Shane Andrus is now a starting kicker

by MrNFL on Oct 8, 2009 4:24 PM EDT

I was somewhat hoping that no one would go after Andrus, as he seems like a pretty good talent, and Adam Vinatieri isn't going to be around a whole of a lot longer.

But a team did jump on him. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This offseason, they cut longtime kicker Matt Bryant for Mike Nugent, who was drafted in the 2nd round by the Jets, and cut by them after being mediocre. Well, turns out he's just as mediocre in Tampa Bay as he was in New York. So his reward for being teh suck is a cut.

And now Shane Andrus is the starting kicker for them. Good luck to him.

Way to go Shane.

Good for him.

I still wish there was a way we could have kept him around.

Yup

How can you not love a team that does this?

Oh my God......the Bucs suck so much!

I really feel sorry for Shane. I don’t think there’s a team in the NFL more screwed up in every capacity than the Bucs. Imagine going from the Colts to the Bucs…….that’s like diving off Mt. Olympus 300 feet into a rancid sewer.

I love reading Simmons

when the Colts are rocking and the Pats are…not.

He’s hysterical!

Did you read his Power Poll last Friday

The best part:

From 2003 to 2005, Brady was Russell and Manning was Wilt. Things switched briefly when Indy won the Super Bowl. Brady seized it back with the Eff You season. If the Helmet Catch doesn’t happen, not only does Brady become immortal, but now the Pats are opening up on Thursday night and we never see Bernard Pollard in Week 1. Nope. They lose the title and Brady gets wiped out in Week 1. From that point forward, Manning became Russell and Brees became Wilt. And Brady is on the outside looking in. At least for now. Crazy.

LOL, but wasn’t Brady already Wilt because all the chicks he banged (if you consider Gisele a chick, hehehe)? Peyton’s a one-women fellow, my kind of guy. :-)
