\u201cMr. Glazer, let\u2019s roll up to city hall for a chat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe finds the words of a Dade City Commissioner to be neither cute nor appropriate.<\/p>\n

Like most cities, towns and unincorporated areas across the Tampa Bay area, Dade City in east Pasco County is loaded with Buccaneers fans. However, public servant and Dade City commissioner Ann Cosentino last weekend seemed not to care about those rabid fans she represents.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re an Atlanta Falcons town,\u201d Cosentino said with a smile, per Hernando Sun reporter<\/a> Pat Yasinskas. (Yes, that Pat Yasinskas, the former ESPN and Tampa Tribune beat writer, an attendee of Ira Kaufman\u2019s birthday party last August.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Falcons quarterback Michael Penix, a Dade City kid who later starred at Pasco and Tampa Bay Tech high schools, hosted a 300-kid youth camp on Cosentino\u2019s turf. Penix not only paid the bill for the event, per Yasinskas, Dade City named a street after him.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear from Yasinskas that Penix plans to plant deep Bay area roots while he quarterbacks the Falcons, and it seems somebody is trying to build a base of Falcons fandom on the Bucs\u2019 home turf.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWith most of a crowd of about 500 decked out in Falcons\u2019 red, black and white, Dade City held a street-renaming event Saturday afternoon,\u201d Yasinskas wrote, noting Penix told the kids the camp would be an annual event.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Joe is all for giving back and supporting kids, but the Falcons-focused part of this really stinks.\u00a0Where does it stop? How many Falcons players might join Penix next year at a much bigger event?<\/p>\n

Will he do something similar at Tampa Bay Tech, 10 miles from One Buc Palace?<\/p>\n

Given Penix\u2019s status and potential, Joe thinks someone at One Buc Palace should put this on their radar. And while the Bucs rarely have community relations events in Dade City, perhaps it\u2019s time to get one on the calendar.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, fans are welcome to send a tasteful email to the Dade City commissioner,\u00a0acosentino@dadecityfl.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMr. Glazer, let\u2019s roll up to city hall for a chat.\u201d Joe finds the words of a Dade…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":39654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[3529,3527,1232,62,3528,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-39653","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-bucs-message-boards","9":"tag-bucs-news","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114798290854485389","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
