I could love the Bucs offseason but….

The Bucs have had an interesting off season so far and we all can argue about most of what they’ve done, but the Brooks thing is still killing me. I know it’s the fan in me feeling it, but I still can’t find a legitimate reason for what they did there. I could understand salary [...]

I will try to write about it soon, but it hurts right now.

I got a ton a phone calls and text messages yesterday when the Bucs released Brooks, Dunn, June, Hilliard and Galloway. Thank god I was at work or I may have done something stupid. I can understand or deal with all of those moves except for Derrick Brooks. Why Brooks? Is there a plan to [...]

Who’s to blame for the Bucs choke job and what do we do next?

Well, it was as ugly as it could possibly be. Not only did they drop the final four games of the season and miss the playoffs, but they did it in old school orange Buccaneer fashion. I think we all took the Carolina loss fairly well, it was on the road against a tough team [...]

Bucs talk. Sapp, Kiffin and Tennessee.

The Bucs looked good against Minnesota.

   I had to work Sunday so I didn’t get to look at the whole game until last night. Man did the Bucs look good this week though. The Bucs couldn’t get a good running game going after Earnest Graham went down with an ankle injury after one carry, and apparently this injury may end his [...]

Wrapping up the Bucs first half.

   The Bucs have finished the first half of their season 5-3 with a 4-0 home record and there are still a ton of questions hovering over them. The first half was riddled with typical Gruden drama, questionable play calling and player personnel decisions along with the typical “D” we’ve gotten so used to seeing. Some [...]

Galloway isn’t practicing, so what?!

I’m finding it very humorous that there are reports every day about Joey Galloway and when he’ll be able to practice. This is when the football reports drive me crazy, people are so starved for football news that they report on a guy not being at practice when he really shouldn’t be. Does anyone really [...]
