BUCPOWER.COM was created in January 2002 and has had over 100 million hits since its inception. It has and always will
be free to access and is the definitive source of historical information on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for fans worldwide.
There are two former Buccaneers with birthdays on
August 15th, both of whom joined the franchise as 1996
draft picks.
DE Marcus Jones (52) was a 1st round pick who spent
six seasons with the Bucs. He had only one sack in
three seasons and was seen as a bust but then jumped
to seven in 1999 and a career-high 13 the following
year. It did not last and he was released after being
injured in the 2002 pre-season.
DT Jason Maniecki (53) was a 5th round selection who
spent parts of three seasons as a back-up on the
defensive line. He was born in Rabka in Poland and
was particularly proud of his national heritage. His one
and only NFL sack came in the Week 10 win in Atlanta
in 1997 and has been a big supporter of BUCPOWER.
The definitive roster from the 50th season of Tampa Bay Buccaneers' football. Starters,
back-ups and the reasons behind each selection. None of the popularity contest picks from
the Bucs’ own selection poll. This is the real deal from someone who was watched every
Buc game either live or on film.

Buccaneers 20 Titans 27 - 15 August 2009 - Josh Johnson sighting!
16 years ago and Josh Johnson is still playing in the NFL. Here he is scoring on 43-yard
run in Raheem Morris’ first game as head coach. It did not end that well on the
scoreboard but there was a Josh Freeman sighting and the first Buc touchdown came
from Byron Leftwich. All these players and what they went on to in their careers.

There is a new Buccaneer booster club on
this side of the Atlantic. BUCCANEERS
ACROSS THE POND launched yesterday
and is the brainchild of long-time Buc fan Ian
Costain. And I am proud to be involved in it.
The existing UK club is embroiled in
controversy about finances, people being
ripped off and accusations of racism from its
leadership.
This new club is Buccaneer fandom being
done properly for real Tampa Bay fans.
