Never lose sight of the gross exploitation of star athletes by colleges. I'm not going to call a kid a scumbag for tying to make a few dollars off his own name.

The guy is definitely a scumbag, and its not because he sold autographs.

And the rule being stupid is irrelevant. Its a poor display of character to do this knowing the rules that are in place, regardless of how stupid they may be. He was also 6 month away from becoming a millionaire and now there's a realistic chance he slips out of the 1st round.
Agree with Mook  
JonC : 10/17/2014 10:02 am : link
FSU will stall and play dumb to get through this season. But, after this season I doubt they want him back as the investigations begin to produce results, the kid's a massive dumbass and requires constant damage control.

I'd call him scumbag for being accused as a rapist and everything being conveniently handled so there is no way he could be prosecuted or convicted, almost certainly being directly involved in a group of FSU players who shot people with pellet guns, and for being a thief. The kid is a spoiled brat that is out of touch with reality.

The sad thing is the autographs might be the thing that sinks him (doubtful as it is), not all the other deplorable shit this kid has been accused of.

From the crab legs to the other hoopla, foolish choices that will cost him a payday during the draft as his stock keeps falling. Well unless Oakland takes him :)

the amount of nutjobs there are in the country, and how many of them are also nutjobs when it comes to sports allegiances, it wouldn't surprise me to see a fan forge a star player's autograph to get him suspended for a big upcoming game or in general. Hell, we had an Alabama fan poison Toomer's Corner. Nothing would surprise me.
lol

did anyone hear Jimbo on Mike and Mike this morning?

He said that we have to remember that Jameis plays baseball, too, and that he would sign for 90 minutes before each baseball game and 90 minutes after.

Jimbo can't be this dumb. How has someone not gotten in his ear at this point and told him to just no comment all of the autograph questions. Everyone knows he got paid. Just say no comment to all of the questions .

It is beyond stupid for him to be doing this. He has nothing to gain by doing this. Reporters should just hammer him with questions on every incident. Get a great sound clip loop.

"he was hunting squirrels with the pellet gun"
"the stolen items were assumed to be free, we all make mistakes"
"he was not charged for rape, therefore he didn't commit a crime"
"the 2000 almost identical autographs are easily done since Jameis is always signing things"

and so forth.
Jimbo is an idiot  
Big Rick in FL : 10/17/2014 12:17 pm : link
Jameis wouldn't even sign for 9 minutes before and after the baseball games. I was at all 3 games against USF and 1 against the Yankees. He signed twice throughout those 4 games. If he signed for 15 minutes I'd be shocked.

The sad thing is that he always has an officer with him and still signed over 2000 autographs for money. They don't give a fuck about it.
And when he did  
Big Rick in FL : 10/17/2014 12:23 pm : link
Sign he wasn't really signing helmets, jerseys or footballs. He signed a few but mostly signed hats, programs and paper.

Met Jordan Lynch at the East-West Shrine game last year. Asked him about the Heisman guys. He said Tre Mason was the coolest guy there, Manziel is exactly the same in person as you see on TV. He said these exact words about Jameis. "He is an immature little baby who gets whatever he wants from FSU. If he didn't get what he wanted he would bitch and moan until he did"

I was shocked at Lynch saying that. Most of the time when asked about another player they give the PC answer and move on.
This guy must never sleep

Signing thousands of autographs, stealing food, unwanted sexual advances - you really have to admire his hustle.
