This just in: Raheem Morris has demoted Jim Bates, and he will be taking on the defense calls himself.  Raheem says that it’s “on him” to fix things.

How about former Bucs QB Bruce Gradkowski?  He led the Raiders to a win!  No, I’m not kidding.  Watch the clouds - I think Jesus must be returning any moment.  You have to love the guy.  For a follow up can he beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving?  Uh… Love those Cowboys cheerleaders, eh?

This just in: Raheem Morris has fired the Buccaneer cheerleaders, and he’ll be wearing the skirt this week.

Chris Simms got his first post splenectomy start.  Lasted three series.  He said he was “rusty.”  You think?  Call it a career.

And while we’re on the topic of Bucs QBs, our rookie looked like a rookie last week.  Bound to happen a couple of times.  Bear with him.

This just in: Raheem Morris has benched Josh Freeman, and he will be playing QB himself this weekend.

So, picks?  You betcha.  Packers over Lions; Cowboys over Raiders; Giants over Broncos on Thanksgiving. Dolphins over Bills; Titans over Cards; Colts over Texans; Seahawks over Rams; Bucs over Falcons (This just in: Raheem Morris benching Barrett Ruud, and he will lead the team himself with 24 tackles); Bengals over Browns; Jets over Panthers; Eagles over Redskins; Chargers over Chiefs; 49ers over Jags; Vikings over Bears; Steelers over Ravens; Patriots over Saints.

This just in: Raheem Morris has demoted the Pigskin Preacher, and he will be making the picks starting next week.
