TAMPA, Fla. When I was about 5 years old and started to show an interest in football, I asked my dad, Are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a real football team? Like a real one? That was when Bucco Bruce and Creamsicle jerseys weren t the cherished heirlooms and retro fads they are today. They were, instead, a painful reminder of an embarrassingly awful Tampa Bay football team.
Sure, there were a few very good years in the late 1990s leading up to the Super Bowl XXXVII victory following the 2002 season. But a slew of salary-cap issues, bad drafting and age caught up to the Bucs, which culminated in the epic collapse of 2008, followed by failed rebuild after failed rebuild.

The Giants had two players selected to this year’s Pro Bowl, and at least one of their selections should come as a major surprise.
The shocker: Tight end Evan Engram was selected as one of two NFC tight ends. Cornerback James Bradberry, who led fan voting as of Monday afternoon, was also selected to the Pro Bowl roster. It is the first career selection for both players. There won’t be any actual Pro Bowl game this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
