    When I was watching the beginning of the Simeon Rice press conference I thought that would be the same reaction the Sage has when they’re out of coconut doughnuts.

    Me and the old hound settled in to listen to our favorite podcast before bed last night. Good times listening to you guys discuss Simeon Rice and was struck by how long you guys have been covering and been fans of Buccaneer football. Talking about how pass rushers like Rice seem to be built a little differently from other players. Like maybe emotionally triggered somehow? And it makes me think about YaYa Diaby. I think he’s got a few more layers to peel than the average player. He might have a big year this year and we can all get a better idea of just who he is. I think if Kancey has the year we’re expecting and Reddick shows out and I know Walker is going to show his freak side. And way more competitive and healthy secondary. Who knows? The defense might be the story this year. And then this young team will be scary good. And we can all agree that is something we want to see.

    Simeon’s press conference was one of the best. A breath of fresh air to see raw emotions from the heart.

    I don’t think Baker would leave if Grizz was to get a head coaching job at the end of the season. Agreed, he knows the Bucs have a great roster.

    Good to hear Brady’s strongest trait. Have to agree with that.

    It’s a no to Von Miller.
