i tuned in late and didnt hear them so i was confused. hope they get better soon.

I guess bro gonna replace gene when he retire

T. J. Rives has been around in the Tampa market for a long time, at least going back to the 90s. I think he's been doing the sidelines for the Bucs for a long time as well. He did a great job filling in, better than I would have expected.

If your A team is gene then your b team would probably be A-team on any other network

I was watching that miners game like please niners lol

Best description I've heard! Bonus points for YOU!! GO BUCS!!!

The Milwaukee Bucks?

I'm not going to speculate as to whether he has COVID, but what was reported is he and Dave Moore are both in COVID protocol.

1,000 views and 90 likes in an hour disagree with you. I'll post what I want to.

Cuz while most all of us love Gene, we are also Buccaneer fans and hearing the home teams radio play by play is fun regardless of who is on the call. When Gene calls it a career, hopefully a LONG time from now, the Buccaneers radio network will still exist and some of us will still want to hear the home teams call.

Just curious why you watch football if you think it's all fixed? Or do you feel that about every sport? And if it doesn't end up being Chiefs/Packers will you admit it wasn't fixed or will you then say "they" changed it to whoever does make it? And are you a multi billionaire? Cuz if I knew who was gonna win based on it being fixed I'd make serious $:$$ gambling on games, or in your case it isn't gambling since you KNOW who is gonna win right?

@@troypalek4104 Hi, Troy! I don't claim I know the Packers will play the Chiefs. It's just an educated guess. (By the way, I was saying this since back in week 7 when the Chiefs were struggling.) I doubt the NFL will inflict the magic of Tom Brady on Super Bowl fans twice in a row. Watching a college-level passer throw 35 screens in a Super Bowl is not a ratings bonanza, as we saw last year. (If Tom plays in another Super Bowl, I'm guessing it will be next season and COULD BE against the Patriots! Surely this would be a high-rated sports event.) I do make some accurate predictions since I understand how Tom's script works...I predicted that Tom would win the final three games of the season since losing any of them would have resulted in 5 loses. (Tom almost never experiences 5 loses in a single season.) Interestingly, I absolutely guaranteed that Tom would defeat the Giants since losing to them would have resulted in three straight losses - also something that almost never happens in the magic world of Tom Brady. I guaranteed the Bucs would win this game where I stated: _Watch for an easy win for the Bucs vs the Giants next Monday Night. That game WILL be pre-determined because they don't let Tom lose 3 in a row._ I also predicted that Giant QB would throw directly to a Buc and he did. After that play where Daniel Jones threw directly to #96 Steve McClendon, the announcer stated, _"Just threw it right to the Buccaneers! Tough one to explain."_ On a comment on Rigged NFL Breakdowns channel I stated: _I think next week's Giant/Bucs game is almost certain to be pre-determined for Tom to win easily. Watch for prevent defense all game long from the Giants...Daniel Jones will probably throw a pick-6 right to a Buc._ Game showed clears signs of being pre-determined throughout: Giant's weakling pass rush that rarely collapsed Tom's pocket...Giants in soft zone defense throughout the game - even when trailing big. Giants refusing to anticipate Tom's screen-a-polooza, never being ready for screen passes no matter how many they saw. Giant zone defenders slowing down to allow easy passing lanes and even letting passes zip right past their faces without reaching out to deflect/intercept. Arm-tackling (rather than body tackling), missing very easy first tackles on screen receivers. Giant QB not resembling a pro-level player but pretending amateurism. On one play I saw a Giant leap way up like a frog to avoid any possible contact with Tom Brady haha! Not sure if Tom was ever touched in the game. Giants call only 10 running plays haha. Clearly not a real effort to compete. Barkley given only 6 rushes? (Averaged 4.2) Despite the lack of running Daniel Jones only throws for 167? Is it even possible in a real game to only run 10 times but still only pass for 167? Bucs call 24 running plays. 6 to 24??? As I said, I knew this game would be pre-determined and wouldn't bear any resemblance to a real game because I studied the Patriots dynasty, thoroughly... During that 19 years, it was basically impossible for the Patriots to lose 3 in a row. Anytime they had a 2-game losing streak the next game would always look farcical with the opponent seemingly amateurish and weakling. Their QB would always toss a pass directly to a Patriot, inevitably. And of course, they would remain in soft zone D throughout the alleged 'contest'. Clearly the Bucs became the 'Buctriots' when Tom joined...and I knew the same principle would apply to the Buctriots. So I'm gladly taking credit for what was a very easy prediction of a pre-determined game.I analyzed Tom's silly opening drive on this video: New York Giants vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers HIGHLIGHTs | NFL Week 11 | November 22, 2021 By Uploader NFL Highlights 2021 0:14 Giants begin the game in PREVENT DEFENSE? Haha, WHY? Tom uses his infinite time to complete to a totally uncovered receiver who saunters to an easy 1st down. Ummm...okay but, WHY? Are the Giants fatigued, or something? It's the first play of the game! _Where's the competition, here?_ 0:32 Let the screen-a-polooza BEGIN! Tom's first of many silly little screen-passes that would all be suffocated in a real game due to their utter predictability. Watch Giant #24 run TOWARD the blocker! He's eagerly trying to be blocked out of the play! 0:56 Giants remain in inexplicable Prevent defense and leave FOUR Bucs receivers totally uncovered! Is this game being played in the "Twilight Zone"? It certainly *isn't* occurring in what Mankind calls 'Reality'. Nooo! Haha! You do not just let your opponent move down the field under no pressure or no coverage in real football haha. Tom is usually scripted to score on his opening drives of both halves and pretended defense is the norm on these drives. 1:21 Tom decides to offer a run at the crazy prevent defense. His ringer, Larry Fournette, was released for *absolutely no reason* by the Jags so he could assist Tom to his scripted Super Bowl victory. Many teams are ordered by the league to release excellent players to Tom's team (ringers). Giants allow themselves to be universally ERASED on this run play. 1:40 Tom's second lateral pass of the drive would have been intercepted in a real game. Watch Giant #51...he can easily step in front of Tom's foolish pass, but he's not going to do that. Watch #51 halt himself to open the passing lane so Tom's screen can work! Defenders are not allowed to use anticipation on Tom's scripted scoring drives. They must wait until the ball leaves his hand before reacting. Two Giants _only pretend_ to attempt a tackle on the screen receiver. Announcer says, "That was too easy!" Haha! Yes, that was not professional defense, _was it?_ To understand the basics of how they let Tom win, here's a quick run-down: *THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT TOM​* Tom's at the level of a college passer or perhaps an NFL back-up. What makes him so successful is that the opponent isn't actually trying to oppose him in most games. Pass rush is pretended. Defenders affect a weakling pass rush where they appear to be physically overwhelmed by Tom's blockers. Coverage is usually college-style: Very soft zone leaving multiple receivers wide-open for Tom to complete to. Even occasional man-coverage is pretended: Defenders appear slow and half-witted, unable to tightly cover Tom's receivers for even 1 second. There are hidden rules in effect as well: Edge rushers must avoid cornering tightly into Tom's pocket. Instead, they corner too roundly and remove themselves from the pocket area - sometimes even standing four yards behind Tom as he throws. Interior pass rushers must affect a weakling style where they pretend to be easily subdued by Tom's blocking. This allows Tom to have a clean pocket with no pressure from the middle. Coverage defenders may not use anticipation...they must wait until _after_ the ball leaves Tom's hand before converging toward the intended receiver. This is why defenders always seem a step behind Tom's actions and slow to the play. Defenders must miss the first tackle and allow Tom's receivers to make a first down. You'll see this incredibly inept effort to tackle on these plays. Defenders must bite on all of Tom's fake handoffs. This allows Tom to easily complete to uncovered receivers. (Real defense rarely bites on a fake, remaining in position to defend the pass.) And the big one: Defenders are not allowed to LOOK BACK and intercept or deflect Tom's passes. They are required to keep their eyes on the receiver and avoid possible interception/deflection opportunities. Tom opponent offense is also _not really trying to develop a large lead_ against him. If Tom's opponent is in the lead they will avoid scoring and punt back to Tom in most games. This keeps the score close so that Tom can eventually take the lead and win. On special teams, Tom's opponents often kick very short punts and fail to cover the returner very well. This gives Tom nice field position to begin his drives most of the time. And as every fan has realized, Refs will always favor Tom in the crunch.

@@johnellizz ahh, so you think the NFL only fixes games for Brady? I HATE the whole damn city of Boston, yes I'm aware the Patriots don't play in Boston but still I consider them the Boston NFL team and even I don't buy that. And wouldn't the NFL want a team from the biggest media market, N.Y., to at the very least make the playoffs every year? if they are fixing things wouldn't it make business sense to do so to maximize profits? Or is it your belief that they would rather make less money as long as Brady wins? Did the Colts lose on purpose this week so Roethlisbrrger would make the playoffs in his last season? cuz that would make more sense as a. conspiracy then a random Giants/Bucs game in late November.

@@troypalek4104 I can see that many games are scripted even when Tom's not involved. The easiest way to spot a scripted scoring drive is 'The Avoidance Phenomenon'. This phenomenon happens when a team has been told to allow a score. Defenders seem reluctant to involve themselves in a tackling opportunity. Defenders are trying to avoid wear and tear (or even possibly injury) by making no effort or only very weak effort to tackle. Since they know the offense is supposed to score, they don't want to risk injury by making tackles in vain. Rams vs. Ravens Week 17 Highlights | NFL 2021 At 8:42 of this recent game we can observe the avoidance phenomenon...We see an un-pressured Ram QB pass to a totally uncovered receiver...Then we see the receiver advance 10 yards without encountering any resistance... But then he encounters three Raven defenders who all seem disinterested in tackling him! The three reluctant Ravens are avoiding getting involved in an unnecessary tackle because they've been told to let the Rams score on this drive. Yet the Ravens are getting paid millions, have a chance to make the playoffs by winning this game, are currently in the lead in the game...and in addition to all of this they should worry about losing their jobs to a more eager player if they put apathy and poor performance on film. Considering all this, what possible motive could these reluctant Ravens have for being disinterested in tackling the Ram? The only explanation is that they are doing their job: Following an instruction to allow the Rams to score on this drive. The games are controlled by a director watching from a booth. The director watches the game and decides when a team is to play sincerely and when they are to play to benefit the opponent. Code phrases are used to convey to the players what they are to do: So, for example, the Director wants the Bucs to allow a scoring drive...conveys this to a coach on the Bucs sideline...Bucs coach then says to the team, "Let's be killers out there on D!" Team hears this code-phrase and knows to let the Panthers score on that drive. Director can also instruct the Bucs on when to play sincerely and exert their best effort. Director tells the coach that the Bucs are to play to win...Coach tells the Bucs, "Go out there and do your job!" Bucs hear this and know to play competitively on that drive. Director can tell the Panthers the same things. Let's say the director wants the Panthers to avoid scoring on their next possession...director informs the coach, coach tells the Panther offense, "Let's go full throttle out there!" Players hear this code phrase and know to avoid scoring on the next drive. Director can control the game's outcome, point spread, point total and the suspense of the game in this manner. If Bucs were told to allow scores even though they were a pre-determined winner, it was done to create more suspense (keeping the game close for more entertainment value), to adjust the point spread or the total amount of points scored in the game. Without a director, the games would not be predictable as to who wins, by what point margin and overall point total. Without this predictability the 100 billion dollars that is wagered, annually, on NFL games would be up for grabs. But when the games are scripted, this money can be funneled toward a lucrative insider-betting network. Team owner's family and friends can place bets that consistently pay-off, yielding billions for the insiders. Perhaps even the players are entitled to share in this source of income, to a lesser degree. So let's say that the Bucs are supposed to win by 10 points, according to Vegas...But the insiders have bet on Washington to beat that spread. Now it's up to the Director of the game to arrange for Washington to lose...but by less than 10 points. As we get into the 4th quarter, the Washington team is losing by too many points...Director tells Bucs coach to let the Washington offense score a TD...you see the Bucs become weak on pass rushing...suddenly the Washington QB has time in the pocket. He throws to a receiver, but the pass is deflectable... However, the Buc defender ignores the ball...he keeps his eyes glued to the receiver, allowing the catch. Replay shows that the Washington receiver bobbled the TD pass...The Director contacts the replay booth and tells them to ignore the bobble. Just call it a TD for Washington. Now the game is tight...Bucs lead but only by 5. Tom Brady throws to Mike Evans deep! Mike catches the pass. However, Mike and the Bucs offense have been told not to score a TD on this drive, so Mike runs out of bounds immediately after catching the pass. Director informs Washington to allow the Bucs into FG range, so Washington plays Prevent defense...allowing the Bucs into range. Bucs make an easy FG with the help of magnetic guidance. Now the Bucs are up by 8 but Washington has one last chance.... Director informs Washington not to score...so their QB holds the ball too long and takes a game-losing sack. Bucs win the game but Inside betting money pays off (God knows how much money was made.) Washington beats the spread, losing by less than 10.

@@johnellizz and the players, whose contracts are based upon their play are ok with this? And not one of them who are out of the game have said it publically? You realize some of those former players are now poor, homeless, and some of them are addicts? And an addict will do anything to get their next hit. And being that they could make millions upon millions by speaking up on this your theory is they will sell out their families and everything else to feed their addiction but won't sell out a league they no longer play for or get money from? It took only 2 years for a player to admit the Astros were sign stealing but in the 50 years of the NFL, which has WAY more players then MLB nobody has aid anything? Who knew nfl players had such a moral compass. And is it only the NFL? Cuz I saw an NHL player fall down once and allow a breakaway. Surely a professional hockey player could never just fall down unless he was ordered to right?
