Raheem Shows Cool; Glazers Show Love
November 8th, 2009Raheem The Dream was surprisingly mellow following the Bucs comeback win against Green Bay.
Considering the head coach is ramped up like a mouse who just ate a chocolate bar most of the time, Joe was very surprised to hear Raheem The Dsream speak rather smoothly and confidently during his postgame interview on the Buccaneers Radio Network.
Raheem The Dream seemed to be careful not to raise expectations on Josh Freeman, taking more of a he’s-progressing-nicely approach.
Joe was impressed. The head coach was under control. Joe suspects Raheem The Dream wanted to say something like, “I told you he’s a No. 1 quarterback in this league, mother fu**er. That’s why we drafted him. That’s my bride. He’s got the goods, and he’s just a baby.” (Editor’s note: Raheem The Dream drops F-bombs when enjoying happy talk with Aqib Talib, so Joe assumes that’s what he was thinking).
Raheem The Dream talked about his confidence going for the touchdown on fourth down late in the game rather than kicking a field goal. (For those in the toilet at that time, the result was the winning touchdown toss to Sammie Stroughter).
Raheem The Dream said he tried to keep his happy locker room focused on preparing for next week’s game in Miami. “Ronde Barber presented me with a game ball. Ownership was there and they wanted to present me a game ball,” Raheem The Dream said.
As for more games in the Creamsicle jerseys, Raheem said his player are on board. “I’m sure the guys will be politicking to wear them a little bit more.”

You mean Morris didn’t say something like, “I dare you to write anything negative about Josh Freeman”?
He’s starting to sound and act like a NFL head coach. That’s a good thing!
