Bucs defensive tackle Brian Price was removed from Sunday’s game in the third quarter after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but the officials had nothing to do with the removal.

So, Raheem Morris: Did you kick your own player out of the game?

“Yes, I sent him to the locker room,’' Morris said via the St. Petersburg Times. “I told him go home. F---. Yeah. Because it’s foolish, it’s selfish to your teammates, to everybody in your organization, to your fans. That’s terrible. That’s just selfish behavior to get a 15-yard penalty, in that situation, when that’s all we talk about, when that’s all we discuss. You just can’t do that to your team.”

Morris was fired up after his team fell to 4-8 and a tie for the basement in the NFC South. That’s not the sort of improvement that Morris may need to keep his job.
