Bucs, LB Joe agree to terms
One other transaction of note today: the Bucs have agreed to terms with LB Leon Joe, a player claimed off waivers by Tampa Bay last preseason before being released at final cuts.
Joe, 26, is a veteran of four NFL seasons and played sparingly in eight games with Buffalo in 2007.
Joe would likely compete for a backup role in the Bucs' linebacking corps. The Bucs have a solid starting group in Derrick Brooks, Barrett Ruud and Cato June.
Joe, an outside linebacker, played college ball at Maryland.

This just in: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have recently informed NFL Commisioner Roger Goodell that they plan to revolutionize the future landscape of NFL playbooks league-wide. The plan involves implementing a completely new offensive philosophy, in which the team will field an offense made up entirely of quarterbacks. This new wrinkle, combined with the masturful wizardry known as "Jon Grudens' Play Calling", will stifle and confuse even the most accomplished NFL defensive minds. Bucs Defensive Coordinator Monte Kiffen, after meeting with Gruden this afternoon, has released the following statement: "Jeez! I don't know what to say... that playbook makes me feel about as intelligent as John Madden sounds on TV!!!". Roger Goodell could not be reached for comment, however Gruden plans to release more info at a press conference to be held tomorrow at 10am Eastern.

The Man either didn't watch Bucs games this year or just doesn't know what he is watching. I'm going to give you some stats so you don't continue making a fool out of yourself. IKE HILLIARD was the leading receiver with 62 receptions. Galloway had 57. Therefore most of the passes did not in fact go to Galloway. The reason that Galloway had 1000 yards is because he averaged 17.8 yds per catch. Earnest Graham was third with 49 receptions.

Therefore, you're retarded Mike! Hilliard catches most of whats thrown to him, unlike Galloway, who was thrown to the most. Hilliard is just a better reciever, who caught 5 more of what ws sent his way idiot.
