Alstott To Come Out of Retirement
Published: April 1st, 2008By Atop the Crow's Nest
Having only been retired for 2 months, Bucs fullback Mike Alstott decided that was too long. In a move that has surprised, but enlightened everyone, Mike Alstott has said that he will join the team once training camp begins.
“Those few months away cleared my head. Ultimately what I needed was to be back here in Tampa,” Alstott said.
He will be joined in the backfield by the Bucs newly acquired running back, and old friend, Warrick Dunn. The quarterback situation is one that is yet to be solved. The Bucs recently picked up Trent Dilfer, Tim Hasselbeck, Tim Rattay, and Chris Weinke to help fill in the quarterback position. In order to make room for the quarterbacks, the Bucs released Joey Galloway and Ronde Barber.
“Whatever position we don’t get through free agency, we’ll pick up in the draft,” said coach Jon Gruden.
The rest of the team is excited about Alstott’s return, as is every Buccaneer fan. In other news, I hope you have a happy April Fools Day.
