Vita Vea

Bad news from Bucco Bruce Arians after today’s bad-news loss in Washington.

Manbeast nose tackle Vita Vea was carted off the field with seconds remaining in the game, and Arians said at his postgame news conference that Vea left with knee issue. “He felt something in his knee but we don’t know what it is.”

As painful as the Bucs’ loss is, this could be the worst news of the day.

Joe has fingers crossed.

What’s going on?

Dave Moore has been around the NFL block a few times. Built himself a 14-year career at tight end. Started 107 games, played in 220.

And given how much Moore loves the Bucs, Joe is confident he wasn’t trying to con anyone with his comments in the final seconds of the ugly loss to Washington today on the Buccaneers Radio Network. [read more]
