OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

He may get released too if true.

I doubt it, he’s been accused of far worse as we know.

I'm only saying since Arians has made a big deal over the Covid protocols. To top it off AB is pretty much in his last strike.

There will be league punishment and then probably additional team punishment.

Frankly, if youre ok with him being on the team with multiple sexual abuse allegations you shouldnt want him off it for this. punish his ass and move on.

Are you kidding? The Bucs will never release him. They are stockpiling talent to make a run for as many titles in the next couple years. The guy was accused of rape and the Bucs still brought him on board. The only way they release him if he still doesnt want to take the vaccine…

The chef sounds less than credible. Lol

We actually agree. Nothing will come of this. The team is responsible for ensuring vaccination. Bucs are never going to say Brown has a fake card. It will implicate the whole team which is supposedly 100 vaxed.

Nor would they be expected to know or enforce this. It sounds like teams accept photos of cards. Clearly this isn’t a finger print/DNA verification system.

Imagine being paid to do this job, and your feature article is a novel-length explanation of why you think it’s most likely Tampa Bay, Kansas City, and Baltimore winning their divisions.

Rob Gronkowski "Looks Good" In Walk-Throughs - JoeBucsFan.com

Baby steps, folks. Baby steps. Joe is among the anxious Bucs fans sitting on the edge of their office chairs, sweating when all the injured starters may return to help save the season and piece together another Super Bowl run. […]

Gronk looking good too.
Funny how at first many Bucs fans had reservations about giving up a draft pick for Gronk and paying him too much. Now they can't live without him.

We know the feeling.

As usual, the NFL implemented new rules and did nothing to ensure veracity. This is why the shield stuff is such a joke.

I'm not jumping to conclusions. Let's see what the facts show.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I'm not jumping to conclusions. Let's see what Roger Goodell, Jeff Pash, and other NFL executives want to happen to Brown and the Bucs, as they start working the public toward their predetermined conclusion.

Fixed it for you.

 

[amfootball]

Fixed it for you.

IMO, the NFL wants no part of this. We saw it with Rodgers. The vax issue is way too hot for them to willing enter the fray. My guess is they say they have verified the Bucs vax process and this goes to bed. If not, they have to investigate every team for fake cases and that makes them look stupid for not verifying in the first place.

Plus there is the racial element. If they come down on Brown while slapping Rodgers wrist, they will have the woke crowd all over them times ten.

 

[amfootball]

Also, the Bucs statement means they are backing Brown and in the process themselves. Lol

I don’t know about that. The Bucs are clarifying they did their own due diligence, as what was expected from them. If Brown duped them, what can they really do beyond a good faith, reasonable verification?

 

[VectorPrime]

Here’s the thing. There’s basically no way to prove it either way. So the NFL is stuck even if they wanted to punish him.

Yep. There really is nothing they can do or the league. I would imagine a lot of players have fake vax cards. Does the NFL really want to expose that?

 

[amfootball]

That's good news on Gronk. Looks like he will play Monday.

If the NFL wants to punish someone, they have and they can fudge the facts and the rules.

Hopefully they are done going after Brady, if so, Brown will get a slap on the wrist at worse.

They went after Brady because they weren’t able to nail Bill for deflate gate and then needed to do something or else be completely embarrassed.
