In additional to Briggs, they have mainstay Derrick Brooks and newcomer Cato June, who signed a three-year deal with a total value that's roughly one half of what Briggs likely wants in guaranteed money.&lt;br /&gt;Are the Bucs serious?  We don't think so.  But we do think that it's head coach Jon Gruden's way of letting Brooks know that Gruden would prefer that Brooks move on.  (Not gonna do it tonight.)&lt;br /&gt;The other alternative would be to move Briggs to the middle.  He wants to be Brian Urlacher; why not let him play Urlacher's position?  But that means Brooks or June wouldn't be able to move to the middle. &lt;br /&gt;Besides, June probably can only play the weakside, given his safety-sized body. &lt;br /&gt;In our view, then, this isn't about the Bucs getting Briggs.  It's about the Bucs getting rid of Brooks.  And it could happen sooner than anyone realizes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This is a Man Blog, It used to be about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Blog only, but I am adding, things like all NFL, Pro-Wrestling, Weight lifting and many other manly things.

A seventh-year pro, Lehr spent the last two seasons with the Falcons after playing his first four years in Dallas followed by a single season (2004) with the Rams.Last year Lehr was suspended for four games midway through the season for violating the league's steroid/related substances policy. He did start 11 games in 2006-07 and in 69 career games has 48 starts.On Monday the Bucs learned their preseason schedule, and it's one that will keep them in state the whole way. The first opponent is a good one, as the Patriots come to Raymond James Stadium the second weekend of August (exact dates will be announced soon).After the opener the Bucs will play at Jacksonville and at Miami before concluding at home against the Texans.Shelton Quarles, depending on which reports one believes, either has a hip injury or a concussion. When asked from the football meetings in Arizona last week, Buccaneer head coach Jon Gruden did not shed light on the specifics but at least offered something that until then had not been clear: the Bucs do want Quarles back."We've got to let the medical people do their part also, and we'll just keep our fingers crossed and hope it works out," Gruden said in Friday's St. Petersburg Times. "Shelton still can really play well."Quarles is not telling, the Bucs are not saying, and with Quarles' comments to Bay area newspapers Tuesday the mystery is only growing. To both the St. Pete Times and Tampa Tribune, Quarles would not address what his injuries were but said he wants to play football. Reports had been that Quarles' injuries might lead to him having to at least sit out a year."I know I have the ability to play," Quarles told the Tribune. "If it was up to me, we proably wouldn't be talking about it right now," he said in the Times.Basically it sounds like the Bucs have been very slyly trying to save some money by releasing Quarles, using the injuries as a reason -- but again, no one can say what is hampering the linebacker, if anything.Recently the team signed linebacker Cato June."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This is a Man Blog, It used to be about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Blog only, but I am adding, things like all NFL, Pro-Wrestling, Weight lifting and many other manly things.

This is a bigger night then even the NFL Superbowl. I love pro-wrestling even more then I love the NFL. Nothing holds a candle to the WWE not even the Bucs. The World Wrestling Entertainment® set an all-time attendance record at Ford Field last night, as 80,103 ecstatic fans shared in the excitement of WrestleMania 23, Fans packed Ford Field from ringside to the rafters, including thousands with standing room only tickets.WrestleMania 23 is the highest grossing one-day live event in WWE history, grossing more than $5.38 million in ticket sales.Fans converged on Detroit from 24 countries, all 50 states and 9 Canadian provinces, pumping an estimated $25 million into the local economy. This marks the second time World Wrestling Entertainment has established an attendance record in Detroit. In 1987, at WrestleMania III, 93,173 fans filled the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich., setting the all-time indoor attendance record.“Who says lightning doesn’t strike twice,” said Kurt Schneider, Executive Vice President of Marketing. “Ford Field shook to the very core of its foundation with the thunderous noise from the record-setting crowd. The support of our fans in Detroit and around the world made WrestleMania 23 a tremendous success.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those keeping track that record is even more then Superbowl attendance. More views tuned into Wrestlemania then tuned into the Superbowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;"WWE getting pub from everywhere! The Associated Press released a story on&lt;br /&gt;WrestleMania 23 earlier today, specifically focusing on Donald Trump's victory&lt;br /&gt;over Vince McMahon in the Battle of the Billionaires.

This is probably the biggest offseason move for the Bucs todate.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed unrestricted free agent linebacker Cato June, the leading tackler this past season for the Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June, who became an unrestricted free agent this month, has been a starter the past three seasons in Indianapolis and earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2005 when he tallied 109 tackles and five interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns. That same year he was also named to the Associated Press NFL All-Pro Second Team and the Pro Football Weekly/Professional Football Writers of America All-NFL Team.A converted college safety, June was drafted in the sixth round (198th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Colts, and quickly became a lynchpin at the linebacker position in the Colts’ Cover Two-oriented defense. In 2004 – June’s first year as a starter – he led his team in tackles, posting 128 stops. Pro Bowl honors followed the season after, and last year June’s 162 tackles were again a team-high.&lt;br /&gt;Only 27 years of age, the 6-0, 227-pound June is considered one of the up-and-coming linebackers in the league and is widely viewed as an excellent fit for the defensive scheme employed by the Buccaneers because of his coverage and pursuit skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This is a Man Blog, It used to be about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Blog only, but I am adding, things like all NFL, Pro-Wrestling, Weight lifting and many other manly things.

Grant carries the Saints' franchise tag.&lt;br /&gt;By rule, Grant may sign an offer sheet with any other team. If the Saints should opt not to match, they would receive two first-round picks as compensation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such an outcome is highly unlikely, since the Bucs hold the fourth overall pick. And trading down before signing Grant isn't an option; the Bucs must give up their own first-rounder, not someone else's. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more likely outcome is that, if the Bucs decide to make a play for Grant, Tampa and New Orleans will work out a trade. And with the Bucs potentially going for broke in 2007 under coach Jon Gruden and G.M. Bruce Allen, both of whom might be gone by next year, we wouldn't rule out a package including the Bucs' third-round pick in 2007 and a conditional pick in 2008.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This is a Man Blog, It used to be about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Blog only, but I am adding, things like all NFL, Pro-Wrestling, Weight lifting and many other manly things.

"You can know by the looking in my face and hearing my words that I am retiring from the NFL. At 32 years old, I'm running away from the game. Not in fear or fright, but health-wise. I'm healthy. I'm happy. I have a lot to look forward to in my life."&lt;br /&gt;Reports of Plummer's retirement surfaced not long after reports surfaced that he had been traded by the Broncos to the Buccaneers. The timing prompted speculation that Plummer was trying to engineer his arrival in Houston.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've since heard that Plummer isn't serious about retiring.

The Bucs, Patriots, and the Jets and Green Bay are all seeking trades for Moss. This could be huge breaking news in days to come. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;More Breaking news, it seems Plummer will not retire and will land in Houston. The deal is still being worked out according to both teams.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Bucs allegedly have signed Kansas City free agent offensive tackle Jordan Black, who visited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today. We will see if the reports coming from the Bucs Radio Network are true. If so they are really fixing the O line this offseason.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is some of Bruce Allen with Dan Sileo on the Bucs Radio Network:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allen On Plummer:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;"Bucs own the rights to Plummer. It was an out right trade. Jake has not filed&lt;br /&gt;for retirement. There is no doubt that getting these qbs has given us options,&lt;br /&gt;but we hope Jake will play for the Bucs. It will sort itself out over the next&lt;br /&gt;few days."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allen On Signing Petitgout:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;"The starting qb will be decided later, we had a very young offensive line, and&lt;br /&gt;we are trying to get better at pass protection&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; The plan was to&lt;br /&gt;bring in one veteran and we were able to do that. He broke his leg last season,&lt;br /&gt;but the doctors have assured me that he is ready to play."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allen On Draft and Calvin Johnson:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;He dodge the question, but said Johnson would be a huge playmaker.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allen On Randy Moss:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;Refused to talk about him at this time due to being under contract with another&lt;br /&gt;team.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allen On Kevin Carter:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;"He is versatile and has never played less than 76% of the snaps as a DE until he&lt;br /&gt;went to Miami. He is a great guy, a real leader. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allen On Rice:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;"He is not going anywhere, he is almost back to 100% and he is pushing for&lt;br /&gt;Plummer to come to Tampa. He is friends with Plummer and played with Plummer&lt;br /&gt;with the Cardnials. He thinks he will be a great fit here in Tampa. He is in&lt;br /&gt;high spirits now. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allen On last years problems:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;"Both on passing, QB for us was bad and QB against us were great they averaged&lt;br /&gt;90% for a QB rating, which is unheard of with a Bucs Defense.

It is always the best move for a fan to see one of the greatest Buccaneer of all time play the game, but I am not sure over all this is a smart move for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt;. Sure $21 million under the cap they can afford this fan favorite and keep the pressure of the fans off the organizations back. However, is this really a smart move? He is a great football player, but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Gruden&lt;/span&gt; won't use him the way he should be used, and lets not forget his blocking does Cadillac no favors. So does this help the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt;, I say yes, because of locker room leadership, but no as for a key player on this offense. Cadillac needs a Lorenzo Neal type fullback, which &lt;a href="http://www.buccaneers.com/team/playerdetail.aspx?player=Sowell,Jerald,33"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Sowell&lt;/span&gt;, Jerald&lt;/a&gt; brings to the table. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Sowell&lt;/span&gt; has helped Curtis Martin reach 1,000 yard mark on more then one occasion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt; also finally did something they should have done two years ago, the cut a penalty making poor excuse for an offensive line men in Kenyatta Walker.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another sad &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;peice&lt;/span&gt; of news that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt; are reporting is that Shelton &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Quarles&lt;/span&gt; is more then likely going to retire before the 07 season. My wife and I met Mr. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Quarles&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://pewterpirates.blogspot.com/2006/05/happy-mothers-day.html"&gt;My wife and I with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Quarles&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;, He is a very nice gentleman, and will be missed. However, I am ready to see Barrett Rudd in action full time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some thing I found interesting, is that the mock drafts for the 07 NFL Draft has the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt; now picking Joe Thomas.  Before it was Calvin Johnson.  I think if Thomas is on the board you take him.  However, Detroit will more then likely take Thomas.  But I am &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;intrigued&lt;/span&gt; with Johnson as well.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Breaking News, once again you heard it hear first.  Garcia will sign  a two year deal with the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt; reported worth $5 million per season.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt; radio network reported this info this afternoon.  He is old, but he is a lot better then &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;Simms&lt;/span&gt; could ever be.  Calvin Johnson then would be a nice fit for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;Bucs&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This is a Man Blog, It used to be about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Blog only, but I am adding, things like all NFL, Pro-Wrestling, Weight lifting and many other manly things.

According to a report in Thursday's&lt;br /&gt;Tampa Tribune, the Colts are one of three NFL teams that have interest in the&lt;br /&gt;services of Mike Alstott.The Trib says that a report is circulating at the NFL&lt;br /&gt;scouting combine in Indianapolis that the Colts are joined by Arizona and&lt;br /&gt;Seattle in wanting to look at Alstott. Before that could even happen, the Bucs&lt;br /&gt;might resign him but they haven't made any indications towards doing&lt;br /&gt;that.Players who don't have new deals become free agents on March 2.Though&lt;br /&gt;Alstott has not spoken yet on the matter, someone very close to him has and it&lt;br /&gt;sounds like he's coming back. Alstott's wife Nicole told the Tampa Tribune Feb.&lt;br /&gt;10 that the "A-Train" wants to keep playing."Mike has decided he wants to come&lt;br /&gt;back in 2007 and play football," Nicole Alstott said. "Everybody loves to watch&lt;br /&gt;him and he's still a fantastic football player."If that's true then it's up to&lt;br /&gt;the Bucs to make it happen. Alstott's return could hinge on whether&lt;br /&gt;the Bucs decide to offer him a contract for next season. The situation&lt;br /&gt;could closely resemble what took place prior to last season when Alstott briefly&lt;br /&gt;considered retiring. It ended with the fullback receiving a one year contract&lt;br /&gt;for $1.5 million.Also, considering that Tampa is very thin at that position with&lt;br /&gt;Jerald Sowell, who is expected to become a free agent, as the only other&lt;br /&gt;fullback under contract.According to an email that Alstott's agent Jim Steiner&lt;br /&gt;wrote to the Tampa Tribune, "He is a free agent, so we would have to negotitate&lt;br /&gt;a new deal with the Bucs for him to return."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those that truly believe &lt;a href="http://bestbucsblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/around-ebays.html#links"&gt;Gruden wants Alstott back&lt;/a&gt; , you need to listen to the Bucs Official Radio Network, and the Mike Alstott show. Gruden has never really wanted Mike on the team, and it has been the Owner, who have stepped in and kept Mike. Gruden is famous for saying that he wants to keep players,l and then he allows them to get cut or leave. I heard him say he wanted Sapp back, and he wanted Lynch to be a Buccaneer, but he allowed they to leave. So don’t be surprised if we see number 40 in a different uniform. Now that Alstott is not under contract with the Bucs, and teams like the Seahawks or even Arizona, who has money to spend could afford Mike at a higher price then the Bucs would even be willing to offer. Besides, if Mike comes back it would not be advantageous for him, since we as fans already know his role in Gruden’s offense. Yes, I am a huge Alstott fan, and I have met him several time, and I have his autograph, but lets face it, I would rather see Mike in a Colts uniform, where he will be used and possibly could even return to the Pro-Bowl, and hell maybe he would make the playoffs too, lets face we won't. I also would rather see Jerald Sowell blocking for Cadilliac. Lets not forget that Curtis Martin was a 1,000 yard back ever season with Sowell blocking for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5b3WMrpFx4E/Rd5jl5_ZGMI/AAAAAAAAAIg/U6G7vbBlMCg/s1600-h/hardy_nickerson.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034570936319809730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5b3WMrpFx4E/Rd5jl5_ZGMI/AAAAAAAAAIg/U6G7vbBlMCg/s320/hardy_nickerson.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; In other Buccaneer news, Lovie Smith has offered Hardy Nickerson a coaching job with the Bears.

First of all, most protein powders taste nasty and are heavy on the stomach. Muscle Milk has an incredible milk shake taste, and it comes in many flavors. Muscle Milk was created by CytoSport, &lt;a href="http://www.cytosport.com/"&gt;http://www.cytosport.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muscle Milk’s key is the Evopro. The Evopro blend is what Cytosport calls “Nature’s Ultimate Anabolic Protein-amino blend”. Muscle Milk has whey and caseins in it. Muscle Milk is patterned after human mother’s milk, which has important anabolic growth potentials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is what Cytosport says about their product:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;“A mainstay of effective and convenient nutritional programs for serious athletes, Muscle Milk is an “evolutionary” muscle formula that promotes efficient fat burning, lean muscle growth and fast recovery from exercise. Designed after human mother’s milk, Muscle Milk is the perfect and complete protein supplement for your nutritional needs. Muscle Milk is arguably America’s favorite protein."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;"EvoPro—Nature’s Ultimate Protein—Amino Blend Human milk is composed of unique and highly complex proteins, peptides and amino acids, which promote rapid muscle tissue growth. EvoPro includes these alpha and beta micellar caseins,&lt;br /&gt;alpha-lactalbumin, lactoferrin, L-glutamine and more. Nature created this precise mix to stimulate muscle growth to higher levels, and EvoPro is the ultimate nitrogen delivery source. Muscle Milk helps grow muscle faster than gainers, whey or even creatine. This increased muscle growth is possible because&lt;br /&gt;Muscle Milk is the first product patterned after Nature’s ultimate anabolic food—human mother’s milk. Locked within the composition of human mother’s milk are long-held secrets to muscle growth potential. We took the next step and actually duplicated these important muscle growth factors into Muscle Milk." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Muscle Milk helps you grow muscle like never before.&lt;br /&gt;The key is to stay anabolic instead of becoming catabolic, and Muscle Milk makes this easy to do. Take two scoops first thing in the morning, and then another 45 minutes before workouts. This will help keep your workout intense. I left heavy and it is easy to become fatigued very fast, Muscle Milk keeps your energy level high during your workout. Then take another two scoops right after work-out, this is where it is most important. This is where your muscles need the protein to start rebuilding what you tore in the gym. This is where you want to become anabolic, other wise you will become catabolic. I usually drink 3-4 shakes a day, and I also make sure I have at least 1-2 scoops before bedtime. This is another catabolic period, during your sleep. Taking protein before bed, will help keep you anabolic during your hours of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This is a Man Blog, It used to be about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Blog only, but I am adding, things like all NFL, Pro-Wrestling, Weight lifting and many other manly things.

This stuff really works, I know coming from a guy that used Andro before it was pulled. In July 06, I had surgery to repair a hernia and my weight dropped to 186 lbs, and I struggled to get my size of 220 lbs back. I finally found the right supplement that is legal and packs a punch better than Andro did. As a power lifter and a body builder, this stuff works. I have been saying I will evaluate workouts and general supplements, I have not gotten around to doing so, but here is my first attempt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My strength and size shot up on this supplement. 17-HD (17- Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone) is a revolutionary all natural anabolic formula designed to help pack on lean muscle pounds. It elevates serum levels of free testosterone resulting in an increase in strength, size, and work-out intensity. My bench has shot up past 405 lbs, and my military press is well over 225 lbs. This supplement is so potent that you must cycle off of it, in order to give you natural testosterone levels a chance to kick back in. My goal is to weigh 250 lbs, and bench 495+ range and military press 315.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now mind you that I consume over 230 grams of protein a day. Protein of choice is muscle milk. My work-outs varies: I do classic pyramids at times, and other times I do 3-4 X 6 as heavy as I can go to get six reps. Another key is nutrition, my wife and I eat six small meals a day and drink about a gallon of water a day. We do eat according to the BODY FOR LIFE (life style). A nice way to change your meals up is by using the EAT FOR LIFE book, that was put out by Bill Philips to accomidate the Body for Life principle. My wife weighs 111 lbs and is only 5’1” and I am only 5’8" and weigh 225 with a waist size of 34. So we are doing something right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5b3WMrpFx4E/Rc-pV5_ZGHI/AAAAAAAAAHo/gUjbYM5VN78/s1600-h/791676711481.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5030425502605187186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5b3WMrpFx4E/Rc-pV5_ZGHI/AAAAAAAAAHo/gUjbYM5VN78/s320/791676711481.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;17-Halo-Methyl-Dianadrone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;LEGAL for muscle hungry bodybuilders in all 50 states!&lt;br /&gt;Amazing new androgenic/anabolic outperforms all Testosterone Boosting Compounds&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This is a Man Blog, It used to be about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Blog only, but I am adding, things like all NFL, Pro-Wrestling, Weight lifting and many other manly things.
