Just wanted to say thanks for spending the time and giving good info.

 

[whity]

GL to you teamrichie....

OPINIONS ARE WELCOMED

I will have my pick later on today....

 

[whity]

WHY WHY ----

IS everyone saying the bucs are not focused and with too much adversity..... I think the opposite.. this team will be more focused without someone yelling at them to get him the ball..... Johnson was the distraction and now he is gone..... this is the spark this team needed to lift their spirits.....I know that sounds crazy but kicking K. Johnson off the team was the best move Gruden has made all year...

Mr. Whity,
You know who I'm going with tonight buddy. Puttin it all on 'em tonight. You're right kickin Keyshawn off the team was the best thing for 'em

 

[bloatedliver]

just a reminder that this team won a Super Bowl with Keyshawn last year. Johnson may have been a cancer, and in the long run the respect Gruden earns may pay off, but this is not a better football team without Keyshawn Johnson. If anything suspending may send up a white flag to his team. Just a quick question, Why do you think Gruden waited until the Bucs were 4-6 and basically eliminated from play off contention before he suspended Johnson?
