Raise The Flags Commemorates 50 Years Of The Bucs

Commissioned and produced by Bucs co-owner Ed Glazer and directed by eight-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Trent Cooper, Raise The Flags is a wide-ranging portrait of the Buccaneers organization, tracing its path from humble beginnings to championship heights, both in 2002 and 2020. The series, presented by Skydance Sports and Prime Video Sports, is the most complete account of the Bucs’ history ever produced.

“Raise The Flags is a celebration of the people, the perseverance, and the passion that built this franchise over the past 50 seasons,” said Glazer in a statement. “We wanted to create an honest and comprehensive look at our journey – from the earliest challenges to the unforgettable championship moments – and to honor everyone who has shaped the Buccaneers franchise into what it is today. This series celebrates that rich history in a way that has never been done before.”

The series revisits the club’s surprising rise to prominence in 1979; the transformational sale to the Glazer family in 1995; the trade to acquire Jon Gruden that culminated in the club’s first Super Bowl championship in 2002; the drafting and development of generational talents such as John Lynch, Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber and Mike Evans; and an unforgettable run to a second title in Super Bowl LV after signing NFL legend Tom Brady.

Plus, what the current team looks like with Baker Mayfield at the starting quarterback position. Along the way, Raise The Flags uncovers the untold stories and behind-the-scenes moments that shaped the identity of the organization.

Directed by Cooper, Raise The Flags tells the entire the story of the Bucs in a way that goes beyond the typical highlight reel. Cooper, who recently appeared on the Pewter Report Podcast, shared insight into the vision behind the project, emphasizing authenticity and storytelling. His goal is to showcase not just the team’s success, but the grind, the emotion and the culture that fuel it — elements fans don’t always get to see. Pewter Report’s Scott Reynolds also makes various appearances during the 10-part documentary.

This has become a must-watch for anyone that is fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The episodes will air beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET each night throughout the week.
