Don't seize, but siege the day, Bucs, fans! (via the Buccaneers)
'Siege' (but don't seize!) the day, Bucs, fans! (via the Buccaneers)

We suppose the Buccaneers deserve credit for trying. But for an outfit that went 2-14 last season, maybe a little more thought should have gone into the motivational slogan for the 2015: "Siege the Day."

According to the Tampa Bay Business Journal, "'Siege the Day' is the Bucs' 2015-16 tagline, a reference to what team executives see as a potentially landmark season, between the team's 40th anniversary and several marquee players who will take the field, including quarterback Jameis Winston, the No. 1 overall draft pick."

About that...


Here's another tagline suggestion: "Tampa Bay, where we can't even get 'carpe diem' right."

But maybe the "a prolonged period of misfortune" angle is intentional, a nod to the team's first coach, John McKay, who was once asked what he thought of the team's execution.

"I'm in favor of it," he said.
