And the Bucs have no QB and a truly rookie coach. They are going to have a disastrous season and I predict Winslow spends more time on the IR than in a game.

He'd still be on the field, even if he had no arms and no legs. Just like the Black Knight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjEcj8KpuJw Yes, Winslow is gutsy.

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:37:46 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/?p=2009#comment-3721 I can't fathom that Tampa's management didn't enter into this contract without insurance to fully protect them, both figuratively and literally. Just like Gilbert & Co. are paying relative out-of-pocket peanuts to pay off Eric Snow. As gutsy as Winslow is, absent him sustaining a new major injury, I'm betting that Tampa will get the better of the deal. In the meantime, Quinn will be tossing five-yard passes to legendary superstar Robert Royal.

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:13:35 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/?p=2009#comment-3698 A second and fifth-round pick equates to being a "sucker?" The ex-Beacon Journal columnist's hero, Chaz Frye, was unloaded for a sixth-round pick, which really is no worse than getting a fifth-round pick when you get to that point in the draft. So basically, Winslow was traded for a second-rounder. If I could place a bet on it, I would bet that Winslow will still prove to be a better player in both the short run and the long run than some dicey 50th pick in the draft they got in return.
