The Bucs were thought to be the favorites in the Brett Favre sweepstakes. In fact, a group of their coaches went to a watering hole Wednesday night near the team's training facility at Disney World, thinking they were going to land Favre - until they saw the TV news flash around 1 a.m. that he was headed to the Jets.

After that news flash they ordered more shots to drown their misery of not feilding 11 Qb's on the feild. There goes that offensive philosophy. I hear Jeff George is avaiable and so is Testaverde.

Since when do people need a reason to drink?

50,
depends on what you are drinking......

Glad the Bucs did not get him.....Gruden anf Bret would not get along.
2 more wins for Carolina:)

Well they can get Chad Pennington.

11 QB's? Hmmmm...would those plays look like the old run and shoot or just a multi part flea flicker?

All kidding aside, I wonder why Gruden is collecting all these QBs. He doesn't seem to be Einstein but he is a very smart offensive mind and should know that you have only so many chips. Over staffing one job is crazy. Of course, watching the Brady, Roethlisberger and Mannings may have warped his brain....interesting.

Ok I meant, watching the last few SB's. And lets not forget Grossman in "The One"'s area of Chicago.

they should celebrate ... that they didn't get him ... :o

August 8, 2008  08:37 AM ET

Hard to believe that dangling Simms out there did not close the deal. Jeesh, what more did they want?

August 8, 2008  08:38 AM ET

I can't wait to celebrate the first "No Favre story" on fannation! I just know that day is coming

August 8, 2008  08:48 AM ET

The whole reason I wanted him to go to the Bucs --- training camp at Disney!

August 8, 2008  08:48 AM ET

vaughn9 - Drew Bledsoe is out there too, and don't forget Chad Pennington.

Got that right...............Bunnyears finishes third this year. For anyone that didnt know, Charlotte hates the Bucs.

garcia summed up gruden nicely, "he likes to date qbs, he doesn't like to marry one."

August 8, 2008  09:23 AM ET

Lots of LUCK Mr. Happy Feet! I mean Jeff Garcia, you'll need it.

August 8, 2008  09:55 AM ET

Oh, by the way, no one celebrated more than Garcia...lol

I hope I live that long. :-)

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than John Grubworm. Unless, Chuckie can pull miracles out of his ... hat ... this year, he's going to be unemployed. My money's on his money's being unemployment money.
