"I'm smiling now. But if that sawed off little Vince Lombardi wannabe with a visor sits me in Atlanta, Im going to go ballistic. That SOB."

Luke McCown has taken most of the snaps at quarterback during practice this week because a calf injury has limited Jeff Garcia, reports both the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Tribune.

Joe’s not taking the bait that Garcia has anything resembling a serious injury.

That’s something for Falcons’ coaches to stress about and prepare for McCown, and that’s why the Bucs are playing this injury game. Tampa Bay needs every edge it can muster to churn out a road win against the Falcons on Sunday.

This is nothing more than Chucky playing mind games with Mike Smith. Then again, when isn’t Chucky playing mind games?
