Back From Tampa

Returned from Tampa in one piece. We had a great time in Florida(despite the game outcome). Weather was great, beer flowed, it was awesome. Big props to our winners, Steve & Heidi. They were great to hang out with for a weekend. You saw what happened on the field, so there's no reason to re-live that. Here are some off the field highlights of the Taste Is Our Turf weekend

--Crystal Palms Beach resort in Treasure Island is the sh**. It's like living in a $300,000 condo. Big ass living room and kitchen. 2 Bedrooms with their own bathroom and flat screen TV's. Big ups to that resort. If you're ever going to the Tampa area, I highly recommend it, and it's economical.

--You know Florida is the land of retirees and saw a bunch of cougars at the bars acting like they're 20 years old. Slinglin' shots and making out with their gray-haired, Viagra taking husbands.

--They talked about this during the game broadcast, but I missed it on the field. A streaker ran the length of the end zone on my side of the field. I must have been in the can or at concessions. I asked a couple of guys in our row about it and they said, "we thought he just had his shirt off, but then we realized he had no pants." Doesn't speak much to the physique of said streaker.

--Saw a classic brawl between a Packers fan and a humongous Bucs fan in the parking lot after the game. Both got in some good takedowns and blows to the head.

--Flipped off the New York Yankees spring training facility

--Back to the cougars, met one that was a Bucs fan on Sunday night an outdoor bar. She claimed to have been married to a Detroit Lions quarterback and then 1986 New York Mets catcher, Gary Carter. Also claimed to may or may not be related to Nomar Garciaparra and is also best friends with Pedro Martinez. Said she spent the last couple of years in jail. Internet research has refuted most of the previous claims, but I'm almost positive the jail time is true.

Good times in Tampa. Big thanks to our sponsors, Miller Lite, Air Tran, & Travel Design.
