We’re not saying he isn’t guilty, but according to the Miami Herald, charges haven’t even been filed against A.J. Nicholson who has been accused of raping a 19 year old acquaintance in a Hollywood hotel. Yet, Bobby Bowden has suspended the leading FSU tackler for the Orange Bowl “for violating a team rule”.
I guess when you’re Bobby Bowden and you’ve had major fiascos leading up to recent bowl games (Darnell Dockett, Chris Rix, Snoop Minnis), you have to be quick on the trigger and give some semblance that the inmates aren’t indeed running the asylum. Not that it matters anyway, FSU is 9.5 pt underdogs against Penn State.
