This is big boy football. Shame on you if you’re a reporter who thought Bruce Arians would be concerned about his nose tackle losing a tooth after being popped by a Colts lineman.
“I don’t care. He’s got 30 other ones,” Arians said Sunday after his Buccaneers beat Indianapolis 38-31 and Vita Vea left one of his teeth on the carpet at Lucas Oil Stadium.
“That ain’t nothin’,” Bruce added when the reporter pressed him on Vea continuing to play with his 30 teeth. Yes, the adult mouth typically has 32 teeth. Maybe Vita and Bruce have had a conversation on this before and Bruce knew how many teeth were in his nose tackle’s mouth.

Vita laughed off the missing tooth by taking to Instagram Story where he asked Colgate if they could spare some special toothpaste and asked fans if he should replace the tooth with a gold tooth “like every other Tongan.”
I worked 50 years in construction surrounded by manly men.We had a 5 stich rule.If the cut looked bigger than 5 stitches you got em…after the job.I once worked seven hours with a 30 stich cut straight down my leg. Duct tape and rags and back to work .Drank 4 beers on the way to the doc .Boy was he pissed I waited so long.
