I was gonna say... for a second there I thought it was only gonna show big J-Stew's stiff arm... but wait for it, wait for it... BAM! DW comes back the other way. That's really all we're gonna do this sunday is run the ball right at 'em... see if their supposedly "improved" defensive line can stand up against two pro-bowl caliber running backs. J-Stew's already knocked his rust off against the Giants and he'll be lookin' to get in the endzone this sunday for sure! Gonna be a helluva game!!!!

Yasinskas talking about the rivalry

The date on it is June 3, 2005, and I can’t find a link for it on the Observer’s site. However, I’m going to share some of this story and highlight a few quotes because it’s somewhat relevant as we get ready for Sunday’s game between Tampa Bay and Carolina.

The reason I’m bringing this up is because this rivalry once was as good as it got in the NFC South. Back in the mid 2000s, there were some brutal games between the Buccaneers and Panthers. One of the most brutal games might have been played off the field and that’s the story I’m referring to.

Wow, that's about as badass as kicking a guy in the balls.

Hey, here's a thought. Put on a Bucs uniform and jump into oncoming traffic. No one here would care.

Thanks for stopping in though.

Any fan from any team can stroll into BOA, take their seat and say and/or do anything they want to without any intimidation factor, without any fear of fan retribution and without consequence.

What do you want? Fans to get beat up and executed on the spot?

It's called America; you shouldn't have to put up with harassment by others, even at football games.
