“[Tampa Bay was pleased to get WR Joey Galloway back and he made several key plays against the ChiefsĀ before he strained his groin.] I am sure he is going to struggle throughout the season, ... He certainly delivered in his first game, having been out for two months.”
Jon Gruden
“He came down to Tampa, and we started playing catch, and he had the heaviest ball that I've ever played catch with, as far as sinkers, ... If you could teach everyone what you need to make a ball that heavy, then everybody would do it. That's such a valuable pitch, and he throws an absolute bowling ball.”
Jaret Wright
“I've been on teams like Ottawa and Tampa Bay, and when we played the last place team we'd think, all right, this is a good night for every guy to get a goal or whatever. Everyone looks at it that way.”
Andre Roy
“It ain't a coincidence that the players who've been in Tampa for years -- Key, [John] Lynch , [Warren] Sapp -- leave unhappy, ... Sometimes, where there's smoke, there's fire. They're unhappy for a reason. At some point you just want to play football, away from Tampa. You want to get out. That's where I'm at now.”
Keenan McCardell
“That Tampa Bay team, the way they played in the second half [37-30 since the All-Star break], they can score runs, they're a challenge. Bart didn't miss many spots, but when he did he paid for it today.”
Mike Scioscia
“I told the girls that Tampa Catholic always comes to play in the postseason no matter what we did against them in the regular season. I wanted to remind them of what happened two years ago. It was the same situation.”
Casey Higgins
“I have never had a lap dance in Tampa or any other part of Florida. If I ever did have a lap dance, I don't think I would be discussing television ideas with the girl that was giving it to me.”
