Miko Grimes stands by 'Jew buddies' tweet; no comment from Bucs

TAMPA — Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes has yet to start his first training camp with the Bucs, but his wife Miko is already making headlines for the wrong reasons.

Miko Grimes built a strong following on Twitter with blunt and outspoken opinions in Miami, even about her husband's former team, the Dolphins. It's not unusual for her to use vulgarities in interacting with followers.

But early Monday morning, she made an anti-Semitic comment about billionaire Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, now the Dolphins' executive vice president of football operations.

"Gotta respect ross for keeping his jew buddies employed but did he not see how tannenbaum put the Jets in the dumpster w/that sanchez deal," she tweeted at 1:50 a.
