Hey, guess what I forgot to do! Oh well, it's not like there's a lot to preview this afternoon. The Bucs will play mostly third-stringers and ball boys and Carolina will start Matt Moore at quarterback and the whole thing will be as sloppy and uncoordinated as first-time sex, except this will last about 90 times longer. After a season where the big free-agent acquisition for the Panthers was David Carr, I'm pretty sure they'll just be happy when they can stop pretending that they even have pride left to play for. I just saw where the goals for the Panthers should be to "finish strong and be professional".
The only mildly interesting point here is that Vinny Testaverde will retire after today, adding a whole "full circle" aspect to the game, but not the fun kind. Hey, look! Chad Lucas just caught a 51 yard pass. Did you know he was on the team? Happy New Year's everyone. I'll see you in a couple days when it starts getting interesting.

I know the Panthers and Niners games were meaningless, but going into a playoff gsame having lost 3 of 4 is nowhere the Bucs want to be. I can easily see the Bucs coming out flat and getting their butts kicked against the peaking Giants. Ah well...I'm traveling to Tampa for the game, so I hope i'm wrong.

I hope you are, too. But it doesn't look good. I'll have more to say about it in my next entry.

My readers deserve nothing less than my undivided attention regardless of what holiday it may be.
