mark wkats wrong with you.  You really think our drafting the last few years has been poor.  I think we draft great on defense(TJackson, Sabby, Adams, Rudd, Talib) are all going to be key players for us in the future.  Our O-line because of the draft is top 10 in the league, next year top 5. Had Caddy not got injured he would have had another great year as well.  The only position we dont draft well in is QB &WR.  They only talented player we lost that I wish we didnt was Lynch.  Sapp would not have been worth the money he got(see his stats in oakland).

Farve would not have been a good thing for the bucs.  He would have had a limited playbook.  he wold end up throwing a couple of key Ints in a game.  Favre and gruden would have Butted heads.  Gruden would have benched him just like keyshawn.  I am glad we didnt get him.  We are about Ballcontril, running the ball, & Defense.  Faver is a gun slinger.  Our personel fits our style of football.  Good Rbs, Great O-line, and Great Defense.  we are not set up to be slinging the ball downfield all game taking risks. If thats the type of team you want join teh Pats or Colt bangwagon.  Go Bucs

Charles, you must also have an NFL Crystal Ball, “he wold end up throwing a couple of key Ints in a game. Favre and gruden would have Butted heads..” Really? Which game(s) was he going to throw key INT’s in? And exactly when was Gruden going to bench him? And which horse is going to win the 7th race at the track this afternoon?
Will Favre throw more INT’s then Garcia this year? Probably. He will also throw more TD’s, more yards, start more games, and win more games.
Ask your crystal ball which game Garcia gets injured in this year.  He only made it through 2 days of training camp before straining his calf, and that’s an injury that lingers. Guess I’ll have to wait and see, but you, you already have all the answers.

I will never buy the Trib again.  Ira, go get a job at the National Enquirer.  I’m sick and tired of your negative, NON-factual “reporting.”  Shut up and go home.

Nice job of reporting, Ira.  Way to check those sources and confirm your facts.

Jeez, does this put a dent in the credibility of the Tribune, not that it matters much.  When you’re as bad as the Trib, you don’t have far to follow.

Sheesh, is Ira the same guy who “successfully” had it confirmed and eteched in stone that the next Bucs coach would be Bill Parcells - twice?  And didn’t he break the story that the sale papers were a done deal that the new Bucs owner was going to be DeBartolo.

Ira, hope you like it at the Trib.  Pretty much anywhere else you would have been fired long ago.  Maybe you can find work at the “Weekly World News.”  They love fictional stories like this.  Maybe you can write about Favre’s space-alien baby.

Hey Ira, it’s OK man. I do like the optimism & enthusiasm you displayed through the Brett saga. You were wrong in the end, but so what, there’s much worse tragedies in life. One such tragedy is Martin Fennelly with his hate and intolerence. So Ira, lets go for a positive outlook on what could be a great Season of Bucanneer Football. Accentuate the positives & just sweep the negatives under the rug. We know when they occur, we watch the games, so let’s not sensationalize negativity this season. Bring on the Pats! Go Bucs!!!
