The NFL Owners are meeting to discuss changes. Changes in the playoff format to allow for teams with better records in stronger divisions to host division winners in weaker divisions - so we don’t have the Giants visiting the Bucs… uh… Oh, and give the league a haircut. The Owners are weighing the length of a player’s hair among the big items on the agenda. Should a player’s hair be allowed to cover his name on the back of his jersey? A compromise? Write the player’s name on his behind - you know, like the shorts teenage girls wear that say ‘Pink’. And while we’re at it, I think that adopting the old XFL name rules would be fun. Names like ‘Killa’ and others, why even ‘Pac-Man’ could write that cross his buns.

Speaking about Pac-Man, he’s talking. Oops… I didn’t mean ‘talking’ like that. Some of his cohorts just fot real nervous. I meant that he’s talking to the press about football. Sort of. He’s said that he thinks his days as a Titan are over. Do you think? What clues did he consider? The fact that they’ve banned him from the facility? Maybe that they answer the telephone “Titan’s Pizzeria” when he calls? So where will he land? Let’s look at the stat sheet: For a player whose position is usually considered by ‘passes defensed’ and ‘interceptions’, Pac’s last two years are better considered in ‘allegations defensed’ and ‘incarcerations’. And, his numbers there are impressive. He also has an attempt at a professional wrestling career in which he was contractually forbidden to actually wrestle. I’ll bet the teams are lining up to work him out.

Word out of Tampa is that Chris Simms days are numbered. What else is new? Chris didn’t show for the QB club. That’s actually a good indicator that someone is saying something - whether it’s Chris saying “I want out” or Chucky saying “!@#$%^ Chris Simms!” I bet the latter. His fate was sealed when Brian Griese returned. Now, if he’s true to history, he’ll go on to become the next Super Bowl MVP QB that has a stint in Tampa atop his career stats.

The Bucs have been making some impressive off-season moves. Chief among them is not being in a hurry to add people at inflated prices. You have to admire a team that takes it wisely. Of course, in reading the comments on other blogs and articles here, I see that many a Buc fan has vented frustration over the off-season moves thus far. I’m cautiously optomistic - but you know that about me. There were voices squealing at the loss of Simeon Rice last year. Not me, you will recall. Where has Simeon surfaced? Figure skating, I think?

So, sound off for me. What do you think of the off-season moves so far? Where have the Buc succeeded? Where have they missed out? What’s left to address?
