Who is Joe to quibble with an art lover?

Joe would never tell a man what to do or enjoy, unless it’s to remind him to grow a pair if he doesn’t have NFL Network in his home and allows himself to be held hostage by a local cable company that prefers Largo park happenings over Thursday Night Football.

That sort of brings us to Davin Joseph, whose love of elephant art made Jeff Faine stop in his tracks.

Faine explained on the Buccaneers Radio Network last night on WDAE-AM 620. Faine said the offensive line goes out to dinner every Thursday with one rule: nobody can talk football. That means sometimes you get too much information.

“I actually learned last week, that kind of caught me off guard, Davin Joseph collects elephant statues. Like he’s serious about it, too,” Faine said. “When someone asks him what do you wants for Christmas, [he says] ‘Find me an elephant. Find me an elephant statue. … He collects them all.  He has like, a thing for them.”

Faine said he hasn’t sought more information on Joseph’s obsession, and Faine didn’t answer when asked if Joseph’s home is adorned with replicas of the popular African beast.
