You will find different checkmarks on calanders when you ask people to put down a time when the Bucs really changed things around under Tony Dungy. You'll get everything from the date he was hired, to the day we drafted Sapp and Brooks. Most people forget the steps along the way and the terrible start to 1996 that forged the season that started it all. But a little known fact about two starters who...

Again Friday afternoon, former Bucs great linebacker Derrick Brooks co-hosted “The Red Zone” with Ross Tucker on Sirius NFL radio. Brooks had some great nuggets, such as how he studied the Wildcat offense run by the Dolphins and came up with tendencies both Ronnie Brown and Rick Williams display when they are in that formation. An interesting [...]

Oh yeah, Happy Matt Bryant Day everyone. Or was that only a one year thing? Because if it isn't, Id say he is celebrating somewhere in Orlando that his with came true, and that the Bucs are unable to kick a FG. Three years ago it wasn't much of a different story: Still a poor team putting on Pewter uniforms with not much of a chance for victory. The team already scored its miracle of the year the week...

C’mon, Mark Dominik. Suck up your mistake. Call Derrick Brooks and give your team the leadership it’s craving. The bye week is coming. It’s the perfect time. Speaking Tuesday on 1010 AM, Earnest Graham talked about the Bucs’challenges after purging veteran leaders and about waiting for equivalent leadership to emerge. He even talked longingly about how Tim Crowder, who was with...

Pisa Tinoisamoa suffered cartilage damage. It is not known how bad the injury is yet, but some are calling it a significant MCL injury and he may be gone for the year . Queue up the Derrick Brooks rumor mill again. If Pisa is gone and with Hillenmeyer still not back on the field, the depth at linebacker is getting pretty thin around Bears town.

More photos » by Matt Slocum - AP Browse more photos » In the last decade, Tampa Bay has been known for one thing--defense. Their defense used to say, "Give us 17 points, we'll give you a victory." But those days are gone, and gone in an abrupt manner. Last November the Bucs were riding high at 9-3, with a share of first place in the NFC South and in possession of the tiebreaker...

It's show 55, and you knew it had to be a linebacker.We gave some thought to Willie McGinest and Derrick Brooks, but we settled on a guy who outlasted them both. And it just so happens he's back in the league, signing a deal with the Patriots this week...

If anything, Joe is anti-hype. Joe’s always been a team-kinda guy, a coaches-kinda guy. Only rarely does an individual player merit the hype that the majority of the MSM manufactures. Joe can name a handful of players worthy of hype. Ray Lewis and Tom Brady spring to mind. So too does Derrick Brooks. In other sports, Albert [...]
