Jameis Winston Spotted In Winn Dixie Seafood Section, Chaperone With Him
Sometimes you just can’t live a story down. No matter how hard you try, or how successful you are, your name will always be associated with an ill-fated transgression.
For Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, the moral lapse that resonates with most college football fans is the time he unnecessarily stole crab legs from a Publix supermarket. One would think that after winning a national title and the Heisman trophy, all you’d have to do is ask if you were a little short on cash, especially in the town you play in. But as we all know, Jameis likely didn’t think of that.
No matter how many games or national championships he wins, how many touchdowns he passes or rushes for, or how many other stupid things he does, there’s no doubt the seafood story will always take the (crab)cake when Jameis is the topic of conversation. There will forever be jokes to be had, and College Gameday signs to be made, wholly at the expense of Winston’s unquenchable affinity for crab legs.
Case in point, this tweet from last night:
Sooo I was in Winn Dixie and seen Jameis Winston… Getting crab legs, guess he had to have a chaperone this time pic.twitter.com/y6LD8KZ8an

I can’t even make it funnier than it already is, no matter how I try to spin it.
Whether that truly is an FSU team official by his side or not, who knows? It doesn’t matter, though, because the execution here is hilarious. The fact that Jameis is staring right into the guy’s cell phone camera, likely knowing he was about to become the butt of a joke, only makes it ten times better.
But did he know that it would be retweeted over 1,000 times? Probably not, but it only speaks to how much “people don’t forget!” That was a Superbad reference.
Obviously not wanting to cause any Twitter beef, and seemingly an FSU student himself according to his bio, the tweeter at hand offered his condolences to Jameis an hour or so after the picture started taking off and making the rounds.
Sorry Jameis. I had too do it. I was in need of a laugh and I knew Twitter would love it.

Having a chaperone with him at all times wouldn’t be a bad idea either
11 years ago at 4:08 pmI’m sure that guy was actually there to read the food labels for him.
11 years ago at 4:32 pmI don’t mean to shit on your parade and I’ll lace up the shoes right now, but he’s not a stupid kid in the sense of school. He had a 4.0 coming out of college. He’s from buttfuck Alabama and that’s why he talks like a black stone cold Steve Austin
11 years ago at 5:46 pmHighschool* fuck me
11 years ago at 5:51 pmI could guarantee you he didn’t have a 4.0 coming out of HS, even if he had shit classes.
11 years ago at 9:23 pmAgreed. I bet the farm he didn’t.
11 years ago at 7:54 amNah he’s the other member of the read-op Jameis runs with the crab legs against the supermarket employee defense.
11 years ago at 6:28 pmBeing a former Winn Dixie cashier, I can honestly say that Jameis is what would be considered an “average shopper”
11 years ago at 4:33 pmA heisman trophy winning qb and national champion is an average shopper at Winn Dixie? Damn it must be hard to turn a profit that’s a pretty small demographic
11 years ago at 7:59 pmJameis chaperone pledge
11 years ago at 5:18 pmIf we’re being honest, it’s likely advisable for Jameis to submit any proposed action to an “independent” 13-person committee who can vote based on purely subjective criterion and issue a ruling on whether he can proceed.
TL;DR: the selection committee is a joke.
11 years ago at 7:18 pmhttp://www.jabooloses.com he has a website dedicated to his fuck ups.
11 years ago at 8:08 pmI wonder if Jaboo would have shit the bed again if the chaperone wasn’t with him and caught the guy taking a pic of him looking at the crab legs
