Booger Picks Another Comeback Attempt
January 13th, 2009On what appears to Booger McFarland’s own Web site, the only message there makes his latest comeback intentions known, “Booger 92. Coming soon to a team near you.”
The former Bucs defensive lineman and first round pick confirmed his latest comeback attempt on The Steve Duemig Show, on 620 AM, WDAE, on Monday. Talking to Duemig about Tony Dungy’s retirement and all things NFL, Booger said he was looking to catch on with the right club for 2009.
McFarland, 31, tore a patella tendon in his knee – see Cadillac Williams – just prior to the 2007 season. He reportedly failed a physical with the Steelers in early 2008. The Saints also were interested.
The Bucs might be interested in the big run-stuffer. Sure, he’s banged up. But, if healthy, he would come cheap, and he knows the system. That’s often the magic combination for Bruce Allen.
