The Blackout Boys
September 8th 2010 00:09
As we all know, the NFL season will be kicking off this week, with many questions to be answered as there always are. Are the Jets really that good? Does Brett Favre have any thing left in the tank? Do the Saints have the stuff to repeat? I know there's one thing that can be promised at the start of the season. I won't be watching as much of my favorite team.
1. Yes I am a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Snicker, chuckle, laugh until you cry, but yes the Bucs are my team, always have been, always will be. Here's one fact about the Bucs. They sucked last year. This year they come in with a squad that's average age is 25. The players are young, and so is the coach, Raheem Morris, who went from the DB coach to head honcho in a matter of blinks, because our ownership got cheap on us again. The Bucs are coming off a dismal, horrific, put paper bags over your head, type season. This year, there's been an extreme drop in ticket sales, so with no sale-outs, no home games will air where I live. The Bucs start their season off against another NFL power-house, the Cleveland Browns (still as boring as their name). Oh, get your popcorn ready for this one.
In all seriousness, this is a must win game for the Bucs. Yes, I said it What team that promises improvement and growth wants to lose to Cleveland. If your not going to eat the Browns, what do you expect the rest of the season. Of course, in all fairness, Cleveland's probably thinking the same thing about Tampa Bay. Besides, the Browns actually won two more games than the Bucs last year. Wow, it was hard to say that last sentence.
On the bright side, I have faith the Bucs will win more games than last year. They won three last year, so I would say with their improvements, I would predict probably around... four wins. Yeah, that sounds about right. Besides leading the NFC in un-used turnstiles, the Bucs, with just signing LeGarette Blount, should also lead the league in punches thrown, seeing as OT Jeremy Trueblood was swimming in yellow hankies last year, and CB Aquib Talib punched a cab driver in the neck on a bridge.
The bottom line is, I want the Bucs to do well, even though I may roll my eyes or shake my head at half the plays they run. The days of Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, and John Lynch are all over, save for Ronde Barber still doning the pewter. Yes, its getting pretty bad. You know that when you wonder if your going to get beat by the Browns. But with Jake Delhomme, the Buc killer, on the Browns now, I wouldn't be surprised to see a big fat L after Sunday. Asked what he thought of Delhomme having been able to pick apart the Buc D as of recently, Coach Raheem Morris gave it as elementary as he could. "You got to know that he knows that you know what he knows." Um... where's my Advil? Anyway, look at it this way. There will be more people in watching the game in the stadium than any other place near Tampa. And so the story of the "Blackout Boys" begins.
