Where Is The Outrage?
April 1st, 2015
Free pass.
So recently it was learned the No. 2 quarterback in this month’s NFL draft, Marcus Mariota, decided he won’t be part of the NFL spectacle in Chicago, opening night of the draft on April 30.
So far, Joe has heard nary a discouraging word about Mariota’s decision.
Look, the Bucs still may take Mariota No. 1 overall. Who is to say the Bucs don’t get spooked about Jameis Winston if a neighbor claims they thought they saw a stripper pole in Winston’s living room from the sidewalk?
This non-reaction is puzzling to Joe’s good friend Justin Pawlowski, “The Commish” of Scout.com.
Did I miss the backlash Marcus Mariota received for saying he won’t be attending the draft in Chicago?
— Justin Pawlowski (@CommishOnline) April 1, 2015
Yes, it’s interesting that a lot of folks mocked Winston for staying home with his family, or just simply piled on because they hate the kid for some reason. Mariota? Oh, he’s a nice young boy. He should be allowed to do what he wishes even though he, too, could be the No. 1 overall pick.
That scent Joe smells isn’t only what seems to be a double-standard.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:32 pm
I wouldn’t want to shake the Devils I mean Roger Goodell’s hand either.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:38 pm
This is like one of those You go first to get crap and then I’ll follow up when the coast is clear.
But the same outlets that bash JW DID NOT update their stories that JW grandma? Grandpa? is diabetic and can’t travel, so he rather spend it with his family.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:40 pm
Where’s the outrage amongst your commenters Joe.? That’s what I want to know. There were people in here calling Winston every name in the book for saying he wanted to stay home for the draft.
It’s great though that they’ve been silent about Mariota doing the same thing, because it proves the point that I’ve been making for weeks. These FOOLS that come in here will complain and nitpick about ANY and I mean ANYTHING Winston does or says. He could say hi to someone, and some idiot would be in here saying he said it the wrong way.
If the word FOOL is too harsh for ya, then stop acting like one. Some of you people should go back inot the archives and read some of your venom that you spit at this kid and shake your head at how foolish you looked.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:42 pm
Tell em Joe. A lot of people speak out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to the 2 QBs.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:44 pm
Another negative article on Mariota. As expected.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:44 pm
double standard
April 1st, 2015 at 1:45 pm
Outraged, simply outraged…..how dare he?
lol
April 1st, 2015 at 1:45 pm
I wonder if the big idiot error dog will rip him like he did Jameis for not attending the draft. Oh I forgot He loves him now that it is clear he will be the pick. Oh yeah I forgot none of the last 2 months was really him saying that he prefers Mariota I was just hearing what I wanted to hear. That guy is so full of it.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:47 pm
Media playing favorites. Nothing to see here. Kinda like when the Rays are kicking @ss, bspn will then bring up stadium bull spit and how we have no fans to make people forget that we’re better than their precious red sux. Van pelt can suck it. I’d love to get in his face.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:49 pm
Jameis probably already knew that Marcus would stay home for the draft, so he wanted to come out and say it first. Dude is such a immature troll.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:50 pm
There is outrage. Chicago paid to have the draft there an now the top 2 QBs possibly 1 and 2 overall picks in the draft aren’t even going. Who else will follow? I think this little project of having a city buy the draft is looking to be a fail. Won’t know though until after the final dollar figure.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:50 pm
I think they’re both doing their teams a disservice by not being there. Represent bitches. I was never outraged by Winston’s decision but I don’t agree with it.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:52 pm
Where Joe, oh where are ALL the HYPOCRITES? I listened to you & Big Dog yesterday, and your (hypocrite) first caller was a racist bastard! Jameis might have given these idiots ammunition, but when you told the story of your daughter he was stumped! He said she was only 9 for reasoning but any honest person knew what he would’ve said over a few Budlights. If Jameis comes here and performs like he did in college, these hypocritical people will stand cheering and claiming their “longtime” support of him. That is “what” the front office people @ One Buc Place know. Sapp smoked the “whacky Tabaccy”, won Superbowl & Hall of Fame, Brooks took shoes (as was your point yesterday) won the SUPERBOWL and Hall of Fame. So if the trend is correct we will have at least one Superbowl with Jameis under center. And you hypocrites can die a slow death!

April 1st, 2015 at 1:53 pm
Slightly different scenario also since Winston is supposed to be the #1 overall. If mariota doesn’t go #1 it wont be a surprise, if Winston doesn’t go #1 it’ll be an upset and he probably wouldn’t want to be seen sulking in the green room.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:54 pm
I was not pleased with Winston’s decision to skip the draft until I heard him say that it was because his grandmother was too ill to travel…then I did not have a problem with it…I am about as anti-Winston as you can get….but if he is telling the truth I do not have a problem with him staying home….Mariota should be getting grief also unless he has a legit reason….
April 1st, 2015 at 1:54 pm
@supersam
It’s actually worse than that.. Jameis actually procured a flux capacitor, went back to 1945 and started his grandmother on a high-sugar diet so he could use her as cover for his flawless scheme.
April 1st, 2015 at 1:55 pm
It’s not just the outrage….where’s the speculation that Mariota is lying just like there was speculation that Winston was lying? Hell, a certain radio host yesterday said that Winston was lying about his grandmother.
Goodell must’ve told him to stay away…yea that’s it
No wait…he must be holding out because he wants to get paid to show up. That just HAS to be it.
Oh oh oh, I know…he’s strong arming the Bucs into assuring him that he’s the pick. There it is…that has to be the one.
No hold on…he must just be a coward. Scared to get booed. There it is…that’s the one I’m going to go with
April 1st, 2015 at 1:56 pm
well said 87 likes free jerseys. I can’t understand the hatred for this kid. The double standard is ridiculous.

WOW!! Just WOW! Never in the history of the draft has a “potential” number one pick stayed home! I think he knows hes gonna fall and fall hard in this draft, save yourself the embarrassment Winston, stay home. This is a bad sign for the Winston gang.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:00 pm
What is this BS about his Jameis’ grandmother having type 2 diabetes and not being able to travel? That is the most ridiculous statement Ive heard in a while….
And I think in this case, I can weigh in. I was a paramedic for 7 years…
If she cant travel because shes too old and frail, thats one thing, but diabetes? really?
April 1st, 2015 at 2:02 pm
I’ll say the same thing I said with Winston…I’m a bit disappointed, but not outraged. The draft is so much fun for the fans, and when the top prospects don’t attend, I think it loses something. I understand the reasons behind staying home and being with family, but as a fan, I would rather see them on stage with the commissioner. Doesn’t change my opinion of the player, however! I still hope Mariota is the Bucs choice whether he is there in Chicago or not 🙂
April 1st, 2015 at 2:04 pm
Ohhhh Bonzaiiiiiii
I remember you saying this was a red flag for Winston….
So is this a red flag in your book for Mariota as well?
April 1st, 2015 at 2:04 pm
Almost like all the BS said about Mariota and his pro day and then the opposite reaction for Winston. Don’t act like everyone is against Winston. haha
April 1st, 2015 at 2:05 pm
Jameis could walk on water and these jokers would criticize him for not being able to swim…the hate is palpable

If the Bucs choose Winston and he’s not there to take the stage and put on the hat and take the Jersey and hold it up proudly that would be egg on the Bucs face and the Glazers faces. It would be a total embarrassment!
White Tiger Says:
March 16th, 2015 at 1:31 pm
Hmm…A QB who LOVES the microphone…suddenly doesn’t want to attend the place where everyone asserts he could be the toast of the town?

March 16th, 2015 at 1:52 pm
@Bonzai, I wouldn’t waste anymore energy on trying to explain to couch how Winston not being at the draft if they pick him at #1 would be bad for the team and ownership. It’s really a waste of time to attempt to open the mind of a close minded child.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:06 pm
Idiot, listen to the entire interview. He said the first thing he bought was a chair lift so his grandmother could get up and down the stairs in her house. Does that sound like someone that can travel to you?

the only thing that will be missed is the 30 seconds that they show them on the cell phone with coach or GM, then walking up on the stage with the team hat, shake or hug Roger, then thats it. The show will continue with or without them.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:08 pm
The NFL should not allow this to happen. They pump up the draft every year and now first year in a new city other than NY and the top picks in the draft are not representing. There will be more to follow in years to come if this happens. Just giving fans less reason to tune into the draft.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:08 pm
I’m curious if the Mariota Mob has already formed?
(Still don’t understand why we have a MGM. Only player that should have a mob is a franchise player)

A lot of you seem to really enjoy watching a man walk from a table to a podium in a bad suit. Wherever Jameis is, there will be a dozen cameras. Who cares?
April 1st, 2015 at 2:11 pm
Where are all the winston bashers who bashed him for possibly skipping the draft? Face of the franchise should be there blah blah blah…they said. Now we learn Mariota is not going. Go ahead bash him now. No wait thats not going to happen. Those same lunatics wanted Hardy but not winston. Those same lunatics are okay with mariota missing the draft but not winston. The hypocrisy!!! I want to hear from the hypocritical bastards who post on this website. Where are you guys now? This is just too good.
@ waterboy……..thanks for calling out a few, but I am sure the likes of Robert and barry had something nasty to say about winston not attending the draft. Where are the hypocrites???????/
April 1st, 2015 at 2:12 pm
@therealmalloy,
As a paramedic you never ran across a person who had type 2 diabetes and multiple surgeries?
I know quite a few unfortunate folks who have, one who had 17 surgeries, half amputations, bypass procedures, etc.
It can be pretty devastating. I believe it is the number one cause of amputations in the US.
Naturally, Jameis must be lying about his Grandmother’s condition.
Maybe you should go back to paramedic school.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:12 pm
Realist I really hope that he comes to the draft day party at Ray Jay. I can’t stop thinking that it might happen…

April 1st, 2015 at 2:16 pm
I believe the difference in reaction amongst the 2 QBs deciding not to attend is for three main reasons:
1. When it was reported JW would not attend, the reasoning (his grandma’s health) was not explained.
2. Add that to the off-field / character concerns people have with JW, and people jumped to the conclusion that Goodell told him not to attend or that he should stay out of the spotlight b/c of the possible backlash.
3. He’s projected to go #1, and people think the #1 pick should be there in person.
Not saying whether those are right or wrong, just the reasons I believe there was more outrage with JW.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:17 pm
@87likesprisonsex The only reason Jameis is skipping the draft is because he knew Mariota would, that’s just the type of guy Mariota is. Jameis is trying so hard to be like him and take the attention of how great of a person/player Mariota is that its pathetic. I hope the saints trade up with Tennessee and pick Mariota and he kicks our ass for the next 15 plus years while Jameis is out of the league in 3.

Paramedic…hmmm…probably not a good one. People with diabetes can and do lose limbs due to diabetes which makes it very difficult to travel. I have a family history of it and its not always related to weight either.
Judgmental hypocrites…stay in your own lane.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:19 pm
I think Jameis puts too much mayo on his sandwich. We can’t draft him.

Any team that is picking first overall, is not a good team. When you’re getting picked first, and you know it, and you’re a QB, you’re going to become the face of the franchise. That means on billboards, the side of stadiums, the back of jerseys, the incentive for season ticket sales, the hope for fans, etc. You’re basically the second life for the team
It’s going to be almost as much about the marketing as it is about what u do on the field, I just think Winston should be there to smile, take the photo, get his hug and jersey, and call it a day.
He’s not going because his grandma has type 2 (aka acquired) diabetes… is q bogus excuse.

April 1st, 2015 at 2:26 pm
The same people who have been saying Mariota will be the top pick now say it is ok he is missing the draft because he isn’t going to be the top pick.
Just admit you hate Jameis Winston.
And type 2 diabetes can be VERY debilitation. Look it up before you run your mouths about it.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:27 pm
Winston doesn’t have to workout though because he’s already the greatest, right? Lol, u guys are so blind. This dude is a textbook bust waiting to happen. Just like Jimbo’s other fine QB prospects…. SMH

Depends on how u take care of yourself, I’m well versed
April 1st, 2015 at 2:30 pm
Maybe this is a double standard, but Jameis Winston can qb by football team. Marcus Mariota can date my daughter. Just because you can do one, doesn’t mean you can do the other. Just saying.
April 1st, 2015 at 2:32 pm
Winston-lovers, u gotta admit that dude doesn’t even look like an athlete. He looks like a couch potato. At least Jimbo has a great track record of developing top QB prospects who thrive in the NFL. Oh, wait…..

No mystery here. Mariota’s decision isn’t murky. Winston’s is – with speculation that he and the NFL want to avoid any embarrassment due to his reputation. There’s no double standard. It’s just a different set of circumstances for each player. There’s no story.

April 1st, 2015 at 2:56 pm
87,
I do not owe you a jersey & I don’t think I’ll ever owe you a jersey. The only reason I feel a little uncertainty is bcuz of the horrible personnel decisions that we made last year. Jaboo the Hut would fit right in the Michael Johnson’s and Anthony Collins of the world.
April 1st, 2015 at 3:00 pm
Nothing to see here… Move along. I don’t care whether (or why) these guys choose to attend the draft or not. Bigger fish…
April 1st, 2015 at 3:00 pm
Technically, Erik doesn’t owe 87 a jersey until the pick is in.
However, if they come to contract terms predraft, I think that will be enough for Erik to concede.
Up until then, Erik can do backstrokes in denial.
April 1st, 2015 at 3:01 pm
Thanks for writing this, I was sick and tired of people saying how much better of a person Mariota was. Then slamming Winston for wanting to stay home with his grandmother because she could travel, and saying Mariota would never do that.
News flash, you can’t predict the future! For all you know Winston might be a saint in the NFL and Mariota can get drunk and kill someone while drunk driving.

Winston should watch the Draft with his family in the Glazers suite at Raymond James. Who cares about the podium or the NFL Czar?
April 1st, 2015 at 3:10 pm
Jameis and Marcus seem to forget there’s a tyrant in the commissioners office. They can both expect retribution in the future in some way. You don’t embarrass Goodell and come away scot free. So they’ll learn that lesson at least.

I think it has a lot to do with personality. In any walk of life if someone likes to do a lot of talking and carries themselves with a bit too much arrogance you make yourself a big target of scrutiny. Personally arrogant people bother me more than anything and it’s definitely easy to try and knock them down a peg. It’s about bringing them back down to earth and/or sometimes jealousy. If you keep your mouth shut, be respectful, work hard, you do tend to get away with things more.
Having said all that I’ve been hearing about the grandma thing and gives me added respect for a guy I’ve been quite uncomfortable with. Can’t fault him for putting that above all the hype. Sorry fans, but family comes first.

He’s already told me a few times that he won’t skip out on that bet. It’s like this, I would have to buy him a Mariota jersey and feel the wrath of my wife. I would have bought it too. Karma is a beotch. I learned that a long time, it is real.
I was a 1000% confident Winston was going to be the pick months ago, that’s why I made the bet and was asking for anyone to take me up on the bet. Erik jumped on it with a confidence of his own.
We’ll see how this jersey thing plays out though….

Personal and cultural reasons. That’s good enough for me. Jameis has a good reason too my grandmother passed away due to complications of pneumonia. Her diabetes made her recovery near impossible. She was in n out for the last year of her life n it was tough seeing her in that condition. If jameis had came out n said that instead of waiting to reveal his reason I think he’d have been understood.

The only changing of screen names will happen when Jaboo throws his 25th pick by Dec 1st….

Winston gets more pub, positive or negative. Double-edged sword.
April 1st, 2015 at 5:33 pm
If your not in NY or Chicago for the big events, likely hood is you cannot receive any negative publicity during the visit. maybe this will become the norm. Who knows. maybe the pickings get so slim for the NFL in the future they will invite potential 7th round draftees.

Mariota will beat the Bucs when they play the Titans this year! Just like in college when Winston lost in defeat to the man he cannot beat
April 1st, 2015 at 7:06 pm
Yungry,
I’ll take that bet.

Since you wanna cite Jimbo’s track record in developing NFL QBs, it’s only fair you acknowledge the Oregon system QBs that have excelled in the NFL…right?

Happy April Fool’s Day!
Glennon will be the starter so Winston won’t play against the Titans…
April 1st, 2015 at 7:36 pm
Hungry,
🙂
I’m not so sure about that.
I’m guessing that Winston starts opening day.
Still want to bet?

Auto correct. Sorry.

You buy me a red #8 Glennon jersey if Mike starts the season. If not, I’ll buy you the new red Mariota jump off jersey when he is selected #1 deal?
April 1st, 2015 at 7:47 pm
🙂
At least you have a sense of humor.
I’ll pass on that bet.

In Winston’s defense, Diabetes, type 1 or 2, causes the blood sugar to be high (obviously), which thickens the blood. Long periods of standing or sitting can cause the blood to pool in the legs, possibly causing blood clots that could travel to the heart, lungs, or brain and kill her. It’s definitely a valid reason.
The situation seemed pretty shady in the beginning before more info came out about it. I hereby retract any name calling I did of Winston at that time.
April 1st, 2015 at 8:14 pm
Well, for one thing, it is unlikely he’ll be the number one pick.
I was upset that Winston would not be there, but after watching his interview after the Pro Day, I’m fine with it.
BTW, anyone know where I can watch that show last night with him and Billick?
April 1st, 2015 at 8:14 pm
I’ve always supported Marcus but Winston is making the right decision. His grandmother sounds very important to him and she likely doesn’t need to be traveling. A selfish person would leave his family behind to showcase fame and publicity on that stage.
April 1st, 2015 at 8:21 pm
He said she was unable to travel, so Winston’s grandmother must be in pretty bad shape. Otherwise he would take her to Chicago.

Bonzai,
“Game Changers” its with Mariucci
April 1st, 2015 at 10:19 pm
NFL.com supposedly has it…. I haven’t watched it yet either. I heard it was great though…
April 2nd, 2015 at 5:13 am
Why is everyone afraid of Mariota being a Buc? The kids super talented and relentless won a ton of games in college has next level skills what’s wrong with having a bigger faster version of Russell Wilson?
April 2nd, 2015 at 6:25 am
This article is nothing but whining.
April 2nd, 2015 at 7:38 am
RealkillersmoveinSilence…I have a better question for you.
Why is anyone still talking about Mariota?
April 2nd, 2015 at 7:43 am
Every body thinks Russel Wilson’s just grow on trees. It’s not like the NFL just now figured out his type makes a great qb. Wilson is an outlier. Looking for the next Russel Wilson will get you nothing more than a Tyre Pryor. A qb with brains AND bronze is as rare as a Mariota fan with common sense!!!

*sigh* Real Malloy, in all you vast medical experience are you not aware the diabetes is a spectrum illness? “diabetes” can refer to anything from “i’ve gotta watch my blood sugar” to “i’m an amputee with macular degeneration”. but i’m sure you’re familiar with Grandma Winston’s medical chart
April 2nd, 2015 at 9:11 am
wow, all you gracious people have decided to lay off winston on this one because you’re happy with his explanation for something nobody should be compelled to explain. so magnanimous.
April 2nd, 2015 at 9:21 am
I think it is a bit early to act like anyone has been prove right yet. The draft hasn’t happened.
Couch Fan Says
“Ohhhh Bonzaiiiiiii
I remember you saying this was a red flag for Winston….
So is this a red flag in your book for Mariota as well?”
Yes and no. By consensus, Mariota is not slated to be the first pick. It is entirely possible he could slide.
If the mockers are all wrong, and Winston is not picked first, there is no way he get’s past 2nd.
However, if you took the time to actually read, you would see my comment that I was upset at first, but his post Pro Day interview set me at ease with it.

Bullspit. An explanation was indeed warranted…at least to the fans of the team that will take him at 1.
