Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Buccaneers almost had a decent season last year and then it all fell apart. Playing in what turned out to be one of the tougher division in football, former head coach Jon Gruden and former quarterback Jeff Garcia couldn't get it done in the end. Gruden maybe more to blame with his quarterback carousel which at times was necessary due to injuries, but at other times he seemed to change for change's sake. Which in the end may have cost him his job. The positive of... Read Full Story
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. For the Tampa Bay Bucs, last year was one of those times.
Oh, they were good too. They were about as good defensively as the Saints were offensively. That in and of itself qualifies as pretty "lucky", given that half their defense remembers the Taft administration and the other half doesn’t remember the Reagan administration.
But even more than that, Zeus must really have a boner for Fabulous Jeff, a guy who was spanked by Grover Cleveland on... Read Full Story
The 3-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers flew to Denver this week to face the 3-1 Broncos with a need for a win to tie the 4-1 Carolina Panthers for first place in the NFC South. But Denver's Michael Pittman, who Tampa Bay released earlier this year, provided just enough offense to push the Broncos past the Bucs for a 16-13 win. Some people carry an inner strength of immense calibre and beyond the capabilities of most others and Matt Bryant is one of those people. After burying his infant son Tryson... Read Full Story
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers assumed first place in the NFC South earlier today by soundly defeating the Carolina Panthers 27 to 3. Geno Hayes blocked a punt early in the first quarter and ran it back for a touchdown creating momentum that never wavered. The tenacious Bucs defense intercepted Jake Delhomme three times and prevented the Panther's offense from ever taking flight. Jeff Garcia performed flawlessly completing 15 of 20 passes for 173 yards and one touchdown to Alex Smith, and allowed... Read Full Story
I’m a San Francisco 49er fan, yet the day Brett Favre was drafted, I knew he was starting to be a Legend. I still have a San Francisco Examiner newspapper that I kept compartment this day. And I knew a single day I was starting to benefaction that square of story a single day. Where will Brett Favre finish up? I consider he should retire, only the approach I yet Joe Montana as good as Jerry Rice Should’ve as well, not be traded for destiny breeze picks. I consider that’s bullshit. Retire... Read Full Story
Early this morning, I felt it it time to break from political blogging and focus on other interests. On Sunday, we worship, we watch football, we ride Harleys, and we rant less about politics. Today, the mighty Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolled into the windy city to face the Chicago Bears. The Buccaneers fell behind early with two Bears field goals, but struck back with an Ike Hilliard four yard touchdown reception from Brian Griese. The Buccaneers increased their lead to 14-6 when Gaines Adams... Read Full Story
Earlier today, the 0-10 Detroit Lions jumped to a comfortable first quarter 17-0 lead over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But Jeff Garcia and the never out Bucs decimated the Lions defense to comeback with 35 unanswered points. Garcia threw for only 165 yards but for two touchdowns and no interceptions. Ronde Barbe played another one of many career high games with two interceptions, one of which he returned 65 yards for a touchdown. The fumble prone but blazingly fast Clifton Smith ran...

After losing his three month old son earlier in the week, I'm not sure how Matt Bryant dragged himself out of bed today. But somehow he mustered enough strength to drive to Raymond James stadium and kick the Buccaneers past the Packers for a decisive 30-21 win. Bryant scored twelve of the Buccaneers thirty points with three field goals and three extra points. Although a fierce competitor, we miss seeing Brett Favre lead the Packers, who before the NFL's realignment, were tough division... Read Full Story
Attention training camps: Use the Packers as an example; don't distract your entire team. Brett Favre did not report to camp with the rest of the Packers this weekend. He said his arrival was delayed after a conversation with Packers GM Ted Thompson. With the media circus that is revolving around Favre stepping out of retirement, this is the best thing that could happen to the Packers. With all camps starting, many other teams should take this as an example, and the Jets, Vikings, and... Read Full Story
