Putting up with Washington fans in northern Virginia is worse. :dead:It's good to see the Pewter Pirates lose.... too bad for Galloway and Allen but I'm tired of all their fans down here. If they had won, it would be another week of how this years Bucs team is just like the team that won the Super Bowl in '02... "They're gonna sneak under the radar and win the Super Bowl". Uh... think again.
Seahawks what?

Spitting in public can earn you a $250 fine. Spitting at an opponent will cost you five figures.
FOXSports.com has learned that the NFL will fine Redskins safety Sean Taylor $17,000 for spitting in the face of Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman during Saturday's playoff game against Tampa Bay.
The total equals the Redskins' playoff share for one week, meaning Taylor essentially played the game for free.
Taylor, who was ejected over the incident Saturday, spit at Pittman as the two stood face-to-face after a 3-yard scramble by quarterback Chris Simms in the third quarter. Pittman hit Taylor in retaliation, but referee Mike Carey announced there would be no penalty on Pittman.
In the first half, Taylor scored on a 51-yard fumble return that gave the Redskins a 14-0 lead.
Taylor was investigated last season for spitting at Cincinnati receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The NFL carefully reviewed tapes to determine whether Taylor should be fined, but they found no video evidence to support the allegation.
In 1997, Broncos linebacker Bill Romanowski was fined $7,500 for spitting in the face of 49ers wide receiver J.J. Stokes.
