Overview

  • Jameis Winston, appearing on Netflix’s MLB Opening Night broadcast Wednesday, turned a crab-legs question into a self-deprecating bit.
  • He stood at Oracle Park’s Crazy Crab stand as host Elle Duncan asked if he paid, and he replied he “may or may not be plotting” to get fresh crab legs.
  • He followed with a Barry Bonds quip about crab sales rising after the slugger’s retirement due to fewer “baseball-related crab deaths.”
  • The jokes referenced a 2014 Florida State incident that brought a civil citation over about $32 in seafood, which he once said a worker gave him and Publix later disputed.
  • Outlets including TMZ and the New York Post spotlighted the exchange as a standout segment from the personality-driven broadcast, with no new allegations or legal developments.
