Forget the 3 and 1 record.  Forget the fact the Bucs are leading their division.  I would like to focus on an element of this team that carries more weight than wins and losses.  It's called "TEAM."

FOX analyst Sam Rosen was stunned when he saw the entire Bucs team run across the field to console Cadillac Williams as he was carted off the field.  Sam obviously didn't hear about Paris Warren.  Now the entire nation knows - this Bucs team has a tight-knit resolve unmatched in the NFL.  It's contagious. It's infectious. It's an intangible rarely see in any level of sports. 

As a broadcaster, I can't tell you the countless times I get shallow rhetoric from players.  Absolutely no conviction behind their statements.  They say what they want the public to hear.  With this team, there is no B.S.  They say what they mean, and mean what they say.  They have heart! 

No matter if this team wins another game, I am going on record right now, and going against the trend that determines job stability in the NFL....wins and losses.  Head Coach Jon Gruden is off the hot-seat, period.  If I was the owner of that franchise, I'd be proud as hell to own it.  Furthermore, I'd be inacting an extension, not a termination of anyone's contract.  That includes the head coach.  Two weeks ago, I thought this team "might" have something going.  Today, we say they "defintely" do.  Far more than what wins and losses determine.
