• Austin Meek shares some thoughts about Tampa's recent signing of Josh Freeman. It's a pretty good read:

  But here's what it comes down to for me: You're a 32-year-old rookie coach who got a head job without even serving as a coordinator in the NFL. There are people out there who think you're under-qualified, people who are predicting you will fail. This draft pick is your first major decision as a head coach, and everyone is watching very closely.

• The AP also has a story about how the lofty expectations of being a first round pick don't phase Freeman.

• Huge props for the youngsters in dropping a "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego" reference. Huge. Also, we at BOTC would like to congratulate the roomate that lost his V-Card. Way to go, man. Ninety percent chance it was to a Chi-O too.

  If I’m here, and you’re there, then where’s Carmen San Diego?

  Those plants by the sidewalks that look like giant carrots are actually poisoned hemlock. Don’t eat them.

  My roommate finally lost his V-card at age 20. Way to go, buddy.
