Pittsburgh Buccos

[ButlerBulldogs]

does it annoy anyone else when George Grande always calls the Pirates, the "buccos" Ok, i know a pirate is synonymous with bucaneer, but c'mon that isn't there team name....the Tampa Bay Bucaneers aren't referred to as the Pirates by bengals announcers, George Grande if you are reading this please stop and learn to say "Damn"!!

It doesn't particular bother me because I always like when there are other names to refer to the opposing team as (whether it's shortened things like the D'Backs or the G-Men or more obscure like Buccos.) These games are like getting a root canal and I am for about anything that will break the monotony known as the opposing team's hit parade.

In one way, I respect George for sticking to his principles (I am sure he does it because he knows kids watch and he's a professional like that) but I do think I would get some kind of sick pleasure in hearing him say "damn" just once.
