Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football franchise based in Tampa, Florida, USA They are currently members of the South of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL) are the only team in the division not to come from the old NFC West. The team, along with the Seattle Seahawks, joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team. The Bucs played their first season in the AFC West as part of the 1976 expansion plan. After the season, they switched conferences with the Seattle Seahawks and became part of the NFC. The club is owned by Malcolm Glazer. They play their home games at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the first team after the merger to win a division title expansion, win a playoff game, and to host and play in a championship game of the conference, this was achieved in the 1979 season. They are also the first team since the merger completing a winning season to start 10 or more rookies, which they did in the 2010 season. In 1976 and 1977, the Buccaneers lost their first 26 games. After a brief period of victories in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the team suffered through 14 consecutive losing seasons. Then, over a period of 10 years, were consistent playoff contenders, and won Super Bowl XXXVII at the end of the 2002 season, but have not yet returned to the Super Bowl, so the Bucs, with Saints New Orleans and New York Jets are the only NFL teams to win his only appearance in the Super Bowl.


The name "Tampa Bay" is often used to describe a geographic metropolitan area which encompasses the cities around the body of water known as Tampa Bay, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Bradenton and Sarasota. Unlike in the case of Green Bay, Wisconsin, no municipality known as "Tampa Bay". The "Tampa Bay" in the names of local professional sports franchises denotes that represent the entire region, not just Tampa or St. Petersburg.

The Buccaneers joined the NFL as members of the AFC West in 1976. The following year, they moved to the NFC Central, while the other 1976 expansion team, the Seattle Seahawks, switched conferences with Tampa Bay and joined the AFC West. This restructuring was dictated by the league as part of the 1976 expansion plan, so both teams can play each other twice and every other NFL franchise once during their first two seasons. Instead of a traditional division schedule of playing each division opponent twice, the Buccaneers played every conference team once again the Seahawks.

Although the profitability of the Buccaneers in the 1980s, Culverhouse's death revealed a team close to bankruptcy, which surprised many observers. His son, Miami attorney Hugh Culverhouse, Jr., practically forced the administrators of the estate of his father to sell the team, which cast doubt on the future of the franchise in Tampa. Stakeholders include own the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner, and the owner of Baltimore Orioles, Peter Angelos, the latter of whom publicly that move the team to Baltimore said, because the city did not have an NFL franchise then. However, in a last minute surprise, Malcolm Glazer outbid both for $ 192 million, the highest sale price for a professional sports franchise to date. Glazer immediately placed his sons Bryan, Edward, and Joel in charge of the financial affairs of the team, and much family money and serious commitment to fielding a winning team, finally allowed the Bucs to be competitive. Computer performance improved dramatically when the Glazers hired Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Tony Dungy as head coach, got rid of the old uniform designs (see below), and convinced voters of Hillsborough County to raise sales tax to fund the construction of Raymond James Stadium.

During Dungy's first season in 1996, the team continued to struggle, from the 1-8 season. But in the second half of the season ended 5-2 mainly due to the completion of a seventh ranked defense in the NFL led by Hardy Nickerson and the maturing of Wyche recruits Brooks, Lynch, and Sapp. Dungy, with his balanced personality, quickly brought balance and morale to the team, and his cover 2 defensive scheme, sharpened to perfection by defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin and linebackers coach Lovie Smith, became the foundation for success future of Tampa Bay. His version of the cover 2 was so successful that it became known as the Tampa 2. It has been brought to the Chicago Bears by Smith, Detroit Lions by Rod Marinelli, Kansas City Chiefs by Herman Edwards and the Indianapolis Colts by Dungy himself, and copied by other teams.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense

Throughout its history, the Buccaneers have been known for their suffocating defense. It all started with the drafting of Hall of Fame defensive end Lee Roy Selmon with their first pick in 1976. Three Buccaneer players have been named to the AP Defensive Player of the Year, and the team has led the league in total defense three times. All three of the Hall of Fame Buccaneers are defensive players.

The team developed cornerstones of the franchise in 1993 John Lynch and Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks in 1995 to go along with All-Pro linebacker Hardy Nickerson. This was followed by the hiring of defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin innovative in 1996. The Buccaneers new image set the stage for one of the greatest defensive careers in NFL history. From 1997 to 2008, the Buccaneers defense finished top ten in the league every year, but one, including eight top-5 and two finishes, high ranking efforts. Kiffin along with head coach Tony Dungy's defense created "Tampa 2", a modified version of the Cover 2 scheme established.

Kiffin defenses defenses were known as the gang team with tremendous speed with a front four that could pressure the quarterback consistently fast linebackers band-to-sideline and a strong secondary that caused turnovers. Many teams have copied the Tampa 2, but none has come close to the success of the Buccaneers led by experienced numerous Pro Bowlers and Hall of Fame. Tampa Bay's defense had Brooks, Sapp, Lynch, Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice, Hardy Nickerson, Donnie Abraham, and other Pro Bowl player.

Asteroid

Asteroid - Steroid are small planets, especially those in the inner System Solar. They are also called large planetoids. These terms have historically applied on some of the stars orbiting the sun that they did not show the disk of the planet and was not observed for the characteristics of an active comet, but the smaller planets as External System Solar were discovered, their volatile based surfaces were found to be more comets were now generally known from traditional steroids. So the steroids term has come increasingly to refer directly to the small bodies of the System of the inner Solar assist in the orbit of Jupiter. They are grouped by external bodies - centaurs, Neptune trojans, and as trans Neptunian planets and small, which is the term preferred astronomical circles. In this article, the term "steroids" refers to the inner planets, the smallest of the System Solar.

There are millions of steroids, many thought that the human remains of the planetesimals, bodies within the nebula the young Sun 's output that has not increased enough to become planets. Most of the big Steroids known to orbit a lot of steroids in the central belt of Mars and Jupiter, or co - space and Jupiter (the Jupiter Trojans). However, other families of existing space and the important people, including steroids, near - Earth. Individual Steroids are classified by their Spectra feature, with the majority falling into three main groups : C - type, S - type, and M - sort of. These were named and is often called the carbon - rich, Stony and Metallica songs, respectively.

Sonic the only one, 4 Vesta, with a surface in relation to the author, often visible to the naked eye, and this is only the dark skies. Rarely, small Steroids passing near the Earth may be visible to the naked eye for a while. Since September 2013, the Minor Planet Center had data from more than a million objects in the System of the inner and outer Solar, of which 625,000 had enough information to be given are numbered.

On 22 January 2014, ESA scientists reported seeing, for the first time in a clear, water vapor on Ceres, the largest in the belt steroids. The find was made ??by using the skills and the far - infrared Herschel Space Observatory. Finding is unexpected because comets, not steroids, are generally considered to be ' plant Jets and plumes ". According to the scientists, " the lines are increasingly blurred between comets and Steroids."

Asteroid Discovery

The Asteroid were found, Ceres, was found in 1801 by Giuseppe Piazza, and at first considered to be a new planet. This was followed by the discovery of other similar bodies, which, with the equipment of the time, appeared to be points of light, like stars, showing no disc planets, although easily distinguishable from the stars because of their apparent movements. This enables the astronomer Sir William Herschel to propose the term " steroids ", was composed in Greek ? Ste ? ? E ? D ? ? ' Star - like, star -shaped ' asteroeides, from Ancient Greek ? st ? ? ' The star, planet ' Aster. In the second half of the early nineteenth century, the word " steroids ' and ' planet ' (not always a graduate of the " small ") was used in the same sense, for example, the Annual of Scientific Discovery for 1871, page 316, reads " Professor J. Watson has been awarded Paris Academy of Sciences, the astronomical prize, to fetch the basis for the discovery of eight new Steroids in one year. The planet Lydia (No. 110), discovered by M. Borelly at the Observatory in Marseilles M. Borelly previously discovered two planets bearing the numbers 91 and 99 in the schedule of Steroids revolving between Mars and Jupiter ".

Availability of steroids methods have dramatically improved over the course of two centuries. Over the last in the 18th century, Baron Franz Xaver von Zach organized a group of 24 astronomers to search the sky for the planet lost in predicted about 2.8 AU from the Sun by the Titius - a useful, in part because of the discovery, by Sir William Herschel in 1781, the planet Uranus at the distance predicted by the law. This work required a hand - drawn sky charts be prepared for all the stars in the zodiacal band down to an agreed limit of faintness. On subsequent days, the sky would be charted again and any moving thing would be, hopefully, a must see. The motion of the planet is expected to be lost was about 30 seconds of arc per hour, easily identified by observers.

The first object, Ceres, was not discovered by a member of the group, but rather by chance in 1801 by Giuseppe Piazza, director of the Observatory of Palermo in Sicily. He found a new star - like in Taurus and followed the displacement of the object during several nights. His colleague, Carl Friedrich Gauss, used these observations to find the exact distance from this unknown thing on Earth. Statistics Gauss ' put something between the planets Mars and Jupiter. Piazza named it Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture.

The other three steroids (2 Pallas, 3 Juno, and 4 Vesta) were discovered over the next few years, with Vesta found in 1807. After more than eight years of searches mirage, many astronomers thought that there were no more and abandoned any previous one. However, Karl Ludwig Hencke persisted, and began to search for more Steroids in 1830. Fifteen years later, he found 5 Astraea, the first new Sonic 38 years. He also found 6 Hebei less than two years later. After this, other astronomers joined in the search and at least one new Sonic diagnosed each year thereafter (except during the war years 1945). Remarkable steroids hunters during the first JR Hind, Annibale de Gasparis, Robert Luther, HMS Goldschmidt, Jean Chacornac, James Ferguson, Norman Robert Pogson, EW Temple, JC Watson, CHF Peters, A. Borrelly, J. apalis, the Henry brothers Auguste Charlois.

In 1891, Max Wolf pioneered the use of astrophotography to get Steroids, which appeared streaks as short on long exposure photographic plates. This has dramatically increased the level of access compared with the previous visual : Wolf alone discovered 248 Steroids, from 323 Brucia, whereas only slightly more than 300 had been discovered up to that time. It was known that there were many more, but most astronomers did not bother them, calling them " vermin of the skies ', the author of various Eduard Suess and Edmund Weiss. Even a century later, steroids, only a few were identified, numbered and named.
