Tampa Bay Buccaneers are nestled in one of the most passionately sporting states in America.
Playing out of Florida in the NFC South, they have the kind of young talent that is capable of great things, but a series of poor coaching performances in recent years have left fans frustrated and disillusioned with the franchise.
Off the field, Tampa Bay share owners with Manchester United. The Glazer family announced it was purchasing the English club in September 2003, just eight months after the Bucs had won their first Super Bowl.
The 2003 championship game against Oakland Raiders, which was dubbed 'Pirate Bowl' in reference to their closely related names, is the highlight of a history of ups and downs for the Bucs.
