Bo Jackson washes hands of Jameis Winston

[JonLP24]

Bo knows.

But Jameis Winston apparently doesn't care

The fraternity of Heisman Trophy winners is known to be a close-knit group, one that stays in close touch in many cases, and has even made itself enough of a brand to be the subject of a national advertising campaign. But former Heisman winner Bo Jackson left little doubt that a rift has developed between himself and Winston, the Florida State quarterback who won the award last year. Jackson suggested on The Jim Rome Show Tuesday that Winston blew off the guidance Jackson tried to give him earlier this year.

And the former two-sport star with the Los Angeles Raiders and Kansas City Royals clearly isn't happy about it.

"I really don't know who is giving this young man guidance. I have communicated with him and I just talked to him like I was his dad. The things that you need to do. And this was before the incident where he was (suspended) from the baseball team (for stealing crab legs)," Jackson said. "I'm the type of person, I will go out of my way to help anybody. Normally, I don't like giving people advice if I haven't been down that road myself. But if I give you advice on something that I know more about than you by just falling out of bed in the morning, if you can't take that advice and learn from it, then I've got nothing else to do with the situation. You're on your own."

Pressed about exactly what sort of guidance he gave the Seminoles' third-year sophomore, Jackson wouldn't divulge it, saying it was between he and Winston. But whatever it was, it wasn't delivered gently.

"If I told you what I told him, it'll probably singe the hairs in your ears," said Jackson.

1. Bo Knows

and wants nothing more to do with the immature punk.

2. How Did He Approach Jameis Winston?

Considering Bo Jackson is quoted as saying "If I told you what I told him, it'll probably singe the hairs in your ears" it seems he approached Jameis Winston in a harsh possibly negative way. I understand some believe you can speak to males in harsher manner than females, maybe Jackson should have taken a softer, more positive approach. Winston is a young man around the age of 19-21, who is not Jackson's son. Maybe he (Winston) was not interested in being berated by a guy he did not know. Maybe Jackson should have started slow by asking Winston how his life was going.

3. There was a banner on ESPN2 this a.m....900 effing autographed merchandise

is out there...900...how is that possible? Even FSU is forced to investigate this time.

5. 900 what -- pieces that he signed??? That can't be right

And it isn't...It's now TWO THOUSAND pieces that he signed, according to an authentication service!

But exactly what is he being accused of -- signing the items, or being paid to sign the items?

6. hmmmm....

That's a lot of signed right after each game...think of the number of people lined up and he graciously signs free of charge....swell guy

4. Either he knows he's too valuable to be held accountable for anything he does

or he has no conscience:

(Nov. 2012): ...Detained by police at gunpoint, and investigated for damage at apartment complex from BB gun fight.

(Dec. 2013): Winston was not charged with sexual assault after being under investigation in a case from Dec. 7, 2012...Investigation reveals that FSU and Tallahassee police hid sexual assault allegations.

(April 2014): Cited for shoplifting crab legs from a grocery store.

(Sept. 2014): Suspended for shouting vulgar remark in FSU's student union.

(Oct. 2014): Florida State investigating if Winston accepted money for autographs.

Making him a candidate for my "Next Aaron Hernandez" award.
