It's the most indelible image in Bucs history. Jon Gruden, raising the Lombardi Trophy in his right hand while embracing owner Malcolm Glazer after winning Super Bowl XXXVII. The confetti had fallen and Gruden had thoroughly thrashed his former Oakland Raiders team 48-21 on a cool evening in San Diego.
Less than a year earlier, Glazer had paid an enormous bounty to the Raiders to trade for Gruden — two first round picks, two second round picks and $8-million. Now here they stood, the kings of the NFL, an improbable season ending when the impossible happened.
Like any picture, it's worth 1,000 words.
