TAMPA, Fla. Derrick Thomas Chiefs Jersey . -- A month after being inducted into pro footballs Hall of Fame, Derrick Brooks will become the newest member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ring of Honor. The team formally announced Tuesday that the nine-time All-Pro linebacker who led the Bucs to their only Super Bowl title 11 seasons ago will also have his No. 55 jersey retired during a ceremony at halftime of a home game against the St. Louis Rams on Sept. 14. Brooks was the 28th player selected in the 1995 NFL draft and teamed with Tampa Bays other first-round pick that year -- Hall of Famer Warren Sapp -- to form the foundation of a dominant defence that helped transform a struggling franchise once jokingly called the "Yucs" into a perennial playoff contender. "If Warren was the heart of our defence, then todays inductee, Derrick Brooks, was the soul that propelled us to our world championship in 2002," Bucs co-chairman Bryan Glazer said. "On any given Sunday, Derrick easily was the best athlete on the field," Glazer added. "There was no tight end he could not cover, no quarterback he could not chase down for a sack and no running back he could not tackle in the open field." Brooks, wholl enter the pro football Hall of Fame in August, joins Lee Roy Selmon, John McKay, Jimmie Giles, Paul Gruber and Sapp in having his name displayed in the Ring of Honor, which was created in 2009 at Raymond James Stadium. Selmon, elected to the Hall of Fame in 1995, and Sapp, enshrined in Canton a year ago, are the only other players to have their jerseys retired by the Buccaneers. The 11-time Pro Bowl selection recalled Tuesday how when Tony Dungy arrived in Tampa in 1996 -- Brooks second pro season -- the former Bucs coach challenged him and Sapp to become the best players they could be by striving to do for Tampa Bay what eventual Hall of Famers Joe Greene and Jack Ham did for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s. "We took it to heart," Brooks said, adding that someone had suggested to him that the Bucs decision to induct him into the Ring of Honor was one of "worst-kept" secrets in town because it comes the same year he joined Sapp as a first-ballot Hall of Famer. "I dont look at it that way. As I told Mr. Glazer, you dont take anything for granted. You dont make any assumptions," Brooks said. "Today is a very important day in my life. To have my number retired is extremely special, too." Brooks didnt miss a game in 14 pro seasons, ending his career with a stretch of 208 consecutive regular-season starts, tied for the 10th-longest streak in NFL history, His 10 consecutive Pro Bowl berths from 1997 to 2007 tied for the second-longest by a linebacker in league history.

They could have won them all - or lost them all. But whether it was John Madden screaming at a young Tom Brady to kneel down and go to overtime against the Rams 13 years ago, the fourth-quarter lead changes against Carolina two years later or the two games against the Giants – one lost after a catch off of David Tyree’s helmet and the other when Mario Manningham made one of the clutch catches in Super Bowl history, the Patriots in the Super Bowl have been full value for the dramatic. New England’s 24-21 win over Philadelphia a decade ago was a little more comfortable than the score suggests but, in total, New England’s Super Bowl experience under Bill Belichick is a great reminder of the slim margin between greatness and goatness. The Patriots appeared to be on the wrong side of destiny for the third time in a row when Seattle’s Jermaine Kearse made a catch that will go into the all-time Super Bowl vault, giving the Seahawks first-and-goal on the New England five-yard line, down 28-24 with just over a minute to play. It was one of those rare plays which all the players on the field - and the 70,000 or so on hand at University of Phoenix Stadium - had given up on...everyone, but Kearse. You’d have to slow down the replay to count just how many times Kearse touched the ball before he actually brought it into his body for good, but at that moment, it sure felt as though the hard part was over for Seattle. A play later, Marshawn Lynch, whose performance justified every bit of attention he managed to suck up during Super Bowl week – inadvertently or not – got to within a yard of the goal line. And when Belichick inexplicably allowed the clock to run down to under 30 seconds, it sure felt as though the Patriots were about to earn their third-straight Super Bowl loss. Close games or not, had that come to pass, it would surely have changed the conversation about the place of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady in NFL and Super Bowl history. Despite their remarkable consistency, their records and the playoff appearances at a time when keeping great teams together isnt easy, the conversation would always have circled back to those three straight Super Bowl losses. But all that changed in an instant, when a rookie defensive back named Malcolm Butler, who’d been picked on by Seattle during most of the second half, stepped up and made a play that not only changed the result of the most widely watched sporting event in North America, but also perhaps football history. “For a rookie to make a play that big to win us the game is really unbelievable,” said Brady. Speaking of ffootball history, there will certainly be those who will look back years from now and wonder why the Seahawks didn’t pound the ball at least one more time with Lynch, whose hard running style seemed to soften up the New England defence the longer the game went on.

Instead, the Seahawks called a pass play and quarterback Russell Wilson tried to force a ball on a slant to Ricardo Lockette. Had that pass been complete and Seattle won, its very possible that Chris Matthews, the former Winnipeg Blue Bomber, would have become the most unlikely Super Bowl MVP of all time. Matthews, who last played in the CFL during an injury-plagued 2013 season in which he dressed for just five games and caught only 14 passes, entered Super Bowl XLIX without an NFL reception, known mostly as the guy from the CFL who caught the onside kick two weeks ago that allowed the Seahawks to complete their comeback over the Green Bay Packers. But with Seattle’s offence absolutely stunted during the first half of the Super Bowl, it was Matthews who made a spectacular 44-yard catch that shifted field position and led to Seattle’s first score of the game. When the Seahawks rallied in the final minute of the first half to tie the game at 14-14, it was Matthews who made the touchdown catch. So by the time he went over 100 yards for the game during the third quarter, there was legitimate game MVP speculation. Instead, Matthews becomes a quirky footnote on a game that had enough storylines to obscure his still remarkable night. What stands out about Super Bowl XLIX beyond the dramatic ending is how two teams at the very top of their sport, and especially their respective quarterbacks, could appear so dominant at some instances of the game and so overwhelmed at others. Tom Brady set a Super Bowl record by completing 20 passes during the games first half, then went cold in the third quarter, which included his second interception of the game that led directly to a Seattle touchdown. He was eventually named the games MVP while setting a record for completions in a Super Bowl with 37, including his final 10 attempts. Russell Wilson completed just four passes in the entire first half and yet rallied his team with 17 unanswered points and a 10-point lead before throwing the pass that ended Seattle’s season in the most painful of ways. It was the kind of night that answers the question for anyone who still wonders why the NFL remains on top of the North American sports universe, despite concussions and issues of player conduct, despite Deflategate and players who openly question the integrity of the commissioner. In the end, on the biggest stage, with the lights on bright, the NFL delivered just what we wanted, like it so often does. ' ' '
