Lost in the truly nauseating way the Bucs lost Sunday — one of the more popular national sports radio shows this afternoon led off with the Giants beating the Bucs and the host slapped around the Bucs for letting a rookie quarterback in his first start carve up the Bucs defense like a hungry Cajun would a roasted hog at an LSU tailgate — was that history was made.
