Freeman Is Cut By The Giants
May 30th, 2014
Josh Freeman’s freefall has another notch on its belt.
This afternoon, the Bucs’ former franchise quarterback was cut by the New York Giants.
It sure is a lousy sign to get cut in May from a team with a starting QB recovering from a serious injury and questionable talent at the position.
What happened?
Joe hopes for Freeman’s sake it wasn’t related to off-field issues, such as his sleepy, leaky ways during his final days in Tampa.
Freeman supporters have to find it troubling that Freeman was ousted from the Giants, where he no doubt arrived with the endorsement of former Tom Coughlin coaches Mike Sullivan and/or John McNulty, who worked with Freeman in Tampa last year.
Is the CFL next for Freeman?

Go #redblacks!
May 30th, 2014 at 4:38 pm
MG8 the QB of the future, lucky that Schisno got us a QB, and that we didn’t extend Freeman.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:40 pm
Still can’t believe that idiot Schiano cut this guy, clearly he’s incredibly talented and was just mismanaged by Schiano’s inept coaching staff.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:41 pm
sleepy and coming in late are the least of Freeman’s problems, I am sure that if Joe asked around he could quickly find out the other issues.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:41 pm
Shame, I remember watching him in 2010 and was absolutely ecstatic. Thought we really had something. Kid had talent, then he torpedoes himself, not that the bucs falling into the sewer really helped.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
If you think that I’m pointing and laughing at you as you read this, then I probably am.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:45 pm
Three QBs survived the cut:
Eli Manning
Ryan Nassib
Curtis Painter
You know it’s never good when Nassib and Painter are better options at QB.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:46 pm
He stopped caring about football. He has made enough money to last him a lifetime if he is careful and lives modestly.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:46 pm
Next stop…..
Tampa Bay Storm
May 30th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
Nah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
May 30th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
” if he is careful and lives modestly.”
What likely stopped the caring sure ain’t cheap….:nod nod wink wink:
May 30th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
Freeman is the “Benjamin Button” version of Kurt Warner.
From “franchise” QB to stocking grocery shelves.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
I would actually feel bad for the guy if he didn’t quit on the team but you reap what you sew. Thank you Schiano for ridding us of that garbage.
– LONG LIVE THE MGM!!!
May 30th, 2014 at 4:49 pm
Joe can’t allow anonymous, second hand character attacks on public figures. Ultimately, Joe is responsible for what is written here. Not you. To that point, Joe can’t buy that in this day and age there are no smoking guns that have come out on Freeman to corroborate all he’s accused of. Joe will believe these allegations against Freeman when there’s a shred of evidence –Joe
May 30th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
At least this years fall was from the first rung of the ladder!
May 30th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
no next stop rehab, then rehab, then either the Courtney campell or gandy, whichever has the least urine under the ledge.
this is a GREAT day for TAMPA BAY. redemption is here.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:52 pm
The Ginger Cannon never sleeps, and he never leaks.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:53 pm
Wasn’t Painter the guy who led the charge on the Colts’ woeful season after which they were able to land the Andrew Luck pick?
May 30th, 2014 at 4:54 pm
Freeman is history, gone, departed, terminated, through, finished, vanished, elsewhere, SYONARA, ADIOS, AU-REVOIR, Auf WIEDERSHEN, CHEERIO, ADJO, ANTIO, DO SVIDANIYA, HASTA LA VISTA, BYE-BYE…. SO LONG Of course, Schiano would say CAIO!!!
Lovie would say “No Comment”
May 30th, 2014 at 4:55 pm
Patrick in VA,
You know it.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:56 pm
I don’t expect a few people to post in this thread.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:57 pm
I told all of you, that one day we will look back and see Coach Schiano as the hero that save this Franchise. He got rid of a lot of Dominick’s quitters, But was not able to get rid of all, and took down Dominick
we will owe Schiano a lot of thanks for future success.
May 30th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
Anyone still backing Freeman? *crickets*
May 30th, 2014 at 5:00 pm
I think you’re right realist, history will be kind on Schiano.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
@Realist
I call him Coach Douche, and I mean it affectionately. He cleaned out most of the quitters, felons, and malcontents on the roster.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Woohoo more time to party!
May 30th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
@ Realist
Sometimes it take hitting rock bottom…utter failure to affect change…on this point you are right about Schiano….there’s something about him that I like….I just can’t seem to figure it out….
He’s gone….Dominick’s gone…Freeman’s history…its a new day in Tampa Bay!!!………Again…
May 30th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
A local radio host is demanding Coughlin be fired.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:07 pm
Schiano was good at evaluating talent and team players. Would’ve been happy to have him head up the scouting department. Absolutely the right move to let him go as a coach.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
@Oil Brooks
the quitters on the roster???? I wonder where THEY came from in the first place….
Can anyone say coach Radio?????
May 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
guess he must have been trowing balls in the dirt in underwear football. That gets you fired.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Bu-bye.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
There was no way Freeman should have been let out on the field in 2013 – PERIOD!
Josh should just work his way back to ESPN and perfect his Michael Jackson impersonation – maybe then he’ll get a job on the NCL Epic in their look alike show.
No team, not even the Jags, are desperate enough to let Freeman on their fields – he’s HISTORY!
May 30th, 2014 at 5:26 pm
Wow I’m so glad we didn’t lock him up to a big contract like a lot of people were saying we should do before his contract was up. How quickly he has fallen this is almost unbeleivable that this guy has went from 26 tds 6 ints to no job in 2 years. The most surprising is he has passed all drug test. So drugs and alchohol aren’t the reason must be seriously messed up in the head. I just would love to know what went wrong. And I wonder what big dogg will say about this how he can spend this into a positive for freeman. Probaly something like this. Wake up everybody did you really think freeman was going to sit around and be a back up he asked for the release. He wants the oppurtunity to start and knew he couldn’t in New York. I know people who told me this I can’t say who or what I know just know that I know what’s really going on wake up tampa
May 30th, 2014 at 5:26 pm
WOMP WOMP WOMP
“I Told You So”
So sorry Freemanites lol 😉
May 30th, 2014 at 5:27 pm
While part of me feels a little vindicated on backing Schiano the talent evaluator (and I actually do believe history will show he did more good for the Bucs than bad and will vindicate him of any wrong doing in Freeman’s medical record leaking, ballot fixing nonsense), I actually kind of feel bad for Josh and the few remaining Freemanites that cling to his 10-6 record vs. crap defenses as hope he will rebound. Oh well his release from the Giants was as easy to foresee as is MG8 winning the starting QB role during preseason this year.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:27 pm
Schadenfreude….is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.
OK to do that if its a multi-millionaire in his twenties….can’t really feel to sorry for him…
May 30th, 2014 at 5:30 pm
his release from the Giants was as easy to foresee as is MG8 winning the starting QB role during preseason this year.

BINGO!!
-LONG LIVE THE MGM!!
May 30th, 2014 at 5:30 pm
My name is the Big Dawg and I think Freeman is still the best QB in the league.

Couch unfortunantly that won’t happen, not this year atleast BUT atleast you were one of the few true fans on here that saw Free Free for the bust he was like myself ahahahaha
May 30th, 2014 at 5:38 pm
Lol we will see. Somebody better take hold of the QB spot and light it up with this offense.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:39 pm
Career done – Dominik maybe attached to this bust!
This is very close to Ryan Leaf level!
May 30th, 2014 at 5:40 pm
Couch Fan and I predicted this over a year ago – and were labeled “haters” by many of you!
May 30th, 2014 at 5:45 pm
BOOMER ‘NOSTRADAMUS’ ESIASON!
May 30th, 2014 at 5:46 pm
I can’t get over how far Freeman has descended since 2010, there used to be SO much upside with this kid, rocket arm, big and strong stature, at first he had great wheels, and he was pretty accurate too, his future seemed rock solid….then something happened. You don’t just forget how to play, especially after 1 or 2 years AND while still in your 20’s, this will always be an enigma I guess, but I also remember Duante Culpepper tearing the league up, almost to the point of it being unfair, but he too seemed to go from unstoppable to less than pedestrian all in 1 to 2 years, but he had injuries, not sure what Freeman’s excuse is/was.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:47 pm
Freeman supporters? I remember getting bashed on this site and labeled a member of the Glennon Mob for wishing Freeman was out of Tampa. Now we are all acting like we knew all along. Funny Joe. Wonder if you and Duemig will be able to overcome your emotions long enough to hold a show next week.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:50 pm
Couch Fan…..Cough Fan…..One in the same???

I think you hit the nail on the head man. In fact I was suggesting such things back in September. I said at the time, maybe Freeman lost his heart for the game and is going Ryan Leaf on us.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:52 pm
In a few years when Glennon is our Franchise QB and have broken all of Freeman’s remaining team records, nobody will remember the bum known as Freeman.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:52 pm
Haters!
May 30th, 2014 at 5:56 pm
Atleast you eventually saw the light after your card carrying Freemanite ways 87 ahahaha
May 30th, 2014 at 5:56 pm
Too bad…hope he get’s his crap straight before his life is ruined just like his career now is.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:56 pm
LMAO I just realized i spelled my name wrong on this new computer. Thanks for bringing that to my attention TBBF
May 30th, 2014 at 5:56 pm
Corrected now.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:57 pm
Cough Fan…oh no I think Glennon is going to have a pretty good season this year.(I also thought Free was going to light it up last year soooo) The Ginger Cannon lol. There’s too many weapons for this kid or McCown to play with this year. I won’t be surprised if Mike beats out Josh in TC.
I’m definitely all in with Glennon now. Lovie has a plan and I like it so far.
May 30th, 2014 at 5:58 pm
87, you mean he’s going to be an excellent learner behind McCown this year? Lol
May 30th, 2014 at 5:59 pm
Yah PRB..now I probably hate the a-hole more than anyone now, because of that sign. To a point I kind of feel pity for Schiano in a way, having to deal with that fool.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:00 pm
As much as the Freemanites say he was ruined by coaching, Free ruined many a coaches careers as well.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:01 pm
PRBucFan…we’ll see PRB…I don’t think McCown makes it through the whole season. The again my crystal ball has been foggy in the past, but lately, lately things are starting clear up a little bit more.
We’ll see.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:04 pm
I think that maybe, just maybe Glennon could have learned from Freeman. that’s if Schiano kept telling him to do whatever the opposite that Freeman did .
May 30th, 2014 at 6:07 pm
Thats some outside the box type thinking Realist. I like it.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:10 pm
Freeman will never throw another pass in an NFL game. Stick a fork and bring your sharpest serrated steak knife. He’s cooked well done.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:11 pm
My Friday just got better.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:18 pm
Sad..all the cruel comments….this story transends football and upset fans…..the real story is something I’d like to know…this is no longr a football story…it is a human story
May 30th, 2014 at 6:20 pm
I have nothing to gain by saying what I know to be true and Joe does not go for anonymous, second hand character attacks so I will just say, Good luck in the future Josh; I hope you get your life in order.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:21 pm
It’s one thing to flame out of the league. That happens and it’s nothing to look down on. This guy is a young dude and is going to have to find work after football. He made a lot of money but he’s got a lot of years ahead of him. With his unemployability being played out publicly like this it’s not boding well for his next gig after football.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:27 pm
@RastaMon
Cruel? Maybe? Deserved? Mostly!
He brought “this” on himself IMHO. After I heard that incoherent interview on 620 he did, I knew we were toast. I dont know what he was on but he was lit up!
Long live the Ginger Cannon!
May 30th, 2014 at 6:29 pm
Maybe he can sign up with the Rams…he would fit right in.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:32 pm
Character attacks? Quote from Mike Cannon, “Say What!!!!”.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:36 pm
[Not cool. — Joe]
May 30th, 2014 at 6:44 pm
Where’s the big dope…I mean dog now. He “knows” quarterbacks and Freeman was the real deal…..Think he owes Schiano an apology.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:49 pm
A human story? Until someone has some proof otherwise, I will go with the evidence before me and toss Freeman into the category of lazy athletes that have no drive to succeed.
Not some sad story of a player that faced adversity, just a lazy guy that didn’t want it. Happens all the time.
May 30th, 2014 at 6:57 pm
As much as I hated watching him the past 3 seasons, I still hate this. I remember really not liking the draft pick and then loving being wrong. I remember starting last year we were asking is he or flacco the better option. I just hate to watch that much talent be dribbled way. Has been? Was never that good. He’s a should have been.
May 30th, 2014 at 7:09 pm
Too support Freeman is a loser like thing to do. Bust ass quitter. You’re ass don’t deserve the CFL
May 30th, 2014 at 7:12 pm
Exactly not to mention he lost all sympathy when he tried to burn us down on the way out
May 30th, 2014 at 7:13 pm
Hey joe. Go to thedirty.com/Tampa to see the pics from Freeman’s visit to Tampa stadium last weekend to attend a rave. Smoking gun. Here it is on a platter
May 30th, 2014 at 7:13 pm
I want my money back for my jersey 🙁

To be fair, there were quiters before Raheem became HC. We saw that when Monte left.

I wonder if we’ll ever find out what his problem is? I’m thinking some sort of mental illness. Name slips my mind atm, but who was the Bucs oline guy that retired early due to mental issues?
Make me sick that people here think its funny. Freeman either has a mental illness, a tumor or addiction issues, and none of those are laughable.
He’s still young though. He should get treatment and return when he’s better.

Actually, don’t bother.
Other than maybe providing a little insight as to why he was cut, it is nothing.
May 30th, 2014 at 7:59 pm
Freeman, asked for his release.
May 30th, 2014 at 7:59 pm
Damn Freeman lol sorry dude can’t help laughing. You could very well end up in arena league but the laugh is because 13 games and Glennon proved he’s a franchise qb. Vick, vince young, jamarcus russell were labeled franchise qb’s, the way bucs fans are Glennon you better be lights because they’ll turn on you like you were just signed off the street if you suck like you did last year. Haha I’m sure atleast one hater here flips burgers, no shame in arena football not compared a couch quarterbacks….get it together dude
Money or girls because while your getting one the other is getting away….stop wearing number 5 Freeman your embarrassing yourself
May 30th, 2014 at 8:00 pm
Thanks Brandon. Would have come to me eventually, but hard to think while laying on a heating pad and popping tylenol because of the weather.
May 30th, 2014 at 8:02 pm
His career is over. I hope he gets his life together as her is still very young but it seems as if he is not interested in football. Oh well new team new coaches its time to put those days long behind us as bucs fan
May 30th, 2014 at 8:02 pm
I bet you if you go too Post Card Inn , a Stpete beach bar tomorrow afternoon, you will probably see Freeman’ boozing . No joke, I work in hospitality and I can tell you that the guy is too focused on his social life always frequenting bars, clubs etc. he needs to prioritize if he wants any chance in the league .
May 30th, 2014 at 8:08 pm
Bad coaches get fired every year, no one’s shows that kind of hate for coaches, Leslie Frazier sucked still he’s in Tampa but players wow….i don’t think Eli manning missed a game in his entire career despite the surgery shoo why pay Freeman
May 30th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Doc Says
“Freeman, asked for his release.”
Can you link to that?
If true it could mean a number of things. First, people here will never do it but they owe him an apologyo
Second, with Eli returning this week, he probably figure he would be cut anyway.
Third, it is possible he got an offer. It isn’t tampering if the Giants gave permission, and he also could have gotten one from another league.
Forth, maybe he was hungover.
Fifth option…he’s joining TNA and becoming a pro wrestler.
May 30th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
NFL.com reports that Freeman came in for a rep and lined up the offense incorrectly. He was promptly replaced by Painter. Dude just doesn’t want to put in the time to be a starter in the league.
May 30th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
You know I just realized the lie that perpetuated Freeman’s departure. If you test positive for a performance enhancing drug (ie adderal) you are immediately suspended for four games (ie Eric Wright, Aqib Talib). If you test positive for a recreational drug you are silently put in to the drug program, as Freeman was. There are many drugs that can bypass a pee test too.
Also, makes you wonder who was handing out all that free adderal back then… These are the things that should be investigated about this team. Not constantly putting down a hard working kid who is still on the team. What ever happened to investigative journalism?

May 30th, 2014 at 8:22 pm
Couch,
Actually two years ago, I claim first dibs on the ‘give up on Freeman’ award.
While everyone was cheering for the win against Carolina in Tampa – Doug Martin first career game – Freeman was lousy in a win. I remember questioning Joe and the site bloggers was it just me or why am I not happy about this win because Freeman stunk.
Joe blew me off with some sarcastic remark – lol and I never forgot that because while Freeman spiraled to the bottom of the purgatory I said to myself I knew he wasn’t all there and I saw the same in Dallas because I was at the game and people hated me for speaking negative of him.
I quit on Freeman during Raheem tenure!!!
Sorry to steal your thunder!!!! LOLOLOL. 😉
May 30th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
Remember Thomas and his blind love for this dope head?
May 30th, 2014 at 8:51 pm
Lol Hey I never claimed to be the first to give up on him. Just 1 of the first and the few. I never really liked him, even the 10-6 season wasn’t impressive to me. Always thought he was over rated and never very good.
May 30th, 2014 at 9:01 pm
Oh joe and big dog how do you explain this. Please quit sticking up
For this guy and just admit it there has to be something else going on to blow the talent he showed at times this quickly
May 30th, 2014 at 9:25 pm
Unbelievable how far he has fallen.
Unlike many here- I never celebrate the spectacle of a young person ruining his life.
Some of you are pathetic for doing so.
He’s not a murder, rapist, or Bank robber.
What he is, is an immensely talented young man/ who let the millions of dollars lead him to self distructive behavior.
Fortunately, most of you are minimum wage earners- and will never face any temptation greater than making the trailer payment on time- or buying another 12 pack of Busch in the can.
Anyone who was successful at an early age, can relate to the dangers
Or, as Mark Twain stated, when asked how he spent his money-
” I spent most on booze, wild women, and gambling! I wasted the rest!”
And I know some of you try to deny Freeman ever had talent
You are lying to yourself. Everyone was excited at his potential, when he won 10 games. He is only the third QB in The Buccaneers 40 year history to do so.
86% of all NFL Starting QBs NEVER win 10 plus games.
It’s a damn shame how he has wasted his potential
May 30th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
And I know some of you try to deny Freeman ever had talent
——————–
I let the rest of your pity post go because it was entertaining. But let’s try not exaggerate so much? Nobody said he wasn’t talented. He just wasn’t good. You can also add to that list of accomplistments quitting on his team.. and for that he deserves all the ridicule he gets.
May 30th, 2014 at 9:45 pm
Who the hell is celebrating ruining his life?
He tried to screw this team and he’s a LIAR, in terms of football good that he’s being passed up like a basketball. karma’s a biatch and LIFE HAS CONSEQUENCES.
Get off your high horse.
But it’s ok most Freemanites are still bitter 😉
May 30th, 2014 at 9:46 pm
Poor poor man for having to deal with the decisions he’s made and the consequences he’s earned…
What a twisted concept huh?
May 30th, 2014 at 10:01 pm
Asked for his release? Maybe for another ultra embarrassing looking photo shoot posing as a child molester(allegedly). If true, he better not ever suit up again and have the chance to dishonor the NFL again.
May 30th, 2014 at 10:02 pm
I may be wrong but I for one am quite concerned for him. Perhaps he is in the need for real help and needs to seek it instead of pushing himself on the field and ignoring the help he needs. He’s so young and it would be a shame for him to waste his life.
May 30th, 2014 at 10:07 pm
WOW!! The smokescreen has lifted! We now have proof that Lovie/Licht have been playing mind games with the Giants, and the Giants blinked. Yes, sir, not one word about Freeman all through free agency and the draft. Lots of cudos to this guy or that one. Coy references to draft-able prospects. It was all a ploy to get Freeman in a position where he’d be willing to not only come back to Tampa, but do so at a bargain price. Lovie/Licht brought in McCown, knowing that he can mentor Freeman on how best to set his alarm clock. The medical staff is prepared to surgically implant nose plugs to make sure Freeman doesn’t get ‘the sniffles’. Lovie, himself, has removed all knives from the Bucs’ cafeteria so they won’t ‘accidentally’ find their way into his back. Yep, it all fits now that we can look back at the evidence.
May 30th, 2014 at 10:10 pm
Shame.. I really thought he was the real deal. I still wish him all the best of luck in the future. But I have to put him in the Dilfer file. Loved Dilfer, all the physical attributes but just missing that weird QB thing.
May 30th, 2014 at 10:18 pm
There is no evidence Freeman has a drug problem. It’s just common sense to assume it after all the issues in Tampa. He did it to himself. Players that are forced out of the league due to injury have my sympathies not quitters.
May 30th, 2014 at 10:57 pm
Yeah, 2010 at the Saints had me believing. I was wrong.
May 30th, 2014 at 11:08 pm
Freefall was AWESOME in his first start against the Pack in the Bucco Bruce garb…which might have led to his eventual downfall. Success can be as much of an illusion as failure. Either way, the Freefall “ship” has sailed (no pun intended)…let us do this new thing!
May 31st, 2014 at 12:19 am
Gotta say, I was a huge Freeman supporter from 2009 all the way till the end of the 2012 season. How far he has fallen…..
May 31st, 2014 at 12:35 am
I’m just glad it’s all over with now!
May 31st, 2014 at 12:44 am
A lot of people were on the Freeman Bandwagon after that 26 and whatever season. Remember even watching some analyst on espn who thought he was going places. So back then, there were more people high on him, more so then the people who were not. Also, its plainly obvious to me that something happened to him that has caused spiral his life out of control, what it is we will probably never know.
May 31st, 2014 at 1:08 am
Shaking my head…once again another example of talent wasted on an athlete that is either immature, entitled, or has an underlying issue(s) that prevents them from achieving the full extent of their talent.
Never wished ill to come upon Josh, in fact like most former Bucs QBs you would almost expect him to succeed elsewhere, but alas for now it seems he needs to rededicate himself to his profession. Maybe some time away from the game for a year or two will do him some good.
Let me be one of the few to say, I hope he finds his way one day…whether it is on or off the football field.
May 31st, 2014 at 1:59 am
I wonder if anyone remembers that fat ex qb who took the Bucs to a playoff game, but lost, saying that in his opinion Freeman needed to see a sports shrink?
I wonder when we will ever find out who leaked Freemans medical records?
I wonder who was advising Freeman how to deal with Schiano?
I wonder if it was someone else who held out on his employer to get a better contract for himself? Remember Freeman was wanting a 100 Mil extension to his contract. Joe, didn’t you lobby for that?
I wonder if Freeman will try to go into sports radio?
May 31st, 2014 at 2:00 am
What are you talking about? Joe always stated it was Freeman’s irresponsibility not to mention his p!ss poor record against winning teams and his inaccuracy that let him down.
May 31st, 2014 at 2:01 am
No.
Yes, Joe lobbied to extend Freeman’s contract. A team-friendly contract. People seem to miss that point.
It was the lesser of two evils unless the Bucs were going to draft a franchise quarterback.
People seem to easily forget what Joe stated about Freeman when he was drafted. The unwashed over at Pewter Report raked Joe over the coals for years for that. Wonder what those rodents are saying about Joe now?

“He’s a LIAR”
Yup. Like your ass doesn’t lie every damn day of your life.
And that’s the the worst you can say about the kid.
I realize most of you have never had anyone offer you millions of Dollars
I’m also sure you’ve never entered a stadium, with thousands of people all cheering your name.
You’ve never been televised around the world
All at the age of 23.
“It’s all about #8”. Any woman he wanted.
You’ve never had any of that. Makes it easy to insult- when your Dumbass has NO idea what life is like for this kid
Unlike your unachieving ass, I got a small taste of that early success- in the music field. My success was about a tenth of his. Probably less.
And it threw all my focuses out the window. Instead of being best friends, doing something we loved- we all had people whispering in our ears- that each of us was the “real star” of the band. Instead of focusing on the music( what mattered), we fought for the spot light
And at 22-25, I thought it was my job to make groupies out of every hot girl.
And suddenly- you had women you never dreamed of!
And they, of course, all had opinions about the band, the music, the guys in the band.
And the partying was so out if hand.enough said
It ruined us. It fell apart. The music turned to crap
The pressure of success, of money, of fame, absolutely destroys many young people. It’s why stars end up habitually in rehab- then broke.
It’s why decent young Musicians end up on the obituary column, or subject to TV ridicule
If you haven’t been there- you have no idea
But if you had suddenly become a rich celebrity at 23- would you have turned away all the perks of celebrity?
Yeah. He had talent. And we all cheered him.
And it’s ruined his life
Forgive him? No.
But who the f+*k are you, to insult and celebrate his fall
The only one he’s hurting is him.
He didn’t owe any couch jockey anything.

———————
Easy Joe, yes many of us senior members remember and like you all we were skeptical. We were desperate for relevance and change, plus Tampa never had a franchise QB drafted that succeeded in Tampa.
There is always hindsight but even the team-friendly extension would be bad right now because Lovie purged Dominik failed projects.
Ease up on PR, there maybe some history there but they’re deserving of respect too. People really regard this site now and I remember some potshots sent this way a few years ago but it’s water under the bridge and there’s enough room for Pewter love in Tampa and beyond.
Toss back another one and chill…I was promoted to VP level today so I’m spreading the love!!!
May 31st, 2014 at 2:58 am
As a Bucs fan, it saddens me to read all these comments and realize how irrelevant the Bucs have been the last decade. Because Bucs fans can’t gloat to other fanbases. They can only gloat to other Bucs fans about how they saw Freeman’s meltdown coming first. Kudos, losers, for hating a guy that’s probably younger than you, because you looked up to him, and he let you down. It was an epic meltdown…
May 31st, 2014 at 3:31 am
Oh shut the hell up
The irony about that jackass is that you know not one thing about me or my “wealth” which by the way says not one thing about a persons “character” actually.
Apparantly cause the kid got some money from throwing a football that makes him better than anyone else? I bet those not so well off soldiers are much less worthy people right? Or less successfull? ACause they aren’t making millions?
And the thing is I could give two craps what you believe, say, or think about me you know why? Cause your nothing but a damn screen name on a comment section behind a screen. Insignificant to me by all means lol.
Bitter isn’t better Freemanite, try and not to be too butt hurt about it.
P.S. There are much worse things that can be said about the kid than the fact that he’s a liar BUT I have a little more class than that and he has done a amazing job of showing the world that himself. 😉
By all means continue to tell me how much you know about me though. Cause unlike Freeman I haven’t put it all on blast for anyone besides those closest to me. He knew the consequences of living the life under the spot light.
But wait nothing he does deserves blame or consequence right? Lol
That will be my last comment to you buddy. You simply aren’t worth me reading whatever you write from here on out lol.
May 31st, 2014 at 8:02 am
I might able to watch freeman if he plays for the Toronto argos this season
May 31st, 2014 at 8:41 am
Joe, don’t delete this comment bcuz whenI say drugs, I’m talking about the prediction kind that we know about on record… It’s sad that Freeman allowed drugs to ruin his career. Adderrall it a hard drug, with strong effects a horrible side effects when taken long-term like Freeman was doing. I have also heard credible rumors of the illicit drug use as well, but even if those are untrue, the side effects to Adderrall perfectly describe all of Freeman’s issues. Google them & you’ll see I’m right. Shame on Freeman’s advisers/docs for getting him on something that had the potential to ruin his mental capacity for the career in which he chose to pursue. SMDH. Sad situation.

And the back peddling starts……now
May 31st, 2014 at 9:27 am
I think some of you are missing the point – he never was a football junkie or true football gym rat to begin with, which was pointed out by many experts and scouts.
He was a physically gifted guy that could play football. The rigors of the NFL has a way of weeding through these types every year.
I remember Chris Landry talking about it and Raheem knew it and Dominik but they gambled and failed miserably. That’s the sad part not the results of Josh Leaf.
May 31st, 2014 at 9:47 am
His problem wasn’t physical.. Like many athletes that come in, they have the ability to play the game but there is an intangible that rests in the mind that is almost of equal importance. For whatever reason, he either never had it or never cultivated it.
May 31st, 2014 at 9:54 am
to those that say we have no reason to be pissed:
It’s like if you bought tickets to your favorite artists concert only to have them be 2 hours late and wasted on stage, puke and then attempt 2 songs and call it a night.
it sure as hell would make me pissed and likely not to follow that artist anymore.
jfro 6 pack Jackson has done this to his fans along with effecting the jobs & lives of others for what? because he could not handle fame? poor josh, but I still want my money back.
get it?

“People seem to easily forget what Joe stated about Freeman when he was drafted. The unwashed over at Pewter Report raked Joe over the coals for years for that. Wonder what those rodents are saying about Joe now?”
Probably nothing said about Joe same as Joe said nothing here to the MGM and those who accurately predicted Glennon would be on the Bucs after free agency, after the draft, and will most likely say nothing (when it comes to fruition after preseason) when MG8 is named the starting QB this season. It’s OK though, genius is rarely appreciated 🙂
Back to my trailer park and Busch beer…some entertaining posts here 🙂
May 31st, 2014 at 10:14 am
I’m with Rastamon, this is a sad human story. The kid could ball and I guess all the pressure of “it’s all about number 5” when he had limited skill players, shitty D, multiple lame coaching staffs without a real consistent mentor has destroyed a very promising career.
I’m hopeful he takes a year off and if football is what he wants to do, he gets another shot. Hey number 5, Go to India like Ricky Williams! Smoke some pot. Work it out
May 31st, 2014 at 10:28 am
Josh is a quitter and that is all he will ever be known for except by a select few who apparently worship the quitter. Good riddens to, as robert would say, “JFro 6 Pack Jackson”… Curious to know who “Free’s A Boob” is typing under now. LOL
May 31st, 2014 at 10:47 am
F U Josh I want my $1,300 back.
May 31st, 2014 at 10:53 am
I supported Freeman, but towards the end he had quitter eyes. I hadn’t noticed it before and I know a lot of fans on here did though. It’s funny, but the first time I was really worried was the fan appreciation night at Raymond James. It was just a simple hit the moving target on golf carts drill. Close, Medium and long range. Freeman actually missed more than half the targets then Dan O. did just about the same. Then some kid that looked tall, skinny and out of place went on to nail all of them. I was like who is this Glennon dude. I wasn’t impressed that he hit all the targets with no pass rush, but I was concerned that Freeman & Dan O. couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.
May 31st, 2014 at 11:43 am
I’ll admit I was a Freeman supporter until last season started. Jets game worried me. I was completely done during the Saints game when on a 3rd down play, Ogletree was WIDE open in the flat for an easy first down and Freeman threw the ball directly to his feet. They showed a shot of Schiano pinching the bridge o his nose in the universal sign of frustration and that’s why on the last drive of that game we ran on 3rd and 7 I believe instead of passim because Schiano had lost all trust in Freeman. I wouldn’t have minded him being an experienced backup for us, but once he went to ESPN bitching and whining asking for a trade, I lost all personal respect for him being so selfish and putting his selfishness and ego over the team, ESPECIALLY in the middle of a season. Can’t feel sorry for him the way he handled the end of his tenure here.
May 31st, 2014 at 11:45 am
I didn’t like the Freeman pick initially but after seeing him a little as a rookie and then his second year, I vividly remember telling someone that I wouldn’t trade him for anyone. At the time it felt the sky was the limit and I remember hearing other teams talk about how the Bucs were on the up and up. Of course this was on the old 4 letter network boards which are now gone.
I was half off the Freeman train at the end of the 2011 season just seeing him make the same mistakes over and over and I remember telling people that I want to be proven wrong. I would have happily jumped back on if he could have but it never happened. He broke records in 2012 but man it was some ugly record breaking.
Although the way Freeman worked his way out of here left me bitter, and watching that Vikings MNF game was one of my favorite moments of last year (sad I know), I hope he can pull himself together in life. I liked him as a person, not that I knew him but from what I saw before all of the ugly of last year happened. He gave some hope in 2010 that we hadn’t had here in awhile and for that I’m thankful.

“And With a final look of indignation, PrBucfan slams his trailer door. He grabs a can of Busch and some petroleum based Lube. He settles down in front of his candle lit Mike Glennon poster shrine. ” why won’t they understand Mike? Every QB besides you is garbage! Garbage. With a sigh, he re wined his Glennon VCR tape, and commits to a day of film study.”
Toes on the line- I blew do much money, I couldn’t make the trailer payments. And Busch was the gourmet stuff, when your drinking the $1.99 a six Pabst Blue ribbon.
Ah, Crazy times
If the “supremely more talked than Mike Glennon( tee her) ” Josh Freeman doesn’t cut back, and learn moderation- he’s gonna get kicked out of his trailer!
Oh, to be young, rich, dumb and self destructive!
Robert8 and buc1987- yup. Can’t argue with that. You are right- he owes us a refund!
Course, they way he’s spiraling head first to the ground, you know he ain’t got no money! We oughta swing by his trailer, meybe we could trade it out in beer or booze!

Michael Jackson – The Revival
Starring Josh Freeman as the King of Pop
May 31st, 2014 at 11:55 am
Just another shining example of how incredibly inept, self-serving
and misguided some local media is here in Tampa. Sure, they’re fun to listen to
because it’s like a Jerry Springer episode, but their agenda is simply one
of “generate as many listeners as possible by any means necessary”.
Cases in point: Clearly Manziel is a huge distraction and a marginal talent
(by NFL standards). Clearly Schiano was a brillant evaluator of talent
and one hell of a hough-guy. Clearly Freeman has deeper issues than anyone
let on to. Clearly Glennon does have NFL potential that far outweighs the
others mentioned above….but he’s not a media darling.
Thank God sober heads have prevailed.
Those would be Lovie, Schiano, Licht, Coughlin and the fans.
Don’t expect the media to apologize for their epic misjudgements.
It’s what they do.
May 31st, 2014 at 12:09 pm
…clearly Gruden should never have been fired.
Clearly Dungy should not have been fired.
Don’t even get me started on the media take-down that
was inflicted on Jim Leavitt (the 49ers LB coach).
May 31st, 2014 at 12:24 pm
My oh my! I had no idea that JBF contained so many humanitarians! It’s really shows how much you care by lambasting people on an anonymous message board.
What harm is being done, exactly by what we are saying? Do you think Freeman is here reading the comments, and drinking himself into oblivion? If so, there’s your first evidence there’s a problem, Joe. Players could give a flying f about this. Hell, Freeman had, what, a possible $50-70M extension on the line and he still didn’t care. And you guys are crying about people commenting here?
Tell you what, if you truly are that concerned about his welfare, here’s where you can reach his agent https://twitter.com/ErikBurkhardt
His agent, you say? Yes the guy that has pocketed about $900,000.00 in fees off the guy (going off 3%). The guy who sees him routinely, and would be able to do something about the issues he appears to be having. Instead, he’s collecting fees. And, you people try to throw around the high and mighty routine here. LOL.
Here’s his brothers address https://twitter.com/C_Free30. Caleb lived with him in Tampa. So, he probably has a good idea what state Freeman is in. I don’t see anything to show he’s jumping off the gravy train either.
So, by all means, lets see how much you bleeding hearts really care for the guy. Or do you just want to deliver lip service on a masturbatory football fan comment section that will never make a difference? (much like the comments cracking on him)
May 31st, 2014 at 12:32 pm
It is a shame to see a guy with enough talent to get into this league, let alone start at the qb position, just throw it away for whatever reason. I look at Freeman, Jamarcus Russel, Vince young and wonder what happened?
May 31st, 2014 at 12:49 pm
Wonder if Raheem had been given more money, resources, and was able to hand pick his coaches we’d be secure with Freeman right now. No one can convince me that Mike Cannon is a better qb than Josh Freeman. How many games did we lose under Schiano because of the defense giving up the lead? How many games did Josh lead us from behind to put us into position to win? Instead of possibly going 12-4, the Buccs went 7-9 in 2011. In 2012 Schiano was looking for his “guy”, and found him in the third much to the surprise of many that the Buccs took a qb in the third round. The writing was on the wall even before the alleged problems began, when Schiano essentially stated that qb was open competition. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000120618/article/greg-schiano-hints-at-buccaneers-qb-competition. Did we hear of Freeman having any team problems before 2012 from coaches, media, fans? I don’t recall any…zip, zero, nada. All of a sudden, Josh is an alleged drug addict, that can’t make team meetings on-time, and the leak came out. Why would Josh (or his agent) leak it to sabotage his own career, and identity? Doesn’t make sense. Josh isn’t without culpability, but it seemed to me to be an atmosphere created by the head coach. I know some of you will disagree, and that’s fine. However, even to Pewter Report’s admission, Schiano still had players telling him to loosen up on the reigns even AFTER Freeman’s departure. IE – not making it mandatory to check in to every team meal except game day, and walk throughs. Perhaps Freeman knew the writing was on the wall and was acting out? I don’t know, I just know that Schiano was in over his head, could never make the necessary half-time adjustments, conservative play calling, did not listen to his players as often as they would have liked, and the players did not buy into his constant style of micro-managing. Freeman did not get both coaches fired in Tampa, it was their inexperience that got them canned.
May 31st, 2014 at 12:50 pm
err…Buccs went 7-9 in 2012 rather, and 4-12 in 2013 rather
May 31st, 2014 at 1:12 pm

Its just too GdmNM funny how right I was about free when I was calling for his head, yet others (including Joes praised him)….and here we are, clashing again, but Im praising Glennon while the Joe’s OBVIOUSLY do NOT want him!
……still just SMDH!!!!

To hell with the Koolaide!
I’m riding my bike to the store, and I’m ł a Busch 12 pack and some lube! It’s gonna be a hot time in the ole Trailer park tonight.
Plus I’m gonna use that link to call Josh’s agent! I’m a gonna tell that S. o.B that Josh’s self destructing on the field didn’t give me my money’s worth! I want either TEN HUNDRED DOLLARS!, or 2 CASES of Busch!!

He said since I just watched the games on TV, I don’t get no money or Beer!

Why should it suprise anyone that Schiano drafted a QB after entering a contract year, earning a large salary, and having a 4 year career that could be summed up in one word…inconsistent (hence the nickname Six Flags from other players). Hopefully he had a good financial advisor during his first 5 years, I think he’ll need it.
May 31st, 2014 at 2:35 pm
Duffous finder Says
“Remember Freeman was wanting a 100 Mil extension to his contract.
I cannot stand revisionist historians. You make this crap up so much you start to believe it.
Josh Freeman NEVER insisted on a new contract and he NEVER mentioned once a dollar amount.
It was the media that talked about numbers because of other QBs that got similar deals. Flacco. Romo.
This is what I hate. A player is cut and fringe fans that do not know what they are talking about start making up all sorts of reasons for his demise and to hate on him.
Be a man. Stop making things up.

—————————————
So you mean to tell us all that you knew all about his alleged “issues” in 2012, a year of head of the rest of Buccs fans? I find that delusional I bet you’re going to tell us that you had inside intel ala Pewter Report, or have a fourth cousin that works at One Bucc. LOL
BTW, Freeman was initially let go by the Giants due to not learning the offense quick enough per pro football talk. Didnt he just sign with the Giants? How much time has he had to learn the offense? You don’t let a qb go for mistakenly lining up the offense wrong one time during a practice session let alone a scrimmage or preseason game. Hell, I’ve seen NFL qb’s accidentally line-up under center wrong. I’m thinking this has more to do with Eli’s health and depth chart, as well as Freeman’s erroneous rep. than anything else. Profootball talk quotes an unnamed Viking source that said Freeman was late for meetings. My biggest guess is that it was Leslie Frazier to who put out that false info because he was shown-up by his GM when Freeman was brought in without his permission. The move was essentially telling Coach Frazier, you don’t know what you’re doing, and it’s this guy or else. There was major dissension in Minny just like TB, and Frazier was fired. Freeman comes in on MNF unprepared and he plays horrible. Even Gruden said he should not be playing, he’s not ready. The same Gruden that said the Buccs were going to win the NFC South with Freeman in 2013. Btw, Frazier lauded Freeman at his press conference.
So how does Freeman go from the only player to show-up at Coach Toes on The Line’s first presser in the Spring of 2012 and having an incredible work ethic, to being ousted like trash in a matter of a year, despite coming off one of the best offensive seasons in recent team history? The blame falls mainly on Schiano, imo. If you tell me drugs then you’re delusional since he took a litany of drug tests and passed them all. If I had to play for Schiano myself, I’d look for escape routes.
May 31st, 2014 at 3:08 pm

Oh and by the way as literally one of the only few who was calling Freeman the bust that he was looooong before many others, I did say on numerous occasions how “off” he looked on the field and in interviews in many instances. And yes that was prior to just 2012 buddy.
You may epitomize the very essence of denial.

How do you know he had these issues in 2012? Because he looked off to you? How come no media picked-up on this issue prior to 2013? Was it that secret? Uh, no one else picked-up on how off he looked until the radio interview in 2013 where he was hungover. You’re assuming he had these prior “issues” without proof and validation. Calling Freeman a bust is laughable/delusional as well. Busts don’t make pro-bowls. Busts get cut from their team. Busts are never productive.
Oh please , kill someone? You really are delusional to think I’d support a murderer. smh
Sounds like Schiano had issues of his own…read this gem from Schiano:
(Regarding the coach being all-in on Freeman, pre-issues) –
“”That’s a question that, again, I’m not all in with myself yet, so how could I be all in with Josh Freeman or any other player?” Schiano said. “I’m not side-stepping you, but I need to evaluate.”
LOL, he wasn’t even all in on himself as an NFL head coach! Can you say “college coach”?

It also says he still continues to show up late to meetings arrive late work everyday. Sound familiar Freeman apologists. Some fans are so unbelievable sometimes. The kid is a mental case.
May 31st, 2014 at 3:32 pm
for the record, I never thought Freeman was an elite qb, never did, but he was good enough to make the playoffs (should of made the playoffs in 2010 and 2012 under Freeman) and win a super bowl (even Schiano admitted as much through his teeth). I have defended Freeman from silly baseless attacks and will continue to do so as I am now. My main issue was Schiano Man throwing the baby out with the bath water in week three. Two of the three games we should of one but lost due to the defense; essentially giving up on Freeman for his own personal reasons (you won’t convince me with invalid and unproved issues of drug addiction, mental illness, etc).. Schiano made his bed, lost the confidence in the team, and was correctly fired as as result.
I’ll support Mike Cannon (cannon is delusional as well) under a new coach despite my opinion (from day one) that he’s not starting material if the day comes he’s reinserted. McCown is our starter and gap qb for at least two years until we can find the next replacement.
As always Go Buccs…and

@feelthepewterpower
Here’s some knowledge for you:
Fact: Boomer first reported on Freeman’s partying in October 2012.
Fact: Freeman himself said in October 2013 that he had been in the drug program 18 months at that point. Meaning, roughly early 2012.
Fact: Freeman’s massive weight loss was first reported in May 2012. We also know that Freeman went from Taco Bell addict (Jeff Faine’s words) to a healthy eater. Freeman also spent much of that offseason playing soccer locally and doing other aerobic training. Joe and others confirmed that. He played pretty well in 2012.
Fact: No one truly knows why he was suspended, despite his claims of ADHD meds. The NFL is unable to confirm or deny what the positive test was for due to the collective bargaining agreement. Freeman was not suspended. –Joe
Fact: A positive test for performance enhancing drugs triggers an automatic 4 game suspension. ADHD drugs come under PEDs. So, if he tested positive for a PED he would have been suspended, not put into the program, as he claims. Meaning, it was a positive test for a drug of abuse not a PED.
It’s unclear if Freeman had a prescription and waiver for Adderrall, which he claims to, whether that would have covered him for a positive test for Ritalin, assuming he had a prescription. None of us know how the waivers are written when it comes to the class of drugs versus specifics. There’s a lot unknown from all angles. –Joe
Do the math, man.

That is probably the lowest when a team decides to cut you before you even have a chance to compete for a “backup” role, and until Josh gets his own personal demons under control his football career will continue to tumble. And I’m sure that Duemig and other Freeman apologists will keep claiming it’s Schiano’s fault or this team’s fault and that team’s fault, much like all the Tebow apologists kept doing and now look where he is……..DONE! Josh is much more talented than Tebow ever was for sure but his off field issues are killing his career and it’s now time to go to rehab while he’s young.

and he wasn’t able to learn the offense in a month, but, he was able to travel to Tampa for this?
http://thedirty.com/category/tampa/
Yeah, he seems like real professional guy. If you can’t learn the playbook you probably shouldn’t be doing what he was obviously doing.
Some of you guy are in bigger denial than he is.
Dude, this link proves nothing. What exactly is Freeman doing in this picture. Nothing. Standing in public with a woman. Freeman still lives in Tampa. He’s a resident. Should he not take a 2.5 hour flight home on his day off? You’re probably one of those guys who thinks Johnny Football is a demon for womanizing. –Joe

He could definitely make a better Micheal Sam impersonator then a Micheal Jackson impersonator.

Logic is welcomed here ODB
What are you thinking bro? Lol
Well said
May 31st, 2014 at 5:13 pm
ODB-
Seriously, deductive reasoning here, In an interview he said he lost weight by stopping late night stops at Taco Bell, who goes to Taco Bell late night? Ohhhhhhhhh……………
May 31st, 2014 at 5:14 pm
ODB,
Exactly!
Freeman and his agent are the rats.
Freeman couldn’t outperform Curtis Painter or Ryan Nassib with 6 weeks to study. He didn’t even make it to training camp.
Some UDFA from Chicago’s 2013 practice squad got the call to replace him.
He’s toast. Sadly, we are stuck with a radio host on 620 that won’t admit Freeman sucks and Glennon has potential.
May 31st, 2014 at 5:28 pm
Is not* lol whoops
May 31st, 2014 at 5:48 pm
And you probably don’t know anything about ODB 😉
Let alone anything about your love Johnny boy

Who cares about Freeman- screw that guy!
I’m on to something really cool and profitable.
I got Vegas to but odds on if PrBucfan has a masters degree, and is a clinical psychologist
OR
If he lives in a trailer, drinks Busch, and has a Glennon Shrine!
Odds are in my favor!
A Clinical Psychologist is far to busy, to spent 14 hours a day on a football site, proclaiming the Greatness of a Scrub backup QB!
Anyone that would do that, needs his head examin . . On, Wait!

Joe you should save that picture and use it for future Freeman articles.
May 31st, 2014 at 9:01 pm
I wish I believed in Glennon the way you and Couch do 87′.
I just can’t lol, hopefully he proves me wrong.
I’m pulling for McCown until he’s no longer the starter.

“Remember Freeman was wanting a 100 Mil extension to his contract.
I cannot stand revisionist historians. You make this crap up so much you start to believe it.
Josh Freeman NEVER insisted on a new contract and he NEVER mentioned once a dollar amount.
It was the media that talked about numbers because of other QBs that got similar deals. Flacco. Romo.
This is what I hate. A player is cut and fringe fans that do not know what they are talking about start making up all sorts of reasons for his demise and to hate on him.
Be a man. Stop making things up.
—————————————————————-
I am very sorry that you either cant read or you are to ignorant to understand the English language. I stated very clearly “WANTED” not demanded!
Your wrong #2 Nowhere in my post did I give a reason or any hint as to why Freeman has fallen on hard times. Guess you are just full of Sh!t.
I’m sorry, did I offend a Pennsylvania bull dog? Please don’t throw a golf club at me.
Next time, please reply to what is written, not what you think. Thinking will get you in trouble every time. Sue—

Sorry Freemanites!
Josh just doesn’t have a passion for the game.
Thank goodness for Mike Glennon.
Years from now, we will look back fondly of Schiano for: drafting talent, and cutting ties with Freeman.
If only we had traded Freeman in the offseason before the 2013 season, when we still could’ve fleeced a 7th rounder for him (NOTHING!)
June 1st, 2014 at 4:24 am
High hopes you have there Stevek.
Glennon may get a shot in the future but he’s by no means shown anyone that he has what it takes to change his game to the point to where he would succeed.
All Glennon is, is a guy that is going to get a shot.
But he’ll have to wait till McCown gets his shot first 😉 lol

You guys know that Molly isn’t just a girl’s name, right? I think the woman he is with in that picture is inferring Free is having a really good time…

“I noticed you ignored my post directing before it……… Huh? –Joe’
Sorry, should have typed “directly”, not “directing”. Meaning: I noticed you commented on that, but not on my long post just before it, beginning with Boomer’s article. All that before worked up to going to a concert while you could have been learning your playbook.
June 1st, 2014 at 2:29 pm
Oh, you did. Sorry didn’t look first.
