THIS JUST IN: Hades HAS BEEN HIT BY A BLIZZARD!

BREAKING NEWS: The schools are closed, the Lake of fire is now buzzing with ice skaters, and the ski slopes are full of people skiing and sledding due to the fact that "Hell has indeed frozen over". Why you ask?... Because against all odds and with a rookie quarterback the 0-7 Buccaneers BEAT the Green Bay Packers 38-28 to earn their first victory of the season.

The game started out just like every other Buc's game this season with Aaron Rogers hitting WR James Jones on a 74 yd touchdown strike completely torching CB Elbert Mack just three minutes into the game. At this point you're thinking "Here we go again" this is going to be ugly, but then after the Bucs go three and out and on the Packers second possession something happens...

The Packers tried to throw across the middle of the field and "Burnt Toast"RRrr Elbert Mack intercepted an Aaron Rogers pass returning it to the Green Bay 6 yd line setting up the Bucs first TD of the day (a 6 yd TD to Derrick Ward) and rookie QB josh Freeman's first ever touchdown pass in the NFL. The Packers regained the lead on their next series to go up 14-7 on a 2yd run by Ryan Grant with 2:39 left in the first Quarter and held the lead until something amazing happens...

At 11:59 of the second quarter Tampa Bay linebacker Geno Hayes storms in to block a Jeremy Kapinos punt and Ronde Barber "scoops and scores" returning the blocked punt 31yds for his 14th career touchdown. The Buccaneers first victory was the result of a complete team effort meaning...

1. Offense



2. Defense



3. Special teams

Buccaneer QB Josh Freeman was 14/31 for 205 yds 3Td/1 int and his three touchdowns in his first game is the best by a rookie QB since 1976.

Packers QB Aaron rogers entered the game vs. Tampa bay with the leagues best passer rating threw 3 interceptions and was sacked six times.His passer rating for the game was 57.6...Ouch!

This was only one win for the Buccaneers, but it was a starting point to start building on for the future. With the right players and better talent around Josh Freeman I think the Bucs will be ok, but its going to take some time!...Be Patient.

Online Gaming...At What PRICE?

I am just a bit bent on this new practice of Gaming companies charging a fee to play online! I guess that Xbox has charged various fees for their Xbox live feature which allows users to play online for as long as I can remember, so this is not my biggest problem because I'm also new to Xbox.

My problem is with the PlayStation network or (PSN) who are already "Cleaning Up" making Millions with all of the add on content to many different games which has to be purchased in the PlayStation store.This issue alone is fine I guess to a certain degree, but to expect users who purchase games to pay extra to play online where in the past the online features of those games were free is ABSURD!

Those of us who play Madden found out in this years version that in order to get the free code to play the "New" and "Highly Pimped" online franchise mode you had to buy the game new at around $65 ,so if you rented Madden 10 or bought it used you are out of luck....

But WAIT!!

Your in LUCK!...or they are. You can also purchase the online franchise feature in the PlayStation store for $10, so couple that with the add on content that pops up almost every day and Sony/ PlayStation is "Triple Dipping" and making millions. With the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 just days away (11/10/09) I have heard rumors of having to pay to play online for this game also, but I must say that when I spoke with one Game Stop employee about this he said that he had not heard anything about this...so I hope it's not true!

We will have to keep our eyes on this and see if this pattern continues.
