The Philly woman busted for trying to sell her body for World Series tickets

The wackiest news item of the day made Joe take pause and remember the glory years of the Buccaneers.

A few memories stand out:

Joe recalls literally circling the stadium on foot before a Monday night game against the Steelers. Joe had his rich uncle with him who was in town briefly and was willing to pay just about anything for a pair of tickets.

The Bucs were such rock stars that the pair of tickets was nowhere to be found.

Then there was the home game against the Jets during that era. Joe recalls a fabulous tailgate and then the skies opened up for a torrential downpour. Joe walked through waist high water from the Hillsborough Community College parking lot a couple hundred yards with lightning in the sky just to get to the game.

Then there was the time when Joe met a hottie wearing a Warren Sapp jersey and literally nothing else. THAT was a tailgate party.

Back to today’s funny news story. It involves a not-so-young lady in Philadelphia who tried to sell her body and its talents for World Series tickets.

Joe hopes the Bucs one day get good enough that such rabid fan passion will return here again.
