If Antonio Bryant has his way, new Bucs starting quarterback Josh Johnson cannot enjoy the fruits of his labor at Guavaween.

Since Josh Johnson was named the Bucs starting quarterback Monday, Bucs wide receiver Antonio Bryant has tried to take Johnson under his wing of sorts and help him out as best he can.

One of the first things Bryant told Johnson was, in short, no bar hopping, writes Tom Balog of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

”My number one advice was for him, just as a person, personally, is to protect yourself,”  Bryant said. “All that going to the club and stuff you have to cut back. Cut out. Go to the movies. You have to substitute some things. Because your situation has changed. Your face is a lot more recognizable. It’s a little different.”

Bryant said his public identity in the Tampa Bay community changed after he went off against the Chicago Bears last season.

”Like when I first got here, nobody knew who Antonio Bryant was,”  Bryant said. “They didn’t really bother me. It was maybe after that Chicago game, my life kind of just went back to fast speed. ‘Hey, how you doing guy?’ From the mail lady, to walking out, I used to give the ducks cereal. I couldn’t even open the door and give the ducks cereal. Even the ducks knew me. It was crazy.”

Shoot, man. Being a starting quarterback has its privileges, like pulling chicks hotter than Rachel Watson just by showing up at any of the dozens of fashionable hotspots.

How’s a guy supposed to land top shelf talent if he’s hiding in a movie theatre? This is the type of news that Joe needs to know.
