Glenn Winstons victim says...........
from last August, AJ Sturges says........
While I hope what happened to me will never happen again, I am afraid the precedent set by this decision will only enable similar incidents in the future. With no formal athletic standards or means to deal with student athletes convicted of a violent crime, this cycle will continue

Those who don't learn from history...

Aw hell, I'm getting my motivational statements all confused.
"Play like a repeat offender today!"
November 25th, 2009 at 10:10 AM ^
..."which victim?" Winston is now a multiple-offender. Maybe he should change his name to Marlboro.
November 25th, 2009 at 10:29 AM ^
actually Winston didnt have anything to do with the latest incident he was just the scapegoat that Dantonio was hoping would calm things down so he wont have to release anymore players
November 25th, 2009 at 10:33 AM ^
That seems highly unlikely to me, but if thats true, it opens a whole new can of worms...
November 25th, 2009 at 11:17 AM ^
Victims and those familiar with the incident said they knew Winston was involved...the quote came from this article. so maybe he didn't have anything to do with the prewb, but the victims think he did.

Those who stay will be mercenaries.
November 25th, 2009 at 10:32 AM ^
Did winston even get any suspension for putting the hockey player in the hospiital???
November 25th, 2009 at 10:57 AM ^
I think it was concurrent with his jail sentence. He got reinstated upon release.
November 25th, 2009 at 11:10 AM ^
And [[shocker!]] that "suspension" was conveniently in the off-season.
What I remember is that a bunch of (insane) MSU fans were on Sturges' case for not keeping quiet about it. Looks like a 19-year old was a far better judge of character than MSU's coach and the AD. Those MSU fans owe an apology to Sturges.
November 25th, 2009 at 3:42 PM ^
The most comical thing was Jim Comparoni, MSU cheerleader-in-chief, writing after the start of fall camp that Winston's level of conditioning seemed oddly lower than last year, and speculating that he may not have worked out as hard last offseason.
November 25th, 2009 at 10:35 AM ^
I hope someone kicks Winston in the knee during his rehab.
November 25th, 2009 at 11:33 AM ^
Let’s not take it too far.
Winston definitely seems like a young man with problems and I hope he can find a way to turn his life around.
November 25th, 2009 at 2:02 PM ^
Do you honestly believe he can? He is a low life that couldn't learn from his first mistake which came with a 6 month jail sentence. I'm all for second chances but this guy deserves nothing but the worst.
November 25th, 2009 at 2:13 PM ^
I hope he can turn it around and I try to wish people the best (not the worst) in general.
November 25th, 2009 at 11:51 AM ^
sounds reasonable to me.
November 25th, 2009 at 10:51 AM ^
Isn't Winston injured?
He tore his ACL 1 month ago and just had surgery.
Hard to believe he had any part of this seeing as he can't walk w/o crutches, unless he's a Sparty mafia don and ordered the nerd massacre.
To me, this just makes Dantonio even more of a douche. Winston should have been kicked off the team before the start of this year, and now that the kid is rehabbing from an ACL tear, he's going to throw him off of the team as a scapegoat.
Dantonio, you fucking suck.

You're really forming your entire opinion of things and labelling Winston a victim based on an unsourced, anonymous post with absolutely no proof?
Really?
November 25th, 2009 at 12:05 PM ^
Have you ever suffered an ACL injury?
He suffered a complete tear just over a month ago and had surgery on it = he can't walk without the aid of crutches.
People who can't walk w/o the aid of crutches DO NOT run into a potluck, beat people down, and then run out.
Winston = mega asshole douche who should have been kicked off the team to start the year.
Dantonio = using Winston as a scapegoat.
Seriously? No charges have been made as of yet, and yet BOOM gimpy Winston is off of the team.
That sounds to me like a coach attempting to deflect attention by saying, "oooo, look I did something. See? I reacted immediately!"
The kid is an obvious scapegoat and Dantonio took advantage of him.
Dantonio = fucking douchebag.
If Winston is involved, I'm wrong, he's even more of douche, but as of now, the police are remaining mum, witnesses say they "knew" he was involved even though there were reported to be as many as 15 perpetrators who rushed in and started beating people down, while wearing ski masks. The whole thing just reeks.
November 25th, 2009 at 12:20 PM ^
I am currently on crutches and I think that his involvement in this could be iffy. Im not trying to say I know what happened, but I think it would be hard for him to pull that off. It would be hard for me to run into a building on my crutches, then manage to punch someone, and then run away. Maybe hes better on crutches than I am but it seems a little bit much.

"People who can't walk w/o the aid of crutches DO NOT run into a potluck, beat people down, and then run out."
You've obviously never seen video of my father raising hell at his class of 1959 high school reunion from a few months back. I swear, it was like watching a man turn into a helicopter with wooden blades.
/satire about parents with high school grudges
November 25th, 2009 at 11:31 AM ^
fight occurs...again
witnesses indicate winston was there
winston is kicked off
enough said.
November 25th, 2009 at 10:45 AM ^
I think the latest assault victim (assuming that Winston was (one of) the assailant(s)) might say something like, "Thank you for putting Winston on the field the day he was released from prison. I can't think of a clearer way to demonstrate that MSU was negligent in supervising a student-athlete with a demonstrated violent criminal past. You have deep pockets. I shall reach into them."
November 25th, 2009 at 10:48 AM ^
I would take that case just based on the sheer hilarity I would get out of pursuing it...
