Everybody wanted to hear Jameis Winston speak at ACC Media Days, and pretty early on, he provided a sound bite that'll make some waves:

Considering Winston won the Heisman Trophy and the national championship for Florida State and thus earned the school millions upon millions of dollars in exposure, ticket and merchandise sales, it wouldn't be crazy for the star QB to think he's worth a tad more than the price of tuition to his university. But if he feels that way, he isn't saying it out loud.
And yes, everybody on the Internet instantly made the same joke:
Yes, Jameis Winston stole some crab legs earlier this year. The official stance is that he just absentmindedly forgot to pay for them, not that he was so broke he couldn't pay for crab legs, but still, everybody made the same joke.
