FUN FACTS

Tampa Bay's winning percentage since Malcolm Glazer bought the team? A cool .540 (54-46), far surpassing the franchise's record during the Hugh Culverhouse years.

Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin was the Nebraska high school player of the year in 1958.

Jacquez Green won the NFL championship for Playstation at last year's Super Bowl, beating Cincinnati's Corey Dillon in the final. He did it by using the Washington Redskins roster -- and replacing starting QB Brad Johnson with backup Jeff George.

Simeon Rice was a high school track teammate of Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Should see an interesting foot race when the Bucs and Eagles face off in Tampa Bay's home opener on Sept. 16.

Warren Sapp's hobby is listed as swimming.

Steve White was originally drafted by the Eagles, who tried to convert him to linebacker. He returned to defensive end upon signing with the Bucs.
