- May we have seen the last of Jameis Winston? Florida State University announced tonight that he is now banned for the entire contest tomorrow night -- tomorrow's feature prime-time contest between the defending champs and Clemson. The investigation, continuing, into his inappropriate remark has seen his suspension doubled.
- Sounds like it's not just the fans at Rutgers who are "classless" against Pedophile State. The athletic director of the university made an off-color joke about the whole affair last fall.
- Rex Chapman going beyond shoplifting and into grand theft: $14,000 worth of it.
- There was much criticism when the UFC reinstated Wanderlai Silva -- domestic abuser and all -- even with an evaded drug test that sends him in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission next week. His wife posted two YouTube videos -- one of him with a gun and the other of him high on cocaine. On the basis of that, he's gone again.
- Another UFC fighter, another MMA domestic violence, another person out: Anthony Johnson, as evidence has been raised of incidents in at least 2009 and 2012.
- Across the barrier into boxing: Floyd Mayweather, in trouble with the NSAC? Not as a boxer, though -- his status as a promoter and some of the practices out of his gym, revealed in a preview series (I believe on HBO) for the second Maidana fight. Mayweather has a situation called "Dog House Rules" - "The rules are you fight until someone quits." The NSAC wants to know how it was allowed for a 31-minute "round" under those conditions... (The marijuana Mayweather was smoking nearby doesn't help matters.)
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
