FIRE!
February 18th, 2012
The north scoreboard behind the pirate ship was ablaze this morning.
Saturday morning, motorists driving southbound on Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa were treated to a much more entertaining sight than any Bucs fans saw on the Bucs’ stadium grass when the north scoreboard of the stadium was aflame.
Joe will let the good people of TBO explain.
Several passing motorists called 911 to report that the scoreboard was burning early Saturday morning, said Lt. William Ferguson, spokesman for the Tampa Police Department.
Tampa officers responded and found fire coming from the the speaker system above the north scoreboard, Ferguson said.
Tampa Fire Rescue firefighters put out the fire, which was determined to be caused by an electrical problem, Ferguson said.
Now Joe knows how cynical if not delusional many Bucs fans have become in recent years. They blame Team Glazer for everything from global warming to the Obama debt crisis.
So Joe can just guess that there will be crazy Bucs fans sitting around a pitcher of beer today or tonight, claiming this fire was somehow the work of the Bucs in order to get a new HD scoreboard installed quicker than expected.

It’s Raheem’s fault. It started up again after smoldering from a while from when the Panthers were last in town.

Joe- no way the Glazers could be involved in this!
They’d never spend that much money on a can of gas! Only way they did it, is if they found a full gas can lying around the stadium somewhere!
Personally, I think Thomas is the prime suspect! He wants to replace that screen with a bigger one, so he can stare lovingly at closeups of Schiano’s chin.

Obama debt crisis? We wouldn’t have a debt crisis if corporations weren’t given enough loop holes to pay zero taxes and keep their lobbyists well funded.

We wouldn’t have the mega corporations without government.

joe the fact that you brought up the point, means you are at least a little suspecting.
