OT: Buccaneers, Rays & Other Tampa Bay Sports Teams Thread

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

I really dislike AB but our receivers are banged up. Of course he won't be able to help for a while.

I think his suspension ends soon and he's eligible for Week 9, actually. I think that was the whole point of teams waiting up until now to go after him.

 

[Stormbreaker]

My fear is bringing in the biggest diva of them all to a WR room that has zero ego.

 

[Major4Boarding]

I wonder if there'd be a massive media shit-show if he was available to play this Sunday

he is not eligible until week 9

[Major4Boarding]

he is not eligible until week 9

I know. It was a “What if” statement

 

[DMB06]

I've never seen a baseball game end like that in my life. That was insane, no words.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Lol that was awesome! Raysup!

 

[Hoek]

Lmao wtf was that. Epic fail by the Dodgers there, hahaha

 

[Stormbreaker]

Insanity

 

[Discipline]

wtf was that...

Also that Joe Buck call wow.

 

[Stormbreaker]

lmao

 

[T REX]

That was freaking awesome. Great time for Tampa sports.

 

[These Are The Days]

I wanted to turn it off and almost did but still had that same gut feeling as I did during the Cup run. I'm glad it had me stick around

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[The Gongshow]

The ending to the Ray's game last night was incredible

 

[Hoek]

Bucs continue to fire on all cylinders. Offense and defense, wow.

 

[Stormbreaker]

The GOAT! What a dime.

 

[CupsOverCash]

The GOAT! What a dime.

Oh wow before the half.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Bucs continue to fire on all cylinders. Offense and defense, wow.

I think with Tom Brady the expectations naturally rose but I wasn't expecting to get to super bowl winner contender this year at least. Was at the very least hoping for playoffs. With Brady there is always a chance at super bowl contention but being a tampa fan I feel like took a little away from that until they've really come on over the last few games and really look tough. Still too early to say but playoffs definitely are the floor expectation of what we should see and for me that would make me happy and anything after that is icing on the cake.

The more I take time to think about it the more I think this was a natural consequence/bound to happen process for the Bucs. It was a perfect storm. Hear me out

1. Ungodly amount of talent stacked through the lineup for years and years now. This was a 10 win team at worst last season.
2. Stacked team can't get over the hump and by 2020 is filled with guys so sick of losing they'll do just about anything to win-Thanks Jameis
3. You hire a coach that would probably show up in a Hawaiian shirt with his chest hairs poking out at a ballgame and that still wouldn't fully encapsulate how little this man gives a f*** about anything.
4. All said coach cares about is winning ballgames. Period.
5. A QB who is pathologically obsessed with winning is on the market. He HAS TO have it and goes nuts if he doesn't. 6 rings still ain't enough for this cat. His name is Tom Brady


So now you have an insanely talented team that's sick of losing that's being coached by a laid back cancer survivor who doesn't care how it gets done. Yeah.... if you're Tom Brady this makes more sense than anything in your life.


No wonder we're 5-2 and no wonder everyone is so bought in.



I know I'm saying this lightheartedly but I'm being serious. At this point I'm comfortable with predicting an 11-5 record at worst

I didnt think tom would sign with us mostly because we can't have nice things but I did think we were an excellent fit for him. Weapons all over the offense and a stingy d. I remember people saying no way tampa gets him and I was saying I agree but if he did decide to leave NE that Tampa would be in the mix. I mostly didn't think he would ever leave NE. They would find a way to make it work. Happy to be oh so wrong about that.

f*** you Kevin Cash. So rarely do you see a fireable offense of such magnitude.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

f*** you Kevin Cash. So rarely do you see a fireable offense of such magnitude.

Never can understand why managers keep bringing in a pitcher who is obviously crap. The idiot Craig Counsell blew a World Series for the Brewers because he insisted on bringing in a waste instead of Hader.

 

[saluki]

f*** you Kevin Cash. So rarely do you see a fireable offense of such magnitude.

That's the worst managerial move I've ever seen. It's bad in every way you can imagine.
