The erections were standing tall at the offices of the Tampa Tribune Sunday afternoon. I’m sure that guys like Joe Henderson and Roy Cummings were, at one point, Buccaneers fans. But they hate Jon Gruden more than they like the Bucs, so anything that puts Gruden in an uncomfortable spot is better than Cialis to them. And a season-dumping loss to Oakland was just the thing to get their juices flowing.

I can't even really figure out how to start this post, so I guess I'll start it with an image summarizing the performance:

The Broncos have fired Mike Shanahan.

The Bucs may have already begun the process of shaking up Jon Gruden's coaching staff.

It appears that the first casualties could be assistant head coach Larry Coyer and tight ends coach Bob Casullo.

Coach Jon Gruden stepped to the podium Monday morning for the postmortem of his 2008 season. “I feel worse today than I did yesterday,” he said. Not as bad, however, as a trio of colleagues — Detroit’s Rod Marinelli, Cleveland’s Romeo Crennel and the New York Jets’ Eric Mangini — who were fired Monday. Around Tampa Bay, fans of the Buccaneers were in ugly-mob form in the wake of Sunday’s 31-24 home loss to the awful Oakland Raiders, the team’s fourth straight defeat and the death-blow to playoff hopes that started the month as a virtual certainty.
