Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has to be one of the unluckiest players in the National Football League right now. First he has a splenectomy (operation to remove his spleen), then he finds out he is #4 on the team’s QB depth chart, which has to at the very least be somewhat unsettling to him. Physically, he is doing just fine, save for his left arm which has jinxed him on occasion. But tonight’s game against the Houston Texans will more than likely determine his future in a Bucs...

As the Carolina Panthers prepare for Sunday’s NFC South showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home, it looks as if they will have to do it with David Carr starting at quarterback. Normal starter Jake Delhomme sat for the second straight day on Thursday, and all signs are not pointing to Carr getting his first start as a member of the Panthers. Delhomme is suffering from a strained right elbow that he suffered in the teams 27-20 win in Atlanta last Sunday.
Panthers head coach John... Read Full Story
A wild and tragic Week 1 gives way to another slate of NFL battles this weekend. One can assume that there won’t be any signal-pirating going on from the sidelines after the Patriots and Bill Belichick received Roger Goodell’s wrath a few days ago.
Expect some teams who dominated last week to get an ugly reminder that it’s too early to call themselves this year’s Cinderella Team or think 16-0. Strap yourselves in, football fans!
Houston Texans (1-0) at Carolina Panthers (1-0): CBS, 1pm... Read Full Story

Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden is known for having one of the most complex playbooks in football. It might not be as thick as the 700-pager that Al Saunders makes the Redskins memorize, but the Gruden system is so complicated in its verbiage that quarterbacks can get tongue-tied calling plays.
Running back Michael Bennett, who’s new to Tampa Bay after getting traded there from Kansas City, tells the St. Petersburg Times he’s struggling to learn the Gruden... Read Full Story
Look, it's not done yet, but Chris Simms is going to get cut here in the next few days. Jon Gruden has warned the media not to rule out them keeping four quarterbacks, but it's not going to happen. People I talk to say Gruden thinks his team is going to sneak up on some opponents this year, and based on the flurry of veteran signings it made this offseason, you can bet that Gruden values every roster spot even more this season and will do his best to stave off mediocrity again wih a win-at...

Welcome to another successful installment of Five Questions with an Enemy Blogger, where each week, via email, I will be exchanging hot questions and [sometimes] answers with a rival blogger about their team and the upcoming matchup.

Usain Bolt said he had no intentions of playing professional football in the United States, and apparently he has no intention of testing his speed against the NFL's best either.
