Gruden and Garcia may not be chatting much on Sunday, the Tampa Tribune reports.

Ugh. The Tampa Tribune is reporting Brian Griese took all the snaps in Wednesday morning’s walkthrough practice.

The report speculates Griese will start Sunday, but Joe’s not convinced. If Garcia trots out there this afternoon or Thursday, then he’ll surely go. Gruden has to know Garcia represents this team’s best chance to get to the Super Bowl. One only hopes.

Joe can’t imagine Garcia’s going to sit out with a twisted ankle while his contract year goes down the drain.

Oxycontin and a good tape job are in your future, Mr. Garcia.
