What Day Is It Mr. Lucky?
July 31st, 2010
One of Joe’s longtime commenters, a fellow who goes by the moniker of “Mr. Lucky,” has to be a happy man today.
Because football is here.
Mr. Lucky, roughly two weeks ago, began posting a comment that was nothing more than a countdown to the start of training camp. Mr. Lucky is not a Rays fan nor does he monitor baseball in general. Mr. Lucky would rail on other sports and demand Joe and others talk football.
Mr. Lucky is one of the reasons Joe exists: to satisfy the hardcore, pewter-and-red bleeding Bucs fans who need — no, demand! — Bucs news daily /365.
While Joe has never been a training camp freak (reminds him too much of two-a-days in high school amid the southern Illinois cornfields in weather hotter and equally humid as Florida, being so sore and beat up he could barely walk), Joe will be out at One Buc Palace. Expect some photos and other goodies later.
But Joe rejoices today. To wit, respected, intelligent sports radio hosts will no longer:
* Prattle about this LUH-bron James character. Joe just wants to take a crowbar to people trying to cram down the non-basketball association down Joe’s throat in the middle of baseball season!
* International kickball.
Finally, Joe’s senses will no longer be assaulted when trying to listen to sports radio when Sirius NFL Radio is in commercial.
We have been liberated today, folks.
It’s football, glorious football, until February!
Enjoy.

Ah yes training camp, a time when all of the lovable losers in the league are pumped up with false hope and optimism that the disaster of last season will be remedied. Invariably, this continues through the practicing stage and even some meaningless pre-season games.
Kinda like gazing at a beautiful woman across the bar, savoring what might be. Right up until she slaps you in the face or her boyfriend comes back from the restroom.
Enjoy the false hope while you can! I am certain the Dream will be basking in it, till the news conference after the Cleveland game.
Viva la bucs!

Ah yes Eric,
but what if she walks over and asks if you want have a threesome? What you see is not always what you get and sometimes you have take a walk on the wild side. A slap in the face could also mean she’s into pain, and “No Pain, No Gain”

Penn is under contract….but is he under weight?
McCoy is signed as well….
Pads are ON…Helmuts are hitting (no I’m NOT referring to Talib – yet)

Hey Joe don’t forget the Caybrew out there during traing camp – it will help keep you hydrated. 😉 😉

Why hasn’t joe officially reported on the signings? Is there any funny business going on, or is joe just caught up trying to sneak in to the cheerleaders dressing room?

Ah, Eric old buddy, guess that’s where we differ. If there is a really hot girl on the other side of the Bar, She’s mine. And she is happy that she is !

I wonder if the Blocking Icon is practicing like a superstar yet.
July 31st, 2010 at 12:26 pm
I got 0-3 for wins.
You guys are right, that analogy was pretty weak. But, give me a break, it’s only the first day of camp. Gotta get stretched out, warmed up, and re-learn the playbook.
How long till the Dream makes an outlandish remark?

How about this – which happens first, the Dream making an outlandish statement or McCoy signs?

Wonder how long till’ he says “Today we got the underwear off and put our faces on each other”? LOL, sorry just a little humor.

Jorge;
Joe Twittered it. Can’t bring a laptop to training camp. That would be insane.
Joe cannot be in two places at the same time. 🙂

I know that cheerleader!

Eric:
At least you are consitent:
“Enjoy the false hope while you can! I am certain the Dream will be basking in it, till the news conference after the Cleveland game.”
On the day that the Bucs spend $100 million, Eric is still angry.
