The NFL ruled that the cannons will not be allowed to fire after any Tampon scores during the Bowl on Sunday. Their reasoning is to keep the location as neutral as possible. Tampon normally fires the cannons on the pirate ship that is permanently affixed above one of the end zones in Ray-J one time for every point the bucs score during games. Those fuckers are super load too. They totally scare people the 1st time they're experienced.

The Tampon fans are crying about it here locally. Which obviously makes me smile.

But in thinking about this... my warped mind showed me something completely amazing about this cannon firing ban on Sunday. Holy Fucking Shit Man...

Jimmy Buffett predicted Tampon Tom losing this game on Sunday all the way back in 1975. I'm fucking serious.

You don't believe you say? Well, just read the following verses from the Buffett song A Pirate Looks At Forty and you will become a BELIEVER too...

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an OVER-FORTY victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late


You heard it here 1st my Brethren. Go place your bets now!!!


Jimmy Buffett can see the future...

Yeah it’s not a complete ban of cannon fire, rather it will be limited. Anyway, it’s good to at least limit the cannon fire.

So why was the foghorn blowing on every Rams third down in Superbowl LIII?
 
I think the concept of the cannons is cool. I wish the Rams had their own little sprinkle for third downs or TDs

Even if its as cheesy as an air raid siren.

Good question... must be more cheating from Belicheat somehow. LOL


Seriously though, I was at that game in person. I remember that when your team was on offense... there would be "hometown" team vocals and stuff coming over the PA system. They even did the "Whose House... Rams House" thing a few times.

Those cannons are a fucking different story though. Like I said before... when you experience those things go off for the 1st time... it's shocking. People literally lurch and kinda shake from the shock. That's gotta be why they're banned for the Bowl.
 
Yep... they LOUD.

2nd time I saw the Rams in Tampa, I brought my daughter who was in college at the time (we still talk about those ribs from the tailgate!!!)

Those cannons were a pain.

During halftime, a migraine started and those freaking cannons felt like they were blowing my head off. Thankfully, we didn't leave and we won late.

But yeah... F those damn cannons.

Buccaneers' trademark cannons to fall silent during Super Bowl LV

The Buccaneers are set to become the first team in NFL history to play in a Super Bowl at their home stadium. Such a reality begs the question: Will they enjoy elements of their home environment? The team announced the cannons that customarily fire at R

Those cannons will not fire on Sunday before or during the game, except for during the introduction of the Buccaneers, according to NFL senior VP Michael Signora, who told the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud they will be silenced during the game. If the Bucs win, Signora told Stroud, they'll fire the cannons "long and loud."
