About Jameis Winston
Golden State Warriors In Game 3
Not everyone in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' building was a fan of Jameis Winston com- ing out of college. Even head coach Dirk Koetter said he initially preferred Marcus Mariota to Winston. After spending time around Win- ston those opinions quickly change.
New offensive coordinator Todd Monken -- formerly head coach at Southern Miss -- said he had it all wrong about Winston.
"It's who he is, how he's wired," Monken said, via the Tampa Bay Times. "I think that's one thing that's a misnomer. I think from the outside you would've looked at it with all the things that were publicized in the past about him and who he is. I was dead wrong. He wants to winasmuchaswedo.He'sa competitive joker, man, he's smart, he's intelligent ... you can win a lot of games with guys like that."
Since being hired in Janu- ary, Monken said learning about the young quarter- back's personality changed
JAMEIS WINSTON how he views Winston.
"I think that's just general in life, especially with social media today, but even before then," Monken said. "With- out knowing a person, we make judgments without ever being around them. I think that's just common, that's not just Jameis, that's people. You make thoughts, impressions when you meet someone on Facebook or Twitter or (Snapchat), you think you know them. You think you're a part of their life, you have no idea what they're like until you get around them and you're around them day to day and see what they're about. That's in terms of life, not just him."
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A green golf cart waited outside the Oklahoma City Thunder locker room, ready to take Kevin Durant and Russell West- brook through the bowels of Chesapeake Energy Arena to their postgame interview availability. They had done enough carrying on Sunday night; it was someone else's turn.
In their 133-105 Game 3 evisceration of the Golden State Warriors to go up 2-1, Durant was stellar with 33 points on 10-of-15 shooting. Westbrook equally sensa- tional with 30 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists. But the most important stat be- tween them: five total turnovers. One for Durant -

"My teammates did a great job of driving the basketball and taking the pressure off of me," Durant said. "Not let- ting me handle the ball as much and just taking the pressure off me, and I was trying to make the correct passes and the simple passes.
"I shouldn't have had that one," he said, "but I'll take one as opposed to eight."
Richard Sherman Expresses Hope In Beast Mode Return
Apparently having his Toronto Raptors take Game 3 of the Eastern Con- ference finals wasn't enough for rapper and Raptors am- bassador Drake.
After Toronto avoided falling into a 3-0 hole with a 99-84 win Saturday night against the Cleveland Cava- liers, Drake used an old pic- ture of a bemused-looking LeBron James to do a bit of trolling on Instagram.

Even those who claim to know former Seahawks run- ning back Marshawn Lynch don't actually know him, which made the ques- tion posed by NFL Media's Michael Robinson to Seat- tle corner Richard Sher- man very interesting.
Will Beast Mode remain retired?
"But it's obviously going to be different. We got a little sample of it last year," Sher- man continued. "We had to play without him for a good portion of the season. I think we're prepared for it in some aspects. But you never really want to be prepared for that. You would hope that he comes back. In the back of your mind, you hope he comes back and plays an-

other year. But he doesn't owe us anything. He's given us everything. He's given the game everything we asked.""I don't put anything past him," Sherman said at Robin- son's youth football camp in Mechanicsville, Virginia, on Saturday. "He's about as pre- dictable as a pair of dice. So I don't try to call his plays."
Cam Newton's Customized Gold- Plated Muscle Car Is A Head-Turner

RUSSELL WILSON And CIARA
Ciara and Russell Wil- son brought glitz, glamour and romance to 2016 Bill- board Music Awards!
The engaged couple walked the carpet holding hands, and Ciara, who looked amazing in a silver chain Philipp Plein dress, couldn't help but gush a little over her hubby-to-be. "I love my baby!" she told E! News' Jason Kennedy ex- clusively.
Ciara lit up when Jason brought up a few of her fi- ancé's recent social media posts documenting their fam- ily fun with her 2-year-old son Future. "He's always cap- turing cool moments," she said of Russell with a smile.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarter- back Cam Newton can now turn heads on the highway like
he does on the football field. The NFL MVP recently had his 1970 Oldsmobile 442 Cut- lass customized with 24 karat gold-plating and a new inte- rior with diamond stitching on
the seats.
“It’s a head-turner," said
Terry Dobbs, the owner of Monster Customs in Marietta, Georgia, which overhauled the classic car. “He wants his cars to be unique, just like him."
The car definitely is unique.
The gold-plated custom rims with wider-than-normal tires took two months to make so they would match up with a custom air ride suspension.
“The wheels are ridiculous - - gold-plated and painted to match the car," Dobbs said. “And the air ride suspension
definitely sets the car off." Newton took the car to Dobbs because the suspen- sion scrubbed the wheels when he made turns, making it practically undriveable. The engine also had a few gremlins
that needed fixing.
“He wanted to enjoy the
car," Dobbs said. “We threw out another idea as to how to step the car up."
Step up they did with new carpeting, a customized steer- ing wheel, a new stereo system and a rebuilt trunk.
The car is painted gloss black with satin black flames.
“You drop the top and everywhere you drive that car people are looking at it," Dobbs said.
Dobbs didn’t dare reveal how much Newton put into the car other than “the gold plating was a huge chunk of change."
