It Seems Kellen Winslow II's Love of Masturbation and Porn Knows No Limits
The other day I wrote about Kellen Winslow II’s conviction on charges of raping a 58 year old homeless woman, a 17 ear old girl and hanging dong in front of a 59-year-old while she was working in her garden. At the time, the jury was still deliberating on Winslow’s other sex crimes, including two more rapes, not including the ones he was charged with that were later dropped where the alleged victims were 86 and 71 and a 54 year old he picked up hitchhiking.
The first update on those pending charges is that the jury remained hopelessly deadlocked so the judge declared a mistrial. The more recent one is this piece from Sports Illustrated that paints a picture of Winslow being an even sicker fuck than you probably imagined. Sick even by the already incredibly low standards of convicted rapists of 58 year old homeless ladies:
From his early years in Cleveland (2004-08), to his final NFL season in 2013 with the Jets, Winslow became known to co-workers as a compulsive masturbater and pornography enthusiast, according to two teammates and three former team officials. He could count on having an empty seat next to him on any team flight, due to his ritual of watching hardcore pornography on his portable DVD player, according to those sources. On one occasion, an equipment manager tasked with delivering gear to lockers after hours walked in on Winslow masturbating at his locker, two seats away from the entrance, according to two team officials familiar with the incident.
During road games when the team stayed at a hotel and had a curfew, assistant coaches who performed bed checks reported on multiple occasions finding Winslow watching pornography. When pornography became widely available on mobile phones, he often watched it on his smartphone during meetings, the two former teammates said (nowadays, such sites would typically be blocked by the building WiFi). Teammates begged out of shared hotel room assignments with Winslow because he watched pornography and masturbated openly, with no regard for who was in the room, a teammate and an official said. Romeo Crennel, former Browns head coach, and former Browns assistant Terry Robiskie made efforts to mentor Winslow and impress upon him expectations of appropriate behavior, according to the officials, especially once Crennel became aware of a road-trip roommate’s pleas for a new assignment. The advice, apparently, didn’t get through. Later on in his career, after being sent to Tampa Bay via trade, Winslow acquired a life-sized silicone mold of a woman’s torso—complete with vagina and anus—to bring with him on road trips, according to one former assistant coach.
Boy, you think you know a guy. …
No wonder his NFL career was an abject failure. How are you supposed to learn your keys and reads, the audibles and check-with-mes and blocking assignments when you’re jacking it to porn all day, every day. On the team plane. With your roommate getting ready for bed. In the locker room. I bet the average session for the average guy takes a good 20 minutes just to find the right video to suit his mood. Multiply that by how often Winslow II: The Sequel was whipping up batches and there just wasn’t enough hours in the day to study his playbook.
I’ll have to plead ignorance on how much an anatomically correct, life-sized silicone woman’s torso costs. But I bet it’s a bundle of cash. And even the No. 6 overall draft pick doesn’t have the cash to blow on something like that unless he uses it enough to get his money’s worth. So yeah, this is explains a lot about why he was such a bust relative to what his ceiling was coming out of the U.
Though in all seriousness, read the article. It makes some great points about why a monster like Winslow, who had all it takes to get all the women a guy could hope for, chose instead to prey on older women and underage girls. One word: vulnerability. It gets into how creepshows like him get off on the power dynamic and draws a through line to guys like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby and explains in some small degree why they choose the victims they do. It’s as interesting as it is thoroughly disturbing. But very much worth your while.
In the meantime, this psychotic serial jerkoff is going to the Stoney Lonesome for eight years. Where he’ll have all the time in the world to rub ‘em out, one right after the other like Multiple Miggs. So at least the streets, team charters, hotel rooms and locker rooms of America will be just a little bit safer.
