Comments
it's fun to watch Bucs today, 7 starters on offense are white (4 o-linemen, including rookie Trueblood, Alstott, Becht and rookie QB Bruce Gradkowski) and Saints have 4 white starters on defense (Young, and LBs Fujita, Simoneau and Shanle)
Vince Young just scored on 19 yard scramble... waiting for the lovefest to commence, new king has arrived;as a sidenote, Drew Bennett had 0 catches and got injured blocking for one of his "more athletically inclined" teammates...
Jeremy Shockey had only 1 reception for 13 yards...
