Poor, poor Bucs

[Brad]

They aren't being shown on TV in Orlando today - it's the Colts and the Falcons...Sorry commentary on a sorry franchise.

Are the locals in Tampa still able to watch the Bucs fight for a .500 record today?

Brad, that was mentioned in the Trib this morning. Orlando shares the Bucs and Jaguars markets, and it is a requirement to show the road game, and because the Bucs are playing the Texans, it's on CBS, and the Jaguars are playing New England, 2 AFC teams, therefore they had to take the road game (Jax) instead of the Bucs home game.

Oh...that's too bad, I was hoping it was a snub...

Thanks for the update.

Nope, we haven't fallen that far, and I hope we don't ever get back to that point again, but I'm scared to death for the future after loosing McKay.

bucs and gruden will be back

they still won a coveted superbowl

i don't think they are a sorry fanchise any longer

Gruden is getting ripped by a lot of the media and locals. This is confusing to me since he won a Super Bowl with that team (They were after all 9-7 in 2001).  Just 8 years ago if I predicted we would see a championship team with the #22 offense, #27 in rushing and a defense that plays mostly zone, you would have laughed.

Gruden won a Superbowl with a team that Tony Dungy had already assembled, so he really hasn't done anything special if you ask me! Just my 2 cents.

winning a superbowl with someone elses team is harder to do
