cant take shite their front office would do for real, Glazer is a POS owner i hate that he owns Man United


I might be one of the few fans that root for both Liverpool FC and the Tampa Bay Bucs. All I know is that ever since the Glazers got a controlling stake of MUFC, the Bucs have not done as well as the pre-MUFC Glazer era.

Possible Free Agents


So ducky (or anybody else who wants to answer), who off that list do you think the Bucs should try to pick up?

Byrd from Bills if they can't resign him (I know they were working on it)
PacMan
Clements
Butler from Indy
Cromartie from Phily


a lot of it really depends on what their respective teams decides to do with them

Lol the saints still beat the falcons and could have won game 2. Love all the haters coming out the wood work.. Enjoy it while you can because the saints have been here before and bounced back even greater.

Even in one of their worst years saints still out play falcons in their best year. Again the saints could have won their first four games with their HC. 2 games directly affected by high school officiating and all four games within one possession. Saints with a win Sunday would still have the best record against NFC south teams. Think about that before you all want to just discredit New Orleans in the south. Enjoy while you can. Plus the dense turned the corner late and it's known fact it takes a year in spags system to really get going.

If Brees isn't open to restructure Saints will be in a world of hurt


Bingo

His deal will definitely cripple the organization long term.

Aren't United currently at the top of the table?


Yeah, but they pay the equivalent of Cristiano Ronaldo in interest every single season, to be owned by a bunch of people who've spent none of their own money on the club, compared to a situation where they had no debt pre-glazers. They also now lease their world class training facilities back from the Glazers at a cost of over £2m per year, which is interesting considering it was finished long before they arrived.

Bucs are typically pretty cheap. PFT makes a good point, the players probably asked to do this to save money in taxes.

Though the move creates plenty of 2013 spending room for a team that has cap problems only when the wind is whipping through St. Petersburg, the adjustment allowed Jackson to pocket $559,936 that otherwise would have gone to the federal government. That’s the difference between the federal taxes Jackson will pay on the money at a 35-percent rate in 2012 and a looming 39.6-percent burden in 2013. For Nicks, $11.785 million was shifted to 2012, creating a federal tax savings of $542,110. The Bucs potentially benefit from this adjustment of payments via potential changes to the payroll tax rate in 2013. But it also creates plenty of goodwill for the players.
