Vegas, Baby!

LeGarrette Blount on Tom Brady.
One guy who personified the ineptitude of the Lost Decade was former Bucs stud running back LeGarrette Blount.
Blount had a strong rookie year for the Bucs in 2010 when the Bucs flirted with a division title, only to lose a wild card berth tiebreaker to the Packers who went on to win the Super Bowl. Blount was a 1,000-yard rusher in 13 games.
What if, indeed.
Blount was shipped to the Belicheats after being labeled a cancer by those who pulled strings within the Bucs organization. That cancer turned out to be a three-time Super Bowl winner. Blount won two rings with the Belicheats and one with the Eagles.
Blount also led the league in 2016 with 18 rushing touchdowns.
Blount, along with others like Aqib Talib and Michael Bennett — and several others — helped proved not only did the Bucs not know how to recognize talent in the draft, they had no clue how to deal with people or to develop that talent.
The Lost Decade!
Why is Joe bringing this up? Well, Blount spoke to Christopher Price of the Boston Globe about — who else? — his former teammate, Tom Brady.
Blount offered his very unique take on how Brady will select his next team.
Blount confessed he’s not 100 percent sure if Brady will play for the Bucs next year. But Blount did say there was “an extremely high chance” Brady will play in 2023.
So where? Simple. It’s Vegas, baby, he said. But why? Well, the answer is right in front of our faces.
Blount noted Brady is now a single guy and likely wants to return to living the life of a swinging bachelor. Few cities are better than Las Vegas for a wealthy single guy, Blount said. A guy like Brady who has Eastern European beauty queens/Instagram models fawning over his every move, would be an exceptional swordsman there.
Simply put, Blount is keeping it real.
Joe always liked Blount.
“I think he goes to Vegas.”@LG_Blount makes his prediction for where Tom Brady will play in 2023.

Everybody knows he will go to the 49ers. The 49ers has been in need of a QB for some years now. They could have won at least 2 SBs if they had got Brady. If they don’t go after Brady now it means they are more dysfunctional than the Bucs, which I doubt.

One of my all time favorite TB Buc plays is Blount’s hurdle in Arizona!

Psychologists call that “Projection”. I think Tom stays home.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:19 am
Brady just posted that he’s retiring.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:20 am
Let me see….who was the GM making most of those bonehead moves?…….
I don’t know about anybody else but these multiple…..seemingly endless….opinion on Brady opinions are starting to be very comical.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:20 am
Just retired.

Opinions on Brady
February 1st, 2023 at 8:22 am
Brady announced he’s retiring on his IG.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:23 am
Every emotional retirement too. A bit surprising.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:26 am
This didn’t age well…
February 1st, 2023 at 8:26 am
BREAKING NEWS….Fox News reports that TB12 has officially retired.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:27 am
Lmao might as well take this post down.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:27 am
Good. Now we can move forward with this team. Start dumping old vet contracts.
Time to get younger. Way younger.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:29 am
Brady retired?
Until when ?
February 1st, 2023 at 8:29 am
@joe Tom Brady retired on his Instagram . Pretty solemn what is next
February 1st, 2023 at 8:30 am
Brady won’t be playing for anyone next year. He’s retiring for good. See his instagram account.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:30 am
Derek Carr will play QB for Tampa this year. Best available FA
February 1st, 2023 at 8:31 am
Brady retired.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:31 am
Bllomberg reporting Brady retired from NFL.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:32 am
I remember being mad as h3ll when we let him go….that was a stupid decision, but worked out great for him.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:33 am
And Brady retires….A dam fine run Sir!
February 1st, 2023 at 8:34 am
Brady retires let the rebuild begin
February 1st, 2023 at 8:35 am
And the Exodus of Patriots fans begins. Not a moment too soon.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:36 am
I’ve never seen Joe this late to the table. Must be typing a tribute piece.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:37 am
Tom…thank you! You the best!
We love you!
February 1st, 2023 at 8:37 am
It took the loser Bucs organization and coaching staff to kill the GOAT. Bas@##ds!
February 1st, 2023 at 8:37 am
Thanks for the SB Tom and good luck!
February 1st, 2023 at 8:37 am
Wow. Brady is done. I had a feeling he was and I am glad he finally made the announcement.
Time to move on and rebuild this team.
His $35M dead cap hit will hurt but it’s time to get our salary cap situation under control and clear the books…
February 1st, 2023 at 8:38 am
Well, Brady retirement should put an end to the endless speculation.
If he plays, he stays….still stands.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:38 am
I bet Licht just choked on his cherrios!
February 1st, 2023 at 8:38 am
Good for Brady! Thankful for the SB and two NFC South champion wins. Saw him at playoffs and will miss seeing his LFG shout and all he has done. The GOAT! Now the Bucs can be honest and rebuild. Look to the future and build towards it. Keep the young talent and let the older talent go to FA (Keep David and White).
February 1st, 2023 at 8:39 am
That piece should have been written a week ago and stored in a safe place in case this happens.
Guys, Joe isn’t working on timetables and aspiring to spit up “Breaking News!” that’s breaking everywhere without a little context. Joe loves the passion of Bucs fans, but Joe never has been about that. –Joe
February 1st, 2023 at 8:39 am
Steven007 – Amen.
But they are as split over Mac Jones as Bucs fans were over Winston.
The Pats are just another team since Brady left.
Alas, so are we.
February 1st, 2023 at 8:40 am
Thanks for the awesome times Tom! Restored some pride and relevance to our team, even if only for a brief run.
February 1st, 2023 at 9:11 am
Now it really gets interesting.
February 1st, 2023 at 9:58 am
Reading this after the Brady Retirement Announcement makes Blount sound like an ID10T.
February 1st, 2023 at 12:24 pm
Moving in from the players mentioned were the ultimate responsibility of the worst GM in Bucs history, the legendary 28-52 Mark Dumbernik.
Just awful, so over his head. Believed his own press clippings.
February 1st, 2023 at 9:15 pm
Adams Angry: Yes, Blount is an idiot, but so are a lot of other’s opinions on what Brady would do.
