Rick Stroud Is A Hack!

For the record, this is not our photo, we "borrowed" it from thecaptainsdeck.net

Rick Stroud, Bucs writer for the St. Pete Times, is a hack.  More on that in a moment.

We unofficially (accidentally) launched this site Friday and the response so far has been overwhelming.  And we'd like to thank the following folks for being gracious enough to let their followers know we're out here.

Justin Pawlowski - host of "The Blitz with Justin Pawlowski" which airs from 12-3 pm each Saturday on AM 620 WDAE.  Click here to visit his site.

Scott Reynolds - of Pewter Report, which offers the most complete Bucs coverage in print.  Click here to subscribe, it's only $10 for a year (we don't make any money on this, it's just a great publication at a great price).

And the following sites which gave us mentions:

1. Buccaneers.com
2. PewterReport.com
3. WhatTheBuc.net
4. BucsChat.com
5. BucEm.com
6. and more!

There is lots of great content about the Bucs on all of these sites and we would encourage you to visit these sites often.

Now, on to Rick Stroud.

We don't claim to have a monopoly on the "Clayton Hatin'" business, but we were the first to use the term "Coach Morris Challenge" in which he dared someone to write an article on why Michael Clayton was on this team.

In our first post on this site we "Officially" accepted his challenge.

Today in the St. Pete Times we see Rick Stroud has written a piece called "Good To The Last Drop" in which he says "You may have heard about Raheem Morris' challenge" (for the record, Raheem said "Dare", we called it a "Challenge").

We became immediately excited, thinking we were about to see our fledgling site written about in the St. Pete Times.  We fully expected to be putting him into the above list with Justin Pawlowski and Scott Reynolds.

But then this:

He goes on to say "After the past three weeks there will be no shortage of takers".

Actually Rick, there has been 1 taker so far, 80sucks.com.

Well, we know that Rick Stroud knows about this site, we know that he got this idea from reading our site, and we know that he failed to give credit when he could easily have done so.

Bottom line, Rick Stroud is a HACK. 

Hey readers, does anyone know how to copyright the term Clayton Hatin', we don't want Rick Stroud to rip that off too.

P.S. Rick, we will gladly issue a retraction if you give us the credit we deserve.
