The BUCPOWER YouTube Channel has some exclusive clips ranging from closed Buc practice sessions to highlights of some of the best games in franchise history. Many more will be added over the next few months. There is no advertising or clips posted just for clickbait unlike other Buccaneer outlets. This is just Buccaneer offerings for Buccaneer fans around the world. One of the most recent was a clip of Head Coach Todd Bowles scoring on an interception return for the Washington Redskins in a 1986 exhibition game against the Bucs at the original Tampa Stadium.
BUCPOWER.COM was created in January 2002 and has had over 100 million hits since its inception. It has and always will be free to access and is the definitive source of historical information on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for fans worldwide.
This is becoming a really popular new weekly feature so this one should get you thinking about the connection between four teams and the Buccaneers. New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals. The clue is that these are the only four such teams that qualify. Answer at the end of the week as usual. Last week’s answer: They have all called Buccaneer games as TV color commentators.
CB Aqib Talib is 39 today. He was a 2008 1st round pick who played four and a half seasons with the Bucs before his off-field and locker room issues saw him traded to the Patriots. He was one person I was warned by the Bucs’ front office to stay well away from during the 2011 London trip and I soon found out why. WR Preston Parker (38) was also on that team and played 27 games as a back-up wide receiver. RB Charlie Garner (53) was signed by Jon Gruden in 2004 for his “IO or Instant Offense” ability. More like Instantly Out as after three games, his NFL career was over through injury. He did play two more games though than K Todd France (45) who made one appearance during the 2005 season.
