Glennon Jersey Stampede On Hold
March 10th, 2014
The Buccaneers/NIKE braintrust apparently doesn’t believe in the vocal Mike Glennon Mob, or they don’t want Glennon jerseys flooding the market yet, or they don’t believe Glennon will do more than hold a clipboard in the Lovie Smith regime.
The Buccaneers started selling their stunning new jerseys today on Buccaneers.com. You can shop here. One very notable absence from that online catalog is a No. 8 jersey. You can get a Lavonte David jersey or a Mark Barron or Gerald McCoy jersey. There are Doug Martin, Vincent Jackson, Dashon Goldson and Darrelle Revis jerseys, too. But no Glennon jersey is available. How could this be?
Loyal readers here know Joe believes Glennon is nothing more than a quality backup, but the man did capture the hearts and passions of many misguided Bucs fans and national analysts after throwing 19 touchdowns versus nine interceptions last year.
Apparently, the Bucs/NIKE marketing team has ruled against Glennon — for now. Yes, Joe knows that does not represent a referendum by the Bucs coaching staff. Or could it?
To throw a curveball at the conspiracy theorists, there is a new Glennon home jersey on sale at NFLShop.com.

Because Nike knows like I do that Mike Glennon sucks.

Makes sense from a business standpoint. The open QB position for the Bucs will be the talk during training camp. Why risk printing a bunch of jerseys that will have to be sold at a discount once the season starts if Glennon is not the starter.

It’s on sale at nfl.com
March 10th, 2014 at 11:35 am
dang, i hated the jerseys at first, but on that sale site they actually look pretty cool.

You would have to be a fool to pay that much money for any of these players getups. A sucker is born every minute and scads of capitalists to take them.

I want to buy one of these jerseys but I can’t decide.
Goldson, Revis and Jackson could be gone within the next two years.
No one outside of Tampa has ever heard on an NFL player named Lavonte David.
Doug Martin has been hurt and who knows what kind of player he will be when he returns.
Gerald McCoy is probably the best option I guess….

I just can’t get over how ugly those numbers are.
March 10th, 2014 at 11:51 am
@ Westsidebucsfan,
You should talk to a psychologist.
March 10th, 2014 at 11:51 am
Don’t worry they will be selling them soon enough once Glennon wins the job
March 10th, 2014 at 11:53 am
Lol. You crack me up, Joe.
March 10th, 2014 at 11:53 am
I wouldnt read anything into it …. just a smoke screen so they can trade down in the draft Mike Glennon Fans- Facebook
March 10th, 2014 at 11:54 am
Darn, they didn’t slip up and put on an Jared Allen jersey. I guess they are just waiting until it is official.
March 10th, 2014 at 11:57 am
Joe,
I did a bit further digging. The only jersey for sale for Goldson is a white one, which indicates that the coaches will inactivate him for games when the Bucs wear red.
March 10th, 2014 at 12:03 pm
By Joe’s logic this means there are only going to be 6 players on the team this year.
March 10th, 2014 at 12:07 pm
Not only am I misguided but I feel dumber after reading that. ..smh
March 10th, 2014 at 12:08 pm
@joe… It’s called marketing.
March 10th, 2014 at 12:10 pm
You can get a Glennon jersey at nflshop.com. (Joe noted this in the post.–Joe)
A better story is why a #19 jersey appears on the main page but isn’t available for purchase.

You can buy a Glennon jersey here: http://www.amazon.com/Napoleon-Dynamite-Pedro-Ringer-T-Shirt/dp/B0007KQHI

@glennonmob thanks for the insight into your decision on a jersey decision. Since you put it out there for everyone, which jersey did you pick? My day can’t go on until I know which one you got.
March 10th, 2014 at 12:14 pm
I also find it kinda funny that Freeman still shows up on the pop-up ad for Game Pass when you go to buccaneers.com. Glennon gets no love! If there was a Glennon jersey on the site, it would probably say “Vote For Pedro” on the front. Gosh!
March 10th, 2014 at 12:14 pm
“stunning new jerseys”
BWAH, HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
March 10th, 2014 at 12:22 pm
On nfl shop it’s there but if you click on Glennon jersey it says this item has been discontinued. They must have the inside scoop
March 10th, 2014 at 12:22 pm
Insert foot in mouth.
March 10th, 2014 at 12:24 pm
Why is it you can only get screen printed jerseys. Where are the authentic stitches ones…?
March 10th, 2014 at 12:45 pm
This just in lavonte David as of noon est, new bucs jersey wasn’t available on the bucs shop site through buccaneers.com to purchase. Does that mean he’s not in the plans?
This article is pointless joe. Come on.
March 10th, 2014 at 12:55 pm
Man, I know I’m in the minority, but I really like the new jerseys.
And I think the numbers are cool too.
March 10th, 2014 at 1:04 pm
I want to buy one of the new jerseys, but want to personalize it… who knows how many of these clowns will be around in a couple of years…. I still have a Barrett Ruud jerse I can’t give away.
March 10th, 2014 at 1:24 pm
he must have been released already, or it is coming soon!
hey joe. is the bucs manziel jersey available now?
March 10th, 2014 at 1:33 pm
Ha ha! yea because he will be holding a clip board! he will never start another game again
March 10th, 2014 at 1:42 pm
If Glennon were going to be the QB they would have jerseys…since hte Bucs order them.
March 10th, 2014 at 2:18 pm
I think i like the jersey as well, will hold off full judgement until i see them on the field. I also think at this point that there are really only 5 jerseys that are safe to release at this point. And they really should not sell any until fanfest.
March 10th, 2014 at 2:48 pm
Its going to be sad/hilarious seeing the Glennon Mobbers wearing their No. 8s at RayJay, while Johnny Football/Bortles keeps driving the team down the feild.
March 10th, 2014 at 3:21 pm
is there a special deal with toys r’ us for Geoffrey’s jersey?
March 10th, 2014 at 3:51 pm
We will see, but I doubt it.

The haters who want MGM gone will miss him when he’s leading the Patriots to a SB victory someday (the kool aid I’m drinking might be spiked, but hey Brady can’t play forever and Schiano will offer to buy Belichick dinner at a good Italian restaurant that knows how to make pasta right if he trades Mallet for Glennon).
