Joe apologizes for calling out NFL Network analyst and NationalFootballPost.com columnist Michael Lombardi.

Joe needs to offer his sincere apology to Michael Lombardi.

Not long before the draft, Lombardi, an analyst for the NFL Network and a columnist for NationalFootballPost.com, not only predicted that the Bucs would draft their new franchise bust of a quarterback, Josh Freeman, but Lombardi predicted the Bucs would actually trade up to lock him up.

Joe just couldn’t believe there not only were people so deranged that they would even pick this stiff in the first round, but that there would be someone of such a twisted mind that would even entertain trading up for Freeman much less pulling it off.

Well, there was someone twisted enough to pull off such a move.

As a result, Joe apologizes to Lombardi.
