Chucky Celebrates Bucs’ Schedule Release
May 15th, 2025
“C’mon, Todd, you know Josh Grizzard can use help. I’m tired of smelling Dave Portnoy’s whiskey breath!”
Maybe you have seen Chucky’s “unboxing” series he does for Barstool Sports. Maybe you haven’t.
For those that haven’t, teams, largely college football teams, send him a box of gear and equipment (sometimes two) to flaunt on social media.
Joe swears the Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach will never, ever have to buy another shirt, a pair of sweat pants or another hoodie the rest of his life.
It’s a great way of marketing for schools and even NFL teams. Chucky even gets boxes of gear from baseball and hockey teams. It led to Chucky being some sort of unofficial mascot for the St. Louis Blues and had him doing a pregame pep rally inside their arena.
The series also demonstrates that Chucky either loses all his box cutters or the guy should never have anything more than a steak knife in his hands. He’s already admitted he’s sliced himself opening a box.
It’s a fun series. So the Bucs decided to join the fun.
To announce the Bucs’ 2025 schedule, they sent Chucky a box with different pieces of gear or memorabilia to symbolize who the Bucs are playing and when.
At one point, Chucky holds up a knife he used to open up the Bucs’ box and bragged how the team has weapons. They sure do.
Anyway, Joe thought fans might like to watch Chucky unbox his gift of Bucs’ 50th Anniversary gear and also announce the schedule.
It’s got Joe feelin’ nicey. 🙂

I was going to say about that BIG “Thanksgiving Game” against the RAMS was definitely NOT happening, since “Pat” on WDAE stated that HE had some kind of “inside information” on it. I said then, that there was absolutely NO WAY. Now, look… I have nothing against the guy, other than knowing that HE is lazyAF. He is NOT a “details” guy, and really knows nothing about nothing. But, that’s ok tho… Even, HE admits that all the time, when it comes to just about EVERYTHING (especially anything outside of TB pro sports). I just knew that HE would’ve been a VERY easy target for something like that, & was going to worn about it… I just got tied-up at the time, and forgot. LoL.

Love me some gruden and sheesh tough schedule

I think he should bring in Kay Adams to open everything for him. We can’t have him going on IR ya know.
Go Bucs!

Any preconceived notions I may have had about Gruden-Poof! Gone! What a great watch!
May 15th, 2025 at 7:25 am
Man, if you could bottle Chucky’s energy and enthusiasm, you could power a large city. Like Tampa, for example!
May 15th, 2025 at 7:42 am
This is Great!!

What mroons the Glazers were for firing him and purging the Bucs into the lost decade.
May 15th, 2025 at 9:21 am
Embrace the 50 year anniversary!!!
Glad to see Simeon get into the Ring of Honor
May 15th, 2025 at 9:47 am
That doll is like a Mini Me to Gruden
May 15th, 2025 at 9:53 am
Great to see our Bucs bring Chucky back into the fold.
May 15th, 2025 at 9:54 am
That was awesome!!! Always looked forward to his post-game conferences. I was in Philly that glorious day and i’ll never forget Chucky running down the sideline during Ronde’s pick 6!! Go Bucs
May 15th, 2025 at 10:04 am
Hey Chucky IS a part of our history PERIOD! I love hearing him say “WE” he’s part of the Krew and will forever be! I really hope the Bucs can find a place for him within the family like BA he needs to be a part of the Bucs and “WE” need him as part of the Bucs…. Bring Chucky home The RIng of Honor… Check. What’s next??? I got a feeling! GO BUCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 15th, 2025 at 10:08 am
I’m glad the Glazers decided to un-cancel Coach Gruden. It’s a good thing.
Who all is going to Buffalo? Last chance at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
May 15th, 2025 at 10:21 am
LMAO! so funny and entertaining
May 15th, 2025 at 10:24 am
I think Chucky must be drooling in envy for what the Griz has to work with.
Chucky could only dream of soooo many offensive weapons. I’m not a huge Chucky fan but I feel certain his offense would be en fuego with the Bucs talent!
May 15th, 2025 at 10:37 am
Awesome video go Bucs!!! I love it!!!!

Great skit by Gru. Too bad he is making it common practice to whore himself out for these type of videos for any and all teams, college or pro. He’s evolved into a bit of a cartoon character, which is a shame because he’s such a great football guy.
May 15th, 2025 at 11:12 am
I loved it. Have watched it twice and it hasn’t gotten old yet. This is “old school” hype. Gruden could not have done better. He even remembered our song. I am so glad he is back in our good graces!
May 15th, 2025 at 11:16 am
Coach knocked it out of the box! Go Bucs!
May 15th, 2025 at 1:28 pm
Nicey writing and very nicey performance!
If only as a stunt, the Bucs should put Chucky on retainer to come up with a “Chucky Play of the Week.”
Succeed or fail, the reaction cameos should be golden!
“Dude! You call that a block??? I call a play that brilliant and that’s all you have for a block??? Awww, man!!!”
“What are your hands for if you’re not going to catch the ball???”
“A Chucky score! A Chucky score! Now that’s how you execute a really great play call!!”
May 15th, 2025 at 1:36 pm
Wish the Glazers would send me some Bucs swag, dang.
Not like Gruden doesn’t have enough already…

Gruden’s stuff on Barstool has been great. His QB camp stuff was awesome, the few times I’ve heard him on other shows he’s been fun – needs to stay away from corporate sports world, because when he’s cutting lose, he’s so much more entertaining.
