Bruce Gradkowski was a sixth-round pick of the Bucs in 2006 and started 11 games as a rookie, winning three. Coach Jon Gruden stuck with Gradkowski during a 4-12 season, but he was mostly ineffective and was benched for Tim Rattay for the final two games.

With the signing of horrible Bills suckman J.P. Losman, it looks like the United Football league is really steaming toward, well, complete oblivion. But for you TRUE football geeks, here is the list of guys "drafted" by the UFL in June (I am not sure you can call a secretive behind-closed-doors deal where 4 guys sit around a table and pick any sort of professional "draft" (more...
The player at right might be starting at wideout for da Bears this season. He's all yours, Chicago; enjoy! Donald Driver had harsh words-- harsh words indeed! --for the state of the passing game in the rest of the NFC North earlier this week. To wit : "I think Chicago did a great job, and Lovie Smith went out there and got Jay Cutler to lead this team, but one thing they don't have is they don't...

After reading ProfessorBigelow's post on the Tim Rattay's fake twitter account, I decided to look up Rattay on YouTube. And what do I find? A tribute video to Rattay's Hall of Fame career. Fooch's Note: Giving the crushing discovery about Fake Twitter Rattay, this is definitely front page material. It brings a tear to your eye!
Well, I consider it a lesson learned. This is what I get for treating Twitter like the CNN news feed. I was perusing some of my favorite Twitter accounts (including 49erLou's ) when I decided to check back in on Tim Rattay's , see if he had any UFL updates. Much to my surprise, no UFL news. Instead, I was greeted with this, in two separate tweets: I'm not the real Tim Rattay . I'm sorry to those who...
This United Football League has been very secretive about their upcoming debut in the Fall of 2009 so far, but it looks like they are ready to start divulging some information. It appears there will be four teams to start the 2009 season, with another two to join in 2010. The teams will be located in Las Vegas (coached by Jim Fassel), New York (Ted Cotrell), Orlando (Jim Haslett), and San Francisco...
ProfessorBigelow posted yesterday about Tim Rattay tweeting that he would be playing in the newly formed UFL. The UFL held their draft last night and we now have some preliminary rosters for the four teams. I don't see Rattay on the list, so I'm guessing he'll be one of the guys coming into whatever training camp they have to fill out the roster. In the meantime, I thought you'd like to see the rosters,...
Ok, enough about rosters, the next season, free agents, etc. In fact, enough about the NFL COMPLETELY! I'M SICK OF IT! Ok not really, but I found this story and it is WAY too good to pass up. I hate beginning sentances like this but... Thanks to Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com for finding this (grrrrrrrr); According to our "beloved" alumni Tim Rattay's Twitter page , Tim will be joining...
by Will Brinson Filed under: Bills , NFL Media Watch , NFL Free Agency , UFL If there are two phrases/names/things that are relevant to all things important in the world's culture right now, it's pretty obviously: " J.P. Losman " and "United Football League." No, no. Seriously. That's because today, Losman transplanted Tim Rattay as the most relevant non-ex-felon to potential hop...
We're in the process of hammering out our 2009 NBA Mock Draft , we've already completed our 2009 NFL Mock Draft , and now, since we just heard that they are having one (sort of), we're ready to conduct our 2009 UFL Mock Draft. For those of you unfamiliar to the UFL, it's the inaguaral football league starting up in the fall, not so much to compete with the NFL as it is to supplement it similar to a...
So before we all freak out about it, can someone explain to me how Patrick Ramsey's role here is any different than that of Tim Rattay, Ingle martin, Chris Simms or even Billy Volek back in the day? Must be nice to be Chris Johnson, who managed to lose weight last year by eating fast food . He's swearing to avoid those empty calories this year so he can keep his playing weight up around 200 lbs. throughout...
