No Nicks — Day 2
July 25th, 2014
Joe’s partners at WDAE-AM 620 had Lovie Smith on the air this afternoon and later reported that Carl Nicks will not be at training camp today, the opening day of on-field activities.
Feel free to speculate.
Joe’s heard loud rumblings that Nicks’ Bucs career is over. Stick with Joe through the night for all kinds of news from training camp.

He tried to come back.
Just impossible.
May he enjoy a wonderful retirement that the rest of us can only dream about.
Omameh and Meredith.
Oops.

Anyone calculated how much money he’s going to get from the 9 games he played?
Or do we want to know?
July 25th, 2014 at 4:31 pm
I know we all loved the move when he first came, and that first drive during the MIA preseason game was fantastic. But unfortuantely, he is only one man. It’s time to move on.
New season is here, NOW!
and so is Anthony Collins and Dietrich-Smith… LETS GO BUCS!

If he retires the Bucs dont have to pay that guaranteed money right?
July 25th, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Joe didn’t you say yesterday in a comment it was family related? If that’s the case everyone needs to relax..
July 25th, 2014 at 4:38 pm
You don’t say!
July 25th, 2014 at 4:39 pm
If you really believe that it’s “family related” or “personal reason” you would not make a very good HR person.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:41 pm
In the neighborhood of $3.5 million per game played?
Awesome.

@Nick H
Maybe you shouldn’t speak for awhile…
Joe Says:

BC:
It is family related.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:45 pm
If its family related fly them down here.. you had all off season.. I dont want this drama queen on my team anymore…unless sum1 is about to die.. I dont want to hear it…
July 25th, 2014 at 4:46 pm
Still waiting for Gerald to return his robe.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:46 pm
Anyone can say it’s family related. It matters not it’s very, very clear why he’s not there.
You can say it’s related to the end of the world and it doesn’t make it true.
Dude’s toe is done, he’s done.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:47 pm
and here come the ignorant comments…
Not directed at you Tom I found yesterdays comment funny as well as that one
July 25th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
Please enlighten me how everyone tells the truth always, all the time no matter what?
Cmon now don’t be naive.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:51 pm
hahahahahah here’s quote for you bud
Jay Glazer @JayGlazer
Pro Bowl guard Carl Nicks’ time with the Bucs is over. He and the team have agreed on an amicable settlement.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:51 pm
Why would Joe lie about that? Or why would Nicks lie about that? If he’s hurt then they would have put him on PUP list does them no harm in doing that right now…smh
July 25th, 2014 at 4:53 pm
I’m sorry it’s really not that funny, we need that guy. REALLY could’ve used a true pro bowl O lineman too so I wish him the best, just not ALL the best if he plays somewhere else later in life
July 25th, 2014 at 4:55 pm
@Nick, watch out, the comment police are on scene.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:55 pm
It is family related, his wife won’t let him play on one foot.
“If he retires the Bucs dont have to pay that guaranteed money right?”
The chances of Nicks retiring are about the same as you winning the Powerball twice in a row.
Still say the gauntlets toughens up those sissy football players?
July 25th, 2014 at 4:57 pm
If he could still play he’d be here with us I’d imagine. Don’t think he’ll ever play again.
July 25th, 2014 at 4:59 pm
Well it was family related as he said it would be best for him and his family lol
July 25th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
Lol yeah all the time in the world to take care of those personal/family things, with a whole boat load of cash he stowed away too
July 25th, 2014 at 5:02 pm
He couldn’t help the MRSA thing though and whatever the hell happened to his now famous big toe..
July 25th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
I agree, nothing he could have done. Just a real, real bad hand he was dealt. Why couldn’t Free be the MRSA casualty??
July 25th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
Well I think it is just his big toe in general not the MRSA thing that is causing the retirement thing.
July 25th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
Atleast that is what everyone is reporting
July 25th, 2014 at 5:18 pm
Yeah you’re right, the chronic toe thing was the deal breaker.
Just disdain for Freeman showing through

“The chances of Nicks retiring are about the same as you winning the Powerball twice in a row.”
Awesome someone here will be winning the Powerball twice then! Might be time for a new crystal ball? 🙂
