Jimbo 'N' Jameis

Whatcha gonna do if’n Famous Jameis goes pro? ‘tain’t nottin ya can do ‘bout it, Coach Jimbo Dontcha know, da freshman Heisman winner’s caught da eye Even da Giants’ Eli ain’t a-rankin’ too high Butcha ya got ta give it ta dem dadgum referees Dey even find ways ta yeller-flag Drew Breeze ‘tain’t sayin’ Jameis is apt ta go jest yet But if’n he gets lotsa bucks, he may jest be a Jet Shure, New York might be colder’n a witch’s tit But yer brass bra in January, Jameis can fit Tajh Boyd ‘n’ Michael Vic should be grindin’ der teeth Dey ain’t fallen outta da ugly tree yet (look beneath) Now Aaron Rodgers is so granny-slappin’ good Dis’n deserves ta stay; it’s jest understood Jameis is hotter’n' a goat’s butt in a pepper patch Jimbo, ya best find a way dem pro offers ta match! *Written August 25, 2014 for Verlena's Ebonics contest. Jameis Winston is the quarterback for the Florida State Seminoles and he won the Heisman as a red-shirt Freshman. FSU's coach is Jimbo Fisher.

Great job Carolyn. I am just not up on the new slang. Most of the poems have been meaningless to me. Just too old. I guess. Love, Joyce

Hi Carolyn...this took me quite a while to go through, trying to make it all out; I'm afraid ebonics ain't made for me. Maltese dialect is much easier:) hugs // paul

he is a very good college QB, but pro, I haven't seen anything yet to lead me to think he is going to be good at the next level, when I start seeing him process a defense in 3 seconds and make the correct call then I might change my mind

There was talk last year that he might go pro after his sophomore year. FSU's last quarterback, E.J. Manuel, is the first-string QB for the Buffalo Bills. He didn't set as many records as Jameis. We'll see!
