Bowers Suspended For Performance Enhancers

October 21st, 2014

BowersreturnsInsert your one-liners.

Da’Quan Bowers will sit for two games after getting pinched by the NFL.

The official line is a two-game suspension for performance enhancing drugs. NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport offered more.

Whatever. Bowers is a moron for getting in trouble like this. And whatever he took sure didn’t seem to work.

This is the last year of Bowers’ Bucs rookie contract. Joe suspects there won’t be any tears shed when he becomes a trivia question answer in a matter of months.

Yes, there’s a reason Bowers was the only current Buccaneer named to the Worst 20 Buccaneers of the past 10 years.

    How come Bowers gets suspended only 2 games but Michael Johnson has been suspended all season (except for 3 plays in Pittburgh) and no one one notices?

  2. Robert 9 Says:

    I think it was PED candy, cause it didn’t work.

  3. MTM Says:

    Bowers needs to request a refund for the PED’s. I think he was sold invisible pills. I haven’t notice him around what so ever.

  4. DWE Says:

    This does not come as a surprise. His awesome play on the field told me he had to be on some type of performance enhancer. He will be sorely missed and opposing QBs will sleep better for the next two games

  5. DB55 Says:

    Diuretic = water pills

    He was feeling bloated and not so fresh. Next week the other 51 players will get suspended too.

  6. RealityCheck Says:

    I wonder what PEDs he was covering up with his diuretic usage? O well, another one bites the dust, have fun on the couch next year.

  7. NJBucsFan Says:

    His performance is enhanced?

  8. jo_mama Says:

    Meh.

  9. BucFan20 Says:

    Yet another player brings more disgrace to our Bucs.

  10. canadian bucsfan Says:

    This guy continues to impress.

  11. HawaianCouch1987 Says:

    What an absolute BUST!!!! He is taking up space for a player that might actually help this team.

  12. Chris@Apple Roof Cleaning Says:

    Jeez, diruretics are not Steroids, people take them for high blood pressure.
    They make you shed water weight, so maybe they do make you a little faster, due to the weight loss.

  13. Pewter Jesus Says:

    He took the placebo

  14. Harry Says:

    OMG, Cheeseburger Bowers is such a joke. Since i can’t top any of the comments already posted, I simply request the Bucs cut him NOW.

  15. sam Says:

    Pathetic. Our players are cheating, and we still cant win.

  16. WalkdaPlank Says:

    Coulda fooled me. What performance?

  17. Bucsfan4lyf Says:

    Teddy Bridgewater is happy to hear these news, Bowers has been Balling
    #yearight #howishestillontheteam

  18. OB Says:

    Joe

    He was trying to void his piss poor performance.

    Cut him, he is too stupid to learn the book.

  19. Trubucfan22 Says:

    Micheal Sam is available. He’s not a bad pass rusher.

  20. C-Rock Says:

    I think he’s been taking Placebo cause his performance was not enhanced at all.

  21. Shawnbucfan Says:

    He plays for the bucs ???

  22. 77 bassguitarist Says:

    Hey Bowers do you need a bassist in you’re
    Gospel troupe?

  23. Joseph Mamma Says:

    Oh is this article in reference to Daquan “I lost my gifted starting job to Daniel ‘teo Neishem” Bowers? What a blow to the roster.

  24. Buc1987 Says:

    Bowers performance enhanced…that’s an oxymoron.

  25. BuccaneerBonzai Says:

    I dont care. He shouldn’t be on the team anywat

  26. Waterboy Says:

    He needs to sue his supplier for false advertisement on those PED’s because whatever he was taking didn’t quite work as expected for him.

  27. Buc1987 Says:

    Trubucfan22… that’s great sign him up for powder puff football then..

  28. SteveK Says:

    Sam showed more in his preseason opportunity then ANY pass rusher we have, aside from GMC.

    Worth a look see, IMO.

  29. DB55 Says:

    87

    In that case he would fit right in. PFUDR

  30. BucFan20 Says:

    DB55
    You beat me to it!!!

  31. Skyline Crew Says:

    Sam has been cut by two teams and you guys want him? This is why we suck.

  32. passthebuc` Says:

    Good night Irene.

  33. Luther Says:

    No reason to get on him for a diuretic. Probably trying to lose weight. His performance still stinks but he’s not the first to get busted for something like that.

  34. SteveK Says:

    SkylineCrew,

    Of the teams that cut Sam, one beat us and the other is the NFL’s lone 6 win team.

    Yes, we do suck.

  35. Chef Paul Says:

    I agree. Bring in Sam.

    The media frenzy has calmed down. What have we got to lose? More games? We can do that without him!!

  36. Mike J Says:

    These guys on water pills are trying to dilute their urine, so it won’t show enough of– whatever– to bust them.

  37. richardtyson Says:

    Mark Dominic is probably arguing that he only used the 51st overall pick for him and it’s not like Bowers had 2 bad knees.

  38. Shianowasaninsidejob Says:

    I had a feeling something was up with this guy back when his single sack of the season came from knocking Ben Roethlisberger down with a tsunami stream of urine.

  39. BucsQcCity Says:

    Mayock had a 3-5 rnd for dam. Sign him

    “I watched the tape and saw him at the Senior Bowl and have a pretty good feel for him, and my take is he’s a third- to fifth-round pick,’’ NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said, via Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Daily News. “If I were a team, I’d hope that I would look at him and say, ‘OK, this is what he is [as a player] and draft him in that range if he’s available.’ I think some teams are going to say, ‘Hey, I give the kid credit for coming out. I’d like a tough-minded individual like that in my locker room.’

  40. Wes Says:

    He should go and get his money back since it didn’t enhance his performance.
    This guy has been a major bust from the get go this was going to be his last year here in my opinion so I hope Lovie makes and example out of him and releases him.

  41. RealityCheck Says:

    Thank you Mike J. He’s not on the damn diuretics to lose water weight…this isn’t MMA.

  42. $acbuc$ Says:

    So Lovie was evaluating the steriod version of Bowers. He Did throw Meredith 3 feet with that old Reggie White move. He shood of got cut in the off season along with Dotson, Leonard Johnson, Keith Tandy, Luke Stocker, and everbody riding the pine. Foster aint mean enuff to play mike and he doesnt get off blocks. Gholston got 1 move on the pass rush (his famous bull rush) please show him something else. Nobody on the whole team can win a one on one battle consistantly.

  43. tweezydakidd Says:

    Totally agree trubuc! Sam looked better than every d-lineman we have. Bring in mike Sam! And quit being so dam homophobic! If he never wuda came out, I garuntee he would be playing for some team!

  44. billy buckaroo Says:

    What a stupid way to lose millions of dollars

  45. StPeteBucsFan Says:

    Wow just wow!!! If this is how he performs with enhancers just imagine. No we’ve already seen this.

    If he’s taken PEDS he should demand a refund!!! This is like popping Viagra and still having a limp….

  46. Architek Says:

    I think this is officially the no one cares reality for Bowers.

  47. Buc1987 Says:

    Sam will be on another practice squad pretty soon…only to be cut by that one as well. I suppose the same people want Tebow as well.

  48. DB55 Says:

    Tweezy

    Yup! Arthur Ashe, Greg Louganis, Martina navatalova, Darrell Revis. All have reached the top of their sport.

  49. ElioT Says:

    Aren’t diuretics for helping you poop?

    Seems like Bowers has had no problems taking a SH*T!!!! on the football field every Sunday.

    I don’t think Bowers is a bad dude, but he’s got “crap-for-brains” and doesn’t deserve to be in the NFL.

    Go Sucs!

  50. Andrew 1 Says:

    Performance enhancers?! More like performance reducers.

  51. DB55 Says:

    87

    You do realize who’s replacing him right? TJ Fukisuma or something like that. Why not bring in Sam? The kid has something to prove. If he wasn’t gay the SEC co-defensive player of the year would be a 1st round pick and a starter.

  52. DB55 Says:

    Funny thing is that this is on Lovie more than the players. Lovie told them to lose weight but didn’t help them manage it. SMH. Lovie is a damn fool.

  53. ElioT Says:

    51st overall?

    Nice one Dom… Douche!

    “We know knees”

    Go Sucs!

  54. Andrew 1 Says:

    You take one look at JJ Watt and you tell me that guy is not on performance enhancers. He cant even fit in his helmet he’s so bloated! Obviously cant know for sure, but if he does end up getting busted for it down the road, I won’t be surprised.

  55. Buc1987 Says:

    I’m not homophobic I think they should be treated just like any other person with an abnormality.

  56. DB55 Says:

    87

    Lmao. Again he’d fit right in (abnormality).

  57. tweezydakidd Says:

    Exactly DB55! Do they know how tough it is to get that honor in the best conference in college football?? Cmon man!!

  58. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    At least our cheerleaders should be safe with Sam…..but he will be very jealous that GMC is triple-teamed….

  59. Buc1987 Says:

    We’ll see if any of the other 30 teams pick him up..

  60. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Sam might make a really good tight end!!!

  61. j moné Says:

    Bring Michael Sam

  62. DallasBuc Says:

    87- being gay is no more an abnormality than being black or in the case of players in the NFL, being white. If Rod Marinelli thought enough of him to give him a look on their practice squad then there must be something there and considering the stench coming from our shiny new overpaid FA turd of an RDE I would happily welcome Sam to the team.

  63. Chef Paul Says:

    What have we got to lose?

    Cheap, young, player with a chip on his shoulder. And Fire. Could you imagine? A Dlineman with some fire. On this team? Oh no, we dont need non of that!!

  64. DB55 Says:

    Tbbucfan

    Smh. You ain’t no good man. Funny but no good.

  65. Buc1987 Says:

    DallasBuc …ya got me. It’s perfectly normal to stick your wee wee into a place where feces comes out. Yup sounds normal to me. I guess that’s what it was designed for in first place. Dual purpose. Sounds normal to me.

    Sounds damned abnormal to me…but to each his or her own I guess.

  66. Skyline Crew Says:

    If Sam hadn’t come out he would still be cut. haha. You guys and making excuses for him. No one cares if you are D player of the year in the SEC. If you can’t play ball you can’t play. Quite a few Heisman winners can’t play ball in the NFL either. Guess they should be given passes?

  67. DallasBuc Says:

    “…but to each his or her own I guess.”
    That’s exactly right

  68. DallasBuc Says:

    Skyline- “If Sam hadn’t come out he would still be cut. haha.”
    That unfortunately cannot be empirically proven but I like to believe that if Marinelli didn’t keep him then he didn’t show enough as a football player to remain. However, if someone like Buc1987 is making personnel decisions then you the man’s ability to play football is secondary to the company he keeps in his private life.
    You are right that plenty of great college football players were terrible pros and no one ever accused Sam of being great before he opened the closet door. What we will never really know is how good or bad this kid can be as a pass rusher because people’s prejudices will affect the evaluation process in all kinds of ways.
    I still think he could be more effective than the hot garbage that passes for defensive end pass rush on this sht hole Bucs team right now.

  69. Buc1987 Says:

    “However, if someone like Buc1987 is making personnel decisions then you the man’s ability to play football is secondary to the company he keeps in his private life.”

    DallasBuc not at all and that was my point when I said we’ll see if he gets picked up by the 30 other teams. Two teams let him go for a reason and I don’t think it had any bearing about what he does in his private life.

    I did however question his coming out at the time, right before the draft. I think he was seeking attention from his “fellows” within the community. I’m sure there were quite a few Michael Sam jersey’s sold even before he made the team.

    The one thing I am surprised about is how come he hasn’t contacted his lawyers claiming discrimination. I thought for sure that was coming down the pike. I guess not, but who knows. It could still happen.

    As far as me. I’ll continue to live in my happy little shell and not accept the normalcy Hollywood and TV has made it out to be. The more the crank it out as normal the more I’ll reject it. It has nothing to do with religion either. I’m not very religious. I have relatives that are gay, two of them. They’ve heard my stance, and surprisingly they understand where I’m coming from. We get along just fine and I’m pretty sure they don’t think of me as homophobic.(easy cop out word to label someone to try and make them feel wrong for thinking the way they do) I have my beliefs and they have theirs. It’s as simple as that.

    To me “straight” means normal. I wish the best for everyone in America no matter what they believe. It’s a common misconception about us conservatives.
    We’re not racists, we’re not bigot’s, we’re not anti-women and we’re not anti gay. We want everyone to prosper. United we stand.

    Oh well I’m done with this banter. I just felt I had to explain myself a little further as to where I was coming from. Sam was drafted in what the 7th round? He was a long shot to begin with.

  70. Luther Says:

    Buc1987 I’m not a conservative and my stance is the same as yours. I resent the fact that its somehow a liberal thing. What people do in their bedrooms is not my business and I don’t want alternative lifestyles thrown in my face every time I look at a TV program. Keep Sam away from this team, we have enough distractions.

  71. DallasBuc Says:

    Buc1987- on the matter of what is “normal” it is very clear that you and I will disagree so no point in rehashing it. Sam’s decision not to hide who he is for the sake of straight people and to his own detriment was not done so he could file a lawsuit. That’s just ridiculous and as you now can see also untrue. I am not one of those people that tries to silence differing points of view and have called many people out on this site for trying to do that sht to me when I dared suggest that McCown, Johnson and Collins aren’t the answer. So while we tend to agree on how poorly the Bucs have been run since the Lovie era began it doesn’t look like we are going to agree on this particular social issue that up until now has nothing to do with my terrible favorite football team. All that being said I absolutely wish Sam the best and hope that he gets every opportunity that he deserves as a football player only and not as an activist to prove his ability to play in this league. Everything that I have heard him say indicates that is all he is after as well. And whether Sam is considered in Tampa or not it still doesn’t change the fact that Michael Johnson cannot rush the passer.

  72. tweezydakidd Says:

    And by the way 87… Conservatives are racist bigots!! #trayvon martin..# Michael brown.. No juctice!! Let them wuda been white??? Sorry Joe. Sick of 87!!!

  73. tweezydakidd Says:

    Wow Joe! Why delet my comment when ppl say sh*t all the time. I visit your site several times a day!! Guest you just like 87.. Birds of a feather,, flock together. #sad

  74. Trubucfan22 Says:

    And here, the way 87 talks about Glennon, I coulda sworn he had the hots for him.

  75. phil Says:

    It’s good to see Bowers is making an effort to get better.

  76. Skyline Crew Says:

    Tweezydakidd, Conservatives are not racist bigots. Trayvon Martin, really? He was shot by a registered Democrat. Oh, and he was hispanic. Michael Brown, really? He allegedly attacked an officer and was shot for it. Evidence has proven that and now they are just waiting on the court to make a decision. Trying to make a mole hill out of nothing. It would appear that you have racist thoughts against white people.

  77. tweezydakidd Says:

    Not true skyline! Check your facts. Trayvon was was stalked and killed! And were in the h*ll make you think Zimmerman was a democrat??? ## tipica repugs! Oh by the way mike brown hands were in the air when he was killed, according to several witnesses. If ur not a racist bigot,, call out your party!!
