Michael Clayton Is THE Reason The Bucs Are 0-5

One bad one will spoil the bunch

As fans and coaches start looking for answers to the Bucs poor start to the season, and amid Jimmy Wilkerson's warning that another loss could cause serious rifts in the locker room, it would be reassuring if someone could definitively say, "This is the problem, " so the organization could go about fixing it.

Well, 80Sucks.com has come to the rescue.  Here is the problem:

Michael Clayton

Now, some people might say, "Come on, it's not ALL Clayton's fault".

Really?  Really?  Then how do you explain this:

In a May interview with Tony Lopez of BleacherReport.com, Michael Clayton describes himself as "a leader to young guys coming in, been their voice . . . kinda show them the ropes and hang out and teach them things".  He goes on to say, "So I've been that guy behind the scenes ever since I've gotten here."

What a scary freakin' thought.  Michael Clayton taking our young talent under his wing and showing them the way.  WTF!!!!  No wonder we suck.

Would you let Mike Tyson teach your kid to read?  Or teach them anger management techniques?  Then why would you let Mike Clayton teach your young players anything.  Someone should have been keeping Clayton away from all of our potential future stars.  In fact, we'd go so far as to say the Bucs should have gotten a restraining order against him

Do you need more proof?  He says in the interview, "I'm friends with everybody, I've counseled a lot of people in a lot of situations, Aqib, Tanard."  OK, we love Aqib and Tanard, they are absolute studs and along with Barrett Ruud the future of the Bucs defense, but let's put it this way, I wouldn't let them go on a date with my daughter.  Obviously Clayton counsels the same way he catches, because these two have more arrests than Clayton has catches (wait, is that an insult?).

But this is a Clayton Hatin' site, so back to the topic at hand. 

Do you want to know the scariest part, it's not just the young guys that Clayton may have spoiled.  In his own words Clayton says, "Nobody comes in this locker room without me talking to them, to be honest."

What's next, are the Bucs gonna let John Daly councel guys on abstinence or Louie Anderson talk to them about proper eating or Drew Carey teach them how to tell a joke?

Seriously, if you want to turn this ship around Buccaneers, someone needs to f'ing keep Clayton from imparting his "wisdom" on our other players.

So we identified the problem, now it's up to Raheem or someone within the organization to stand up and fix it.
