Ronde Wants Six More Touchdowns

The Web-only Bucs fan message boards and news Web site, Pewter Report.com, had one of its writers listen to the radio last night.

Andrew Scavelli tuned into Total Access on 620 WDAE-AM, a proud partner of JoeBucsFan.com, and heard Ronde Barber interviewed on the Buccaneers Radio Network program.

It seems Barber’s return for a touchdown after Geno Hayes’ blocked punt Sunday put Barber six TDs away from an NFL record he covets.

“I’ve been pretty closed about some of my goals, but one of my goals has been to be the all-time return leader in defensive touchdowns, and I’m two behind Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper,” Barber said. “It would be nice. I’ve just got to get on more punt blocks and I definitely have to have some more fortuitous bounces to get to 20 scores.”

The 13-year pro would surpass Deion Sanders’ NFL record of 19 for defensive and return game touchdowns, if he were to accomplish his goal.

Joe wishes Barber luck, although he probably doesn’t have enough years left in the game to break the record.

Joe finds it interesting that Barber says he’s “been closed about some of my goals.”

Is this the same guy who whined about negative media coverage toward him and the Buccaneers?

Ronde, just open up about your goals. Tops on your list likely is to make the Hall of Fame. Surely any talk from you about Bucs and the Hall of Fame would generate some feel-good media.

    Pretty hard on a franchise player there, eh Joe?

    Joe here,

    Nah. Love Ronde. Who doesn’t? Just trying to help the guy get over his issues with the media. It’s freaking football. He shouldn’t be so stressed out about sharing.

    I too, think your being a little tough on a guy who’s been everything for the Bucs, Joe. But, Ronde, I would also consider your mainstay:interceptions as the more important way of reaching your goal.(and quite frankly I’d love to see you get it and make the “Hall”.)
