“Based on his comments, I’d guess that Burritto got blasted by the “stupid cannon”.

Dom’s a dum-dum and as such should keep his mouth shut about things he does not understand. He was good at being the “Turk” for the BUCS.
He is genius for having parlayed that into the GM job, but it was not his genius so much as the Glazers bozoness that it occurred.

what stupid comments Florio – you don’t have access to their books and as a poster above pointed our your math is awful – stop acting like you know more about their finances then they do just because you have a website.

I think I might have figured this one out.
I’m guessing that the NFL started counting ridiculous theatrics against the salary cap, so the stupid cannon that the Bucs fire when they score a touchdown counts against the cap.
Based on realistic expectations, I’d guess that each cannon blast costs $1 million and the Bucs have correctly estimated how many they’ll need for 2009-2010.

Tampa needs to start stockpiling accountants instead of quarterbacks.

Did you ever bother to check your numbers on the Bucs cap figures?
It’s yours that seem out of whack with what has gone on.
$10 million on Antonio Bryant
$3 million for Crowell
$3.75 million for McCown
$2 million for Leftwich
$2 million for Nugent
$3 million for Penn
$3 million for Ward (at least)
$5 million for Clayton (at least)
over $5million on Winslow
Then you have guys like Phillips, Campbell, Stroughter, Stevens, Arrington, Sims, Moore, Lee, Biggers, Koutouvides, Fulton, Clark, Allen and others Some of which will have mutli million dollar contracts).
Then there is the cap hit they took for the 5 guys over 30.
$60 million is easily covered by quantity and some quality (Bryant, Ward, Winslow)

As a Bucs fan and season ticket holder, I just can’t get myself to care about stories like this.
We’re having discussions about accounting, now? What’s next, we’re delve into how many plastic cups the concession stands are using? If Suzy in the ticket office is using too much sick time?

He’s gotta be including the salary cap hits for cutting Brooks, Dunn, June, Hilliard and Galloway to even get close to that figure. Which is, in fact, BS

I read the headline and was like “On who?”
Based on this genius front office we should be dawning the creamsickle(Probably spelled that word wrong) uniforms.
