Lovie: “No Truth To That”
December 8th, 2014
Bucs overlord of all things football, Lovie Smith, spoke from the One Buc Palace podium this afternoon and said Gerald McCoy did not dislocate his knee cap yesterday. That was the claim after the game from ProFootballTalk.com.
“No truth to that,” Lovie said.
Lovie also went on to say McCoy only had a “bruise” and the Bucs would never put McCoy on the field with any kid of serious injury.
So that slams the door on that discussion. But Rick Stroud’s Monday report, citing a comment from McCoy, remains curious. Of course, McCoy is the only guy who really knows how much pain or discomfort he was having. Perhaps McCoy knows he pushed it too far.

“Slams the door on the discussion”
Yeah, Lovie has never lied to the media or fans…Oh wait, that is his reputation! SMH

Ask the Cannon about just how sincere Lovie is.

Pfft “the Cannon”, Mike Glennon is the most Average Quarterback I’ve ever seen. No one can know why Lovie chose to proclaim him the Qbotf, but I wouldn’t question his honesty because of that.

“No truth to that”….oh how I wish the question was “You are returning as coach next year?”

It’s been very interesting to read the anti Lovie posts…..the guy could absolutely fall on his sword and still be criticized for that….no matter what he says, he’s wrong.
I’ll be the first to say that he’s made big mistakes….but, I won’t accuse him of trying to torpedo our best player….

Lovie the Liar

Yea thanks for overreacting as usual Joe. You only blasted the coaches without knowing the details. Seems to be a common theme lately.

If anything can go wrong @ One Buc Place it usually does so anytime I hear about devastating injuries concerning the Bucs few franchise players, well you can only hope that its not true. Sometimes I wonder if someone @ One Buc made a deal with the devil to get the Lombardi after the 2002 season as it seems the club has had no luck but bad cursed luck since that win in San diego….. To me it seems like the franchise has regressed to the depths of the mid ’80s ala Culverhouse and Leeman Bennett, it can not get much worse can it??????

Florio from PFT is outright calling Lovie Smith a liar. Redux of the HiPAA, MRSA stuff from last season. Muckracker Florio at it again. Nothing to see here, JBF.

Since when did Lovie start speaking the truth? The more he talks, the more he looks like the fool he is.

Any proof than Lovie Smith is a better coach than Greg Shciano?
December 8th, 2014 at 9:29 pm
I its a bruise, there is no point in sitting him, unless its to tank the rest of the season…which I am in favor of.
Still, if he CAN play, I say let him get his double digits for the first time. In fact, I would make the defense focus on helping him do so. Not like we want them working hard for any other reason at this point.

Yeah, how about leading the Bears to the playoffs and division titles multiple times and to one Super Bowl?
What did Schiano do? Oh yeah, almost won the Big East, finished second two times. 68-67 record…. in college. 5-16 record in his last 21 games in the NFL… he was quite the star.

Let me Re-Phrase…..
Any proof that Lovie Smith is an UpGrade over Greg Schiano?
Any proof that the bucs are better off (besides getting top 3 draft pick) with Lovie vs Schiano.

Lovie is an upgrade by his reputation of his past accomplishments. You know like how Josh McCown played last season or Michael Johnson played a few years back with the Bengals. Past reputation translates into success. We should all see the logic in it. This Bucs season has enlightened us in so many ways to confirm it.

A dislocated knee can be a minor dislocation that relocates and causes swelling and bruising. So while he might have dislocated his knee, he didn’t necessarily play with it dislocated. Bellichick is a liar as well, he’s also the best coach.
