Good Lord, Penn. Give up. I mean I can read and even memorize a book on how to do the Tango, doesn't mean I can dance it a lick! Face it, again you made a poor sports decision. But, I remember you made a comment a while back about being an old dog and not being able to be taught new tricks. Sorry for your luck.

And don't you think that running around all hours, skipping curfews, walking out on inteviews, etc. and acting like "donkeys" in general might have had something to do with their performance on the field? They came out flat and unprepared.

Tsk, Tsk! Oh right, Catt! It's the third quarter, you're down 34 to 3 and it's maybe, just maybe, getting down to "desperation time". On one side, there's the #1 rated defense, and on the other side the #1 rated offense; I think J. Gruden was smart enough to take advantage of his time coaching the Raiders, and basically make sure whatever comeback the Raiders tried, he would have had some insight as to their tendencies, and adjust to them. Do you think P. O'Brien made the statement out of the blue??
But really, it comes down to this: you can't say enough about Tampa Bay's defense.
What have we got now; another dynasty in the making? Watch and see if the sportscasters don't start hawking that theory!
BTW, can you do the Tango?

Penn, I don't doubt that Chucky had an advantage as far as knowing the players, how they react to situations, etc. I realize I'm a GIRL and I could have limited football knowlege but don't the teams play the same game? Same defenseive plays and offensive plays but with different twists? Sure, the Bucs' defense may have had some insight into what they thought the Raiders were going to throw at them, BUT they still had to execute the plays. And, really, was Callahan using Chucky's old playbooks? He had to have some original plays in there, didn't he?

As for O'Brien, a statement out of the blue? No, I'm sure not. Sportcasters NEVER make statements out of the blue.

They had John Lynch "mic'ed up" for the game and in the 2nd quarter they showed him talking to one of the coaches and he said "Hey coach, every play they have run so far we did in practice."

Preparation, skill and desire are what Tampa had on their side and boy did it show.

Yes, Brad was a skin but got dinged up and Snyder got rid of him.

Thanks Ken for bringing that tidbit about John Lynch to the front. All I'm saying Catt is Tampa Bays coaching staff had knowledge of which schemes Oakland would probably use when they tried to mount a comeback in the second half.
As the Tampa Bay player said, "Every play they've run so far, we did in practice!" By no means was it the primary reason Oakland got beat; Tampa Bays' defense was more than up for the task and Oakland clearly wasn't.
Ken is right when he said Tampa had preparation, skill and desire on their side; I wonder what happened to Oakland?
Catt, you're probably right about Oakland players being out all night, skipping curfews and walking out on interviews and etc. On the eve of as big a game the Super Bowl is, that isn't too smart, not if you want to take that trophy home.
Bottom line: the better team won!

My dearest Cattitude, moi? I would "bait" an adorable friend like you over an ex-Redskin player? Perish the thought!

How could Dan Snyder help himself, he recieved bad advice. BTW,
somebody did mention the fact that there were a number of ex-skins playing for for either Oakland or Tampa Bay last night.

PS: I could mention the fact that Jeremy Shockey of the Giants won the Rookie of the Year Award, but I realize you probably don't want to hear about that at this moment.
