The Tampa Tribune Is Stalker-rific

Ever been really pissed about the result of a game but were sitting too far away from the coach for him to hear your beratement? Or maybe you think you've got the skills to make the team but can't get away from your day job long enough to go to One Buc for a tryout. If you were really inclined, I suppose you could go through public records to see where the coach lives. But most of us lose interest in stalking when it becomes more like work. Luckily for you, the Tribune has done half the work for you.

Bucs coach Jon Gruden and his family have moved from their Carrollwood home to a two-story house in the exclusive [deleted] neighborhood of north Tampa.

According to records obtained from the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Office, the five-bedroom house was purchased in May for $3.3 million. Bucs general manager Bruce Allen owns a [deleted] home 1.7 miles away.

Really hardcore "fans" are, in many cases, nuts. They are very passionate about something and would like nothing more than to share that passion with the object of their affections (football coach, superstar singer, sports blogger, etc.) All they need is for someone to remove one barrier to make it seem ok for them to camp outside of their fascination's house with a homemade playbook and a small vial of their own blood to share. Publishing his neighborhood of residence in a newspaper may be all the endorsement a whackjob needs. Saying the guy lives in "Tampa" is harmless. Advertising the actual community in public is irresponsible.
