Failed 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry spoke in more specifics than Raheem the Dream.

A couple of things jumped out at Joe listening to this press conference about the release of Derrick Brooks and others.

1) Raheem the Dream is trying to take control. Problem is, he’s not saying anything.

2) What the hell is this plan The Dream continues to talk about? The Dream said, “We want to be a fast, tough, disciplined team?”

Who the hell doesn’t? Like Brooks isn’t fast? Like Brooks isn’t tough? Like Brooks isn’t disciplined?

Give Joe a friggin’ break! If you are going to cut a state icon like Brooks (high school All American at Pensacola, national champion at Florida State, Super Bowl winner in Tampa Bay) you better be able to specifically explain why he doesn’t fit in your plans.

The loyal Bucs fans, not to mention season ticket holders, deserve as much. Hey Dream, if you can’t face the music, just pull a Chucky and hide.

The only way The Dream didn’t sound like John Kerry is that he didn’t tell people to check out his website.
