NFL's Marcedes Lewis NFL Could Fix Jameis Winston
Sure, he was a headache in college ... but the NFL could actually help Jameis Winston get his act together off the field ... so says Jacksonville Jaguars star Marcedes Lewis.
Lewis -- who's been in the league for 9 seasons -- was out in L.A. Wednesday and told us he believes in the various programs the NFL has in place to help provide "guidance" to young players.
"He's young. You expect him to make mistakes," Lewis said ... "The NFL, they have certain programs to help guide him through, so he'll be fine."
Of course, Winston decided to forego his junior season at FSU and declare for the upcoming draft because he's expected to be a first round pick.
So clearly Winston believes that teams believe in him ... and so does Lewis.

The Chicago Bears player who was arrested for DUI Wednesday told police he was going nearly 100 mph on the Interstate because he was late for a parent/teacher conference ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.
According to the report, Tim Jennings was arrested around noon in Gwinnett County, GA ... when an officer saw the 31-year-old hauling ass in a white Mercedes.

But according to the report, Jennings was ADAMANT he wasn't drunk -- telling the cop he had stopped drinking about 10 hours before the stop (2AM).
The cop asked Jennings if he had brushed his teeth or used mouthwash to cover up the scent -- and Jennings replied, "What kind of question is that?"
The officer shot back, "Sir, you can brush your teeth and still have the smell of alcohol on your breath, you know that."
The cop says Tim admitted to speeding and said he was running late for a parent/teacher conference for his 2-year-old child.
Jennings refused to take a breathalyzer but bombed several other field sobriety tests and was eventually arrested for DUI, speeding and reckless driving.
We reached out to Jennings for comment -- so far, no word back.

Adrian Peterson was spotted at a craps table at the El San Juan Casino in Puerto Rico last week ... gamblin' alongside his wife Ashley Brown.

Sacha Baron Cohen Soccer Movie Under Fire Over Fat, Ugly Women
Sacha Baron Cohen has pissed off local politicians in the English town of Grimsby -- all over reports that he's using enormous fat women to play Grimsby soccer fans in his new movie.
Cohen is reportedly using a gang of "revolting" 300-pound ladies in his upcoming scripted flick "Grimsby" -- based around a soccer hooligan who lives in the real U.K. town of Grimsby.
Now, Austin Mitchell -- a local member of parliament -- is going off about the reports ... telling MailOnline, "I know it's a joke but I haven't seen these fat ladies anywhere. If they were so fat they wouldn't fit through the turnstiles at the stadium."
Mitchell continued, "You can find fat ladies anywhere, we don't have an accumulation of them. We have the problems of a town which needs more development and jobs and its lost its basic industry."
As we previously reported, the townspeople are also upset with the movie -- claiming Cohen is unfairly portraying the city as being overrun with hooligans and low-lifes.
But Grimsby City Council members have told TMZ ... everyone should relax ... the film is a comedy -- not a realistic depiction of Grimsby. They say Cohen isn't even shooting in Grimsby.

Screw your 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie card ... an old woman from Boston just learned her family's been sitting on a MILLION DOLLAR baseball card stash for more than 100 years!
The woman -- who has not revealed her name -- went on PBS' "Antiques Roadshow" with a bunch of cards and memorabilia she inherited from her great-great-grandmother.
Turns out, the booty was a collection of ultra-rare baseball cards featuring the 1871 Boston Red Stockings. The woman also had autographs from some of the players.
One of the cards featured George Wright -- the biggest superstar in the sport at the time. He was ultimately inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
"Roadshow" appraisers valued the collection at $1 million.
The woman says she found the collection just sitting in a desk drawer ... "I ran across it one day and decided I'd like to have it, not realizing at all what it was worth."
FYI -- your Griffey rookie's worth about ten bucks. Sorry.
