Indoors or outdoors?

The Bucs on Sunday visit Houston's Reliant Stadium, which, as you might know, has a retractable roof.

It remains to be seen whether the Texans will open up the roof for the game, and they'll probably not make that determination until Sunday morning. They adhere to an interesting little formula called the "50-80 Rule" to decide whether to open the roof.

If goes as follows: if the game time temperature is between 50 and 80 degrees, the roof is supposed to be opened. Sunday's forecast calls for a high of 80 degrees but includes a 30 percent chance of storms. If rain is anticipated, they'll obviously keep the roof closed.

Probably won't have much impact on the game either way, but consider this your factoid of the day.

Stephen,

we can always count on you. barber and the dogs, retractable roof, gruden versus simeon. all stories worthy of pulitzers.

Do a season recap of all your "stories".

Like:

Ronde and the dogs - ok I blew that one way out of perspective. i never even asked him about it like i said I would.

Simeon and Gruden: ok again blew that one. Simeon was washed up and gaines was worth giving the extra time.

That's a great point. Problem is I have been wrong more than right. If I had real journalistic integrity, I would do it! Let me think about it.

HEY I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD MOVE GETTING RID OF RICE TOO. QUESS GRUDEN AND COMPANY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT AFTER ALL CAUSE 2 TEAMS HAVE CUT HIM SINCE!
