"Future star."

“Future star.”

OK, here’s something to take your time with. It’s a breakdown of the Bucs’ offensive line from a guy who actually played offensive line, not some laptop keyboard warrior of a college student looking for a few extra bucks for beer money. [read more]

“Not Going To Sit Here And Sugarcoat It”

Donald Penn returns home and will make his 148th consecutive start at left tackle. He can't wait to deliver some payback.

Donald Penn returns home and will make his 148th consecutive start at left tackle. He can’t wait to deliver some payback.

Raiders left tackle Donald Penn was painted by the Tampa Bay Times during his Bucs days as a rubber-shirt-wearing fatso stressed out about weigh-ins and dehydrated and ineffective as a result.

It was tremendous disrespect — and a lot of hooey — directed at a very good player who never missed a start. [read more]

No one who was there that day will ever forget.

Tampa Bay was listed as a 10-point favorite to end a three-game losing streak, finish the regular season 10-6 and edge Philadelphia for the final NFC wild-card playoff spot. [read more]
