“Defense. Defense. Defense.”
July 9th, 2011Loud, sweaty, and crazy is on display in this cut from the JoeBucsFan TV studios, as Joe comes after WDAE-AM 620 personality Justin “The Commish” Pawlowski for his A grade of the Bucs’ 2011 draft.
(Disclaimer: Yes, Joe’s aware The Commish calls Joe another name.)
(Disclaimer II: The Commish is not ill. There is no air conditioning blowing during taping in the JoeBucsFan TV studios.)

No offense Joe (great video by the way), but I am so sick and tired of talking about our draft and what we are going to do in free agency and everything. I just want them to finish this stupid CBA, like yesterday! I understand these matters take a long time to negotiate. However, it really pisses me off when they take off on the weekends. What better things do they have to do? They should be meeting every day all day until this thing is worked out. I don’t care any of the issues and I refuse to pick a side, I just want football. If they take away football from me this year, I think I may turn into a grouchy, negative, whiny little man (or more simply put, I may turn into Thomass).
Okay, I feel better now (but not really).

“A+ with flying colors out the ass”
HB, I agree with you. I’ve checking PFT every night thinking yesterday may be the day, but then it said no progress Friday, so they were taking the weekend off. What a crock of $h!t. They work 12 hours one day for publicity and want the World to thank them, then they work a couple hours the next day and decide to take a long weekend. What appeared to be a sense of urgency last week went right out the window in a matter of a couple hours. The wrong people are in charge of negotiations. They say it’s complicated and hard, and that’s another crock of $h!t. Take it line by line, slam it home, and get it done. It’s only hard because they make it hard. None of those Lawyers and @ssholes in the room know what hard really is, like most of the American People do right now. Goodell & Smith can take their Hard and shove up their A$$, all up in their A$$, as Chris Tucker says.

Best yet…comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera

Joe here,
@Hawaiian Buc — Well said.
@RastaMon — Stunned by the compliment. …Awaiting the next haiku.

how does having one arm shorter than the other hurt your conditioning? Your arm length doesn’t impact your ability to have great aerobic and anaerobic conditioning…it means you’re gonna stuggle with exercises that use a barbell…

Joe, you are really trimming up. Keep it up. You know the camera add’s 15 lbs. There is hope for you and Rachel afterall.
As for the Bucs, I like both arguments and yes the Bucs rolled the dice and it could hurt them over the course of the season (MAYBE). But the counterpoint was well said because these players both dominated at some time in college and are better than we have. While I was one of the biggest supporters of getting a speedster for the offense, I would much rather have a baller that can produce. Not just speed, drafting Dexter Jackson scarred me about speed only players. I also hope Bradford can earn a spot on game day because having two bruisers can really reinforce the direction of this offense. Not to mention if this guy is legit, the running game is going to scare teams into committing 8 or even 9 in the box. We will be fine!

Being the NFL draft day guru is like being the Emperor of the two out bunt. It happens once a year and then its gone. No sense in rehashing it, its done. After the CBA is done, rookies will be paid a pittance, and simply assigned to teams in an orderly fashion. They’ll be paid on a sliding scale. No need for sports agents or for draft gurus. They’ll sit on the bench for the first year without accumulating any positive statistics and then they’ll be forced to sign a multi year non-guaranteed contract for the balance of their short careers. Hopefully, they’ll be disabled enough to qualify for the post career dole.
Justin Paulosski and Joe both have what’s known as a “face for radio”. Both are very odd looking, and have very creepy stage presences. Its kind of like watching a Special Olympics 800 meter hurdles. You don’t want to laugh but then again, you can’t wait for it to end. Yet there are always suck ups complimenting them and saying, “Yes, you can do it!” like that odd character that always shows up in Adam Sandler movies. Justin and Joe, don’t ever quit your day jobs, you’ll need them more than ever.
Now I understand your resentment for ESPN, who will hire just about anyone who has a face. One great thing about ESPN is that you get to live in one of the most exciting places in the world, Bristol, Connecticut.

The commish is hillarious.

Joe enjoys a quality ripping even if it’s at his expense.

Didn’t realize Joe was down on this years draft. In due respect regardless of the site, I will take the Commish’s take on the draft. His in depth study and knowledge of college players demands respect and should be rewarded with a position with the Bucs front office. It doesn’t hurt that the Commish is so damn funny but don’t misinterpret his humor for lack of knowledge.

Joe here,
@Brad — Joe’s not down on the Bucs’ draft. Hardly. However, Joe wasn’t ready to dish out a glowing A grade like the Commish. Of course, everyone knows it’s early to grade a draft class, but we do it for fun. …Joe’s sure the Commish appreciates your call to work in the Bucs’ front office. Can’t imagine he’d pass on joining the bottom of the scouting totem pole.
