I can't ditch them now.

But the rest of the league I can.

Do you know the reason Bo stiffed the bucs?

I guess this is when I really started hating the NFL and I've never looked back

Oh, of course. They screwed him out of his eligibility. In addition, there was a team BBQ/fishing trip in which the other players pulled Jackson aside and told him not to come to Tampa since the owner was a cheapskate POS who made players pay for their own sodas.

What is worse is that the 49ers offered the Bucs Roger Craig, Ronnie Lott, Freddie Solomon, and a few draft picks for the rights to Jackson - and they turned it down!

Typical Hugh Culverhouse Bucs.

EDIT: The stories I could tell about the Bucs in those days, lol. From QB Craig Erickson calling the head of the Bucs fan club in England in the middle of the night from a strip club, to first round pick Booker Reese buying a car with his signing bonus check and telling the car dealer to "give him the change", to Ray Perkins and Ron Heller getting into a fight at halftime in 1987, to fans yelling the N word at Doug Williams (which is STILL a sore mark, IMO and always unacceptable), to fans from Orlando mailing rotten watermelons to Doug Williams (which still bothers me as as Orlando native), to Williams getting low balled and leaving, to Hugh Culverhouse telling prospective coach Buddy Ryan not to bother trying to win a Lombardi Trophy because they were "too expensive", and on and on....
