 Benn scores twice - Bucs win 24-17 in Houston I guess Arrelious Benn was fed up with fellow rookie receiver Mike Williams getting all the headlines. The 2nd round pick scored twice including one amazing grab down the left sideline from Rudy Carpenter as the Buccaneers defeated the Houston Texans 24-17 last night in their final pre-season game.

 Sports Simulation games Everyone dreams of emulating their sporting heroes whether it be holing a putt like Nick Faldo, hitting a home run like Carl Crawford or throwing a touchdown pass like Trent Dilfer. OK any other quarterback who actually threw one then. But of course in reality our chances of doing so are about the same as Trent's so we live and dream. Or play some kind of sports simulation game.

Raheem is the right defensive co-ordinator
One of the best decisions the Buccaneers made last season was to fire Jim Bates midway through the year and have Raheem take over coaching the defense as well as the whole team. And the numbers in the second half of the season proved it too. And everyone is on board this time round with the plan as well.

Derrick Ward released I have no problem with the decision to sign the former Giant 1,000-yard rusher last year. The Bucs had no idea if Cadillac would ever play again and they desperately needed a back. And I have no problem with the move now to release him. It is the right thing for all concerned.

Talib suspended for season openerThe Bucs will open the season against the Browns without arguably their best defender. Aqib Talib on Tuesday was suspended one game for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, stemming from a 2009 arrest. He will miss the Sept. 12 opener and cannot practice with the team leading up to the game. Click here for more on this story |

 Alvin Harper's Fickle Fingers of Fate The hopes of Tampa Bay football is riding on the tip of Josh Freeman’s right thumb. Broken in a freak play Saturday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, Freeman’s digit has become the most famous fingertip in Buccaneer history, supplanting the finger of former Buccaneer wide receiver Alvin Harper.

Freeman's cast off and he's throwingChris Myers was telling a great story during Saturday night's commentary about Raheem throwing Josh Freeman off the practice field in case he thought it worth trying to throw. Well the patience has paid off as the cast is off and Josh was throwing light passes yesterday at One Buc Place. Click here for more on this story |

 1995 - Kicking Jon Gruden's ass in Philly 
Jon Gruden was offensive co-ordinator for the Eagles for three seasons but was only on the sidelines coaching for just one game, this 21-6 Buccaneer victory to open the 1995 season. Trent Dilfer threw a pair of touchdown passes and Errict Rhett had this scoring run as the Bucs won going away with ease.
