Former Bucs Doing All Right


Yo Murphy, who was a kick returner for the Bucs in 1999, is retiring after his Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup on Tuesday. For being a marginal player in four separate leagues, Murphy has seen some action.

"It made me want to retire more after the way it ended," said Murphy, the only player to participate in a Grey Cup, NFL Europe World Bowl and Super Bowl. "There isn't any way I can go out any better."

On a related note, is there any funnier geographical name than Saskatchewan?

Calvin Magee, who is currently the offensive coordinator at West Virginia, is the 2007 Assistant Coach of the Year. Wait, do you even know who I'm talking about? He was a tight end for the Bucs for four years in the mid 80s. And you call yourself a Bucs fan.

He volunteers with the Technology Student Association at his daughter's school, and the African-American Awareness at his son's school. Magee assists in organizing football student-athletes to volunteer for a community outreach program called "Praise Him at the Park," and is responsible for the implementation and organization of the Big Brother Program at West Virginia. He also serves on the Drug Advisory Committee at WVU.

He sounds like a pretty cool guy, although I bet if you asked him in private, he'd still say Ray Perkins was a prick.

If you look in the background you can see Refrigerator Perry not even trying to catch Magee.

Okay, wait... The team name is Saskatchewan Roughriders, and you singled out Saskatchewan to talk about?

Now you've got me worried, Scott...


It was a hard one to pass up, but I had to put a little breathing space between gay jokes. There's some kind of ratio that if you go beyond it, people assume you are what you make fun of. I also didn't want to imply that I'm calling Murphy gay. Any man that goes by "Yo" is automatically straight.
