Report: No Deal Yet With The Bucs and Tom Brady

Geno Geno March 19th, 2020

When 4pm came around Wednesday, many were ready to get the news that Tom Brady has signed a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Web browsers were open and the refresh button was clicked. 4pm became 5pm.  Still nothing as midnight approached. It’s now Thursday and there’s no announcement from Brady or the Bucs. So what happened?  Did the deal fall through? Are the Bucs just sitting on the news?  Apparently not. Word is language in the contract is stalling things.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the deal isn’t done yet.  He says Brady is meeting with the team to hammer out the details of the contract.  He expects the loose ends to be worked out and foresees no problem with getting the deal done.  Negotiations will continue later this morning according to his reporting.

Geno’s Welcome Gift to Tom Brady: Tampa 101

Tom… welcome to Tampa. As a former New England guy myself, here are a few things you need to know.

  • Toss your jackets, but keep your sweaters.

    ... for when the temps go below 75. No for real. It does happen sometimes.

  • That building with the cool space ship near the stadium?

    That's not a space museum for the kids. Google MOSI instead.

  • New rule.

    No deflating the beach balls.

  • Bern’s

    I hear you were already spotted at Bern's with Derek Jeter. It's a great place Tom, but don't blow that $30 million you're getting in your first week.

  • The beauty is across the bridge.

    When I lived on the Hillsborough side, I hardly ever went over the Howard Frankland. It's a nightmare. I get it. But it's worth it.

  • You’ve got work to do.

    Since moving here, only one team has really gotten us excited. Fix that.

  • The Pirate Ship

    I'd double check before you do much with that pirat

  • Don’t get confused. You are in Florida.

    When the New England teams visit the Tampa area, you'll notice the letter "R" mysteriously disappears.

  • Todd

    If someone says you and Gisele should visit The Todd, just know it's not a guy name Todd's house.

  • Pro wrestling is huge here.

    Please don't ruin it for us with that theory that it's fake.

  • Ride first.

    THEN have lunch.

  • Our dress code is…

    different.

  • Mazzaro’s

    Sorry. Mike's Pastry is just in Boston. But we've got Mazzaro's which also has a wine and cheese room, the best sub anywhere (The #20 "Hot Italian"), fresh pasta, cappuccino bar, as well as the bakery. Trust me. When I found Mazzaro's, Florida became home.

  • Contrary to popular belief…

    We do wear shoes.

  • The pizza here sucks.

    I love Tampa. I'll never leave. But you're coming from a place where there's great pizza on every block. Here you have to go to Clearwater and find Cristino's.

  • Walk the Riverwalk at night…

    It'll be dark so nobody will notice you. You'll instantly love this city.

  • Whoopie Pies

    Sorry man. They don't have them here. The only spot I've found that carries them is Cousin's Lobster in Clearwater.

  • Avoid Ulmerton Road

    You should anyway... but especially with that high maintenance wife ya got.

  • Get the cheese.

    When you go to Brandon to get a hot dog at Portillo's, be sure to get cheese with your fries. And a chocolate cake shake.

  • I know of a great radio station you should check out.

    Especially Saturday nights at 7. You're old enough to appreciate the music they'll play.

  • You live in the greatest city in America.

    Yeah we have more than our fair share of time on the evening news. "A Florida man" is real. But I've lived from Maine to California with this radio job. I chose Florida for my last move for a ton of reasons. You don't see people here retire and move to Foxborough.
