TAMPA — Buccaneers DE Jacquies Smith spent a portion of the bye week in his hometown of Dallas, where he spent a day walking around the State Fair of Texas. Like most who attend such events, Smith couldn’t avoid eating a few things he probably shouldn’t have, including a fried red velvet cupcake that stuck with him for a while.
“I don’t really know why I ate it, but I ate it,’’ Smith said, with a laugh. “It was good, too. But I made sure I got back early just to make sure I slept that thing off before we got back to practice.
