Bucs Have Released Chris Hovan
April 26th, 2010
Joe’s good friend, “The Big Dog,” Steve Duemig, reported on his Facebook account that Hovan has already been cut. Joe spoke to “The Big Dog,” and “The Big Dog” informed Joe that he had been in contact with an intimate of Hovan’s.
Some 20 minutes later, Adam Schefter, of the Bristol Bolsheviks, Twittered that Hovan “will be released today.”
There’s no more “will be” about it. Hovan is a former Bucs player.
This really isn’t much of a surprise since the Bucs drafted two defensive tackles with their first two picks last week in the NFL draft.
[Update: Joe’s friend Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network Twittered that B.J. Askew will join Hovan on the unemployment line today.]

Hovan played well when he was here, but this is not a suprise. Unfortunately, we all get old. It sucks!!

What is a “Bristol Bolshevik”?
April 26th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Any one of a number of degenerates that try to control thought at the four-letter outfit.

Based on my limited time visiting this blog, your excessive use of bad nicknames gives one flashbacks to a certain Brown University alumnus at that very network
hmmm

Indeed!
Not only does Joe come up with his own, Joe doesn’t try to make rhymes or butcher one’s name with some stupid ass obscure 1960s song long ago forgotten by 96 percent of the public.

Bristol Bolsheviks…..LOL…
Is good humor, my capitalist comrade!
Where is the Vodka?

I undersestimated the stupidity of the front office .
Even I assumed they wouldn’t be stupid enough to cut the only guy on our defense that even attempts to stop the run.
My bad.

Clayton may still have value, believe it or not, for a trade which is why he hasn’t been cut yet. He’s still relatively young. It’s POSSIBLE we could get a late draft pick from a team in need of a good…..blocker. 🙂

They’re not going to take him at the salary he’s currently at.

Pewter report says Aaron Sears has been cut.

so much for it being some insider info for Duemig ….

In the long ago, forgotten (by the Bucs) days, the veterans mentored the incoming rookies. But when you cut all the veterans, who is left to develop & train them at their positions? I watched young kids last year that really had talent. But they still looked bad even though you knew they had the skills. Guess I will watch the same thing this year.

Tampa2 — the counter to that argument is that some of those rookies/young guys looked realy bad because they never got a chance to play due to all the veterans
