Buccaneers Honoring Ronde Barber at Halftime of the Eagles Game

I’m sure this is just a coincidence from the Bucs:
The Buccaneers host the Philadelphia Eagles in a Monday Night Football matchup, presented by Raymond James, on Sept. 25 at 7:15 p.m. ET. Upon entry to the game, fans will receive a cross-body clutch-sized clear bag, courtesy of Raymond James. At halftime, the team will honor Buccaneers legend and Ring of Honor member Rondé Barber for his selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023. Barber became the sixth individual in franchise history to spend at least six seasons with the organization and be elected for enshrinement. Barber is the franchise’s all-time leader in both games played (241) and games started (232). His 92-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Eagles in the 2002 NFC Championship game remains one of the most iconic moments in club history.
What a bunch of dickheads in the Bucs front office. I’m sitting here more sassy than Belichick last night:

Dudes might think of the Roman Empire every week. I think of Ronde Barber still running with that football:
The #Bucs will celebrate Ronde Barber’s induction into the Hall of Fame in Week 3 when they host the Philadelphia Eagles on MNF.

Still a top-5 loss in my life. We owned the Bucs. They’d never won a playoff game when the weather was below 40 degrees. The vibes were off the charts pregame:
Brian Mitchell takes it 70 yards on the opening kickoff. It was 7-0 two plays later. The Vet almost caved in with how loud it was in there. Last game ever and it was all lining up to be an amazing story line. I can’t believe the entire city didn’t burn to the ground.
It’s going to be a beatdown on Monday night. Eagles by three touchdowns at least.
