This weekend the former Bucs and Colts head coach Tony Dungy gets inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It was a frigidly cold evening. By Tampa standards, it was downright arctic. We were in the endzone section. I was 24 and I barely remembered the last time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made the playoffs. See, the Bucs hadn't been to the playoffs since I was 9 years old.
Year after year I told my friends - THIS ONE - This one is the year that the Bucs do it. They laughed and mocked. Bucco Bruce was called all sorts of names that couldn't be printed in today's PC society.
