Description
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 1976-1977 season was a remarkable, if not remarkable, chapter in NFL history. The team's 26-game losing streak, coupled with their infamous "Creamsicle" uniforms and mascot, made them a national laughingstock. Yet, amidst the chaos, a unique identity began to take shape for the region of Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers' struggles were not just about the on-field performance, but also about the people behind the team. The ownership, coaching, and even the players themselves were all part of a larger experiment to create a shared identity for the region. This story is one of how professional sports can sometimes reach unprofessional depths, and how a team's failures can become a catalyst for something bigger. Jason Vuic's book tells the story of this remarkable, if not remarkable, season, and the people behind it.
