    Just listen to them chortling about the fans disgust for Bowles.
    These are the same people screaming about the Swiss cheese pee wee league caliber defense of Toad Bowels.

    They have fully swallowed the bait from the Glazer kids that put out the free buffet.

    What a joke.

    Spirited podcast with “flowery” being the word of the day. Love it!

    I am still disappointed about McDaniel, and have to agree that Zac is 2nd tier. You never know though. He does have a connection with Baker, so we will see what happens.

    Be surprising if Reddick comes back. Is Teddy coming back? Love Baker’s energy right now.

    Carlton Davis definitely found his fitting team.

    Interesting hearing about all the stops that the Giants did to obtain Harbaugh. Calanari is a delicacy too. Feast of the Seven Fishes for Christmas Eve!

    The refs. There should be some type of documentary series on them. The good and the bad.

    Ira, Marty Supreme was great. I’m sad you didn’t like it. And there was a character named Ira!!!

    Joe, since you brought up that Brandon Cooks catch when he went to the ground with possession, rolled over, and the ball was pulled away and called an interception, I remembered this happened to Jalen McMillan as well…

    Same horsecrap call. I lost my freaken mind and posted it on my Facebook.

    Go back & review the game on 12/23/2024 against Dallas Cowboys…

    McMillan caught the ball right at the goal-line, went to the ground with possession, rolled over, and the ball was pulled away by the corner. Also called interception…it was a simultaneous catch, and refs screwed us…

    They need to fix this joke of a rule.

    How long does the receiver need to possess the ball while on the ground?? That’s the question!!

    A lot of people think the Robinson hire is 2nd tier. While that is true, did anyone realistically think Monken or McDaniel would come here, given the other opportunities they have? I think the Bucs got the best realistic firt they could with a guy who has called plays. I thought Tampa might wait til Monday and ask to speaak to LA Ram asst Scheelhaase but they did not.

    Philly fan wanted Robinnson after the Eagles did not land McDaniel. The Eagle fans are getting very impatient, unhappy that the Bucs “poached” one of their top remaining candidates (according to InsidetheIggles). Funny to see that other fans besides Buc fans are angry at their club and ownership.
