Glazers Follow Rumor Trail
March 11th, 2010
Team Glazer apparently keeps tabs on agent-driven speculation from publications eager to spread homemade gossip for the sake of Web traffic.
How can Joe make such a statement?
Well, Raheem The Dream himself admitted this during a visit to the TBO.com/Tampa Tribune/NewsChannel 8 war room in downtown Tampa, so claims columnist Joe Henderson.
“I’m sitting on my couch, watching “SportsCenter,” and I see that rumor about the Josh Johnson trade. I immediately text Mark, and he sends back, ‘No, what are you talking about?’ He’s not watching television at home,” Morris said.
“Stuff pops up. Our owners even call sometimes – ‘We did that?’ People throw stuff against the wall sometimes. A lot of that is agent stuff. There are so many rumors.”
Morris said he called Johnson right away.
“I called Josh and told him, ‘Don’t worry about it – Bill Cowher’s getting hired here in three days, too.’ “
Joe’s guessing here. But Joe’s giving 5-1 odds Team Glazer made one of these phone calls when the Aaron Kampman rumor was floated last week. …Joe believes he may have found a secret transcript of said phone call.
Team Glazer: Dominik, it’s us.
Mark Dominik: Yes, gentlemen.
Team Glazer: You realize we’re not paying that cash for anyone, let alone a 30-year-old defensive end with a crappy knee.
Mark Dominik: Of course, sir. We’re sticking to the plan.

That “transcript” is probably very close to how it went… sad as it may be

Kampman without a bummed knee is worth it … But after a torn ACL for that kind of money … Who knows what you will get

Antonio Bryant has a bum knee also …

Glazer: BTW are you done washing and waxing my car?
Dominik: Yeah, and Raheem did a good job on the windows: Do we get the ususal 25 cent tip?
Glazer: Yeah, and don’t forget to bag the leaves and make sure you don’t return any calls from Brandon Marshall’s agent.
Dominik: Of course not sir, God Bless you for this opportunity.

I cant wait until they pick a WR in the 3rd slot of the draft and are crucified. The TEAM GLAZER has no plan except “be cheap and dont improve”. If I was an NFL FA, I would not even consider a trip here. I would figure if they treat D Brooks like a undeserving loser…..how will they treat me.
For the first time in 15 years of being a fan of this team, I am embarrassed with the current team and management regime.

People throw stuff agains’t the wall sometimes to see if it will stick. Well, Radio, you and Dumynik have thrown some rank stuff agains’t the wall too. And it is alot like you’re decisions, smells like crap!

I don’t buy it. Dominik doesn’t go to the men’s room without first getting permission from the Glazers.

So Nick, since you frequently read and post, then that makes you a bitch.

Wait a minute was that Raheem’s voice in the background of that call saying
Raheem: ” Mark, Mark ask them if..”
Dumbinik: ” Shut up Raheem, I’m trying to use the phone!”
Raheem: ” Ask them if we can get free desert at Houlihan’s”
Dumbinik: ” You know they’ll never do Free, I’ll ask for 1/2 price desert”
Raheem: ” Yeah, Yeah… 1/2 price. SHWEEEEET!”

Raheem = Token
Dominic = Do boy
But hey… What more do you expect out of an NFL franchise representing not just a city but an entire region of many cities?
I mean this IS the BEST management team available with only 31 competiting organizations… Right? Raheem and Dominic are in the top 32 at their respective positions of HC and GM… Right? If that’s true then you shall have nothing to complain about.
