Amen, BucFan South Tampa. Amen. That would be, in my humble opinion, the best of all possible scenarios.

Joe, better head back to the Buccaneers website. The Glazers have released a statement addressing these reports. It’s quite vague and good natured…

Forbes (Jan 2009) valued the Bucs at $1.1 billion probably about the 14th or 15th most valuable sports franchise in the world (Glazier’s Man U being #1) but in this economy whose going to pay $1.1 Billion for the Bucs (can those empty seats be refilled very fast in this economy?)

Of course the Bucs are for sale and have been, but, their value has decreased so tremendously over the last two years of economic woe I’m pretty sure the Glazier’s are not going to take a low bid offer (they can’t afford it what with the Madoff $ loss and Man U).

I say that Tampa Bay buys the Bucs, like Green Bay owns the Packers. Let everyone buy a piece, that way we all own it. We can vote, like stockholders, on the GM and Coach, and get this franchise moving again. To tell you the truth I dont think we could do any worse. What do you say Joe, you on board?

How unfair of Joe to treat Dan this way, while treating that the afternoon clown Douche-mig’s word as law. What Sileo did, was research SEC filings around the Bernie Madoff case to prove his point.

I think DeBartolo could lead a nice investment group, and pull this off. mybe bring Derrick Brooks in as a paartner on this also, just like their school?

Hey Louie Jeff is just one of those MSNBC parrots who posts made up stuff.

While Debartalo has the prior experience there are 2 questions to ask:

1. Does Debartalo WANT to return to the NFL and most importantly
2. Does Debartalo have the financing in place to make a bid?

We want Rush Limbaugh to own the Bucs. In fact I’ll bet Rush runs out and hires Donavan McNabb as the new QB – until Freeman is ready of course.

I wouldn’t mind Debartalo as the owner. I don’t think he will be cheap with the team. He always spent a lot of money with the 49ers. But would the NFL let him back in? That would be the question.

No chance on Steinbrenner because he owns a team in a different sport. They don’t allow that. Even if they did relax it, they would stop Steinbrenner because his team is not in this market. With what Steinbrenner has, that would probably mean that we would have deal with the son. No thanks.

This story is all over the intertubes now so there must be some truth to the rumor.

Real mature statement Jeff. Have you ever listened to Rush or are you just parroting all the crap you hear?
