“I Love Him To Death”

June 7th, 2011

Like legions of virile men, Joe watches NFL Network and saw Ronde Barber on the air the last two nights.

On Sunday, Barber sat in on the “reaction show” for the unveiling of players 50 through 41 in the series Top 100 Players of 2011, as voted by current NFL players. Barber was appalled that horny-sleazy Ben Roethlisberger showed up in that group, saying the Steelers sinnner was far better than that ranking.

Yesterday, Barber joined the Total Access crew and sat down with Rich Eisen to talk all things Bucs. The video is here. Joe suggests you watch it.

Barber touches on Raheem Morris’ roots as Mike Tomlin’s “coffee-getter guy” and proceeds to give his take on Aqib Talib, about whom Barber says “I love him to death.” Barber references the somewhat bizarre and unbelievable St. Pete Times report of the imminent demise of Talib’s Tampa Bay career saying, “I don’t think that we’ll lay him out there.”

Barber also offers his take on Tiki Barber (second video in the link above). Reading between the lines of that interview, Ronde sure sounds like a guy who’s not prepared to retire after the 2011 season.

    Fixed, and thanks for bringing this to Joe’s attention. Joe was distracted by his little Joes and didn’t do the spellcheck.

    Just for that, Joe will watch Sabby the Goat “highlights” as penance for the next 30 minutes.

    Be careful or you’ll be holding a tearful press conference with Andrew Breitbart

    Barber is simply removing all doubt about his hall of fame credentials…the longer he plays the more iconic he’s becoming. His stats should get him in but his longevity will guarantee it.

    LOL! The only thing missing from Breitbart’s repertoire is a Matt Drudge fedora.

    Ronde has just gotta be considered as one of the all time great Buccaneers. Both off and on the field, he has been such a great person to have in the Community. God willing that I am at his hall of Fame induction. I hope he plays another year. Everytime he steps on the field, is a good day to be a Bucs fan!

    I watched Ronde last night too, glued to the TV. It’ great to finally see some Bucs on Total Access. Freeman should be next.
