I was in favor of the Hard Knocks thing as well, but honoestly I’m not upset over the Bucs turning it down…I can see both sides of the issue. That’s what I always TRY to do…don’t always succeed though.

They don’t need Hard Knocks this year for “national attention”. When they accepted the national game in London, they also got 2 other national games in the deal, and possibly as many as 5 or 6.

Wait. BamBam, is that always the way these London games are worked out? If a team agrees they get two national games as well?

If so I didn’t know this! Shoot, it’s worth giving up one home game for that!

Let them get their exposure on the field when playing hard and winning counts, not showboating and being a ham.

oh Pessimist, what a conspiracy theorist you are. I couldn’t be happier that, assuming there is an offseason, the Bucs will be preparing for the season with that much less of a distraction. But you believe they are hiding something…

funny really

Hey PESSIMIST,

Its simple TEAM DEVELOPMENT > EXPOSURE. Great decision by the Bucs.

How is it that you are a “die-hard” Bucs fan, yet you seem to complain about everything we do?

McSiD: “Still waiting on my season ticket refund. Hopefully it will be only for one game and not a season.”

Have not recieved mine either…. Maybe they’ll discount it off of next years games, you know… when we’ll actually get back to football.

McSID:

Joe do you have any idea how much the owners get paid for the game over the pond?

Joe is not sure but it clearly must be worth it in the eyes of Team Glazer.

They made the right call. As much as we would all like to see them on them on Hard Knocks you are a moron if you take the youngest coach and the youngest QB in the NFL and think they should be under the microscope of the cameras. Give us a couple of years to jell. p.s. Joe do you have any idea how much the owners get paid for the game over the pond?
