As the Lions march toward 0-16, expect the media to start bugging Steve Spurrier about his time at QB for the winless 1976 Bucs.

Joe rooted for the Patriots to beat the Giants in the Super Bowl earlier this year for one big reason. He wanted to see the Pats go 17-0 and make the annoying undefeated ’72 Miami Dolphins disappear forever.

Go away already, guys. Pro Bowler turned cocaine trafficker Mercury Morris is too annoying, along with the other old Dolphins that gather every year to celebrate when all NFL teams finally lose a game. Although, Joe is partial to Larry Czonka, the retro A-Train.

For this season, Joe hopes the 0-10 Lions keep on losing.

Joe wants to see the reaction on Steve Spurrier’s face when the ESPN cameras follow him around asking if he’s excited about the possibility of being overshadowed in the NFL record books. You see, Spurrier was the starting QB on the ’76 Bucs who lost every game, 0-14. That was the only true winless season in modern league history.

It would be great to hear the witty, annoyed comments from the Ol’ Ballcoach.

St. Pete Times columnist John Romano takes a look at the ’76 Bucs team today, in what is sure to be the first of many articles on the ’76 Bucs, if the Lions keep losing.
