He is the anti D. Sanders, and maybe that is the problem Sanders has with him. Sanders never tackled, was never really part of a Team, just all about himself, jumping on good teams at their peak for a ring. Madden used to call them guests, and that is Sanders, a guest on a team, and guest should be stamped on his statues forehead in the HOF.

Seriously, there were a lot of doubters about him transitioning to safety. I don’t think there’s any doubt he is a Hall of Famer anymore.

They talked about the Vikes the whole time.

Anyway, who else in Tampa getting a little pissed about the lack of respect? I hope the players are. Playing angry is good.

Ronde Barber is a demi-god. He is a genuis. It is clear that his mind and heart are what seperate him from men who are physically superior to him.

Every game this season he has made big plays. Yes a few missed tackles and blown coverages BUT you will never see him ‘loaf’ or halfass it. NEVER!

I am 29. I first started watching the Bucs for real in 1996, Dungys first year. I followed that original ‘band of brothers’ so closely.

It is an honor to still have Ronde, the last member of that elite core of players on the field.

In fact, I am considering naming my first son Ronde in honor of such a valiant warrior and overachieving Underdogg.

Long Live Ronde Barber. King of Tampa Bay.

I like your posts most of the time Hawaiian, but seriously, is it really that cut-&-dry? I mean, isn’t it possible for some of us to be fans while disagreeing with you?

the game seems too easy for him sometimes. he makes mistakes at times, but his plus plays are some kinda awesome. like watchin jordan in his heyday with the bulls, sometimes he couldn’t miss, it seemed.
