If you want to visit “Revis Island,” today is the day to do so.
Bob Minning, the Mayor of Treasure Island, Florida has decided to rename his Island “Revis Island” for one day only.
According to the mayoral proclamation, on Thursday, September 12, Treasure Island, Florida will hereby become “Revis Island, Florida” for one day — and Revis Island is described in the proclamation as “an island filled with interceptions, touchdown returns and batted passes.”
“I’m honored and humbled to receive this special honor from the City of Treasure Island,” said Revis. “Ever since I became a Buccaneer, the support I’ve received from the Tampa Bay community has been tremendous. I’ll do my best to live up to this honor on Sunday afternoon in our home opener against the New Orleans Saints.”
When asked to describe the differences between Treasure Island and Revis Island, Mayor Minning paused briefly before replying: “In Treasure Island, we have the most beautiful beaches in all of Tampa Bay, and we always remind beachgoers to wear the appropriate sun screen. But I guess at Revis Island, you don’t need any sun screen — because at Revis Island, you’re ALWAYS covered!”
That’s real cute, but I would love to see someone change the name of an island to “Revis Island” for good.
