Todd Bowles: Baker Mayfield and I have more in common than you think, he shows it more
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles has a reputation for being reserved, and Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has a reputation for being brash, but Bowles says the two of them are actually a lot alike.
Bowles said on the Pewter Report Podcast that he and Mayfield have similar approaches to the game, it's just that Bowles keeps his feelings closer to the vest.
'Baker is probably — if I was an outward personality, Baker would be the guy I probably would be,' Bowles said. 'We have more in common than you really think, he just shows it a little more.'
Bowles cited as an example the game last year when Mayfield mimicked the celebration of Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito. Bowles said he wouldn't have done that outwardly, but he has the same competitive spirit that makes Mayfield want to troll the other team's quarterback.
'I probably wouldn't have done the Tommy DeVito, but at the same time I could think it and he does what I think. We're kind of interconnected in that way. We're kind of just fraternal twins,' Bowles said.
They're twins who have had success together, winning the NFC South both years they've been together in Tampa Bay. That kind of success makes it easy for two outwardly different people to find common ground.

Tigers Announce Unfortunate Kerry Carpenter News Before White Sox Game
Tigers Announce Unfortunate Kerry Carpenter News Before White Sox Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Detroit Tigers (40-22) outfielder and designated hitter Kerry Carpenter is one of many reasons why his team has the best record in baseball. The 27-year-old is on pace for career-highs in homers (13) and RBI (27) through 57 games thus far, as his personal-best marks are 20 homers and 64 RBI across 118 games in 2023. Advertisement Additionally, Carpenter is third on the Tigers with an .849 OPS and second with a .273 batting average. The 6-foot-1-inch, 220-pounder also hit three homers in Detroit's 13-1 win over the Chicago White Sox (19-42) on Monday. However, the Tigers will have to win without Carpenter vs. the White Sox on Wednesday. Detroit Tigers designated hitter Kerry Carpenter (30). Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images While Carpenter was in the initial starting lineup, batting fifth and playing right field, the team announced the unfortunate news that he has been scratched with a hamstring issue. Wenceel Pérez is now in right field in his place. "Kerry Carpenter has been scratched due to right hamstring tightness," the club announced before the game. Detroit drafted Carpenter No. 562 overall in 2019 and called him up in August 2022. The Virginia Tech alum owns a career slash line of .276/.302/.512 with 57 homers and 158 RBI across 293 games. He also slashed .263/.300/.421 with one homer and four RBI in seven playoff contests last year. Advertisement The Tigers will face the White Sox one more time at Rate Field on Thursday before hosting the Chicago Cubs (38-22). After that, they'll go back on the road to play the Baltimore Orioles (23-36) before returning home to face the Cincinnati Reds (30-33) and Pittsburgh Pirates (22-39). Detroit owns a six-game lead atop the AL Central.
