I've kind of gotten over my obsession with examining everything all the hack writers of the world are writing about the Buccaneers and looking for problems. It distracts me from my main goal of creating the ultimate weapon by mating a tiger shark to a cobra ("Operation: Shobra"). But every now and then I read something that is just so spectacularly terrible that it will grate a layer off of my soul if I don't point it out.

Jason Lloyd of the Journal Register News Service wrote his article to extol how great Jim Tressel is, so he thought it would be clever to wrangle a couple other coaches who had been mentioned for the Ohio State job into the story to back-up his point.

[Jon] Gruden moved on to Tampa Bay and won a Super Bowl, but the Buccaneers have won just five games over the last two years.

This year is just two games old! You can't imply two seasons worth of failures when one of those seasons has barely begun. Get your head out of your ass, sir. If you keep writing blatantly slanted statements like that, the only place you'll be able to get a job is Tampa.

And, no, Simpsons graphics are never tired or cliche. That's ridiculous.
