“Keep Layin’ Bricks”
December 27th, 2018
How could Joe not share this instant classic from a Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend.
There’s really no other way to describe this other than it being pure entertainment, absolute candy and ice cream for football lovers who appreciate what Chucky accomplished as Buccaneers head coach.
Via the NFL Twitter video below, you can watch Chucky mic’d up on the Oakland Raiders sidelines last Sunday night.
Fantastic stuff.
No, intensity, one-liners and a love of rock music don’t make you a great head coach. But they sure make for great viewing.
Enjoy!
Jon Gruden. Week 16. An #NFLMicdUp all-timer. 🔊⬆️ (via @NFLFilms) https://t.co/fc040cVCSZ

Joe are you F….ing kidding me??? Who give a flying F… about Gruden OR the Raiders!! Ship that is time I will never get back! Lay off the Jack Daniels dude!
December 27th, 2018 at 8:13 pm
The only relevant stat about Gruden is 4 dash 12, his Raiders have under performed even more than the Bucs. I suspect that the Raiders will be fighting the Denver Elways for ownership of the AFC West basement for the next several years…..
December 27th, 2018 at 8:23 pm
Keep Gruden off this site no Raider fans here. He destroyed this franchise with horrible drafts and bad free agents. What’s most pathetic is everyone after him has been worse !
December 27th, 2018 at 8:40 pm
Really !!! Lol who cares about what the lier is doing these daysđź’©
December 27th, 2018 at 8:40 pm
To Hell with the Raider’s, and Gruden( Mic that up.)
December 27th, 2018 at 8:53 pm
Entertaining stuff, it’s like Gruden thinks it’s Super Bowl 37!! Led Zeppelin, classic!!
December 27th, 2018 at 9:08 pm
Gruden should always be treated as royalty here because he brought the Bucs their only championship.
Gruden knows he is with the raiders for the long haul, so he’s taking his time building the kind of team he wants, just like Jimmy Johnson did with the Cowboys who went 1-15 in his first year there.
Gruden will have the Raiders in the Superbowl in 3 years, then regularly after that.
December 27th, 2018 at 9:17 pm
@Brian Bucs…. Sir Jonathan Gruden can kiss my royal arse!!!
December 27th, 2018 at 9:26 pm
That loveable, crazy, abrasive, duplicative, a-hole has a charm to him.
I think one day he’ll be less destructive, when he gets older, and may be a great coach.
December 27th, 2018 at 9:30 pm
That said, he dismantled what was historically one of the best defense’s EVER and unceremoniously ejected many beloved players like popcorn, and pretty much destroyed the positive system Dungy and McKay had built.
Those were the days!
December 27th, 2018 at 9:31 pm
Exhibit B that BrianBucs is a football imbecile.
Gruden step 1- lie, lie, lie. Check
Gruden step 2-get rid of the best pass rusher in the league. Check
Gruden step 3- underutilize and then trade your best WR. Check
Gruden step 4-run good players and staff away with abrasiveness. Check
Gruden step 5- convince idiots it’s all part of a master plan. Check
December 27th, 2018 at 9:34 pm
Gruden step 6- ?????
Gruden step 7- World domination
December 27th, 2018 at 9:35 pm
Hey all you mad at Gruden stop. He gave our pathetic team a super bowl. Was he the best coach no. But video of him is better than any coach we have had since so you can blame the Glazers he ain’t our coach again.
December 27th, 2018 at 9:37 pm
Brian Bucs , The players will hate his white lying ( bad memory) ass in 3 years !!! The Guy is a head case that won with Rich McKays team and totally lost all players in year 3 . Total ego control freak that clearly showed he knows nothing about people nor football personnel while he was in Tampa !!! He has a pretty good dink and dunk offense but THAT is It !!! Wack Job, Head Case , liar, dishonest, 2 faced , Ego layden Clown !!!! That was to my surprise Actually Good in the Mon Night Booth !!!
December 27th, 2018 at 9:39 pm
If you can’t appreciate Gruden, The only coach in this franchises history to not only get to, but win the ultimate prize in the game of Football, then wtf are you doing on this site?
December 27th, 2018 at 9:40 pm
Heck I like the current dynamic with Gruden, I can observe him and all his crazy antics from afar and it doesn’t affect the franchise.
Although to be perfectly honest, since firing him, we ain’t done a damn thing. So there’s that I guess.
December 27th, 2018 at 9:44 pm
@BrianBucs
Exactly bro!
I predict the Raiders improve exponentially next year.
Lol Grudens strong personality sure intimidates a lot of Tampa people. Yeah, he’s a d*ck but if you treat him right he’ll be your d*ck. Right now he’s Mark Davis’
Really happy for Gruden and I think he made the right choice
December 27th, 2018 at 9:46 pm
Bullseye!
December 27th, 2018 at 9:46 pm
nah, he was not good in the monday night booth…he caused tirico to lose years off his life, and ran jaws right out of a job…the napoleon complex has a stronghold on this very successful man…you’d think he’d be beyond that, but evidently he is not…

Coward Blowsell will always be the MNF king to me
December 27th, 2018 at 9:50 pm
Lol you guys are completely triggered by Gruden
December 27th, 2018 at 9:54 pm
yes these fans are so angry at gruden..i’m not…it’s just evident that he’s an ahab
December 27th, 2018 at 10:02 pm
How much fun is Gruden having in that video?
Imagine the media circus if he actually has a winning season!
espn will become egpn
December 27th, 2018 at 10:04 pm
I thank Gruden for our Super Bowl but he ruined his good favor by dismantling this team and leaving the cupboard bare. Just as he is doing in Oakland, football has passed him by and only those who cling to the pst think he will be successful for the Raiders.
December 27th, 2018 at 10:08 pm
Chucky!
December 27th, 2018 at 10:13 pm
Gruden micd up is entertaining………but he’s not a buc and the superbowl was over 14 years ago……..everyone has moved on Joe except for the ones still living in the past.
I’d rather hear our bucs micd up…….this a bucs website……not raiders.
December 27th, 2018 at 10:16 pm
Doug looks good, behind a line that can actually run block.
December 27th, 2018 at 10:27 pm
Gruden is the best coach bucs ever had !!!
December 27th, 2018 at 10:36 pm
chucky has to win in oakland…he’s no longer the young good looking guy with funny expressions…he’s older with jowls and a meaty head…so he’d better win…pretty boy youthful looks only get you so far…
he’s a pretty good coach and should do ok over there…i have a funny feeling in about 2-3 years we will see the bucs playing the raiders in a superbowl rematch of sorts…

Joe
Can you imagine Chucky and Famous Jameis together?
Chucky would say Led Zeppelin and Jameis would say no coach let’s call it lil uzi vert.
We’d be champs in a year.
#Passion

Joe, I love and respect what ya’ll write here, great stuff, Ira Kauffman is royalty here. But Joe, your regular posters for comments, I dont think they are Bucs fans. I read thru these on your articles and I laugh at 90% of it. I do believe Tampa has the dumbest fan base in any sport, they cant support anything without crying about something. To the guys or gals who post idiocracy here, stop, look in the mirror, your not Joe, you never will be. Support your team, and stop crying like a baby. Joe sometimes I’d like to take that rock Gruden talked about, and throw it at some of our wannabe fans.
December 28th, 2018 at 12:13 am
Really happy to see Dougie being lifted up and appreciated doing well. That made my night. Our coach is sad and uninspiring.
December 28th, 2018 at 12:38 am
Oh come on. Let’s not be so sensitive. The drivel that Gruden spits is pure Gold. Decent football coach, bad talent evaluator, hasn’t met a QB he didn’t like. That said, I’m glad we didn’t get him especially when rebuilding is necessary.
December 28th, 2018 at 7:41 am
This is Joe’s website. He can post whatever he likes. If you don’t like it, feel free to leave.
On the topic of Jon Gruden, he’s always fun to watch, especially his first year or so. Then he commences to destroy a team. In this case, he’s already started doing that.
Notice how the fans are embracing him, even at 4-12?
December 28th, 2018 at 9:23 am
Damn, we as BUCS fans are just pissed at the world right now, and it has never been more evident than in this string of comments.
WTF?!!!
There is nothing wrong with taking a moment to reflect on Jon Gruden (aka Chucky) and what we accomplished with him in winning a fricking SUPER BOWL.
Are we saying he was perfect or that he should be here now? No.
Or that you should be rooting for the Raiders? No.
Just REFLECTING on something DAMN GOOD
that happened to the BUCCANEERS in 2002.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:18 am
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED every second of that video. God I miss Gruden. Haters gunna hate…. Raiders are going to be a force to be reckoned with in a few years with all dem draft picks.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:28 am
I love how the pic creates the optical illusion that there are flames coming from the Super Bowl trophy. Good stuff.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:29 am
Love that man. He will have the Raiders in the playoffs before we go and thats sad.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:36 am
Wow that brings back the nostalgic feels. Keep laying bricks JG!
December 28th, 2018 at 10:38 am
We’re missing that mans passion for the game on this team. Specifically love how he ends it with “Lets Pray!” Anyone that doesnt have love for this man and what he did for this our franchise s not a real Bucs fan. 4 division titles and a Superbowl is all i need 2 say.
December 28th, 2018 at 11:17 am
Great find Joe, thanks for posting it.
Gruden is a great coach, as will be proven when he turns it around with the Raiders.
Already playing much better in the second half and Carr is getting it.
Go Chucky, I see another ring in your future.
As for the ingrates around here, you know how they are, which is probably why your in Oakland and not on the sidelines here.
December 28th, 2018 at 11:39 am
The only thing Gruden gave us was the Raiders pay book, he didn’t win the SB on his coaching, he won it on the back of Kiffens defense pure and simple. He even stated so win he hoisted the trophy, he then said watch what he does the next year. .. same thing he did to the Raiders, dismantled the team.
December 28th, 2018 at 11:46 am
Warren Sapp will vehemently disagree with that.
December 28th, 2018 at 11:54 am
Tampa has such an interesting fan base.
The only thing they hate more than losing is winning.
December 28th, 2018 at 12:17 pm
Chucky will have the Raiders in the playoffs long before Bucs. Also I predict he’ll have the Raiders in the Super Bowl within the next five years.
December 28th, 2018 at 1:05 pm
The only thing Gruden gave us was the Raiders pay book, he didn’t win the SB on his coaching,
Warren Sapp will vehemently disagree with that.
I’m not saying he gave us the actual play book, but he knew their weaknesses and knew how to exploit them. Sure Sapp would say that he was a egotistical trash talker ever since he was in high school in Apopka, yes he is one of the greatest DT in NFL history. Yes Gruden game planned and won the SB, but if it was any other team I don’t think it would of been such a lopsided game. That team was not Grudens, if we had kept Dungy i still belive we would of won anyway, that defense was too complete for any team to handle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well said, Eric. Wow, I have to admit that I am a bit taken aback by a lot of these comments today.
With the UNREAL amount of losing that we as BUCS fans have had to endure since the beginning of this franchise…. you would think that more TB fans would hold in absolute REVERANCE the years that meant so much to us, with wins, playoffs, and a Super Bowl.
December 28th, 2018 at 2:15 pm
Boy am I a fan of revisionist history! Apparently some of you have forgotten what it took to get the ONLY Bucs coach in our history with a Championship ring.
Gruden should never have been fired. Yeah, I said it. He had issues, no doubt, but he has passion and is a WINNER.
December 28th, 2018 at 10:02 pm
LOVE JOHN GRUDEN MAN! Always have always will. Regardless of what any haters wanna say he brought us a super bowl championship and I think he’s a hell of a coach! Wish him the best of luck!
December 29th, 2018 at 3:13 am
I’ve always enjoyed Gruden – at least when he wasn’t destroying what McKay and Dungy built so he could sign Charlie Garner and every mid-30s injured offensive lineman in the land.
Anywho “shut the f@$@ up” is a great comment – I’m shocked the millennial d-bag didn’t burst into tears when he wasn’t praised for his catch.
December 29th, 2018 at 3:29 am
Really entertaining video, thanks for sharing. I think if Dirk did a mic’d up when the refs kept telling him how many timeouts he had left Dirk would be saying thank you, and can you remind me again in 15 seconds – also maybe explain how delay of game works and how, as a head coach, you can use timeouts to save your team from getting a delay of game.
Dirk, you won’t be missed.
