Can We Just Go Back To The Creamsicle Unis...???

((HT: My Fox Tampa Bay))

It looks like someone took the clock from "24" and just combined some pewter and creamsicle trim with gunmetal gray and black...

You get the new Tampa Bay Bucs jerseys...

Really...

It might be going well. It might not...

The HQ doesn't like it one damn bit...unless you're talking about the San Francisco Demons jerseys that just got ripped off...

Black Monday: Add Schiano And Domenik In Tampa... And Schwartz In Detroit...

Not surprising anyone here either, really...

But word had been that former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano had lost the locker room a long time ago and things hadn't gotten any better with the jettisoning of Josh Freeman in order to let Mike Glennon attempt to evolve as as an NFL quarterback...

Even garnering this honor from KO...

GM Mark Domenik is also gone, according to the Bucs:

“The results over the past two years have not lived up to our standards and we believe the time has come to find a new direction. Mark has been a valued member of our organization for two decades and we respect the passion he showed for the Buccaneers during his time here. We thank Greg for his hard work and effort the past two seasons, but we feel these moves are necessary in order to achieve our goals,” said Buccaneers Co-Chairman Bryan Glazer.

1200 UPDATE: According to Adam Schefter, Jim Schwartz is also gone in Detroit...

The HQ thinks this moment from a few weeks ago didn't sit well with the front office, either, to seal his fate...

ManU IPO Falls Flat Day One

((HT: Reuters Today))

Manchester United released its IPO today on the New York Stock Exchange, but no one seemed all that impressed as shares stayed at the initial offering of $14 per share- even as people thought the stock would open anywhere from $16-$20.

That share price still values the club at $2.3 billion, and the club expects to make $110.3 million from its initial offering. It will use $101.7 million of that $110M to pay down old debt. The Glazer family, who own the club and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is selling another 8.3 million shares at another date.

The family's 2005 takeover of the Reds was valued at US$1.47 billion, much of it borrowed. United carried US$666.2M in debt as of March 31. It had no debt when it was bought by the Glazers.

After the stock offering, the Glazers will keep control of the team through Class B shares that have 10 times the voting power of the Class A stock released today.

Of course, they will...

Here's early analysis...
