11 Days From The NFL Schedule Release

April 30th, 2023

Joe absolutely loves the next spring high holy day of the NFL.

It’s the schedule release. That’s when the league unveils every date, time and location of the following season’s games. This year, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, it will be Thursday, May 11.

Prior to that, of course, dates will leak and preseason information will made public. (The Bucs will have two preseason road games this season and one at home.)

On that glorious day, Joe will join many tens of thousands of Bucs fans in starting to immediately plan trips to games and family outings around the NFL schedule. Endless dudes and ladies will explain to their loved ones why they can’t attend the wedding of the beloved moron who scheduled a wedding at 3 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon in October.

More important, so many fans will put that schedule in their phone calendar, on their refrigerator and memorize it like it’s the Ten Commandments or their girlfriend’s iPhone password.

Joe hopes the Bucs open with some “easier” games. Week 1 in Indianapolis followed by a home opener against Carolina would be a beautiful thing.

The last thing this team needs is a slow start. It’ll be important for the Bucs’ new quarterback to not be under the weight of a freaking out fan base after an 0-2 opening to the season.

On the road in San Francisco followed by hosting the Eagles is not what Joe wants to see in Weeks 1 and 2.

    If you think Carolina is going to be an easy win you’re a bigger clown than I thought. The word was “easier.” And if you think catching a rookie QB with a new head coach in Week 2 isn’t a plus, then Joe can’t help you. Also, Frank Reich teams haven’t gotten off to fast starts. –Joe

    UDFA obsessing is far more interesting than schedule release. We already know who they’re playing.

    I’ll be at the SF game again. Not sure if i’m crazy expecting a better result this time..

    Disrespectful post, Ramblin, and you got your arse handed to you as a result.

    The first thing I look at is our home games 1pm times so I can mentally prepare myself for that heat. Last few years it’s been amazing almost 0 1 pm home games

    Lol… this is a football comment forum if “someone “ can’t handle being called a “clown “ … lol 😂

    What’s being a jerk have to do with a football forum? It may be part of your generation, but not mine. You get what you give.

    Children, behave. I plan stuff around games, and I’m a bonafide clown. Even perform at birthday parties. I’m no John Wayne Gacy, but I do my best

  9. SB~LV Says:

    Redeemer … you preform as a clown at birthday parties 🙃

  10. Redeemer Says:

    Adult birthday parties LV. Half clown half stripper. It’s a great gig. The elderly population still loves clowns and naked dudes.

    hahahaha! That’s me! I kiss my wife goodbye in September and kiss her hello in February!

    I forgot he was coaching the Panthers now.

    Let’s just hope we can somehow put a team together that can win the division. That would be freaking huge. Also, it looks like we were able to pick up a couple of real intriguing UDFA’s. Someone or two always makes the team from that list. It would be great if we could hit on another Earnest Graham or Cam Brate.

    Thankfully my grandfather set the rules on this for my family. He said if you have a Sunday wedding from Sept-Feb, he wasn’t going, and it’s because he’d rather watch football. If you disrespect that rule, then that’s on the a-holes getting married, not him.

    He cleared the path for future generations since now it’s a family tradition, and we can’t break that rule in honor of his memory.

    Nobody reacting to my stripper clown show is baffling. LV, I know you’d love the performance. It’s tasteful and dignified, even with my clothes off. Redeemer is no magic Mike, but I’m good at what I do, and always give my money’s worth

  17. Derobbins Says:

    Redeemer. Quit the attention seeking. It wasn’t that clever.

    I am guessing the Bucs get one Thursday night game but that might be it for a prime time or national audience game as there is no TB12 to get the ratings. Bucs play Bills on the road who are a home team for the 2023 Euro-UK tour. Bucs could go as the away team but the Glazers are like the Jags and usually only go as the home team and lose a true home game so doubtful.
