Bucs G.M. Mark Dominik apologizes for crack about Penn's weight

Bucs G.M. Mark Dominik probably never wants to say tackle Donald Penn’s name publicly again.

In just one week, Dominik criticized Penn’s weight to a group of fans, claimed the comments were off the record, and admitted to lying about his ability to fine Penn in an effort to trick him into signing his tender offer.

On Saturday evening, Dominik completed the cycle.  He apologized to Penn for his “insensitive” comment, according to Rick Stroud of the St. Petersburg Times.

So, to review, fat jokes are not cool in the NFL.  Poorly constructed public lies are encouraged.

    If he was sorry he wouldn’t have said it in the first place

    What does that have to do with Jamal Brown?

    So, to recap the Bucs they have:
    An owner near bankruptcy
    A coach who can’t coach
    An idiot as GM
    A crappy QB
    A gimpy RB
    2 rookie WRs
    A cryababy for a TE
    2 rookie DTs
    On the flip side, they have cool uniforms and a cool stadium. Oh, and hot chicks everywhere.
    You can look at the hot chicks anytime and you can watch South Florida Bulls if you love the stadium. I believe Tampa has officially taken Detroit’s title as the worst franchise in the NFL.

    Would it be inappropriate to post a “Dominik’s momma is soooo fat…” joke here?

    Rich McKay looked real happy to be back, Hummmmmmm…..

    I just heard the Bengals HC joking about a players weight, what’s the big deal.
    The linemen are usually big fat dudes but they do need to stay in football shape.
    We used to joke on the Jaguars message board that John Henderson ate babies/other people.
    Now we crack jokes about Knighton’s fat ass.
    The media members who criticized Mr. Dominik should watch a Pablo Francisco stand-up routine.

    Hey Thor
    Don’t be to harsh on Freeman he showed promise. Being thrown to the wolves isn’t as easy as it looks. With a little protection and a few WR’s he could be very good. Gimpy RB’s dont help rookie QB’s too much either. Dude has it all, except help and experience.

    The fat guy is getting abused here. You have to be fat to get the job, but if you get too fat you get fined, or your boss makes fun of you in public.

    well, there’s no deny that compared to Teller, he’s the fat one.

    @Thor … as a Bucs fan I have to agree 100% with you. The Glazer’s have ruined this team! Just like the Raiders are going to suck until Al Davis is dead, the Bucs are going to suck until the wallet challenged Glazers sell the team.
    So, to recap the Bucs they have:
    An owner near bankruptcy
    A coach who can’t coach
    An idiot as GM
    A crappy QB
    A gimpy RB
    2 rookie WRs

    I read the headline as “…crack about Penis weight”
    That’s all I got.

    @ Thor & Tampa Joey
    100% agree also…. Long time fan but it is what it is…. Gotta to call a spade a spade!!!
    So, to recap the Bucs they have:
    An owner near bankruptcy……….(check)
    A coach who can’t coach…………….(check) {UGH!}
    An idiot as GM………………………….(check)
    A crappy QB…………………………….(check){UGH!}

    You guys are nuts. Who really cares??? He is fat!!! Bucs will win 7 – 8 games next year and then pick their tackles of the future in the next draft. It called building a team!!! Go watch the Bulls. Bucs probably never got any money out of you anyway!

  15. TampaJoey says: Jun 20, 2010 9:35 AM

    Bradenton Buc … actually I have season tickets for both the Bulls and Bucs.
    As soon as you stated “Bucs will win 7 – 8 games next year” you lost all credibility. Bucs are a 5 win team at best. Possible wins include Cleveland, St. Louis, Arizona, Detroit and Seattle… and we’ll be LUCKY to win 4 out of 5 of those games against other “shitty” teams and MAYBE 1 division game.
    So S.T.F.U. and stay down there in your little redneck retirement village.

    Thor, et al:
    Actually, the Bucs have:
    The youngest, most promising QB in the game
    3 RB’s who have proven themselves as feature backs
    One of the most talented offensive lines in the league (Faine, Penn, Joseph)
    One of the best MLB’s in the game, part of a solid LB crew
    Tanard Jackson, Aqib Talib and Ronde Barber in the secondary
    One of the best TE’s in the game
    One of (if not the) the youngest teams in the league
    A coach who was thrown into the job and who, after he got his bearings (firing his incompetent coordinators), got his team (who by your definition is absolutely pathetic) to beat both the Packers and the Saints and also win the last 2 of 3 games.
    Bucs are the team with the most promise in the league, bar none
