BREAKING: Fitz’s Beard Stays
May 23rd, 2017
Not shaving.
We have breaking news at the JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters news desk.
Ryan Fitzpatrick will keep his well-coiffed beard.
The new Bucs backup quarterback stood before the Tampa Bay pen and mic club for the first time this afternoon, and among the probing questions he fielded was would the oppressive heat and humidity of a Florida summer lead him to shave off his trademark beard.
Fitzpatrick said, in so many words, Florida heat and humidity be damned, the beard is staying.
Additionally, Fitzpatrick, displayed a welcome wry sense of humor. He noted that winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter had been calling Fitzpatrick for some time to lure him to Tampa Bay. Fitzpatrick mocked Koetter on Tuesday afternoon saying Koetter, in reality, is 16 years too late. Fitzpatrick said he wanted to play for Koetter at Arizona State but his desire was unrequited.

He looks like one of the Sons Of Anarchy. LOL. I wonder how many creatures are lurking in that beard?

new Hard Knocks subplot: Joe Hawley\Ryan Fitzpatrick battle of the beards

There should be a “Team Wide Pact” at the end if Training Camp when the final roster is determined. If the Bucs win the Super Bowl, Fitz shaves his beard.

Speaking for Pablo
“Sometimes vagrants wander into Pablo’s table dancing joint…..they don’t look much better than Fitz in this picture…..Pablo would have the bouncer throw him out. Pablo doesn’t allow any foolishness near his table.”

Not a good look but it’s his choice..

That’s a thick head of hair.

He should play for the Vikings. Has the look.

He’ll change his mind in training camp. He should shape that bad boy into a point or paint it red. He looks like he has a tree sloth down there.

If he and Hawley accidentally touched beards, all kinds of weird mutant critters might result.

Hope he doesn’t get it tangled up with Hawley’s. Speaking of which, I’d like to see the whole O line sporting beards…rough and tough look. I think most already do anyway.

Men touching beards sounds gayer than gay sex.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

One would never guess that he is an Ivy League graduate.
