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.
