Football:
Junior Marvin Wilson has seen Florida State teams crumble in the face of adversity before, and now, he’s doing all he can to avoid that this season, including making his teammates run.
Hear from Wilson, Levonta Taylor, Amari Gainer and defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett here. (Do I get bonus points for using homonyms?)

Two more former Seminoles are headed to the XFL, with running back Jacques Patrick getting a chance with the Tampa Bay Vipers and cornerback Marquez White heading to the St. Louis Hawks.

Ramsey has immense leverage over #Rams. Shouldn’t play a down for them until they make him the richest defensive player in football. Can use his back injury as an excuse & still collect game checks.https://t.co/HDwLwVD9nQ
