Raheem The Dream’s Dining Habits
June 24th, 2010
"If I go to Hooters, I won't get any work done."
Perhaps finding inspiration over an overpriced steak and a $10 dessert, Raheem the Dream, in an effort to turn around the Bucs and maybe save his career, has turned to eating out with players, so writes Tom Balog of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
Raheem The Dream has even gone to dinner several times in the offseason with linebacker Barrett Ruud to bounce football ideas off of each other’s heads.
Head coach Raheem Morris, who doubles as his own defensive coordinator, said Tuesday he has been out to dinner with Ruud on three occasions this offseason, to set the course for the defense.
“We’ve had a couple dinners together,” Morris said. “We talked about what we wanted to be and how we wanted to do it and a lot of things we want to do on defense. That’s my ‘quarterback.’ … As you know, you’re going to go as far as your leader takes you.”
Now Joe heard Raheem The Dream talk about this and the head coach claimed he and Ruud dined at swanky Tampa joints Grill One Sixteen, Iavarone’s and Donatello.
Joe finds it interesting Bucs coaches think they can get more accomplished by chowing down. Chucky was famous for bringing players to Hooters, ostensibly to talk football.

No different than At my Job. We always say” businessis discussed in conference rooms, it’s DECIDED over Dinner and cocktails”
Good to know that Coach Morris and Ruud are breaking bread and talking Defense! I like Raheem’s style! I know he is a great defensive co-ordinator. Jury still out on if he’s gonna be a good Head coach. Pretty sure he’s not gonna be a gifted public speaker. But I like his enthusiasm and approach, and his honesty is refreshing! I hope he is the man to turn this around!

I hope Ruud kept his underwear on while they ate!

I think we will get allot of millage from the underwear thing.

I think the secenery at Hooters would have been a distraction for the players. At least Raheem is choosing places with much better food.

While hooters might be s little distracting for business, I hope I never get to busy for my favorite creamsickle distractors. Can’t be focused ALL the time

Last Saturday after fanfest a comely blonde off-duty Hooters barmaid bought Joe a beer. This was truly uncharted waters for Joe.

Joe,
After the beer, did you take off your underwear and put your face on her?
Sorry – I couldn’t resist!

Gruden would talk football to a homeless person in the rain. I’ve seen it and heard his passion for NFL football. Even at Hooter’s I can guarantee you he was talking football and drinking lots of beer. He is a blue collar type of guy. Though he drafted like crap and over thought offensive play calling; the one thing you can’t deny is his knowledge and passion for pro football. I’ll be my paycheck the only thing Raheem and Ruud were talking about at the trendy Grill 116 is how to get laid.

Sorry that’s bet my paycheck

Joe’s not that kinky.
June 24th, 2010 at 9:42 am
That’s BS Joe.
There’s not a day that goes by that “Joe” isn’t dreaming about being a bad boy (student) in RW’s classroom, with the good teacher keeping him after class to get spanked by her with his “Pants on the Ground”.
I know that wood paddle, would surely get wood.

Tanard Jackson was on mediatakout.com for having a porn star named Jemini Pregnant Wow what coverage was he playing

Lets hope these talks with Rudd pay off this year. Our D-line needs to pick him up.

Ok… I bet Ruud said, so are you gonna freakin sign me to long term deal or what??? Don’t make me get 200 tackles this year only to bolt to a winner.

If they were at Grill One Sixteen then they were saying let’s do another shot and try to pick up these 2 Ho’s at the other end of the bar.

I wonder if The Dream’s bride was jealous?

Joe,
Think you ought ta buy a scuba mask, fins, and a plumb bob.
Those waters sound worth charting! 🙂
June 24th, 2010 at 11:56 am
I wonder if the Buc’s (read Glazers) picked up the tab for these “business” dinners? My guess is no. LOL

Tanard must have been playing up in the box in that coverage
