It's our last day at Bucs training camp. On the agenda: talent show, tent olympics, a round of "guess the rash" and hopefully a kiss from our camp crush (we're trying French-style this year).
Also? We give our first-hand analysis of the atmosphere, attitude and execution of the 2010 Buccaneers to date, and maybe a prediction or two. You can almost smell the jock-itch.
PLUS:
. Gather around the radio, boys and girls — it's official: Saturday's preseason home-opener against the Chiefs will not be televised in the Tampa Bay area. The market called your bluff, Glazer boys. It's the only way for our voices to be heard. You squeezed the value out of a perennial playoff contender and we don't like it. We love our team, we root for our team, but you haven't shown any of us it's worth taking out a second mortgage to invest in our team. We discuss the concept of blackouts, the economy, and misdirected anger. On the next Oprah Grind.

You're welcome.
Just goes to prove, everything is bigger in Texas. Including humiliating and pulverizing ass-trauma.
