Over the last few years, Jimbo Fisher's version of the Florida State Seminoles has repeatedly come under the scrutinizing eye of the national press's moral compass (Yes, that was a joke).
Full disclosure, I have been rooting for the Seminoles since I was a child. That said, there has been some cause for scrutiny. A sexual assault accusation. An assault accusation. Public mischief. All of these things were handled in the public eye and many have stated publicly and loudly that they believe that the FSU program has sold its soul.
We will ignore the face that suddenly ESPN is convinced that FSU is committing more transgressions than any other program. I say suddenly because how much have your heard out of the SEC, which was in the spotlight several times over the past few years. Suddenly, they are all running squeaky clean programs. Admittedly, this does not remove any guilt from FSU, but it does explain the magnifying glass that has been put upon them. Simply put, the network has a financial interest in the success of the conference that they have gotten into bed with and hold forth as the flagship for the college football. However, I have no proof of transgressions as my other job prevents me from traveling to the south and investigating, so I will get back on task.

Johnny Manziel’s Family Working To Trademark Johnny Football
The legend that is Johnny Manziel continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
Manziels meteoric rise from 3 star recruit, to potential Heisman finalist, is close to out doing that of the great Tim Tebow in my opinion.
Manziel did what some felt couldn’t be done, by driving the Alabama defense crazy, and giving them fits.
ESPN is reporting that the Manziel family in concert with Texas A&M is aware of the growing star their son has become, and has taken steps to have his now famous nickname “Johnny Football,” trademarked.
The Manziel family jumped to this position, after an organization called Kenneth R. Reynolds Family Investments, filed for the “Johnny Football” trademark.
