Bad situation for the team and Winslow.

Maybe they'd treat him as part of the team if he could stay healthy and actually be around, but fining your player for such a statement is also ridiculous.

Isn't he the player who missed his rookie season because he hurt himself popping a wheelie on a bike?

The last couple of years he has put up some big numbers while playing hurt and Clev. did not re work his contract.

IMO there should be a league mandated standard for every team on prevention of staph infections. They are so dangerous. That 7-7 center for UNC Asheville just had part of his foot amputated due to staph, and it ended his career and nearly killed him in the process.

I saw a special on TV one time on staph prevention in team locker rooms. They literally have teams of people come in and spray every inch of the locker room/weight room/showers with some super duper anti-microbial stuff like once a week. I know the Skins do it now, as should every pro and college team.

As far as Winslow, to suspend him for this is BS. Maybe a fine for running his mouth about the front office, but a suspension is dumb.
