“Now Appearing At The Tampa Chucklehut… “
October 24th, 2010
Oh, that Raheem Morris. He’s an excitable one.
The Bucs coach with the infectious personality who will back his team to crazy proportions actually tossed out a new one-liner he’s been working on for his next Chucklehut appearance by claiming after the game there is no team better in the NFC than his resilient Bucs, documented by good guy Stephen Holder of the St. Petersburg Times.
Raheem Morris was as pumped as ever after the Bucs secured their last-minute victory here at Raymond James Stadium today. And he wasn’t shy about making a few bold statements about his young team, which is fast becoming one of the surprise stories of this NFL season.
“I like where we are,” Morris said. “We’re 4-2. We’re the best team in the NFC. Yeah, I said it. We’re excited.”
Now Joe has learned that Morris also tried out some other one-liners but Joe cannot find any reference to them online. Here are some Joe heard of:
“I come from a rough neighborhood, Irvington, N.J., yeah. The kids there are mean. Why, they are so mean they used to tape worms to the sidewalks just to watch robins get hernias these kids are so mean.
“I’m telling ya,’ Irvington is a rough neighborhood — tough! What would you expect from Jersey? I once put my hand in wet cement and felt another hand.
“Dogs are tough too in Irvington. Their favorite bone is their master’s arm.”
Please remember to tip the waitresses and bartenders folks.
Now Joe knows Morris was just having fun. He can’t possibly believe his team is the best in the NFC when just last week no less than a division foe completely seal-clubbed the Bucs.
Know what? I bet his players will be ready to beat themselves up and work like maniacs in practice this week after hearing their coach claim they are the best in the conference.
Since we’re on the subject of comedy and one-liners, how about some Rodney?

You know something Joe, with Blount in there, Raheem may be right ? Many of us there at Tampa Stadium saw a completely different Bucs team once Blount got into the game.
The B Train seemed to electrify Tampa Stadium, and I think the Bucs fed off that energy.
The second half Bucs were a different team, and I must give Raheem credit for the adjustments he made.

Apple Roof Cleaning:
You do remember last Sunday, right?
Jim Brown running for the Bucs wouldn’t have helped the way the Saints offense chain-whipped the Bucs.

I think Apple Roof Cleaning is a front business for selling the sticky icky. He’s definitely on something.

Joe…I am a bit disappointed in you. The Browns handled the Saints this week, so why the sarcasm. Come on man we ar 4 – 2, who has a better record?

McBuc:
A team that is the best in its conference does not get its arse beat in at home by a division foe, sorry.
October 24th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
I agree Joe, but the article was over the top sarcasm. No offense, you know I love the site.
October 24th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Oh, and the Bucs beat the Saints in NO last year, not an arse kicking, but a loss none the less. Any given Sunday Joe…you know that!
October 24th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Dunno Joe,
We beat the Saints last year (ok, so it wasn’t a chain beating) on their home field and they went on to win the big one.
I am not saying I think the Bucs are the best in the NFC, but I can

(Sorry) see how Raheem doesn’t min poking the media a bit.
I liked it, even though the comment was over the top.

Raheem is….eminently quotable, to say the least.
October 25th, 2010 at 2:15 am
Raheem’s press conferences are a million times better than Gruden’s. Gruden always made it very obvious he didn’t want to be there. I’m sure all coaches hate having to do a stupid press conference every day, but at least Raheem shows some personality and makes it watchable. Even if you don’t like him, you have to admit he has some great/funny quotes.

This is how we’re going to get all that media attention so many of you have been clamoring for. Rah soon will become a bit of a media darling for all his cookie remarks.

chriss chase is all over this story over on yahoo’s shutdown corner.he has a lot of hate for Cadilac and our running game guess he didn’t see any highlights of Blount.

he has a lot of hate for Cadilac and our running game guess he didn’t see any highlights of Blount.
Does he “hate” Cadillac or does he “hate” the fact Cadillac can’t run the ball any longer?
Big difference.

“the teams rushing attack relies on cadillacs rickety knees and 2.5 ypc” sounds like hate to me since he didn’t even mention blount
October 25th, 2010 at 11:53 am
So truth is now hate? Really?
Where exactly in that statement is an inaccuracy?
