We knew Jameis Winston wouldn't play against Clemson, and that Jameis Winston would be on the sidelines against Clemson even though he wouldn't play. But we didn't foresee this weirdness. First, Jameis took the field wearing pads:
Suspended Jameis Winston wore full pads during warmup due to ‘miscommunication’
We knew the reigning Heisman winner wouldn’t play tonight, but he still dressed like he would. Until his coach told him to change. (We’ve updated with Jimbo Fisher’s explanation.)


Then, Jameis had a chat with Jimbo Fisher:
And let's just say the conversation between jameis and jimbo was less than jovial. The sideshow circus continues. Let's hope team can focus

Update: The official explanation:
Jimbo takes blame for Winston wearing pads/uniform. Says late night suspension caused miscommuncation with locker room/equip staff.
— TomahawkNation.com (@TomahawkNation) September 22, 2014 Fisher says Winston thought he'd be dressed out while on sideline b/c pads/uni were placed in his locker. (This is what we said SATURDAY)

Thanks. (Vine of Jimbo Fisher saying "my fault" to Jameis) RT @EmoryParker: Jimbo "my fault" to Jameis https://t.co/Ym09C4ZoFa
