Saddest day in Tampa history. Lee Roy was a great guy. I was at the Trop a few weeks ago and saw him there. He will be missed. Mother fucker did a lot for the community and is the second greatest Buc in history and the only one in the Hall of Fame.

How the fuck does this have zero posts?

Oh well.

I was listening to WDAE the Tuesday after Selmon's death. They invited fans to call in and share their memories of Lee Roy. One man called in and said -- that as a child -- he had been invited to a Buccaneer Bible study session. That night, when Lee Roy arrived, the boy excitedly announced that he was playing football, and was doing his best to emulate the Buccaneers' star defensive end. The boy's brother (or father, I forget) didn't think he'd make it long in football, because he cried too much. Lee Roy -- the six-foot-three, 260lb giant -- smiled warmly at the boy and said, "It's okay. I cry a lot too."
