History of The Tampa Bay Buccaneers As an NFL Team When you hear the phrase ‘Tampa bay Buccaneers’, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For me it’s the sound of cannons firing, celebrating the score of a touchdown in Raymond James Stadium located in Tampa Florida. This is where my love for an NFL team blossomed into a die-hard fan. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers first joined the National Football League in 1976 in the NFC Central division, later changing to the NFC South division. The NFL today is composed of the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. Each conference consists of teams that claim a division. The AFC consists of the AFC North, AFC East, AFC South, and the AFC west. The NFC consists of the NFC North, NFC East, NFC South (the Buccaneers division), and the NFC West. So what exactly is a Buccaneer? A Buccaneer defined by dictionary.com ‘is an individual that raided Spanish colonies and ships along the American coast in the second half of the 17th century’ (Buccaneer). This influenced the naming decision, which was decided through a name-the-team contest as the “Buccaneers”, later shortened and known to the fans as the “Bucs”. For as long as I’ve been a fan I have always known them as the Bucs and rarely would I hear them referred to as the buccaneers. The Bucs have a troubling past that has slowly developed into a team that is striving for success. Taking a look back, the buccaneers were the laughing stock of the
Before I begin, here is a little brief history on the Philadelphia Eagles and who the speaker of the video really is. The Philadelphia Eagles are an NFL team based in Philadelphia, PA. The franchise was established in 1933 which is about 83 years ago. They were formally known as the Frankford Yellow Jackets until the franchise went bankrupt and was brought back under the name of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Miami Dolphins, a professional football team located in Miami, Florida, has been a part of the National Football League (NFL) since 1966. The organization is most notably known for the 1972 Miami Dolphins football team, led by Don Shula, who went undefeated a won the Super Bowl. This team was the first and, so far, only team to have a perfect season capped off with winning the championship game. From 1966 to 1970 the Miami Dolphins were perceived like they are today as a losing franchise that could not win. That was until Don Shula, helped make the Dolphins one of the best franchises in the national football league during his reign as head coach. The time period from 1970 to 1993 were the golden years of the organization 's history; during this time the Miami Dolphins won 13 AFC East Titles, 5 AFC Championships, 2 Super Bowls and in 1973 set the league record 74,961 season ticket sales. During this time period the team had star players Larry Csonka, Dan Marino, Bob Griese, and several others that helped to build and sustain the Dolphins legacy. Since 1993 the Miami Dolphins have been known for holding three fantastic super bowls in 1994, 2006, and 2009, all of which were great games that the Dolphins were not involved in. While in recent years the Miami Dolphins have gone back to the original roots of field losing teams, the organization has developed a marketing strategy to improve the financial situation of the organization and maintain fan support.

Well, Bucs fans, the first day of this year's NFL draft is in the books. The Bucs did manage to find Buffalo to trade out of the number 7 spot, which was the smart thing to do after Saquon Barkley, Bradley Chubb and Quenton Nelson were all of the board at that time, as expected.
As of right now, the Bucs have Z-E-R-O players with any ability to pass rush. Sure, Robert Ayers is good at what he does, but don't expect more than 6 sacks out of him. William Gholston is a great “run stopping” left DE but don't expect him to get to the opposing QB very often. Last year we drafted Noah Spence and he has shown flashes of his skills, but he has been injured most of the year.
Moving forward, Tampa fans, look out. Ronald Jones II and Peyton Barber are ready to go, practicing hard, and apparently, have made quite an impression on Bucs staff and fans watching the offseason workouts. Scott Smith, from Buccaneers Insider Live, touched upon the battle which isn't really
