The Buccaneers’ defense intercepted five passes, three of which were returned for touchdowns, and recorded five sacks as Tampa Bay scored 34 unanswered points en route to its first Super Bowl victory.

Charles Woodson intercepted Brad Johnson three plays into the game to give Oakland the ball at the Buccaneers’ 36. But Simeon Rice sacked Rich Gannon on third down to force the Raiders to settle for Sebastian Janikowski’s 40-yard field goal.

On their next nine possessions, the Raiders registered just two first downs and did not run a play inside the Buccaneers’ 40 as Tampa Bay scored the next 34 points. The Buccaneers answered Janikowski’s field goal with Martin Gramatica’s 31-yard boot to tie the game.

An interception by Dexter Jackson set up Gramatica’s go-ahead field goal early in the second quarter. Midway through the second quarter, a 25-yard punt return by Karl Williams and a 19-yard run by Michael Pittman led to Mike Alstott’s 2-yard touchdown run.

Late in the half, the Buccaneers drove 77 yards, aided by three defensive penalties and pass receptions of 16 and 12 yards by Alstott, to set up Brad Johnson’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Keenan McCardell with 30 seconds left in the half, which gave Tampa Bay a 20-3 lead. source.

Simon Bolivar: A LifeSimón Bolívar was a revolutionary who freed six countries, an intellectual who argued the principles of national liberation, and a general who fought a cruel colonial war. His life, passions, battles, and great victories became embedded in Spanish American culture almost as soon as they happened. This is the first major English-language biography of “The Liberator” in half a century. John Lynch draws on extensive research on the man and his era to tell Bolívar’s story, to understand his life in the context of his own society and times, and to explore his remarkable and enduring legacy.
The book illuminates the inner world of Bolívar, the dynamics of his leadership, his power to command, and his modes of ruling the diverse peoples of Spanish America. The key to his greatness, Lynch concludes, was supreme will power and an ability to inspire people to follow him beyond their immediate interests, in some cases through years of unremitting struggle. Encompassing Bolívar’s entire life and his many accomplishments, this is the definitive account of a towering figure in the history of the Western hemisphere.  

Super Bowl XXXVII - Tampa Bay Buccaneers Championship Video [VHS]The full story of Tampa Bay's championship year is on this special edition DVD, featuring large helpings of regular-season highlights from 2002, plus the team's post-season climb to a Super Bowl perch. Bucs fans might dispute deleted plays or up-and-down video/audio quality, but if one is looking for a fairly thorough, blow-by-blow overview of a once derided team's long-awaited redemption, Super Bowl XXXVII has got the big picture. The program leads us, game by game, warts and all, through head coach Jon Gruden's 12-4 season, examining the Bucs' intensifying passing game and the team's merciless, smart, dominating defense. The NFC Divisional contest against San Francisco, the first-half dramas of the NFC championship, and the Super Bowl rout against the Raiders are all condensed (the Super Bowl is squeezed into an hour) but well-represented. Special features include pre- and post-game commentary for that extra touch of immediacy. --Tom Keogh
