To All Fields: Could Winston be a smokescreen?

March 7, 2015 College Sports in Florida

Saturday, 1:07 p.m. At One Buc Place… Could it be smoke? Could it be misdirection? Or is Jameis, and full speed ahead? As a sportswriter, I have a face that is used to being lied into. I know a wild-goose chase. I can tell bluster from blarney. So it has to be asked. Are the […]
