BUCCANEER COMMENTATORS
When the Bucs take the field in New York, the game will be on ESPN as part of the iconic Monday Night Football
broadcast. Their current team is Steve Levy doing the play-by-play assisted by Louis Reddick and Brian Griese.
Griese will therefore become the sixth different former Buccaneer to call a game for national
TV. The first was former safety Beasley Reece who worked for NBC and called the 1991
season finale as well as a 1996 game. The success of the Super Bowl team led to the likes of
Ronde Barber, John Lynch and Anthony McFarland all working Buccaneer games.
The best story regarding Buc commentators is QB Jason Garrett who called the 2004 game
in New Orleans. Chris Simms got hurt and hence Garrett was signed to the roster for the
following two weeks. He then returned to commentary and then coaching where he became
“The Clapper” in Dallas.

It always worked - whenever the Bucs were
struggling, bring the Vikings to Raymond
James Stadium. This was the Buc offense at
its best with four Shaun King touchdowns and
a 31-13 half-time lead. "It's been so long since
we had a win, it just cures so many things"
John Lynch said. It also ended the Vikings'
hope of a perfect season once again, their 15-
1 mark in 1998 only being blemished by a loss
to the Bucs in Tampa.
BUCCANEER BIRTHDAYS
There are just two members of the all-time
roster with birhdays on October 29th, one of
whom you were probably not aware was a
member of the Buccaneers.
CB Torrie Cox (40) was a 6th round pick in
2003 who played six seasons with the Bucs
primarily on special teams but also saw action
as a nickel back and made four starts.
K Greg Davis (55) was a 9th round pick in
1987 who never kicked for the Bucs but was
briefly on the roster. He then went on to score
over 1,000 points in the NFL for the Cardinals
and other teams.
ROLLIN’ ROLLIN’ ROLLIN’
KEEP THOSE DOGGIES ROLLIN’ RAWHIDE
We got both kinds of football, offense and defense. With
apologies to Bob’s Country Bunker in The Blues Brothers, no
performance there could have matched the Bucs in Las Vegas.
This was a Raider team coming off a win over the Chiefs and a
bye week and the Bucs put up 45 points and won going away.
The scary thing is there is more to come from this team. The
offensive line is playing some awesome football right now with Ali
Marpet and Alex Cappa providing some of the best guard play
seen in years. The pass rush works in harmony with the
secondary leaving the dynamic duo of David and White to just
destroy ball carriers at will. I’m off to celebrate with an orange
whip - anyone else want one?
