Ammonia-Sniffing Baker Mayfield
September 4th, 2024
Talks Week 1.
Hardcore Bucs fans have heard the mic’d up segments with right tackle Luke Goedeke screaming for “smellies.”
They’re classics.
The smellies (for most players) are smelling smalts, which are a form of ammonia. Nasty stuff. Some might call it dangerous, too. But use is a common practice in the NFL. A sniff or two and alertness hits a new level.
Baker Mayfield said he’s a user today — even if he’s already amped for opening day.
“Week 1 energy is always really special,” Mayfield said, “Hit a little ammonia packet and I’m ready to roll.”
Todd Bowles literally was banging his podium and screaming in excitement today. No joke. (Joe will share that later.) Mayfield was extra loose, too, cracking a few jokes at his news conference.
Mayfield noted how key it is to relax and have fun on opening day, the reward for a hard offseason of work.

A different Todd is an excellent sign.

Let’s hope he performs well and leads the team on early TD drives in the first half for a change or this team won’t make the playoffs and fans will want him benched.

Yes, a season-opening drive for a TD would be very welcome.

On a different note, I’m watching some of these videos from Gruden’s YouTube channel. I’m not a Gruden fan, but his video of him showing off his Fired Football Coaches Association building is quite entertaining.

LT and Michael Irving had other things they smelled that worked even better.
The good old 80s.

Baker Mayfield is sniffing ammonia packets and our former QB C. Simms is sniffing glue. Bucs will miss the playoffs? 👌
Go Bucs!!!

They didn’t test for illegal drugs until after their careers were done. Everyone could have white powder in their system back then…and 90s

Time to trade Trashy Trask and get a back up o lineman…..stop wasting time with a dude who’s not ever gonna be a real starter in the NFL.
Baker doesn’t have to lead the team to opening drive td’s, just manage the game and get the “W”

Bucs are 1-0 by 8 o’clock Sunday.

90’s bruv, I was there….

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

It’s not just the mood morph. Guys want all the air they can get into their lungs and many wear “Breathe right” strips. I wear them at night if my sinuses are a bit swollen and they work. I also use off the shelf nasal inhalers. I’ve seen the strips on many NFL noses.

Why are the Buccaneers only favored by 3 at home. Smart money is on Washington.

Devin White hits poppers…..before games!

@Dewey: Jalapeño?

These guys are overconfident.

If Todd stays with his commitment to leave the offense to Coen and Baker, the Bucs should cover that spread. Have LVD spy the running QB. Have the DBs knowing their assignments on every call, no blown 3rd and 17 conversions. Bucs win.
Win. Just win. Sunday.

The clip of Todd Bowles breaking into genuine hysterics was classic last night. Hope that’s a good omen. Go Bucs!!

Can we give some to JTS and Hall please!
Go Bucs!

Is it true Devon White’s already being traded from Philly
