Bucs Fans Rise Up Against Jerramy Stevens

Apparently, Tyler Brayton isn't the only person who's not happy that Jerramy Stevens has re-signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In fact, it's hard to find someone in Tampa who is happy about it.

According to the Tampa Tribune, Bucs fans have been lighting up the phones at WDAE AM 620, the team's flagship radio station, to protest Stevens' presence on the team. Steve Duemig, the station's drive-time show host, seems to agree with all of them.

"I've said I will not let this die. I think it's disgusting that he's a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We talked about Stevens for four hours Monday, and there wasn't one dissenting opinion."

Duemig (and everyone else) is upset because of Stevens' ugly track record, which includes multiple DUI arrests and a recent conviction, protests from his condo neighbors about vomit and used condoms raining down from Stevens' deck, and an arrest on rape charges while he was a player at the University of Washington. Those charges were dropped, but thanks to Stevens' history, the story hasn't gone away.

I suspect the fans' anger toward him won't go away, either. He's not exactly a class act. Here's hoping Brayton doesn't miss next time.
