Trent Dilfer has found a young lover on Tampa Bay sports radio

No hesitation today by ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer when  asked whether the Bucs would take care of business at home against the Chargers and Oakland to close out the season and make the playoffs.

Dilfer, speaking on Tampa Bay’s ESPN 1040 AM, said the Chargers will beat the Bucs.

Dilfer was an excellent interview, but Joe was particualarly disturbed by Killer B’s host Marc Benarzyk treating Dilfer as if he should be waiting for his Hall of Fame induction. 

Benarzyk even had the nerve to compare Dilfer to Peyton Manning  – all while Dilfer was on the line and probably shaking his head in disgust that ESPN makes him talk to radio clowns like Benarzyk all week.

Dilfer was a .500 quarterback who threw more picks than touchdowns and was blessed to quarterback the 2000 Ravens, who won the Super Bowl with a legendary defense.

Joe probably shouldn’t be so surprised by Benarzyk gushing for Dilfer; He is the same sports radio host who doesn’t understand why so many fans loathe Jon Gruden.

While Joe doesn’t despise Gruden, he at least gets why so many fans can’t stand the guy and think he’s a horrendous communicator, destructively stubborn and wets his pants in the red zone.
