What if he stood on a table and maybe sung a Jay Z song instead? 99 problems, maybe? Would that have been different? How?

No, I don't think it would be any different, but it would also depend on which part of the song he's singing.

I acknowledged in my first post that there is the obvious difference between what Winston was investigated for and the fact Manziel has never been caught doing anything illegal. At the same time, what he has been found guilty of (stealing crab legs) and his antics at the student center are dumb, but fairly innocuous. I think it's worth noting that Manziel can repeatedly be an idiot with the spotlight on and still be marketable, and Winston is cast off as nothing more than an idiot.

And, ok, Ben Roethlisberger.

you mean the guy who was suspended 4 games?

Roethlisberger's reputation took a very big hit with that ordeal (which was very similar, and he never totally recovered from it from a PR standpoint), and he doesn't continuously do stupid things to get himself in the news.

All that proves is that your wife isn't very cool.

Look, if you want to be offended, be offended. Nobody can tell you or your sheltered wife what you can and can't be offended by. But, take a step back and see exactly what you're being so butthurt about. A college student said something vulgar. Stop the presses! How will society survive?
I think RubyClone deserves an apology from you

You get a 4 game suspension for dropping dirty anymore, I don't exactly call that a harsh penalty. Also, mind you, this is someone who was investigated for 2 sexual assaults, while Winston's only had one.

Also, doesn't look like Nike decided to pull the plug on Big Ben after even the second allegation...

I think it speaks for itself that we can't even post "**** her in the *****" on here without it getting bleeped out, let alone by a Heisman/National Championship winner in public who's already supposedly raped someone. It's offensive enough that CF won't let me post it on here.

But we're all just being butthurt.

except it wasn't this year, it was what 4 years ago? Had that happened now he'd have been suspended indefinitely and probably wouldn't play again this year.

That Jimbo Fisher, the media, and fans are racist and don't hold white players to the same standards that they do black players.

There's dislike among many Aggie fanatics as well...at least among the ones that I know. :)

How much of that stemmed from the whole "I can't wait to get out of College Station" bit, though? That was a pretty big slap in the face to A&M fans.

BIL & sister have hated his attitude since the git-go. Might have something to do with the fact that they go to the home games and live in CS, within easy walking distance of campus. Others took a little longer to grow to disliking him but that comment of his was probably the last straw.

To be fair, Cowgirl, Carver, Sara, and KCClone are the only cool girls in the world.

The rest should just be used for porn and reproduction.
