More Hysterical Team Glazer Bashing
January 11th, 2016
Joe doesn’t understand why some people expect fish to fly and birds to swim.
This is basically what it comes down to, almost in a childish rant, for those who demand Team Glazer show up to talk publicly about firing Lovie Smith.
Hello, Jason Licht already explained it. In detail.
What, Team Glazer regurgitating what Licht said will somehow make Lovie return as coach for the midwives and apologists and sycophants who have been bawling in a towel for poor Lovie (who has a $10 million parachute paid for by Team Glazer, Joe might add)?
This just in: Team Glazer, uncomfortable in the public spotlight, speaks once a year (at the spring NFL owners meetings) or sometimes twice a year (an appearance during training camp). Demanding they be Jerry Jones is like asking President Obama to be a champion of the Second Amendment, or socialist Pope Francis to be a vocal supporter of Planned Parenthood. C’mon!
What exactly is Team Glazer going to change by standing up and repeating Licht’s answers? Nothing, that’s what.
This just in: Team Glazer will be around when the Bucs announce a new coach. They very likely will answer questions then. Calm down.
Pardon Joe, but there’s a corrupt clown who married into the Walmart family, a guy hellbent on trying to uproot a franchise from a city willing to pay for a new stadium. And he hasn’t make a public appearance there in years — years!
That, friends, is a true outrage, not Team Glazer waiting for a few days to discuss a coaching change.

@Joe
Be lucky that I am not one of the Glazers!!! If it was I would never speak personally to the media and, I would stop the under utilization of the Pirate ship!
When the flag on the pirate ship would rise, that would indicate that a statement would be made at 5 p.m. that day. The media would walk up to the pirate ship and then the canons would fire! an actor dressed and speaking pirate would then walkout and read my statements!!!!
The real payoff for me though would be in year 2 and 3, when the media was already sick of it, But still the canons and smoke go off in their faces and they have to listen to some guy saying that ” arrr Lovie had to walk de plank arrrr”!!!

@Realist
I don’t care about anything else you’ve written on this site. You’ve stolen my idea before I’ve had the ingenuity to have the idea myself. Well played.
@Joe
I’ve seen a fish fly (glide) and a bird swim. I appreciate all the hard work you put towards my favorite website but maybe you should step outside and enjoy our Florida nature every once in a while.

@realist – you should go all out and start paying players and coaches with coins in treasure chests.

I’ve always thought the ship was underutilized, but more for a gameplay perspective. Why do we not fire cannon volleys at the visiting team’s warm up or bench? Seems like a waste of perfectly good cannons.

@patrick in va
Now that is the creative thinking that we all need around here!!!! If you make the pro-bowl, instead of a cash bonus they will get a treasure map to where the bonus is!!!!!!!!

@TBR – I can’t get out of my head instead of an actor I keep seeing the Glazers —– dressed and speaking pirate would then walkout and read “the” statements!!!!
Like Espo I don’t have your point of view on other Buc’s issues. But I have to admit this is funny…

The Glazers can do whatever they want. They owe us nothing, and they certainly do not owe the media anything. However, their actions do reek of incompetence and a lack of leadership.
January 11th, 2016 at 7:00 am
Atta baby Realist!
Buc Fans need to come up with hilarious ways to stomach our ineptitude,thanks for the laugh.
January 11th, 2016 at 7:01 am
No, actually, most fans are good with the owners.
It’s the Tampa Bay sports media we’re bashing – all due to their all out assault if they don’t get what they want. Whether it be Interviews, considerations, whatever.
We think you’re mostly against our team – its too easy for you, you’re fickle and so shallow that you grow bored and dissatisfied with coaches YOU don’t like.
Then you launch an all out assault agains the owners, the fans, whomever.
January 11th, 2016 at 7:02 am
Sorry for getting all serious. Carry on.
January 11th, 2016 at 7:35 am
There needs to be controversy in order to fill the 24/7/365…..cable/Internet….with news and with sports….It doesn’t hurt to have a bit on JBF either.
January 11th, 2016 at 7:43 am
I never feel better after listening to the Glazer boys anyhow.
Less can be more.
Nothing other than winning matters as I guess soon to be head coach Koetter said.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:07 am
I love the Glazers.

Lol, Howard used to be the only person that questioned the Glazers. Now it’s the new fad with the ridiculous TMZ national media.
Howard actually feels like the Glazers are finally stepping up to the plate and putting some real effort into making this team a winner for once.
Howard is happy with the Glazers moves of late. It makes Howard think that they actually want to win (unlike so many non-moves in the recent past).
Howard has a felling that the Bucs are finally going to turn the corner in 2016 and be back to a perennial contender.
Go Team Glazer!
Make the right choice.

Seriously I live in Denver these days, and the nickname for Stan Kroenke is “Silent Stan”. Silent Stan is absolutely amazing. He has managed make lives miserable for sports fans in nearly all the major sports in the WORLD!! All Kroenke teams are mediocre or outright terrible. He made Arsenal mediocre, the Avalanche mediocre, the Nuggets downright awful, the Rams mediocre. He NEVER comes to games for ANY of these teams. He just milks the money off them. Worst owner in ANY sport and no one ever calls him out but they want the Glazers to make speeches?!
January 11th, 2016 at 10:01 am
Realist, now THAT was some funny 💩!
January 11th, 2016 at 11:16 am
Realist..
Glad to have you back…now that Lovie’s gone you’re free to use ALL of you wit.
I’m happy the Glazers are low key. They have done NOTHING to offend me.
Their worst act as owners was to make sure their entire extended family was fabulously wealthy for life. The mortgaged the Bucs for about five years to pull that off but at the end of the day it IS a business!!!
As soon as the Glazers consolidated their ManU deal their interest seemed to return to the Bucs.
I do not want a Jerry Jones, Daniel Snyder, ego maniac as our owners.
I think we perhaps take the Glazers for granted simply because they checked out for a few years to take care of their entire family. Trust me…ManU means not just the boys…but their EXTENDED family is now set for life. Can we really blame them for that?
January 11th, 2016 at 12:07 pm
I just wish they’d make better decisions is all. I don’t care if they ever speak publicly!
Thanks for the reprieve Realist! Might want to watch for scurvy outbreaks though!

I disagree. Whoever made the call to fire Lovie should be the one(s) to man the podium at the press conference.
If the reports are correct that Licht called Lovie that night to setup a meeting with the Glazers where he would be fired, then clearly it was a call by the Glazers.
What does it say about them if they show up the press conference to announce the new coach, but they were not there to announce the firing of the old coach?
In my humble opinion, the Glazers are acting like cowards by hiding from the criticism but willing to bask in the glow of the new coaching hire.
January 11th, 2016 at 7:53 pm
Not only should the Glazers be bashed, but the media and fans in Tampa should be hung as well. I challenge you to look at the consistent winners in the NFL. They are the ones who built steadily. They stayed with their HC and coaches over a period of time. Very few, if any winning consistently team were..flashes in the Pan. And that’s what we are looking for. I can’t wait for Koetter’s spins and excuses once the losing starts. But hell, you guys wanted him..And you..got him!
January 11th, 2016 at 8:10 pm
Who cares if they speak or not publicly. I for sure don’t. They made a business decision and decided to make a change. I for one am grateful. Lovie has always been a mediocre coach. Koetter would be a great move as long as we get a real DC. Losing Koetter would set back Jameis, that would be the truly stupid move. So keeping them together will do nothing but improve Jameis at a quicker pace. He is our future. Not a middle of the pack coach. I am excited for the coming season already. We have a great shot at the playoffs, unless we totally botch the coaching hires. Which I do not believe will be the case.
But for someone to attack our owners for not speaking is crazy to me. At least they aren’t on the sidelines acting like jackasses. Or trying to be in every interview. They are committed to winning. We have a good draft position and $50,000,000 reasons to help improve our team even more in free agency. Be grateful we have owners that are committed to improving the team and striving for playoff success. They had their Man U years. Now the focus is on the Bucs. If you have such a problem with them, pick one of the other teams in the league to hate on constantly.
