Nigel Carr drives Florida State into trouble

So today the VFA tweeted, "Right, it's Monday. Who's going to get toasted by the NCAA/cops this week?"

The VFA added: "#Floridasagoodbet," of course referring to the fact that three Florida teams had appeared on my most hated list (although to be fair, Miami is a reflection of the future rather than presence —college football is only good with a good Miami etc. etc. etc.).

Within two seconds, this came through: "Florida State linebacker faces felony charges".

FELONY CHARGES? Yep, apparently Nigel Carr, starting linebacker for the Florida State Seminoles, is facing a bunch of charges including auto burglary, credit card theft, and fraud.

We'll say that again: Auto burglary, credit card theft, and fraud.

Jimbo Fisher is apparently saying that the university's policy is to suspend players on felony charges. 

Mind you, it won't really matter if he's suspended, because if he's found guilty, he could well be jailed anyway.

Wait a minute, he's an athlete —he'll get to choose when he does time. Can the rest of us get that please?  I'll choose never.
