The Death of Chuckie: Tampa Bay Bucs fire Coach John Gruden!!! Would be a nice fit for Dallas Cowboys!

He could be a nice fit in Dallas.  He would bring attitude.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneersfired coach Jon Gruden and general manager Bruce Allen on Friday after the team collapsed following a 9-3 start and failed to make the playoffs.

Gruden, who helped lead the Buccaneers to a victory over the Oakland Raiders in the 2003 Super Bowl, was Tampa Bay’s coach for seven years. Allen was general manager for the last five seasons.

The Buccaneers were tied for first place in the NFC South heading into December, but finished with losses to Carolina and Atlanta on the road and San Diego and Oakland at home, where they had been 6-0. One more win would have landed a NFC wild-card berth.

The 9-7 record this season left Tampa out of the playoffs for the fourth time in six years.

What the Cincinnati Papers are saying!

It looks like the Beagles are a hurting team.  Players are coming back from suspension, on and off the roster moves, injuries and just not playing well.  The Cowboys need to make a statement and have the starters on the bench by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Wide receiver Chris Henry made a positive impression on coaches and teammates this week - his first back at practice since completing his four-game NFL suspension - and might be signed to the active roster and play Sunday at Dallas.

Henry was granted a one-week roster exemption to practice this week.

The club has until 4 p.m. today to sign Henry to the 53-man roster, which would make him eligible to play against the Cowboys.

Regarding Henry, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said: "We'll make that determination a little later. Obviously he got the messages. He spent the four weeks away ... working his butt off."

Lewis said he was impressed by Henry's conditioning level this week. Henry took snaps on the scout-team offense against the first-team defense and worked in with the regular offense.

"If we activate him," Lewis said of Henry, "he'll play."

No movement was expected Friday on Henry.

ROSTER MOVE: The Bengals on Friday waived rookie cornerback Simeon Castille and signed linebacker Abdul Hoge from the practice squad to the active roster.

Hoge is a third-year player from Iowa. He was a third-round draft choice by Green Bay in 2006 and played in eight games. He was injured (knee) all of 2007 and signed Sept. 16 to the Bengals' practice squad.

Castille, a rookie free agent from Alabama, played in Games 1-4 with six tackles.

He was relegated to fifth cornerback when the Bengals signed veteran corner Jamar Fletcher last week.

INJURIES: Left tackle Levi Jones did not practice Friday and was listed as probable. He is taking a series of shots on Thursdays to treat knee cartilage damage. He then must rest the next day.

Linebacker Dhani Jones (foot), tailback Chris Perry (hamstring) and defensive tackle Domata Peko (hand) - all three players are starters - are probable. Jones was limited in practice, and Peko and Perry practiced fully.

Besides Palmer, players questionable: tailback Kenny Watson (hamstring) and cornerback Johnathan Joseph (ankle). Watson is not expected to play, though Joseph, who practiced fully, could return after missing two games.

Linebacker Corey Mays (ankle) is doubtful and did not practice.

"Hard Knocks" is Coming to Camp

NFL Films president Steve Sabol announced that the Dallas Cowboys would be the team featured in 2008 on the HBO feature "Hard Knocks". Sabol said when discussing the decision to have the Cowboys featured, "It's the No. 1, flagship franchise. It was our first choice. Plus, they're a Super Bowl contender. When you have the Cowboys, plus how good they are, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't approach them first."
HBO is expecting this years edition to have huge ratings. "It's fair to say this should go through the roof," Greenburg said. "This is a 13-3 team that most preseason picks are looking at the Cowboys. And I think with the characters and the storylines on this team, and the fact it is America's Team, I think this is going to be the highest rated."

Just what the Cowboys need is more media attention. With the Pacman Jones saga getting ready to begin. The additional pressure on Tony Romo after losing in the playoffs with the added Jessica Simpson questions. Then there is the media frenzy that is Terrell Owens. This special could be a recipe for disaster. Owens who is especially sensitive only needs the wrong question to be asked or the wrong comment made, or some animosity to one of his teammates begin and the Cowboys could be in for a long painful season.

Of course I am happy to have the Cowboys recognized by "Hard Knocks" but with the current roster and the way the season ended last year, this may not be a good year to be featured.
