Be Like Mike

May 23rd, 2015
Bucs WR Mike Evans, a former high school basketball star, still has the moves on the hardwood.

Bucs WR Mike Evans, a former Texas high school basketball star, still has the hops.

It is summertime!

Joe loves it. Time for all sorts of R&R. Warm/hot weather + scantily-clad, tanned babes and alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.

It’s called “living.”

But not everyone is enjoying fun in the sun. Some take to the indoors. For example, Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans. A former Texas high school basketball star, Evans decided football was his future, but apparently, hoops remains a passion.

So Evans took to a gym to show off his skills and his hops. See if you can be like Mike on the hardwood.

    I do this all the time, nothing to see here people just keep on moving along.

  2. Hawk Says:

    Didn’t the Bucs lose the services of a kicker who decided to play hoops?

  3. WyomingBucsFan Says:

    You can almost see his ACL and MCL tearing from the bone…

  4. lurker Says:

    lame…that was not regulation height!

  5. lurker Says:

    he gets hurt from a slight touch from a defender, that is why he plays alone.

  6. Buccfan37 Says:

    My worst injuries in my youth were from playing pickup basketball and football, torn finger webbing, bad ankle sprain and torn knee cartlilage. Even slow paced solo activity will produce occasional injury. Take it easy Mike.

  7. Doug balls Says:

    Lurker is lame

  8. BucGator Says:

    @lurker, how do you know it’s not regulation? Everyone needs to quit hating all the time. We can all get injured going through every day life. I look at as this guy staying in top physical shape.

  9. SuperSam Says:

    This just in, Marcus Mariota has Nfl’S best selling jersey in May. Winston is Americas quarterback huh Joe? America seems to think differently.

  10. Firethecannons Says:

    @hawk. That’s why he’s a kicker lol

  11. Dave Pear Says:

    SubPar Sam,
    I’m pretty sure Tim Tebow’s jersey was a number one selling jersey too.
    What’s your point?

  12. SuperSam Says:

    My point is America still hates the bad guys and loves the good guys. Sorry WinsNONE.

  13. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    Your comment sounds so stupid I won’t even take the liberty of saying your name.

  14. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    Now what the hell is a winsNone? You can’t be referring to WINSton,you know that guy that won a high school state championship,A Heismen and a national championship for good measure. Naah that can’t be who you’re referring to bright guy.

  15. BuccaneerBonzai Says:

    SuperSam brings up a legit point.

    Winston will not be liked nationally for a long time. All you have to do is read the comments on him on any national sports website.

    They hate him.

    Plus, Winston has the whole butt ugly Bucs uniforms counting against him.

  16. BuccaneerBonzai Says:

    @Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun

    I think he is referring to his future NFL record. A bit too son to tell in the long term how he’ll do, but he might be right in the short term. Probably won’t be Winston’s fault though.

  17. WalkdaPlank Says:

    Of course Mariota is outselling Winston in jerseys, who the hell would want to wear a clown suit/fast food uniform to a football game, or anywhere else for that matter?

  18. The original "Kevin" Says:

    Notice how guys in the nfl get injured more and more every year????Im glad he is staying active. Keep it up Mike!!!!!!

  19. Buc-A-New Says:

    You guys hatin’ on Mike crack me up. Go take up knitting. And SuperSam: C’mon man. If youre gonna be a fan then just man up and take it on the chin so to speak and Accept that JW is our QB. That being said you should root for him to stay out of trouble and to cut down on INT’s and lead us to a Non losing season. If not then you are not a real fan. If you really think that he will be Boneheaded again, then why don’t you just Support Your QB for the time being and if you secretly hope that he messes up again then that is on you. I have nothing against you and I am Not a Jameis Apologist. Im a UF Alum

  20. Buc4life1979 Says:

    @SuperSam
    Since u care so much about Mari-who the hell at this point gives a dam cause its over and done with unless ur a whiny lil b!tch-ots’a jersey, do us ALL a favor and go move urself up there and over to a Titans fan page as well…Ur little “America luvs good guys and Mariota jersey bs…wait how old do u claim to be because…Dam…I’d say just based off ur words around…5…6. Wait, I know, you can show everybody here just how old u are by manning up and admitting just how much of a little !@#$ you sounded like with ur Mariota sold more jersey crap. If not, then may u choke on Mariota’s..er ah yeah…jersey.

  21. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    I give a rat’s arse about how Jamies is viewed across the country. Folks have been hatin Lebron since initially leaving Cleveland has it mattered to him hell no he just continues ending up in the finals competing for championships. This notion that this young man has to beloved for whatever reason I find trivial at best. I don’t know this young man personally nor do I have a desire to know him personally. All I know is he’s the QB of the team I’ve rooted for for many years now so I’m ridin wit’em. Floyd Mayweather is hated does it effect the way he gose about handling his business,no. I love Money’s statement when he stated and I quote”I rather be hated for being who I am than to be loved being what others want me to be”.I’m sure Jamies feels the same.

  22. Buc-A-New Says:

    I”ts all good Nole. It will all come out in the wash

  23. Dooley Says:

    I’d put money on Mike Evans being 1,000 times the athlete that Connor Barth is, let’s stop the madness

  24. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    Buc I feel you bro.

  25. Supersam Says:

    My point is how can a team so worried about cleaning up its image and also wanting to get a national media fan base, select Winston over Mariota!? It goes against everything they’ve been saying since they fired Raheem the dream. Everyone is calling this team hypocrites, and you know what. There right!! We say we want players with out standing character and yet we select probably the most hated/knuckle headed of the feild player in the draft with the first overall pick! This team is dazed and confused.

  26. Joe Says:

    I’d put money on Mike Evans being 1,000 times the athlete that Connor Barth is, let’s stop the madness

    🙂

  27. Buc-A-New Says:

    @SuperSam……And my point is that it doesn’t matter How a Team drafted something you don’t agree with!! All that matters is that we HAVE a QB for OUR team and we either support him or find another team

  28. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    What the hell world is this guy living in coming in here talking this integrity BS. Let me ask you something guy do you believe everything our President says when he addresses the country? I don’t,as a black man I give a s@$! about him being a black man. Honor and integrity terms you find in movie scripts homes rarely in the world do those type of terms truly apply. It’s called speaking in codes our political leader do it to the general public all the time man. You wanna sale a product like a football franchise to the people,spend the cash and make it a winning product. After which it’ll begin selling itself.

  29. Buc-A-New Says:

    Nole on Sat has OFFICIALLY become “America’s Bucs’ Poster”

  30. P'cola Buc Says:

    Titan’s jerseys are quite attractive. People think twice before purchasing ours. Manziel’s jersey last year this time sold #1…..enough said.

  31. FLBoyInDallas Says:

    Ask Johnny Foosball, aka America’s Failure, how jersey sales relate to on-field performance. Five years from now no one will remember Mariota’s name.

  32. Hawk Says:

    Dooley Said:

    “I’d put money on Mike Evans being 1,000 times the athlete that Connor Barth is, let’s stop the madness”

    Does not matter what kind of ‘athlete’ he is if he gets knocked down and breaks a wrist, or if he comes down on his foot at an odd angle and damages his ankle/knee/etc. I am not saying he cannot enjoy his off-season. I am saying that when ‘athletes’ are involved in sports during the off-season, they sometimes get hurt. Sheeesh. (Not specifically directed at Dooley)Some people are looking so hard for ‘hate’ they see it behind every word, and therefore become it. THAT is where we need to stop the madness.

  33. Jim Says:

    If you don’t use it, you lose it. Stay in shape, stay active, and have fun!

    “SuperSam Says:

    Yet, here you are, with Winston in your mouth and on your mind.

  35. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    Now ain’t that the truth Love and Warrick Dunn. I swear some of these folks.

  36. Yeah It's me! Says:

    Superam: Cowboys have 10 times the fans the Bucs have and got tons of bad character players. You just hate Winston. Us Bucs Fans don’t care that your still mad we took Winston. Your not a Buc Fan anyway so bye bye!

  37. lurker Says:

    quit cryin you babies! it is a 9 ft rim, if that.

    and his softness cost the bucs at the end of a game. he toughened up at the end of the season.

  38. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    This guy actually used the term soft and Mike Evans in the same sentence when he prides his whole game on physicality wow. I wonder how soft you felt he was when cleaned and jerk Terence Newman,in my opinion his greatest moment of the 2014 season. I’m willing to bet you wouldn’t call duke soft in his presence. He seems like the type of dude that would make point to prove you different trust me I’m familiar with the personality traits.

  39. lurker Says:

    this dude…smh

    you are just silly. so you don’t think he was timid and soft in his first few games? you are just being foolish. sorry if you can’t handle the truth. and that is not a regulation hoop.

  40. lurker Says:

    which tweet was yours?

    http://fansided.com/2014/09/14/bucs-fans-blame-injured-mike-evans-losing-game/

  41. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    Timid and soft dude, no. Unsure because you’re not totally familiar with what’s going on is another thing. Timid and soft don’t put up the type of numbers this guy put up as a rookie dude. You hatin a$$ mofos actually call y’all selves fans of this team but when one review y’alls commentary it’s always on some hatin chit. Puzzled face.

  42. Nole on Sat.-Bucc on Sun. Says:

    Question,have you ever played organised ball? Spare me the tweets of mofos looking from the comfort of their air conditioned living rooms and having an opinion about a guy doing it on the highest level. Soft and timid,send me some of your video footage and allow us to form an opinion of your play. Let the world know how much of beast you were in pads,then maybe it’ll be easier for some of us to accept hearing from you how soft and timid another mofo is.

  43. lurker Says:

    freak out much?

    just because i have a differing opinion and a critique, you go postal. what makes you a fan? because you say so. you give opinions all the freakin time and have no experience to qualify your comments either, in footbal or other fields. quit cryin’ man.

    whys y’alls be hatin’ on criticism? so there is no improvement needed anywhere on this team? feel free to pass my comments on by, you silly person.
