Winslow Doesn't Like Being Called 'Sarge'

Kellen WinslowWe didn’t realize that Tampa Bay Bucs tight end Kellen Winslow is known in some circles as “Sgt. Winslow.”
(The moniker arises from the “I’m a f–king soldier” tirade of his college days at Miami.)
So when “Joe” of JoeBucsFan.com got access to Winslow at his recent youth football camp, Winslow made a pointed request of one of the web site that use the military nickname.
“You’re not going to say that no more, right?” Winslow reportedly “barked.”
Winslow repeated the request at least two other times. “No more of this sergeant stuff, OK?” he said.
And JoeBucsFan.com complied.
But, man, what a wasted Jim/Chris Everett-style opportunity.
Then again, notoriety and/or a lawsuit for assault and battery won’t unbreak bones.
Meanwhile, every defensive player who faces Winslow this year undoubtedly will be calling him “Sarge.”
