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 [...]

Monday Rambling.

I’ve got a lot on my mind right now within the sports world and in trying to kick off the new year with more posts I just wanted to comment on a few things I thought about over the weekend.

The playoff games I watched this weekend were pretty good for the most part. The Ravens [...]

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 injuries piling up, but let’s not make excuses.

The list continues to grow for Buccaneers players in the rehab center. Jon Gruden came out and talked about it today.  They now have at least 10 players I could count on the weekly injury list..

Michael Clayton
Brian Griese
Jeff Garcia
Jovan Haye
Chris Hovan
Greg White (oops, I mean Stylez G. White)
Sean Mahan
Jeremy Zuttah
Joey Galloway (not officially listed but [...]

Catching up with the Bucs. Bryant, Garcia, etc.

Let’s wrap up the goings on with the Bucs this week, and we don’t need to talk about the Carolina fiasco anymore than we already have.

Adrian Peterson has accused one of the Bucs players of trying to take him out. I can’t go back and watch the game to figure out who it was but [...]

Bucs still look solid but….

   The Bucs took their unbeaten home streak to six with a 23-20 victory against the Saints on Sunday but there’s still some uncertainty revolving around the team. It was a great showing of the defense, again, against the league’s best offense that featured some great play from the secondary. Ronde Barber apparently took the early [...]

Bucs Graham and Hayes hit IR.

   In not so surprising news today the Bucs placed RB Earnest Graham and LB Geno Hayes on injured reserve and they will be gone for the rest of the season. Graham hurt his ankle in the first quarter of the Viking game and coach Jon Gruden immediately speculated that he was gone for the year. [...]

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 [...]

Favre drama is over, well sort of…

   The Brett Favre to the Bucs drama is over now but Brett Favre is a never ending soap opera all by himself anyway so it’s never really over. I’ve been reading other blogs, listening to the radio and watching all this crap on TV and I come away extremely amused. I’m glad he didn’t [...]

The Buc soap opera continues.

   I really think the Bucs should have their own reality show with cameras following Gruden, Allen and every QB in the league since they will all be linked to playing for Gruden at some point. I usually get really annoyed by all this type crap, but I must admit that this one has got [...]

Here we go with all the Favre BS!

   Anyone who wants Bret Favre to come to the Bucs I have two words for you, shut up! It’s not bad enough that we’ve been dealing with endless QB carousel that Jon Gruden loves to operate,the Jeff Garcia contract shit that’s been going on and among other Gruden/Allen BS. Now we want to start [...]

Catching up with the Bucs.

   It was a fairly active week with the Bucs as far as off-season stuff goes and there were some things that you may have missed that you need to check out. The Bucs had their annual Fanfest over the weekend and there were some things brought up there that are worth noting also. Let’s [...]

Bucs stuff on ‘Psycho’ Stevens and Garcia.

   First things first, don’t think that I’m grouping these guys in any way except they both play for the Bucs. That being said, Jeff Garcia is sounding like an idiot! I was on his side at the beginning of the off-season when he said he wanted a new deal. I have no problem with [...]

Bucs re-sign Haye, lose Spires.

   Finally got some Bucs news for the football junkies.

   Veteran DE Greg Spires who we all remember abusing the Raiders in the Super Bowl season has left the Bucs to sign with…. you guessed it, the Raiders. Spires signed a one year contract after being released by the Bucs this off-season. Spires was never [...]

The Bucs bring in ANOTHER Quarterback.

   OK the Bucs must be messing with us now. This must be some sort of twisted joke by the Gruden/Allen show. According to Yahoo NFL the Bucs have brought in undrafted free-agent QB Sam Keller from Nebraska to ‘compete’ for a roster spot. We shall now see the Bucs camp begin with Garcia, Griese, [...]

The Chris Simms situation.

   Well the draft is over and all the hoopla began on how great everyone is or why did they draft a guy like Dexter Jackson so high and then I saw something that was actually interesting. Roy Cummings reported today that the Bucs received trade offers for Chris Simms and turned them down. Huh?! [...]
