1st Round, Twentieth Overall: Buccaneers Select Aqib Talib

Talib blew off his scheduled visit with the Cowboys last month. Mario Manningham blew the Cowboys interview off at the Combine. Now I hate the stinkin' Cowboys as much as any kid who grew up a snowball's throw away from Veterans Stadium, but since when do NFL prospects blow off the Cowboys? They're a glamour franchise coming off a great year, and their owner is one of the most powerful men in sports, a guy who drives a cement mixer filled with hundred dollar bills and will drop them in a player's driveway if he likes what he sees. What are these kids thinking? "Oh, Jerry Jones wants to talk to me, but I just bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii, and I can't go anywhere until I figure out how to beat Sonic with Samus."

We Won't Even Talk About The Pirate Ship On His Ass

All we really know about Mr. John Herold here is that he was arrested for trespassing on Feb. 1, 2008, somewhere in Florida. Now, seeing that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' season ended on Jan. 6, we have to assume that those are permanent tattoos, right? Must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Such are the delights of scrolling through Mugshotdujour.com, which is a must-visit if you don't mind the night terrors. Herold may be the top sports-related entry, although this next guy comes close. More »

Saying Goodbye To Mike Alstott


It might come as a surprise to some of you that Buccaneers "fullback" Mike Alstott has retired. The surprise, of course, is that he didn't retire years ago; we hadn't noticed him the last couple of years either. More »

wild card weekend

Bucs vs. Giants, The Second Half!


It was either this, or a picture of four Tampa cheerleaders. I like to think I made the right decision (thanks to Getty Images for the choice though). Since we last saw each other at halftime things have taken an interesting turn. The Bucs botched the opening kickoff giving the Giants an incredible opportunity to capitalize, but like the Redskins things got dicey in the red zone. Eli picked up a crucial delay penalty and the third down play was thrown underneath and it never had a chance. The Giants settled for a field goal and we've arrived at the score of 17-7. The Giants had a chance to move the ball at the end of the first half and the blew a chance at a touchdown that could bury the opponent. Let's see what happens next, after the jump... More »

Bucs vs. Giants! Yar, They Blow!

It's that time again, and I'm positively pumped for this one! New York and Tampa are taking the field and the air is alive with excitement! Who am I kidding? I'm watching Pitt play Nova while taping the Wizards and the Sonics. Don't worry though, I've brought in a reinforcement television and I'll be keeping you up to date on all the action in case you're stuck at work, church, or some other unenviable commitment. Or perhaps you just love the companionship offered by a computer. You should stick around regardless, because I'll be providing occasional updates and commentary. Also, punch and pie... More »

It's The NFC South Pants Party

nfl season preview

NFL Season Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, we have to go this early. So there you have it.

Last year, we asked some of our favorite writers to opine why Their Favorite Team Was Better Than Yours. Ultimately, we found this constrictive, and it also might have killed James Frey. So this time, we've just asked them to just run free, talk about their team, their experience as a fan, their hopes, their dreams, their desires for oral sex. All our teams are now assigned; if you sent us an email and we didn't get back to you, we're sorry, and we accept your scorn. But today: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Your author is Russell Levine, an editor for Football Outsiders. His words are after the jump.

The Anticlimactic Retirement of Jake Plummer

I didn't believe Jake Plummer when he said he was considering retiring. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was because I was looking forward to many more years of exciting, high-level Jake-the-Snake football... but I sort of doubt that. More »

The Money's Out There, You Pick It Up, It's Yours

Jake Plummer Will Spread Peace Everywhere But Tampa Bay

You've probably heard by now that Jake Plummer threatened to retire from the NFL just as the Broncos were attempting to trade him to Tampa Bay. Jake is serious with the retirement talk, according to those close to him, and he just might spend that retirement making the world a better place. Via Michael David Smith at the FanHouse, from the Rocky Mountain News: More »

We Thought That Cook Looked A Lot Like Mike Sherman

Well, at least there's one good thing about playing for the Raiders, says Warren Sapp. When you're 2-8, no one poisons your food. Sapp used our most hallowed food-related holiday to reminisce about the time that, when he played for Tampa Bay, someone tried to take him out like a KGB spy. And he's blaming Eagles fans, of course.

Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action

We are always hesitant to grouse and grumble about the low excitement level of a particular NFL game and use it as an opportunity to make some larger statement about the game itself; one of the more random things about sports is that sometimes an individual game will just stink, and it's no reflection on the sport itself or the players participating. You can bring two good teams together, and sometimes, bad play will just result. That doesn't mean it's not fun; it's still sports, and it's still better than dealing in spreadsheets or doing a sales call. More »
