Players will rally around June

   Cato June's arrest for DUI early Monday should not be a distraction to the team's preparation for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

   June will have some of his attention elsewhere as the legal wheels continue turning. But linebacker Derrick Brooks said players will rally around June, one of the most popular players in the Bucs' locker room.

   ""We have to (rally around him),'' Brooks said. ""This has been a team that has always backed each other through trial and it's not going to change now. Believe me, when we really get a grip on what happened, we're going to hug him, man, and obviously learn from his mistake. He's going to learn from his mistake and we're going to move on. It's nothing we're going to harp on.''

Like Nicholas Cage said in 'Raisin' Arizona'.

"Y'all who are without sin can go ahead and cast the first stone."

No doubt too much fun is not good for anyone, especially on the road... but young people make mistakes, old one's too!

[Tim]

And the "Godfather" has spoken... give it a rest or find a deflated football in your bed...

[aaron]

There's a difference between a first time offense and multiple offenders Aaron.

[DR]

I think if the team really supports June, they all should get a DUI.

[NAVY MAN]

DR,
WHY DO U SUPPORT THE BUCS? YOU COME ON HERE EVERY DAY JUST TO SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE. I THINK YOU ARE THE ONE WITH PERSONAL PROBLEMS..DO YOU WORK OR U JUST GET EVERYDAY AND LOOK AT THE BLOGS AND GIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. I AM OVERSEAS IN THE SERVICE AND EVERYTIME I LOOK AT THIS BLOG U ARE ON HERE BASHING THE BUCS. FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO LIKE GOLF OR SOMETHING.

Aaron, don't you think it's Allen and Gruden's fault for Cato June's actions. If he was Dungy's player, he would be a good choir boy. It's their inability to find talent that is killing our franchise.

[DR]

Navy Man, go back to your personal time with the Tom Cruise "A Few Good Men" poster on your quarters ceiling. You can't take Bucs criticism, moreso Gruden and you're in the military? How did you make it through basic training? I have every right to talk about the Bucs since I live in Tampa and the Bucs are on TV every week. I'd criticize Miami but that would be too easy. Cam Cameron should be in jail. What he has done to that franchise in such a short time is amazingly terrible. It's worse than what Vick did to those dogs. Bad joke, sorry PETA.

[Tom]

Never mind DR, Navy Man. He's just there to rile you up. He's not a Bucs fan or a Gruden fan.

This will be a big game for the Bucs coming up against the Skins. I'm confident that we can come away with a victory but they are pretty tough. They gave the Boys' all they could handle last week and they're fighting for their playoff lives.

I expect Gruden to give them a heavy dose of E.G. The one guy that I'm a little worried about is Cooley. We can't put Brooks on an island with him. Their defense is loaded with solid players also. It will interesting to see their young safeties, Landry and Taylor, compare to our young safeties, Jackson and Philips. Too bad Sabby is hurt. He would be lighting it up right for us.

[DR]

It will be a good game Tom. Santana Moss seemed to gain back his self after going AWOL for most of the season. He had, perhaps, the worst game ever played by a Pro Bowl receiver when he played against the Packers. 5 dropped passes and a fumble for the winning TD, finished with 0 catches that game. Garcia will need to improve from his 50% accuracy last game. It will be a good match-up.

[Tom]

Gotta hand it to Romo and T.O. They lit up the Skins when they had to. And the Skins are pretty talented on defense, too. The Boys and Packers have definately been the leaders in the NFC. It will come down to home field advantage. In Dallas, the Cowboys will win. On the frozen tundra, the Packers will win. They are starting to get a running game also.

[DR]

It will definitely come down to home field advantage, but the Packers haven't been that good in Green Bay the past w=few years. They lost to Minnesota and Atlanta at home in the playoffs. The Cowboys are a better team than both those teams and the Pack are also better. Next Thursday will a good game to watch. I just need to find out which bar has the NFL network.
Injuries will be a big factor as well. A TO or Romo injury would be devestating to the 'Boys. Favre would be too. He is playing out of his mind right now.
