Buccaneers Begin Camp With Their Freshly Signed Red Barron

I know I am a couple of days late with the Barron signing, but what do you expect. The Olympics started, and the Orioles and Noles have had big news lately. Let's give it up for the 12 Seminoles in London. Plenty more is coming on that story. Also trying to follow this Penn State stuff is wild. I also know the Red Barron analogy is extremely corny. Let's look at the signing though and the start of camp.

The deal is worth 14.5 million and for 4 years. It was signed last Friday and gives the final draft pick without a contract, just that. No unsigned picks. The Bucs have to be pleased with that. Barron was the crown jewel of the draft, and had to get done. The Bucs expect Barron to make a huge impact. I also expect Barron to make a big impact. I am not the biggest Bama fan or the biggest SEC fan, but Barron can play. He was a very solid pickup for Tampa.

Barron and the rest of the Bucs started training camp yesterday. Admission is free! Go check out the Bucs @ One Buccaneer Place all of you Bucs fans. Enjoy training camp! The season is almost here.

You Might Want to Put That Trophy in a Case

Nope. Whoops. Alabama's BCS title trophy shattered. A recruits dad fell on a rug next to the trophy. For some strange reason it wasn't in a display case. Incredibly, this is the third major trophy to break at an SEC school since 2008. Orson Charles who ended up going to Georgia, broke Florida's title in 2008. This past year Missouri's mascot broke the Independence Bowl trophy. The SEC needs to learn to put their trophies in a case or like the Alabama trophy they will look like this.
