Ok. What we've heard here, in Denver, is that McCardell's main
beef is that he's the #1 guy in Tampa (now that Keyshawn's gone)
but he's still being paid like a #2. The big issue is his age.
He's negotiating his last significant contract and, if he fails
to get the money this time, he'll never see it again. His argu-
ment is that he was the best receiver we had even before we got
rid of Key. It's hard to disagree with him. I think he has a
lot of leverage. Clayton's not ready to step in and play. We
need McCardell's game.

Well actually nothing's really going on right now. I wish that there was
more news. But since the mini camps are over now & training camp doesn't
start until July 31st. So the news has been little .. what are your
plans for the 4th.. Gruden said something to the effect of a barbecue at
home .. and how happy has was to live in the greatest country in the
World , USA.. (Election news, the economy.. gas prices, war in Iraq &
the Stanley Cup winners, that's been the talk around here recently &
can't forget about those Tampa Bay Rays, they are breaking some records
& really looking good....)
Certainly the most interesting Bucs issue I believe now is
that Keenan McCardell could get 2.5 million per year, but apparently
that's not good enough for him, so he's been holding out. (He's 34 yrs.
old they keep mentioning... & that isn't smart for him to be doing. He
didn't attend the mini-camps either.) So guess we may not be seeing him
this year. Too bad he would fit great in the mix. He did great last
season. So that's all folks until training camp I guess.

PS can't wait until football season.
