Jimbo Fisher throws first pitch to Jameis Winston at Rays game (VIDEO)

The Tampa Bay Rays hosted the Baltimore Orioles at home on Sunday, but if you're a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you finally got to see your team's first-round pick Jameis Winston in action.

Albeit, on the baseball diamond.


And although Winston didn't throw anything, he did team up with his former coach at Florida State, Jimbo Fisher, as battery mates for the first pitch.




Save that arm for the NFL Jameis.

Jimbo Fisher bans Florida State players from bars: Report

It looks like Florida State football players will have find some new places to hit on women this season.

After news broke Friday that Florida State running back Dalvin Cook would be charged with battery after allegedly punching a woman outside a Tallahassee bar, Jimbo Fisher released a statement saying he would hold players accountable for their actions, and promising that "we will do better."

And it sounds like the first part of the FSU head coach's plan to do better is to ban players from Florida drinking establishments.



Cook's alleged assault comes just weeks after quarterback De'Andre Johnson was kicked off the team after being charged with hitting a woman inside another Tallahassee bar. 

Now the the Tallahassee Democrat is reporting that Fisher met with his players on Saturday, and declared bars off-limits.

While the coach is hopeful this off-the-field game plan will deter FSU players from getting into future trouble, it's only a start.

A better deterrent might be if Fisher starts handing out more severe punishments. Should Cook be found guilty of the crime, booting the Seminoles starting running back off the team like he did Johnson will send a far louder message than anything else.

And Jimbo might want to ban players from the supermarket seafood sections too.

FSU's Nick O'Leary to miss spring training after another motorcycle accident: Report

Florida State starting tight end Nick O’Leary will miss the rest of spring training because of injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident — his second in less than a year.

FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher said the All-ACC second teamer injured his ankle and was “skinned from head to toe.”



O’Leary, the grandson of golfer Jack Nicklaus, caught 33 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns last season, helping the Seminoles win the BCS Championship.

It sounds like O'Leary needs a helmet 24/7— both on and off the field. O'Leary was involved in another motorcycle accident which he T-boned a car and flipped over the hood last July.

Amazingly, he walked away from the crash and did not miss any practice time.

Here's a video of last summer's collision:
