Wright gave him the pill!!

When he was as USC, he was caught selling ecstasy or sth like that.

Wright needs to get his sh** together real quick.

A simple google search can accomplish a lot in the 21st century.

@FactsMatter – First, Dell is a columnist. Does Joe think Dell is out there on some of these connections in the story. Sure. But it’s still worth reading, which, of course, is Joe’s opinion.

Also, one can be driving while intoxicated and pass a test at a police station. The two are HARDLY connected with certainty in the eyes of the law. That’s why there are field tests, drug tests, etc.

Unless you’ve seen the police affidavits, it’s going to be very hard for you (like Dell or anyone) to claim with certainty what Wright did or did not do at the scene. And to say with certainty that a test is more accurate at a later time at a police station versus at a scene, is a very difficult assertion.

If “Facts Matter,” which is your name, then you should be more careful with them.

Joe was simply linking to a story he found interesting. It doesn’t go much further than that.

“not one Bucs official or NFL spokesman has denied Glazer’s report.” They CANNOT comment on player issues in this regard to confirm OR deny.

Joe can assure you if Glazer was wrong, it would have been minutes, not hours, for the Bucs to respond how Glazer’s report was erroneous.

Case in point: A few years ago, there was a wrong report — on the Dan Sileo Show of all places, if you can imagine — that Tanard Jackson had failed a urine test. Within 15 minutes Joe received an email from the Bucs flatly, strongly denying Jackson had failed any such test.

(Ironically, about three weeks later, Jackson did fail a test.)

Whenever a Bucs player is wrongly accused of something as serious as a test result, the Bucs — if not the NFL’s — spokespeople jump into overdrive.

In Wright’s case, not one Bucs (or NFL) employee, on or off the record, has even suggested Glazer was off the mark.

Add to the fact Joe cannot remember Glazer being wrong on a scoop, it speaks for itself.

No. It’s not. It’s a hit piece with very shoddy reporting if one wishes to call it that.
Case in point…
“He reportedly refused to sumbit to a Breathalyzer or field sobriety test and eventually the district attorney decided not to file formal charges.”

The initial news reports were wrong (what a shocker). Wright willingly went to the police station and submitted to the more accurate testing there… The results were such that it wasn’t a case of the DA “DECIDING” but the evidence showing numerically that he was not driving while intoxicated.
YOU should know that. And YOU should be calling out a shoddy writer.

So the DUI nonsense shouldn’t be brought up at all. Same goes for the other nonsense.
Honors student in High School. Honors student at UNLV. Yeah – a real troubled PROVABLE past.

“not one Bucs official or NFL spokesman has denied Glazer’s report.” They CANNOT comment on player issues in this regard to confirm OR deny.

How about real football writing on how Tampa will shuffle players to replace Wright? It’s not just a matter of plugging one CB in for another? Who covers the slot on pass plays? Can Johnson play well on the other side of the field? Or will Johnson stay in Talib’s spot and Talib moves to cover Wright’s?

Can his rear first and then we will talk about Talib. Dominik and his FA gems, even the year he had found 2 great contributors, he had to get that signature scrub FA he signs every year.

@Joe, I don’t remember his contract but doesn’t Dominick have a policy of not giving up guaranteed contracts plus front-loading them?

Joe isn’t privy to the exact details of Eric Wright’s contract, sorry.

We need to get rid of them both.

First, Talib does not deserve a pass. The fact he is still in a Buc uniform is completely on Dom. He was a complete loser when drafted and nothing has changed.

As for Wright, if his contract does not provide the Bucs with out for banned substance violations, then Dom is a fool. His history was well known too.

Ironic it is that Dom’s 3rd round bust, the sober, and hapless, Myron Lewis is still taking up a roster spot.

I never liked this signing. Not for the amount of money they gave him. I thought it was a desperation move.

It was, and Joe never had a problem with it.

Think about it: You were a rotten team in desperate (no argument there) need of a corner with a new college coach coming in. Not many corners (the divas of the defense) are going to jump at that, um, opportunity, so yeah, Dominik had to overpay in order to get someone in.

Joe understands. Think about it, would you rather Dominik over pay for Wright, or save cash and start Myron Lewis?
