Bucs screwed outta the HOF game

[Legend]

Dolphins vs Cowboys get the nod.
Miami has no player going into the HOF and Parcells really had no affect on that team. Meanwhile Tampa is inducting one of the best players in franchise history and probably top 5 guy at his position in NFL history.

The Bucs are like Milton from Office Space, always getting screwed out of something.

...but that's MY stapler...

[DEBUCSOWN]

..ronde might not even play this year. & if he does it may not be for us

[Larry Brackins]

Brooks and Dungy are near locks for next year, I bet that's when we play in it.

[TBTrojan]

Carter played for the Dolphins and Parcells was in their front office.
Allen played for the Cowboys and Parcells was head coach.

How exactly were we screwed?
Sapp is a Bucs legend but hated by fans of most other teams, that plus the fact that Tampa is the red headed stepchild of the NFL while the Phins & Cowboys are 2 of the more legendary teams in the league makes me think this thread is a waste of space.

I already mentioned Parcells not really having any barring on them, if you could read. Also Carter played for them for 1 season, big whoop.

Don't blame me if you have an inferiority complex when it comes to the Bucs and see a conspiracy behind every single "diss" by the league & media.
Fact is Parcells was a huge part of both team for years and both teams had a guy getting inducted play for them.
Plus where is it stated that the teams playing have to be affiliated with any of the inductees? Last I checked the Cards had nothing to do with any of last years HoFers yet they played in the game.

Or...

People would rather watch Dallas and Miami instead of Tampa.

That's my guess.

THIS is what i'd like to know

I can't recall the inductees and teams ever being connected. I think it boils down into who they think will agree to play a 5th preseason game.

[cyberdude558]

It'll probably be next year.

[Bucsfan x]

I can't believe people are butthurt over not being in the HOF game.   You'd think everyone would be happy not playing in a meaningless game where someone could get a serious injury.

NOBODY wants to watch miami play. have you see their stadium on tv?
