Dempsey got an exclusive interview with Bortles that will air in two parts starting at the top of the next hour.  He apparently gives a nice hat tip to the Bold City Brigade in the interview.

I wonder what there is left to ask the guy, he's been interviewed so much this past week.

Hopefully he does not ask about his girlfriend. 

 

That is getting old.

Did they just call him Mini-Luck?

Speaking of the BCB, check out today's O-zone mailbag on the main site and download that new video app, it's awesome.

The whole "nickname " thing is dumb too.  Things like that should evolve organically over a period of time & usually after a player has a reputation for being horrible or really good. To try & stick a rookie with a nickname when he won't even see playing time this year is lame.  Dempsey should get off that topic. I cringed when he asked Bortles about that. Small town mentality.

na, man.  Blaine Swaggert and "Ball Out" McCown disprove your theory.

I think you mean "Ball Out" McGowan.

Shake n Blake! Storm and Bortles.

Buckshot would kill some Jacksonville stereotypes.

What did he asked Bortles?

 

He asked Bortles to choose his own nickname.  He gave him the options B2 Bomber, and Bortles Kombat.   Bortles said he didn't play Mortal Kombat.  Then later Dempsey said that Britt McHenry's eyebrows were too dark.

Dempsey is very bush-league at times.

I hope we don't make Bortles Kombat a thing

B2 Bomber
