Hubris Is An Amazing Emotion: Just Ask FSU's Football Team- Now It's Autographs...??? But, You Knew That Already...

((HT: Warchant.com/ESPN.com, Rovell))

Just ask Jimbo Fisher- especially when he slaps the media in his weekly press conference


Half-truths and "the facts are the facts..."
"Taint them toward their side..."

"There is no victim because there was no crime."

It's all our fault...
And it will continue to be...

Of course...

But, also, Florida State is now investigating the possibility that JSA (James Spence Authentication) may have Winston's John Hancock on memorabilia just they do with UGA's Todd Gurley. Gurley's JSA case is currently under investigation and Winston may not be far behind.

But you already knew that...

Saturday morning, here at OSG Sports, we told you about:

1) The RacingToARedLight.com search chasing Winston down the JSA rabbit hole and,
2) Brother Phil's subsequent search seeing that Winston's autograph was attached to documents in the same queue as Gurley (pictured at right)

From the Rovell story... here's the numbers...

JSA authenticates items as it receives them and attaches the serial numbers in sequential order. JSA authenticated 76 of the exact same Florida State logo footballs in order with serial numbers J65886 through J65962 and 70 of the exact same signed mini helmets in order with serial numbers J66829 through J66896. The company also authenticated 53 jerseys in a row (J66947 through J67001), 38 11-by-14 photos (J66026 through J66064), 18 of the exact same footballs (J66919 through J66936) and 11 signed Rawlings baseballs (J66898 through J66911).

According to ESPN, Fisher asked Winston if he signed autographs for money at the Syracuse game this past weekend. Winston told Fisher that he did not, but the HQ can see right through the semantics of that answer.

Darren Rovell discusses...


Good to see everyone catching up in all of this...

Lost Letterman did make an excellent point this afternoon...

Jameis Winston could be the Al Capone of the NCAA if this pace keeps up...

Hmmm....Did Jameis Winston Do Same Thing Todd Gurley Did?

((ht: racingtoaredlight.com))

With all the hubbub over University of Georgia running back Todd Gurley's suspension over possibly getting paid to autograph memorabilia, someone decided to look and see if anyone else's name might show up on the same EBay website.

And lo and behold someone did.

We can't take credit for doing the original search, the Website Racing to a Red Light did it first.

Read their story RIGHT HERE

But after reading their story, we decided to check it out our own selves.

And not surprisingly, guess who's name shows up in the same authenticated NCAA memorabilia page next to Gurley.

None other than the Famous one himself, FSU Quarterback Jameis Winston...

((Note--This is only a partial list on the screen grab to the right))

The page itself is RIGHT HERE

Yes, there are 7 signed Gurley items on the page, ranging from $49 to $246. And the other 5 items on the page have Mr. Winston's name attached.

Mind you...this may be perfectly legitimate. Nothing here says overtly that Winston was paid to sign anything. Nor does it say Gurley was paid either.

But the items have been authenticated by the same service, Spenceloa.com that was used to authenticate the Gurley items.

If in fact, this is what incriminates Gurley with the NCAA and is the cause of his being suspended the rest of the season, since the video only alleges to show him signing but not being paid, then should the same thing apply to Winston?

We are just raising the question. One that won't be answered now, but probably needs to be asked sooner rather than later...

Decide for yourselves...

In the meantime, check out this story done by our friends at 11Alive TV which asks the question--Could the man named as the person who paid Gurley be sued by Georgia?

Good question:
