Your Buccaneers’ Pool Player Rankings
November 21st, 2014
Hey, it’s Friday. Happy hour approaches.
So in the happy hour spirit of dart throwing, pool playing and business-babe gawking, Joe has important stats for you.
Speaking on the Buccaneers Radio Network this week, Gerald McCoy talked about the heated competition on the One Buc Palace pool tables.
McCoy ranked the contenders in the building.
1. Michael Koenen
2. Gerald McCoy
3. Patrick Murray
4T. Mike Evans
4T. Johnthan Banks
6. Doug Martin
Evans, McCoy said, is a very angry competitor, and Doug Marin is vulnerable to trash talk.

Punter, GMC, Kicker top 3. I get the punter and the kicker of course (probably the best golfers too), but GMC? Interesting.

Well it’s not like koenen spend his time practicing football!
November 21st, 2014 at 4:30 pm
In so far as Koenen is concerned…..the game is more like SNOOKER
Slang meaning…..to take advantage of; “cheat”, “swindle”.

Bucrightoff, what does that have to do with anything? They’re not kicking the 9 into the side pocket. Although it would be pretty cool to see.

Kickers have more free time/less physically demanding jobs. On most teams the punters and kickers are actually excellent golfers. Just like in baseball pitchers tend to be the best golfers.

Hard to trash talk when you never play #22.

I actually enjoy random tidbits like this. Sometimes light news enjoyable

Surprised martin can see over the table

I think in so far as Koenen is concerned…..the game is more like SNOOKER
Slang meaning…..to take advantage of; “cheat”, “swindle”.

Funny how you can play pool w a broken hand but I digress.

Notice how LVD isn’t playing pool, probably too busy watching tape and getting ready for the next opponent.

He named the top 6 in his opinion. What makes you think LVD doesn’t play pool? Are these guys not allowed to enjoy leisurely activities? Focus is good and priorities are better but I guarantee football 24/7 isn’t the answer. Camaraderie is important.
Also, you can play pool with a broken hand. In fact, I’d bet a brace would make an excellent bridge.

I thought joe was exaggerating when he said JBF traffic dies down when the bucs lose but d*mn
2-8 = 14 comments per article. Smh
At least we have the Winston watch articles. Lol
Umm, Joe never said “dies.” Joe explained to the haters that of course Joe roots for the Bucs. One because Joe is a fan, but also because winning always equals more traffic than losing. Most fans wouldn’t believe that Joe’s traffic is actually highest through the offseason. –Joe

Reading some of your comments is both hilarious and pathetic. Some people just know nothing but b!tching like little girls. And if that offends you, then chances are you are one of those little girls.
November 21st, 2014 at 9:02 pm
Good one Hawaiian. My sentiments exactly! Well said.
November 21st, 2014 at 10:27 pm
Hawaiian,
Are you bitching about the little girls bitching?
No one should be happy at 2-8, fans included. I am glad that the guys find ways to compete and build a stronger team.
Most of the commenters here are die hards. They can bitch, it’s their opinion and it’s a free country.

@SteveK,
Dude, calm down. This freaking article is about freaking billiards!!! We’ve got MORONS complaining that these guys (which conveniently happen to be the same guys they ALWAYS complain about) who is good at pool, insinuating that if they are good at pool, they aren’t putting in the work. That’s too ridiculous for words, and you know it. So yes, they can b!tch, but I can call them out on it. If you agree with them, then I don’t have to tell you what that makes you. I think you’re a pretty smart guy (I actually agree with you a helluva lot more than I don’t), so I would imagine you see exactly how b!tchy these little girls are being.

Haha I am glad they compete more than just on the field. This builds a team.
We just need to draft the “nasty” (D or O linemen). It ain’t pretty, but it’s still a trench war. Easiest way to control the game is to control the line of scrimmage. It’s easier to find a guy to block or put the QB on his ass then it is to find the savior at QB.
Why pay GMC $98 million to not surround him another superior talent?

Why these guys? They have better eye hand coordination. Hawaiian Buc, I never agree with you till now. “Reading some of your comments is both hilarious and pathetic. Some people just know nothing but b!tching like little girls. And if that offends you, then chances are you are one of those little girls.”
If Martin is susceptible to trash talk, that can be(or has been) bad already.
