“I Eat Free”
January 22nd, 2015
Gerald McCoy headed to the BSPN Radio studios today and joined the famous Mike & Mike show to talk about all kinds of topics and have some fun.
Joe took notes.
Here are the highlights:
First, McCoy shared that he has his own radio show in Tampa, which airs on WDAE-AM 620 during football season. It broadcasts live from an Outback restaurant, and McCoy revealed what he loves about the program. “I eat free,” McCoy said, saying he loves having his way with the menu.
However, McCoy talked about his strict dietary regimen on most days. His regular breakfast? Egg whites and a bowl of fruit. His lunch before practice? Fish and veggies.
“When you eat the bad stuff you feel sluggish,” McCoy said.
There is some cheating on the diet, McCoy said; he heads to Krispy Kreme every Saturday to buy donuts for the entire Bucs roster.
McCoy doesn’t know much about deflated balls, and he said offensive linemen hold on every play and the best O-linemen are simply the guys who hold best — and get away with it.
He revealed that referees rub down players entering the field to determine whether they have unlawful lubricant on their jerseys intended to slime an opponent.
On the personal front, McCoy said his 13-year-old son won’t be allowed on Twitter until he’s 15 or 16.
Bucs coaches, McCoy said, are always hounding players after games wanting to know if opponents did anything unexpected.
For those wondering, McCoy bowed out of Sunday’s Pro Bowl. He was replaced by Sheldon Richardson last week.

And here comes the McCoy hate from the same ‘ol people.

He may eat free, but I also have it on good authority that McCoy is a great tipper. Doesn’t really mean much but its nice of him anyways.
January 22nd, 2015 at 4:18 pm
Andrew 1 – you have heard correctly a buddy of mine is in the service industry and raves about how classy mccoy is not a front genuine good dude which is rare in society today.

Tipping really well is a profound sign of empathy, humility, and respect. I’d love it if we could fill our roster with high-character guys like McCoy who do things the right way (on & off the field).
January 22nd, 2015 at 4:41 pm
Come to TX and eat at Shipley’s Donuts; Krispy Kreme or any other donut store can’t compare to it.
January 22nd, 2015 at 4:44 pm
13 year old son? Either he is a step dad or had a kid when he was 15?
January 22nd, 2015 at 4:53 pm
Deflated balls and lubricated jerseys…..what the hell kinda football is this?!
January 22nd, 2015 at 4:54 pm
There is this awesome donut &deli right down dale mabry before the stadium
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:02 pm
I understand to completely but I always think it’s funny that the richest people in the world get to eat free.
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:02 pm
Fish, I would’nt touch it with a ten foot pole. Who can trust it after Fukishima?
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:05 pm
Being only one of two really, really good players on the roster, Gerald deserves a free meal….
Lovie should have to pay double!
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:06 pm
Reminds me of the old Dire Straits classic from the 80’s about MTV and being a rock star.
“Money for nothing and your chicks for free”.
Well the chicks used to be free but these days you better get them to sign a statement that they actually wanted to have sex with you. And if you’re worth enough money…have a couple of witnesses…and if you’re poor Famous Jameis get the two witnesses..,to the signing not the sex lol…and make sure the document is notarized!
Of course that’s not the way GMC rolls so he’s good with the free food.
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:08 pm
Wait!
Gerald has a 13yo son? He had him at 13???
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:14 pm
“Wait!

Not that it matters, but no.
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:15 pm
I wanna say that’s a typo and is supposed to be 3 years old, though maybe he was getting down a young age….
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:16 pm
LOL
GMC had a kid when he was 14 but says his 13 yr old can’t go on twitter till he is 15.

First of all, he isn’t the biological father. But again, it doesn’t matter. Second, as a parent myself, you have every right to have double standards. If you don’t understand that, then you obviously don’t have children.
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:23 pm
Oh great the whole team eats Krispy Kreme the day before games, that explains a lot.
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:24 pm
Aunt Geraldine should have explained what was up with his Whodini act every game beginning in the 2nd quarter.
January 22nd, 2015 at 5:27 pm
My goodness, some of you are even worse than I thought.

That’s all fine and dandy. I wonder how many Super Bowls a team like that would win. Probably ZERO. Teams need some dirtbags, definitely on the field, and perhaps guys that are a little bit of loose cannons off the field. Warren Sapp, Simeon Rice, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch, and Ronde Barber were great talents, but all completely different people. Sapp was the dirtbag on and off the field, Rice was the media whore, Brooks was the Tom Brady-highly respected off the field-but did whatever it took to win on Sundays, Lynch and Barber were very similar off the field, well-spoken, eloquent, but on the field, both were film junkies with a flare for the big play. Again, I don’t give an EFF if a guy is a gentleman, give me at least 30 great footballs players, please!

You probably don’t know much about health and fitness but I’ll clue you in. It’s called carb-loading. Eating a buttload of carbs the day before or the morning of a game is actually smart. The body needs energy. Carbohydrates enter the bloodstream as glycogen which is then used to fuel the muscle. For optimal athletic performance, carbs should not be restricted before athletic events.

His son should only be nine. According to this article, McCoy had a son at the age of 17. http://www.cbn.com/700club/guests/interviews/Gerald_McCoy010709.aspx

Who gives a shhhhit what they eat. Just produce!

I’m pretty familiar with getting and staying in shape and have friends who run in marathons and a couple who have done St. Anthony’s.
Yes Carb loading is practiced by a lot of people. But eating glazed donuts the day before the game is not carb loading. The quality of your carbs is critical as is the timing of the loading. And the loading must be preceded by a week of reduced carbs. The posters making fun of picking up Krispy Kreme are correct. Not saying that had anything to do with the poor play but it’s certainly not healthy.
But don’t take my word for it…

LMFAO! Everyone here is a diet expert. LMFAO. Did you guys get your degree from GNC?
January 22nd, 2015 at 6:06 pm
It’s hilarious that people can be so up tight about meaningless stuff. Seriously people,SMDH.
January 22nd, 2015 at 6:23 pm
If you think a professional athlete can’t burn off a couple donuts the day before a game, then you’ve obviously never worked out before.
January 22nd, 2015 at 6:24 pm
Right?
I just knew there would be people in here with something to complain about. I’m just surprised no one in here called him a bust yet.
January 22nd, 2015 at 6:26 pm
LMMFAO @ you trying to sell Krispy Kreme as “good” carbs.
please stop.
January 22nd, 2015 at 6:28 pm
Not a diet expert, just over the age of the average college student and knows some basic eating principles.
Please keep quite. Besides your bullshit name (especially given the fact that you created it after the “incident” and have referred to yourself as you actually are him), your ignorance is starting to show your age.

@Celly
I guess in your world there can only be one Ray Rice. I will make sure I tell my mother that.
FYI- I don’t give a shhhit if you are over the age of an average college kid. Is that supposed to give you credibility? Not with me guy!

*sigh* What’s happened to us?
January 22nd, 2015 at 8:04 pm
@Howard
2-14. That’s what happened.
January 22nd, 2015 at 8:38 pm
Eating krsipy kreme before games is terrible. Without a doubt. They are filled with refined sugar. Terrible thing to eat on Saturday. For sure. Anyone arguing against that is crazy.
McCoy should stop his ritual. Amd bring smoothies instead.
Hippy Era!

@ Connor
Dead on brother
… why there isn’t a Shipley’s in Dallas tho is beyond me
January 22nd, 2015 at 9:22 pm
Alright, are you guys seriously that uptight? He didn’t say he gave them a dozen doughnuts each! My goodness, some of you truly have issues. So you think a 300 pound guy eating a couple doughnuts on a Saturday is really a deal? It’s not even a teeny tiny deal!!! Some of you really need to get a life.

Lol. I love JoeBucsFan but we dodged that Manziel bullet.
If Joe got his way it would have hit us right between the eyes.
Manziel would have set this franchise back to the stone age.

Shipley’s donuts are great, but here in Round Rock, TX we have Round Rock Donuts. They are the best around, and they were on the show Man vs. Food.

*sigh* What’s happened to us?
We are Bucs fans Mr Cosell who have lived through Culverhouse, Leeman, Sam Wyche and even seen snow in 1977 and this fan got the day off from middle school in Temple Terrace all those years ago and made a snowball wearing his Bucs jacket that my parents bought from the Sears at University Square when it was actually a cutting edge mall… Its good being a Buc fan even though the team currently sucks, comes with the territory for those of us who grew up in the Bay area! But back to the posters; what did you expect from people posting on a BB of a team that intentionally tanked its way to the 1st overall draft pick????
January 23rd, 2015 at 3:24 pm
All I got out of that story was Krispy Kreme…yum!
January 24th, 2015 at 1:33 am
Derp, donuts made us go 2-14. Herp derp.
