Plummer Would Rather Be In Boise Than Tampa

It looks like, at least for this year anyway, Jake Plummer is staying out of football.

"Everything I would need to play again, I hung 'em all up in a box in storage," he said.

And yet he still hasn't filed his retirement papers. If he really wanted to make a statement about how out-of-football he is, he could do that and end the speculation. Unless he's holding back just for the sake of fucking with us, which would make him the funniest man in America.

My guess is that he is taking a year off and will work something out with the Buccaneers after the season is over. Gruce can be pretty persuasive and the team has the upper hand here (in case you haven't heard, the Bucs have a lot of quarterbacks!) If Plummer is set against playing for Tampa Bay, Gruce will most likely convince him to play for some other team that needs a veteran quarterback (Cleveland, maybe?) to avoid having to pay back his big signing bonus and even start earning a check again. And that team definitely won't be Denver.

"If I'm rooting for any Broncos, it'll be Boise State," Plummer said.

Me-ow! Bitter much? Anyway, for now he's content in Idaho.

"I haven't forgotten Idaho, and it hasn't forgotten me," Plummer said.

Let's see... Tampa has hot women in bikinis and year-round sunshine, Idaho has white supremacists and potatoes. Enjoy!
