Talk about offensive futility - Trent was getting booed throughout every game and the conservative Buc offense was just getting downright ridiculous under Mike Shula. But the defense kept getting it done and the Bucs won. "I'd like to have a 38-0 blowout so I don't have to run around at the end of the game. But I'll take it," Warren Sapp said. "I'd rather be talking about an ugly win than an ugly loss."
