Buccaneers Struggling to Stay Afloat
I have always agreed with the famous Herm Edwards quote “you play to win the game,” but when your team is 1-10, it is difficult not to be eyeing the number one pick in next year’s draft. It is hard to believe that just last season the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were a legitimate playoff contender before they tanked it in the final month and a half. After some house cleaning, the Bucs are an aberration of their old self.
Although some fair-weather fans have hung up their Buccaneers jerseys for the year, I am staying loyal to the team. Since Josh Freeman began starting a few weeks ago, the Bucs have had some signs of life. Building towards the future, they also have a solid o-line and a hard-running tailback in Cadillac Williams. With a potential number one pick, the Bucs could be a contender again in a couple of seasons.
An Ejected Raiders Fan Plea
After looking into the story of a Oakland Raiders fan that was unjustly ejected from Buccaneers, Raymond James Stadium. In following the buzz that has risen which is chalk full of comments on both sides of this issue, it is apparent that the truth may never be revealed. But in a day and time were seems to be no loyalty would it be good to see away fans getting due course when trying to come into a home town stadium?
With that said it should be said that the jokes could and shoudl remain tasteful. Who seriously expects to go into a home town and not get guff. Stay at home, root with no recourse.
With regards to Raiders fan steve I take this story with a grain of salt but we have covered recent news that revealed event staff does not have specific steps that they need to abide by when ejecting fans from a game. As many of you may have noticed in most private establishments businesses have the right to refuse admittence or continued attendance.
All in all we have seen the recourse in other fans or even players becoming involved in fan affairs so it is probably best taht event staff hold the responsibility. Whether or not the process is going to be fair is another matter. But things could have been worse for this hapless fan. He was lucky Tim McGraw wasn’t near.
Retired John Lynch Will Be Remembered
Monday Marked the official retirement of hard hitting safety John Lynch. Lynch decided to retire a nine time Pro Bowler playing for both the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and finishing his career with 1,277 tackles, 100 catch preventions and 26 interceptions in 224 regular-season games.
“Just everything you’d want in a player,” Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said Friday after hearing about Lynch’s retirement. “He set an example on how to be a pro.” Lynch had made a name for himself and set a price for coming into the middle of the field. He will undoubtedly be missed for the tone he set and standards as a Pro.
Even after his 11 year carear seemed to be over with the Buccanneers including a 2002 Super Bowl championship Lynch landed in Denver and accomplished four more Pro Bowl appearances and finally an AFC championship loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After departing from the Broncos and cut from the Patriots Lynch is leaving the game behind.
