Summary

Tampa Bay Times Buccaneers Insider Rick Stroud and Rich discuss Tom Brady’s “clumsy” retirement announcement process and if the decision caught the team off-guard, if the Bucs will turn to 2nd-year QB Kyle Trask or pursue a veteran quarterback like Deshaun Watson, Jimmy Garoppolo or even luring Andrew Luck out of retirement, why heralded Tampa Bay Offensive Coordinator Byron Leftwich (who is black) still hasn’t gotten a head coaching position. Rich and the guys react to the news that the recruit in Brian Kelly’s cringe-worthy dancing video actually signed with Alabama over LSU, and Rich’s angst over Jim Harbaugh’s Minnesota Vikings interview reaches a fever pitch.
