What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on lately?  Yesterday it was the flap about Clemson keeping a lid on a story about a coach using a racial epithet in practice and now comes word about some tension at Florida State.

It appears to have started with a comment Mike Norvell, the head coach, gave to a beat writer from The Athletic.

On the surface, fairly anodyne stuff you wouldn’t be surprised to hear said by a typical head coach in the past few days.  Apparently, though, it didn’t go over well with one of FSU’s best players.

I have no idea where this is going, but Norvell’s got some fixin’ to do, to say the least.  Two incidents in a couple of days doth not a trend make, of course, but were I a head coach, it might behoove me to stick a finger in the air to see which way the wind blows before opening my mouth.

Norvell’s not a dumb guy.  He’s just used to being able to speak loosely about his player relations without being called on it.  Like a lot of his peers.
