THE BUCS STOP HERE: DESPITE RUMORS, TEAM NOT FOR SALE

          Bucs Exec VPs Joel and Bryan Glazer said that despite
     speculation, the team is not for sale, according to an
     interview with Rick Stroud of the ST. PETERSBURG TIMES. 
     Joel Glazer, on reports that the team could be put up for
     sale: "It makes good articles.  To be honest with you, that
     crap p---- me off.  It's ridiculous.  People want to get
     their name in the paper and to me, my reaction is enough is
     enough.  We've been here six years, we've built this thing,
     people have seen everything we've gone through.  And there's
     a lot of families who have been in the [NFL] for a long time
     and we intend to be one of those families."  Joel Glazer,
     asked if his family could be "more visible" to the team's
     fans: "I think I have a real connection with our fans, more
     so than most owners in this league.  We live a normal life. 
     Unfortunately, that's a double-edged sword because people
     say they don't see you around.  Well, they don't see you
     around in the media because we're not out pounding our
     chests saying 'Here we are'" (ST. PETE TIMES, 9/26).
