The NFL season is getting here, ladies and gentlemen.  Buccaneers’ minicamp has wrapped up, so we are now in the final break before training camp starts.  Koetter, Winston and company have gotten their early work in, and the season is within reach.  Football is finally, well almost, here.  Pretty soon they will be firing those cannons at Raymond James, and all will be right once again.
