Swine Flu Could Cost Bucs Suh
December 18th, 2009
Swine flu and death are no joke. But the St. Louis Rams are a complete joke for cancelling their practice Thursday because “five or six” guys on the team had flulike symptoms.
Don’t the 1-12 Rams realize Joe sees right through this stunt to screw up the team even further? It’s nothing more than a ruse to help them secure the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NFL Draft and rip defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh from the Bucs’ clutches. Per the Associated Press, these Rams aren’t even confirmed cases of Swine flu or any other kind of flu.
At Joe’s office, his 37-year-old boss legitimately died from swine flu in August but business never missed a beat. The company installed hand sanitzer machines on the walls and issued a “be careful” message.
At Joe’s kid’s school, young children have had swine flu, yet kids still played on the playground and picked their noses and flicked the boogers at each other. Nobody ran for cover like the St. Louis Lambs.
What a bunch of wusses.
Send the sick players home and put the other guys on the damn field. Let them shower at home as a precaution. But cancel practice and vacate the headquarters?
Bucs fans should be outraged.

Maybe we can combat their efforts and just have bad practices on Fridays…oh wait, we used that one already

Because they had a chance of winning before?

Joe,
“Bucs fans should be outraged.” WE ARE! Just not at the St Louis Rams.

Besides the Rams will more than likely take a qb? I dont follow them, so Im not sure, but that is what I have been hearing/reading.

Your comparing your office or childs school to an NFL lockeroom, where blood and sweat are flying all over the place? With all due respect, does anyone care if you stay home from work, or your kid stays home from school? If Steven Jackson stays home from work(Sundays), people care, Rams fans anyway.

Swine flu is over-rated. Not that it’s not bad, it’s just not that bad. My 8 and 5 yr old had it, I had it (40) – in my experience, big deal. The Rams are doing what we are, just taking it a step further – tanking games to get the #1 pick.
PS – if you think the Bucs suck, just watch a Rams game. eesh. All they have is SJax – and I ain’t jokin’.

Joe…this was a funny article that gave me a nice after lunch chuckle on an otherwise boring day. CHEERS!
The QB the Rams wanted decided to sty in school. They would be crazy to use a number 1 pick on a QB instead of Suh. I am thinking the Rams get him, so we might as well try to beat someone else before the end of the year.

Funny Joe. Jackson’s taking you a big too seriously. Maybe the Bucs should cancel practice. Can’t hurt.
