Joe Hawley Enjoying Freedom
July 9th, 2018
Former Bucs center Joe Hawley was featured on network television recently. (Photo courtesy of the Today Show.)
Just about anyone wishes they could do this.
Most Bucs fans are aware that former Bucs center brawly Joe Hawley decided rather abruptly it seems to retire this winter once his NFL contract with the Bucs ran out. Hawley proceeded to customize a rig, adopt a mutt, sell or give away most of his possessions and just cruise the United States without a care in the world.
Hawley even started a blog to document his travels, ManVanDogBlog.com.
So many people are jumping on board, even the “Today Show” did a feature on Hawley. You can see the video below.
Hawley even discussed if his tricked out van is a chick magnet or not.

Loved his style, his moxie. Old style O line guy covering his QB between the whistles. Wasn’t the greatest player, but was one of the best team mates the Bucs could ask for. Sorry to see him go.

Love Joe Hawley, good dude and really genuine and subscribed to his YouTube channel. You can tell he is enjoying life for sure, he also dropped a ton of weight and still in shape. Nothing but best wishes for our old scappy center.

“I saw this unemployed bum taking a leak on I4 off the lakeland exit behind my trailer park. I was looking at his van but he thought I was checking him out and had his dog chase me”

I love the fact that he posts what stadium he’s at and invites fans to come have a beer with him. Cheers!

Kobe stick to being a d bag and stay far away from comedy

I’m not so sure why everybody is nasty to Kobe.
I get not agreeing with his takes but he seems to have engendered some real animosity. Is he guilty of anything other than some moronic takes? LOL
Yeah I know…I’ve been guilty of those myself!

Got stuck watching Hawley blog videos. He mentioned both of his knees still grind, he looks like he is having a great time.
