		<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[I have to admit I was a little surprised to learn that the Gruden/Allen era came to an end on Friday, but was happy I was at work when I heard it. My immediate reaction was laughing and jumping for joy, but as I let it settle in I tried to put things into perspective. When Gruden first arrived in Tampa I was as excited as anyone else with the thought that he would be bringing his high powered offense to the Bucs. Matching that offense with the defense we had in place, I thought we were looking at least one Super Bowl victory, but had thoughts of a couple in my head. After winning the Super Bowl in his first season with the team I couldn&#8217;t have been happier. Since then the team has been up and down and things have slowly gone downhill. All of the excuses we&#8217;ve heard made for Gruden are partially true. The injuries, salary cap, draft picks and what not, but it all comes down to the fact that the team has no direction. The spats with players, the lack of major free agents being brought in and the botched draft picks sealed Gruden&#8217;s fate.  I think this is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 and the Bucs were banged up. The Atlanta game was tough to swallow, but it was another tough road game and we could all understand it a little. The San Diego game was an absolute disaster and no one wanted to believe that it actually happened. It all could have been salvaged though with a win against an awful Oakland team and a Cowboy loss. The Cowboys did their part by taking an absolutely laughable beating at the hands of the Eagles, but it was too little too late. The Bucs had already lost to the second most dysfunctional team in the NFL, and it wasn&#8217;t as close as the 31-24 score would lead one to believe. This monumental collapse has left me wondering, who do we blame for this? Let&#8217;s try to figure it out. The offense? Jon Gruden&#8217;s offense has never really taken [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   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 &#8220;D&#8221; we&#8217;ve gotten so used to seeing. Some of the good things we&#8217;ve seen so far include&#8230; Earnest Graham is the workhorse RB we saw last season and looks like he&#8217;s improving on every aspect of his game. He was always a good blocker so that&#8217;s just the norm there, but his improvement on catching the ball out of the backfield and his field vision have made him my leading candidate for offensive MVP on this team. Antonio Bryant has stepped up and done more than anyone could&#8217;ve expected in Joey Galloway&#8217;s absence. We&#8217;ve had reclamation projects at this position before who we&#8217;ve been told would make big impacts (remember David Boston?) but this one looks to be the real deal. The defense in still headed by Monte Kiffin, why expect less? The entire defense has showed they&#8217;re still one of the top units out there. D-Brooks looks 25 again, Barrett Ruud is playing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   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&#8217;s never really over. I&#8217;ve been reading other blogs, listening to the radio and watching all this crap on TV and I come away extremely amused. I&#8217;m glad he didn&#8217;t come here even though the circus with Favre, Gruden and Garcia would&#8217;ve been awesome. There are so many people out there that are upset about this it kills me. I get into trades, free agency and the draft like anyone else but this whole thing was a disaster from the get go. I have no real opinion on this because it was such a mess you know the end would be as screwed up as the beginning. I just couldn&#8217;t wait for it to be over. I have to say, besides encouraging you to read all the regulars on this, to check out two sites mainly. First is The Pewter Plank who did an interview with Bruce Allen. Anytime this guy speaks he&#8217;s lying. I can&#8217;t imagine how hard it is for guys like Jeff Garcia to show up to work everyday and deal with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   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 me. The never ending Farve to the Bucs and Jeff Garcia is or isn&#8217;t our QB stuff is becoming fun. First on Friday the Bucs reportedly received permission to speak with Favre leading us to believe that he&#8217;s on the way. Then today it&#8217;s reported that Favre wants more options than the Bucs and Jets. Translation, I think the Bucs and Jets suck and I want to win. Then Garcia shows up and says &#8220;I&#8217;m the starting QB&#8221; and that he will not go down without a fight. Uh, weren&#8217;t you upset about your contract or something Jeff? Maybe this was Gruden and Allen&#8217;s plan all along, pretend they&#8217;re going to get Favre so Garcia would shut up about his contract. Brilliant! This is not going to go away anytime soon and should get more interesting before it&#8217;s over. Source: Bucs Beat Related Posts:Favre drama [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   Anyone who wants Bret Favre to come to the Bucs I have two words for you, shut up! It&#8217;s not bad enough that we&#8217;ve been dealing with endless QB carousel that Jon Gruden loves to operate,the Jeff Garcia contract shit that&#8217;s been going on and among other Gruden/Allen BS. Now we want to start yapping about Bret Favre coming to town and adding a few more rings to the circus. I love sports rumors and speculation and stuff like that but this is annoying. First things first I don&#8217;t want to take away from Favre&#8217;s career accomplishments or anything of that nature so don&#8217;t take what I&#8217;m about to say as me being a Favre basher, he&#8217;s one of the greatest QB&#8217;s of all time. That being said, I don&#8217;t want Bret Favre here and I have a problem with anyone who thinks he&#8217;s an option that will make this team better. The team he was on last year had far superior talent at the WR position and possibly the O-Line as well. If he were to heave balls around with this team you could easily reverse the 28-15 TD-INT rate he had last year. Not only this but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   In the last month the Lightning have gone from the least talked about team in the NHL to the most talked about. They have been bought by Oren Koules and gang (finally), hired the Mullet, traded Dan Boyle and oh god let&#8217;s stop for a second. I&#8217;ll list all the moves by date below but I want to hit on the Dan Boyle trade. There was a ton of reaction to this and I need to put my two cents in. I agree with everyone who said it was a shady move by the new group to lie to Boyle and turn around a trade him. That was an asshole move that we have seen all too often from some other guys in the area (rhymes with Gruden and Allen, oops) and is not something I want to see become a trend with these guys. That being said, it was a good move. Boyle was overpaid and overrated as a defender. He was a good player but the picks we got for him are worth more than he would&#8217;ve been to this team. He may be missed as a teammate but no where else. As far as the rest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   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&#8217;s get to it.    Justin Pawlawski of the &#8221;Buc Blitz&#8221; show, which is on Saturdays from 12-3 pm, over at 620 WDAE did a couple of interviews that you should definitely listen to. I really like this guy and he should have his own show somewhere during the week besides producing the Ron and Ian show (which is the best local show by the way). Maybe get rid of stupid ass Jim Rome? EPIC! He does a great job of asking questions without being confrontational or being too soft. He interviewed Bucs GM Bruce Allen at Fanfest and more interestingly, an interview with QB Jeff Garcia while filling in for Steve Duemig. It was said on the Ron and Ian show that when Garcia called in he was so mad Justin had to calm him down in order to put him on the air. Check those interviews out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   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&#8230;. you guessed it, the Raiders. Spires signed a one year contract after being released by the Bucs this off-season. Spires was never a superstar here but was solid throughout his 6 year tenure with the team totalling 256 tackles and 26 sacks in 87 starts. Spires lost his starting position half way through last season to Greg White but I think we all remember him beating up on the Raiders in the Super Bowl causing pressure, getting a sack and knocking down balls. We wish Greg well in the abyss that is Oakland.    A minor move took place today with the Bucs signing DT Jovan Haye to a one restricted free-agent deal worth $2.09 million. The Bucs and Haye were unable to reach an agreement on a multi-year deal.    Speaking of contracts the Bucs are still unable to come up with anything for Greg White. I think the Bucs better work something out here as White proved he&#8217;s an animal and worth a decent contract. It also [...]]]></description>
