A.J. McCarron's mom took to Twitter late Monday night to mock newly minted national champion and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston's speech during a post game interview.
After Winston's Florida State Seminoles knocked off Auburn 31-28 to cap a perfect 13-0 season, and lay claim to a national championship, the 19-year-old Winston was swarmed by probing reporters, prompting Dee Dee McCarron to tweet of his responses "Am I listening to English?
USA TODAY reports it wasn't so much what Winston said, but how he said it that seem to seem to draw McCarron's critical eye.
"We champions," Winston answered when asked what he and coach Jimbo Fisher said to one another after the final seconds ticked away. "We can share that. We are champions together. And through everything that we went through. Through all the haters. Through every single thing, we came our victorious. God did this. I'm so blessed. He's so blessed. All the stuff that he handled with Ethan (Fisher, the coach's son) and he come out here and coach us? That touched me. And it's nobody but God. It's nobody."
Winston played in every game for the Seminoles despite having a cloud of darkness hanging over his head in the form of sex abuse allegations lodged against him by a former FSU student.
The redshirt freshman quarterback was ultimately cleared when prosecutors decided not to seek charges against him.
Late Monday, Dee Dee McCarron again posted on Twitter, this time apologizing to anyone who her rant may have offended.
In the interim, athletes like LeBron James and Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush, himself a former Heisman Trophy winner, praised Winston's message during his postgame interview.
