Joe has made no secret of his lust for former Bucs cheerleader Rachel Watson, one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the Tampa Bay area.

So it was with great surprise and profound glee when Joe learned of the smartest public relations move the Bucs made since moving training camp to One Buc Palace and letting fans in for free was this overlooked procedure:

Rachel is back!

No, sadly, Rachel is not going to be a Bucs cheerleader again. Currently teasing (tormenting?) fathers as an elementary teacher in Land O’ Lakes, the Bucs brought Rachel back as a host of a video documenting tryouts for the Bucs 2010 cheerleader squad.

And Rachel still looks dynamite as one can expect. She changed her look however. No longer the traffic hazard, All-American neighborhood girl with short blonde locks, Rachel now has long, jet black hair, sort of a biker chick/shot girl look.

Trust Joe, she’s still stunning!

Joe can understand how Rachel almost had to tone down her image. Imagine the  scene she would have created at her school daily otherwise? Why, the traffic jams each morning and afternoon Rachel would have created with all the dads dropping off their kids and picking them up each day would be a massive headache.

That’s not counting all the unrest she would have caused in so many homes from suspicious, jealous hausfraus.

Sure, Joe even knows most dads (and yes, moms, too) have to work. But with all the dads in the Land O’ Lakes area blowing off work to drop off/pick up their children at Rachel’s school, work productivity in southeastern Pasco County would have plummeted.

This is not counting the dozens of daily parent-teacher conference requests  demanded by dads with Rachel as a teacher of their child. The poor girl would barely have a life much less time to do her job.

Whoever made the call to bring Rachel back, well done, well done. Bravo!

Now Joe’s not ready to say the Bucs should hire her as a permanemt video presense for their online offerings. Rachel doesn’t quite have the camera personality that Tiffany Jimenez has, but Rachel was fine in her debut.

How could she not be?
