Eric LeGrand is a Buc

Awfully dusty in my office this morning...

TAMPA, Fla. -- In a symbolic gesture, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand, whose playing career was ended by a spinal cord injury, on Wednesday morning.

LeGrand played for Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano at Rutgers. In a game Oct. 16, 2010, against Army, LeGrand suffered fractures of two vertebrae and a spinal cord injury.

LeGrand initially was told he would be a quadriplegic and would have to remain on a ventilator.

Five weeks later, LeGrand began breathing on his own. Later, he became able to stand upright with the aid of a metal frame.

LeGrand resumed his studies in spring 2011. He led the Scarlet Knights onto the field for an Oct. 29, 2011, game and has remained close with Schiano.

"Leading up to the draft, I couldn't help but think that this should've been Eric's draft class," Schiano said. "This small gesture is the least we could do to recognize his character, spirit and perseverance. The way Eric lives his life epitomizes what we are looking for in Buccaneer Men."

The Buccaneers also decided to make the signing May 2, to represent LeGrand's college number (52).

He put up a photo of a Tampa Bay helmet on his Twitter page, tweeting, "We ready!!!"

LeGrand is planning to graduate this fall with a degree in labor studies.

Speaking of...I listened to about 3 minutes of Sports Call out of Auburn yesterday and some douchebag called and was going on and fucking on...how we were going to find out that Chizik is closer to a 5-8 coach than a championship coach....that we are going to find out that kiehl frazier can't throw the ball.....that we are going to find out that we dont have any real talent...and that we will find out that Chizik will never be Coach Nick Saban....


I know I wasn't talking about bammer this time last year. I wasn't even thinking about them, much less calling in one of their stations to talk shit. No matter what they win or don't win.....they are fucking ate up.

Makes the story TW posted look even better. Because of douchebags like THEM.

FWIW - sportscall rarely has those type of callers which is why I try to listen to it. Bill Cameron will usually make them shit their yaps if they get out of line.

He did tell him that of course, Gene Chizik would never be Nick Saban, only Nick Saban could ever be Nick Saban.

One thing we've all found out, bammers are fucking douche nozzles that run their idiot cock holsters non-stop, and spew nothing but dumbassery.

And when they gather at that dump in Tuscaloosa: douche-pocalypse.

A slight correction. The douche-pocalypse was a one day event and occurred on April 27, 2011. Gameday and other gatherings are more commonly referred to as "douche-apaloozas".
