The Return of the Florida State Criminoles

Don't call it a comeback, they've been here for years. I wonder if FSU has a staff criminal defense attorney, a la Maurice Levy in The Wire. They need one.



Fast on the heels of a cheating scandal that resulted in six suspensions, FSU's Most Valuable Player, receiver Preston Parker, has been charged with possession of a .45 pistol and a baggie of marijuana, according to ESPN. That's right: the Florida State University has a Most Valuable Player, presented to you by Dillard's Shoe Department in conjunction with the The Mandalay Bay Sportsbook.

This isn't Parker's first brush with the law. He was previously caught pocketing a $10 DVD at Best Buy. Booster checks just don't fill up that Escalade like they used to. I blame rising gas, food and sneaker prices.

Wasn't this stuff easier to overlook when Florida State was dominant?

***WARNING*** Turn SafeSearch ON when Google Imaging Parker. There's a male porn star with the same name.

Related update: Adrian McPherson currently plays for Grand Rapids in the AFL. His stint with the Saints was partially cut short when the Titans mascot hit him with a cart.
