Went to the preseason game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cincinnati Bengals. Had a blast, but I wish I could say it was remarkable beyond the 20-6 score.
Still, there were many sights to be seen:
Hard to beat a fat guy in a dunk tank berating throwers for a little pre-game fun.
It's always a good idea to get to the stadium early. These folks are taking the escalator because, you know, that 2-degree incline on the ramp is hard on the knees when you're drunk.
A little pre-game music for the fans as they stream in through Gate B. One problem: The lead singer's jersey isn't on the team at the moment.
Might want to have that tooth looked at, pal.
Ahhhhh. Yes. It's football season again.
Let's have a big hand for Mike Alstott, everyone.
Alstott prepares for the first handoff of the game, as quarterback Brad Johnson lines up under center.
Getting ready for action at midfield.
Time to walk the stadium with Rev. Joe. First stop, the pirate ship.
We also joined the crazies who hang out on the party deck at the ship.
There was a beautiful sunset that night.
Souvenirs were selling less than briskly.
Big Nasty, meet The Big Reverend.
Just what you need on a hot, humid Florida evening: a $6 spicy Italian sausage. You can wash it down with a $3.50 bottle of water, by the way.
Bet you I know what they're talking about.
The Reverend adds to his flock of friends.
Coincidentally, it's been 28 seasons since he's kissed a girl.
Beer's to you guys.

I'm going to the Seahawks vs. The Cowboys preseason on Saturday and btw, your Radio Blog rocks pretty much all the time. ;)
