The Bucs took Geno Hayes, a linebacker from Florida State, with their sixth round pick that they acquired along the way this weekend. At this point it doesn't matter very much, and as long as he can make a special teams contribution, that's fine. But Christ, the Bucs have a lot of linebackers.
The good news is that he was very productive in college and has very fast game speed. The bad news is that he was part of the Florida State cheating scandal last year and has also been arrested for assault on a police officer. Ahem.
If anyone can set this guy straight, it's Derrick Brooks, a fellow Florida State linebacker. Brooks won't hesitate to take Hayes under his wing and try to make a player out of him. If he can't do it, probably not much is lost.

Ok, stay with me on this one. Did you ever watch Batman as a kid? Maybe Gruden is bringing in all the crooks he can find so that he can gain access to his own collection of "Henchmen"? Maybe he's planning something?

Do you think that John and Bruce sorta resemble Pinky and The Brain? I don't know which is which but I'm sure were on to something here.
