Did anyone else catch the first play of the Bucs/Jags game the other night? Garrard goes play action, then fires a 74 yard bomb to Troy Williamson while Ronde Barber & Sabby Piscatelli trot behind him arguing with each other the whole way. Touchdown. 7-0 Jags against the Bucs FIRST UNIT! THE STARTERS! They looked like crap. The best part is, because they technically did win the fake game, all of the proud Buc fans are starting to mutter things like, "hmmm they're not so bad." "Maybe this defense is gonna be OK..." "This Freeman kid really showed some good poise out there." The starters got their asses kicked 14-3 til they got yanked. Then the game dragged on scrubs v. scrubs and ended when Jacksonville opted to go for 2 and the win but fell short. As for all of us in the Free Money Movement, things just keep getting better and better. Raheem reneged on his decision to name a starter by now simply stating that, "deadlines are made to be broken." Tell that to one of your players the next time he misses curfew, coach. Angelo Crowell (the linebacker whom they signed to replace Derrick Brooks despite missing most of the last 2 seasons with injuries) was put on injured reserve today at the small price of $2 million bucks. EEEEEEEEXCELLEEEEENT.
So lets recap the first 2 weeks of the preseason: Punter Josh Bidwell out for the year. LB Angelo Crowell done for the year. Antonio Bryant tears his MCL. Tanard Jackson is suspended 4 games for drugs. Aqib Talib gets arrested for beating up a cab driver and will be suspended soon. Head coach still can't pick a starting quarterback BECAUSE ALL THREE OF THEM SUCK! This is why profootballtalk.com just picked the Bucs 29th out of 32 teams in their NFL Power Rankings. This is why they are a -200 bet on the under of 6.5 wins. This is why they can't sell tickets and their games are blacked out. This is why we call it Free Money. Join the Movement.
