Stats show Lovie’s flippant public attitude over CB Johnthan Banks is terribly unwarranted.
It just drives Joe nuts how, for whatever reason publicly, Lovie Smith seems to have it in for cornerback Johnthan Banks, the third-year man out of Mississippi State.

The Orlando Conundrum
September 12th, 2015
Mickey is flummoxed why he cannot watch the Bucs Sunday.
Of course, Joe later will post the weekly in-season TV map for Bucs fans to learn where in the country they can lay prone on their Barcalounger and watch the Titans-Bucs game without the need for DirecTV.
