Mike Alstott is Bucs' Mr. Popularity

ST. PETERSBURG

In the first three minutes after he sat down at a table on the outdoor patio of a Panera Bread on Tuesday, Mike Alstott was greeted by one of his former high school players, a fellow football coach and a broadcaster from a local radio station who once interviewed him. • Alstott jumped to his feet, extended a hand, looked each in the eye and thanked him for stopping to say hello. • Who wouldn't want to be like Mike? • There have been more accomplished players for the Bucs. Three of them — Lee Roy Selmon, Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks — are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
