President Bush visits Bucs, plays catch with Simms
Associated Press


TAMPA, Fla. -- It seems like everyone has some advice these days for the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers and struggling quarterback Chris Simms. Even President Bush tossed the football with the former University of Texas quarterback Thursday, and offered some advice. "Never give up," Bush said Thursday when asked what he told the Bucs during a half-hour visit to the team's training facility near Raymond James Stadium, where the president delivered a fundraising speech to about 400 people in a VIP club area.

Coach Jon Gruden wouldn't disclose what additional wisdom the president might have imparted to Simms. "It's great, though, to get some advice from the president of the United States. It's a little different when the coach is telling you to do this or do that. You have the president come and give you some advice, that's something you gotta listen to," Gruden said. "Hopefully it works. If it doesn't work out this week, he can call the president to see what happened."

Bush accepted an invitation to stop by practice and was greeted on the field by Simms and teammates Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber and Mike Alstott and Ryan Nece, as well as an appreciative Gruden. "The president has a lot to do. For him to show up here with the SWAT team on the roof and the Secret Service guys, that's awesome," Gruden said.

Yep, following "Arbusto's" advice really has worked out in the past. Can you say 4-12 Bucs?

1. Chimp's advice:

"Statue of Liberty gets 'em every time."

5. I was thinking more like...

whenever you get behind, get into trouble, throw the bomb. works for me every time.

2. You Are Great

I laughed when I opened your post and saw that you were saying they were screwed because the quarterback got advice from Bush. That was so funny. I had seen the story on msn.com.

3. As if the season wasn't already in the toilet.

When I heard the clown-in-chief had showed up at 1Buc Place yesterday I knew right then and there things were going from bad to worse. Rejoice panther fans. You're going to get your first win this week.

4. I knew there was a reason I can't stand Chris Simms. When is

daddy going to do a broadcast when his baby is getting pummeled?

6. They sure ARE screwed, seeing as no one on the team

appears to be larger than Georgie! No one's head stands taller than the king's!

9. THIS JUST IN: Simms has spleen removed after Bucs loss

From the Houston Chronicle online:
Tampa Bay quarterback Chris Simms had his spleen removed after taking several hard hits in 26-24 loss to the Carolina Panthers and was resting comfortably in a hospital Sunday night.

...There was no immediate word on how long the fourth-year pro might be sidelined. The recuperation time for a normal person is four to six weeks, though it's unclear how long it might take to heal enough to play football.
Well, keep in mind that there's a quarterback out there trying to recover from an appendectomy and a motorcycle injury--and he's not winning, either.

...The loss of Simms is certainly a blow to a Tampa Bay team looking to recover from an 0-3 start.
Yet another example of everything Georgie touches turning to garbage--and props to N2doc and Sentinel Chicken for correctly predicting the result of his visit!
