The Grind podcast 8/18: Flip and Bill's final visit to Bucs training camp and more

[image-1]Brett Favre will play another year (what, sick of hearing about it? We'll tell you whom to blame. By the way, Brett just took a pee-pee. More on Sportscenter); Michael Vick is a felon, Big Ben is a scum-bag and Tony Dungy is speaking out; about Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan's potty-mouth (shut-up, Flanders); and remember that douchey boyfriend who dodged a foul ball just in time for it to peg his poor hot girlfriend? Well, never mind that shit, she released a semi-nude photo (bottom of page, perv). Hooray sports!


If you haven’t heard Tampa has a FlowRider at Adrenalina in International Mall. I hit it up be for the podcast this morning. It’s been an hour since I got off and the soreness is starting to set in. This was my second session and though the wipe outs weren’t as extreme, I can tell I put in a solid hour. The FlowRider combines surfing, body boarding, wakeboarding, skateboarding, kitesurfing and snowboarding all in one giant package. Normally you will find these artificial waves at water parks, theme parks, and cruise ships. Adrenalina has the only FlowRider located in a department store and it kicks mucho ass. Check out some of the highlights from my first FlowRider session.



Enjoy the podcast. Where the outtakes is the show.

It's our last day at Bucs training camp. On the agenda: talent show, tent olympics, a round of "guess the rash" and hopefully a kiss from our camp crush (we're trying French-style this year).

Also? We give our first-hand analysis of the atmosphere, attitude and execution of the 2010 Buccaneers to date, and maybe a prediction or two. You can almost smell the jock-itch.

PLUS:

. Gather around the radio, boys and girls — it's official: Saturday's preseason home-opener against the Chiefs will not be televised in the Tampa Bay area. The market called your bluff, Glazer boys. It's the only way for our voices to be heard. You squeezed the value out of a perennial playoff contender and we don't like it. We love our team, we root for our team, but you haven't shown any of us it's worth taking out a second mortgage to invest in our team. We discuss the concept of blackouts, the economy, and misdirected anger. On the next Oprah Grind.

Rays messed with Texas. When I ended my column yesterday with, "keep swingin, Rays," I had no idea it would become bulletin board material.

"It was a good overall offensive night with everyone," Manager Joe Maddon said of the at-bats."I want to thank Bill Freitas for his insightful and eloquent suggestion." *

You're welcome.

Just goes to prove, everything is bigger in Texas. Including humiliating and pulverizing ass-trauma.
