The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints aren't rivals according to some, including defensive end Cameron Jordan.
Jordan recently told Locked On Saints host Ross Jackson, "When we played them the second time it just proved everything that I believed in," about the Buccaneers.
Of course, what Jordan thinks of Tampa Bay - the non-rival he can't stop talking about - is that New Orleans is still the dominant team in the NFC South Division.
Never mind the three-straight division titles won by the Bucs, Jordan is more interested in the battle, not the war.
In that light perhaps Jordan has a case to make given that his franchise leads the Buccaneers 40-25 all-time and he is 18-10 against them during his career.
What Tampa Bay lacks in head-to-head wins against the Saints, they more than makeup for in the amount of diamonds on its Super Bowl ring. Something retired center Ryan Jensen has, but Jordan does not.
"The trash can," Jordan said when asked on Kay Adams' Up & Adams Show who a player on another team was he'd most like to fight. After feigning that he doesn't know Jensen's name Jordan did something that most NFL players don't do and mocked the All-Pro center for suffering a career-ending injury. "I don't know his name, he's an offensive lineman, whatever his name is, I won't think of it, uhhhh, he's been hurt."
As Adams tried to get Jordan and her producers to produce the name the defensive end nervously sipped his cocktail and tried to move the segment forward without having to complete the conversation until the host asked him what team the player played for.
Adams eventually produced the name for him, and Jordan continued his comedy.
"Big holder," Jordan said of Jensen. "After the snap guy," to which Adams responded that she loved the retired center and wanted no smoke from him.
Jordan responded to that by saying, "I don't."
And there ended another chapter in Jordan's obsession with the non-rival Buccaneers, their coaches, general managers, and players.
