Odd Daily Obsession For Lavonte David
May 1st, 2026
While this post is not about football, Joe wonders if retired Lavonte David is squirming eating Cap’n Crunch every morning thinking about playing with Alex Anzalone, Rueben Bain, Keionte Scott, Josiah Trotter, A’Shawn Robinson and 11-sack master Al-Quadin Muhammad this season.
If football isn’t 100 percent out of David’s system, Joe suspects the Bucs legend has thought about calling Todd Bowles and asking for a job.
And yes, David eats Cap’n Crunch every morning.
That was a revelation yesterday from Bucs edge rusher YaYa Diaby during his visit with the Up & Adams show on FanDuel TV.
Diaby was asked to share a David nugget or story that would enlighten fans about iconic No. 54, Diaby explained that the Bucs cafeteria supplied David with his daily fix of Cap’n Crunch for breakfast. In fact, per Diaby, David would eat nothing else for breakfast.
This is stunning, considering David is known for taking great care of his body. Man, Joe wonders how many servings David downs.
For those unaware, Cap’n Crunch is as processed and sugar-filled as it gets for a cereal. It’s certainly not part of the famed Tom Brady Effect that Bucs officials swore would permeate One Buc Palace for years to come.
Earlier this week, Joe learned, via The Rich Eisen Show, that Todd Bowles eats a Kit Kat or Nestle Crunch.

LVD will still come around, rehab his knee and mentor Trotter.
Nickerson-Brooks-David…..Trotter?
Could the tradition continue?
I hope so!
Go Bucs!

Also on the Eisen show, Bowles said he ALWAYS gets the right-sided seat at front of the bus. ALWAYS. The only time he gives up that spot is when the owners are on the bus.
Bowles said he is superstitious and his bus seat and candy bars are musts for him and if he doesn’t get them, he blames his assistant if there was a loss that week.
Interesting behind-the-mind stuff of our coach.

Tom called soda poison once, but still took Pizza Huts’ money lol.
I won’t be shocked to see David at camp some time this summer, actually expecting it to be 100% honest.

Denver Broncos great WR Rod Smith
Was a UDFA from tiny Missouri Southern State
All he ate was McDonald’s, day and night
And he rarely missed a game, was consistent
He retired as the greatest WR in Denver Broncos history
I think an athlete workout routine is what really keep him in shape
You can eat healthy and not workout as much
Which is probably worse than eating unhealthy and working out a lot

I hope LVD is still a part of the organization (coaching, mentoring or leadership).

Cap’n Crunch, the only cereal in the world that can make your gums bleed.

LVD has to be extra careful of Cap’n Crunch
Because diabetes runs in his family
I stay away from all sugary products

Let’s not use a roster spot for a 37 year old LB. Maybe they can add him to the staff as an assistant like Todd’s son. Younger and faster not older and slower. That’s the reality in the NFL.
