Like any professional sports team with a half-ass newspaper behind him, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are searching for a win any place they can get it.
Jake Berry, longtime production director for U2, says the crew adds another touch: the luck of the Irish.
“I don’t know if the band is aware of your sad record with your football team here so the team would like us to come here because unfortunately, with our production being on the grounds for so for long, we have a tendency to ruin grass so it has to be resodded,” Berry told News Channel 8 reporter Samara Sodos. “If they resod, I hope it will give the Bucs some more luck and you can win the next eight.”
“If we change it, we turn around the pitch so it will go the other way and we’ll bring you more luck. A lot of Irish luck.”
It’s my experience that the only thing U2 brings to a stadium and it’s team are a lot of drunk one-quarter Irish people. You know what I’m talking about. Every Sully and O’[insert name here] shows up to get plastered and rock out show their Irish heritage. Whatever, that means (drinking Guinness instead of Pabst)?
If anything, I’ve got to say that U2 is bad luck. They played at Gillette Stadium earlier this year, and looked at how the Patriots are doing. They sucky long time, and the future doesn’t look bright unless Tom Brady can become half the quarterback he used to be.
So the best advice I can offer Bucs fans is to just hang in there. I mean we’re not even through hurricane season yet, and you guys want to burn through all your good luck and karma now? Granted you probably won’t get a win until week 9 when the Packers decide to take a vacation in Tampa, but there’s a win somewhere on your schedule.
