Aside from politics, my other great love is football. I am a 'die-hard, been around since the Orange Yucks' Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I grew up near the 'Old Sombrero' and remember when the Bucs literally had to give away game tickets (and still didn't fill the stands). I remember that rainy day in January when the Bucs fired the best coach they'd ever had (Tony Dungy) and I was ecstatic like many other fans the next year when the Bucs won Super Bowl XXXVII (Dungy's team - even though he'd left for Indy).
And I sat by and watched my team completely fall apart over the course of the last 4 games. A month ago, we were 9-3 - with a shot at homefield advantage and a first-round bye, only to finish the season with a four game losing streak, losing the last game to the freaking RAIDERS - to sum it up - 'a$$ out'. Luckily the Cowboys suffered a massive beatdown at the hand of the Eagles - which will take some of the attention off my beloved team - but I digress.
I'm saying it now (as I've said several times over the past few years), it is time for Gruden to GO. Where is this offensive genius we supposedly got in Gruden? Did he lose him on his way to Tampa? When a team falls apart like the Bucs have at the end of the season - heads need to roll and the 'Buc' stops with Gruden.
