Tanard Jackson- 4 game suspension.
This is the second time T-Jax has tested positive because the first time, the results are not released. "The One", the head coach defended T-Jax on his August 19th presser, saying he drafted him, he put his arm around him yesterday, and today and he'll support him all the way to his comeback after the 4 game suspension. Was that a green light for other Bucs in favor with the "One" to start juicing because he's got your back? Jon Gruden was let go because he and Bruce Allen would have wanted to spend the salary cap money the Bucs had this year (nearly 60 million) , and the Glazers simply don't have it to spend. The Glazers will sell this team within 2 years.
Aqib Talib- 2 misdemeanor arrests last night
There are alot of different stories coming out about this. A cabbie who had been working as a cabbie for 3 days claims assault. The original story said they were arrested in Tampa but he was booked into Pinellas county jail. Why not go to Orient Road? A video on the Slant pete Times shows the cabbie talking about how he was driving at 70 mph. Where exactly on 275 was he driving 70? The area leading up to the Howard Franklin? Over the Howard Franklin? And a cabbie that has three days experience has the street sense to tell just how drunk someone is. Please. I smell bullshit on this one. He immediately called an attorney. Then promptly showed his ear to the St. Pete Times. Hey, douche bag, you wanna see a lump, check out the lump on my head as a result of a jewfish. Man up and drive the damn cab.
Talib is a screw up, but at least he had enough common sense on the night training camp ended and was out partying with his buds, to get a taxi. He just got a gold digging taxi driver. If he had been drunk, the FHP would had charged him with drunk/disorderly along with the simple battery. This is a case of a cabbie who watches too many reality tv shows and Morgan and Morgan advertisements wanting a quick buck. I still would like to know exactly where he was driving 70mph at. Perhaps the FHP should investigate that as well.
Byron Leftwich-
Reports are coming out of SteelerNation today on the final day of training camp that Big Ben Roethlisberger pulled up lame during scrimmage, and has an Achilles tendon injury. If Ben's achilles is torn, he's done for the season. That injury sidelined Marino for almost a year and a half. This could be an interesting situation for the Bucs going into this weeks game. Byron played for the Steelers last season, the Bucs head coach, "The One" is friends with Mike Tomlin, "The One" drafted Josh Freeman from Kansas State at #17 in the first round last year in the draft. It is obvious to Bucs fans that The One is more stubborn than Jon Gruden was. Yet, I've rooted for the Bucs longer than "The One" has been alive. I will not be surprised to see Leftwich head back to Pittsbugh after this weekend. Luke McCown start the season and see Josh Freeman starting for the Bucs by week 8 when they they are 3-5. This is going to be a tough year to be a Bucs fan. Just think 1984-1994, and shudder. Ownership is getting what they deserve. Garbage in, garbage out.
