    An open letter to Michael Clayton...

    Mr. Clayton,


    When you signed a 5-year $26 million dollar contract ($10.5 million guaranteed) with the Bucs in the off-season, many scoffed at new GM Mark Dominik's commitment to a player who has produced so little since his rookie season of 2004.

    Since 2004 you have struggled mightily with holding onto the ball. In fact, you had an apologist in the broadcast media * cough* Duemig *cough*, who claimed that your "confidence" was broken by Jon Gruden and you weren't getting any chances. Yet, I have never seen someone who had their "confidence" broken get so many chances to catch a ball. Gruden gave you four years to get back on track and all you did was continue to drop passes and make mistakes. All of this after you said you NEEDED more chances to make plays in the passing game and you had FOUR drops.

    After the game you were asked about your performance since signing the deal and your critics. You said the following:

It’s real serious out there. That’s why I don’t pay any attention to that stuff because the mentality is that you make up for it and you come back and catch the next one. I mean, regardless of what they say, the check is in the bank. That’s not changing. It’s about this team right now. Nothing can break that or make me feel bad or worry because somebody’s talking about me in the paper. We just have to keep our heads.”
    WOW...Michael, when Gruden was fired, you went on a rant to the Tampa Tribune about how the guy was "too hard on you," "got into your head," and was the reason for your poor play. NOW, you apparently don't let criticism get to you and you never have!?!?! HUH???

    Your comments about the "check is in the bank" shows exactly your commitment to your craft and the organization. Guess what motherfucker...it's about to get a lot worse for you in the local media and from the local fan-base. Your ass just lost anyone that supported you...and for the record...I wasn't one of them. Not only is this area one of the worst in the state for unemployment, but, you weren't popular to begin with and you don't have the talent to be such an asshole to point out how you were lucky enough to have a half-retarded person running the show in the front office. Quite frankly, the only people who supported you were Duemig, Morris and Dominik and 2 of the 3 are on their way out. Don't be shocked if your released before the end of the season.

    Do everyone a favor and break your fucking leg asshole.


    All the worst,
    Buccaneer fans

        No I didn't make it, but, whoever runs it certainly shares a lot of the same beliefs.

          thats fuckin' funny.

          I put Clayton in the same catergory as Braylon Edwards. Both only produced 1 year and has been shit since. Not to mention neither can catch a fuckin' thing.

            Clayton definitely helped the Birds on Sunday. His drops all seemed to come in the first half when the game was relatively close and could have kept the Bucs in the game. Josh Johnson did pretty well but his receivers werent exactly helping him too much.

              AB played poorly too, but, he doesn't normally drop passes. Clayton has been playing like he did yesterday since 2005. Why he even received the new contract that he did is beyond belief and he is proving that it was a horrible decision to give him the new deal. I honestly don't know how he lasted so long. This play isn't something that's new. It's just gotten worse and you add in the comments he made yesterday and you have a recipe for a fan revolt.

                  Mark Clayton is such a bum. He's garbage. Why the Bucs would commit to him is beyond me.

                    Mark Clayton is in Baltimore. Michael Clayton is in Tampa.

                            lmfao @ the uselessness of that post MRN.


                            Leaf, you should create one huge thread breaking down everything you hate about the Bucs. Most of your posts about them are usually pretty accurate/a good lead.

                              I second this statement. Leaf knows his stuff and I would like to see what he exactly feels about the Bucs.
