Turn the page.
Already, it's our runaway choice for official slogan of the 2003 Bucs.
Remember the Lombardi Trophy? Have you seen it lately? Didn't think so. Now it's in lockdown, surfacing only occasionally, such as the other night during a dinner for the organization's scouts.
The hardware has been overwhelmingly requested for corporate outings and birthday parties - and wouldn't that Lombardi Trophy work beautifully next to the magician, caricature artist and pinata? - but sorry, it's not available.
``She's under lock and key,'' Bucs general manager Rich McKay said. ``When we get to our new training facility, there might be a nice display in the lobby. Not now. It's probably not necessary to having her stare at us in the face right now.''
Turn the page.
Before the weekend minicamp, Bucs coach Jon Gruden spoke to the veterans, emphasizing it's a new season, a different roster and probably a slightly tweaked formula for success. That set the stage for Monte Kiffin's motivational presentation. Maybe Kiffin didn't get the memo.
``It was a `One Shining Moment' video with all of our highlights,'' strong safety John Lynch said. ``I was like, `Hey, what happened to turning the page?' ''
Well, there's nothing wrong with happy memories from Super Bowl XXXVII. But the party's over.
``Turning the page doesn't mean we have to forget about what we just read,'' cornerback Ronde Barber said. ``It should stay in the back of our minds. We should learn from it. After all, what we're attempting to do hasn't been accomplished by a lot of teams - in any sport.''
