		<description><![CDATA[The Bucs have had an interesting off season so far and we all can argue about most of what they&#8217;ve done, but the Brooks thing is still killing me. I know it&#8217;s the fan in me feeling it, but I still can&#8217;t find a legitimate reason for what they did there. I could understand salary cap issues or something like that, but they are far from having cap issues. I love the addition of Derrick Ward and Kellen Winslow. I like that they moved on from Jeff Garcia. I&#8217;ll break it down to what I think is positive and negative. Positive moves: Signing Derrick Ward. Ward is an animal and should combine with Earnest Graham to make a devastating backfield similar to what he was a part of with the Giants. Trading for Kellen Winslow. Say what you want about this guy, he can flat out play. He may have caused some problems and may be injury prone, but I feel this is one of those guys that a change of scenery and atmosphere may help more than anyone realizes. Firing Gruden and Allen. I&#8217;ve already spoke my piece about this so I won&#8217;t delve into it again. Good riddence. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you all know by now, no one was happier than I was and still am that the Gruden era is over. That being said, I have to start wondering what the hell the Bucs new front office is doing right now. I think most of us have problems with a lot of moves that are made and, being fans first, we tend to get a little too emotionally attached to players like Derrick Brooks, John Lynch, etc. But when new ownership takes over and the first major moves made are cutting a Hall of Fame linebacker and trading for a hothead like Kellen Winslow, it makes you stand up and take notice, and not in a good way. The Pewter Plank jumped out on this today and did a great job of putting it all out there and that led me to pile on as well. In releasing Dunn, Brooks, Hilliard and company last week the Bucs got my attention and sent me into a confused whirlwind wondering what the hell they were doing. I can understand and get on board with the release of everyone there but Brooks. The only explanation I can come up with as to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 bring him back? I can&#8217;t fathom this and I really don&#8217;t know what to say about it yet. I will try to get my head around it this weekend, but I just don&#8217;t see the sense in it right now. I have to throw a tantrum before I go to work now, so I&#8217;ll catch up with you later.

		<description><![CDATA[Full Name: Derrick Dewan Brooks Birthplace: Pensacola, FL Born: 04/18/1973 Position: OLB How Acquired: 1st round draft pick (28th overall) in 1995 What we know: Derrick went to Florida State University and was a four year letterman standout in college. While at FSU he was part of the 1993 National Championship team (bs by the way, no offense Derrick) and graduated with a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in business communications, which he followed up with a masters degree later on. Derrick was one of the core members of the Dungy/Kiffin defense that would wreak havoc through the NFL for over a decade, capped off with a Super Bowl in 2003. Under the defensive prowess of Dungy and Kiffin, and alongside John Lynch and Warren sapp, Brooks was a core piece in the innovative and much copied &#8220;Tampa Two&#8221; defense that has become a staple of nearly every teams defensive schemes from High School to the NFL. Derrick is as celebrated for his charity work in the community off the field as he is for his defensive dominance on the field. He is one of the most decorated athletes in the NFL receiving multiple awards throughout his career, topped off with his Defensive Player of the [...]]]></description>
