Change of plans
A nasty afternoon thunderstorm has forced the Bucs inside.
They have moved practice to the Omni Hotel at nearby Champions Gate, where the Bucs have taken over a ballroom.
That's bad news for quarterback Chris Simms, who was scheduled to take the majority of the reps in the afternoon while Jeff Garcia sat out the session. But now, all the Bucs can do is a walkthrough, which isn't nearly as productive as the full-speed practice they originally planned.
Bucs Beat is the online destination for Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans interested in the latest news about the team. St. Petersburg Times reporters Rick Stroud, Stephen Holder and Joe Smith will provide regular updates. Readers can comment on players, coaches, the front office - all of it.
some guy on Sirius NFL Radio speculated that Simms could be traded to ATL, since McKay drafted him. what say you?

You may joke but Simms doesn,t seem to have a bright future in Tampa. And with the mess in Atl. Rich Mckay may be looking in his direction. Their QB situation is a mess.GO BUCS!

Maybe Shelton or Stroud should write a story about how the thunderstorms are Gruden and Allen's fault and we never had storms when McKay was GM
