32 seasons, 1,902 tries and 512 games. That's all it took for the Tampa Buccaneers and Micheal Spurlock to return their 1st ever kickoff touchdown. Credit the Atlanta Falcons who followed the lead of their coach and have officially quit on the season as well

Not Even The Bucs Knew Who Returned That Kickoff For Them Yesterday — AwfulAnnouncing
This isn't nearly as funny as the team of Vasgersian and Pearson calling him Morgan Spurlock (true story), but it's close. The Tampa Bay Bucs Website can't seem to figure out who this Michael Spurlock character is or where he's even from. Via SbB... I'm not even sure which one to believe. One has his first name as Michael and one as Micheal, and he's from Mississippe? Shouldn't that have ...
SPURLOCK MAKES HISTORY, ROBOT NAMED — Epic Carnival | Where Sports and Pop Culture Collide
There aren't many things that have never, ever happened in the history of football. This afternoon, Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Micheal Spurlock returned a first-quarter kick 90 yards for a touchdown to give his team a 14-3 lead over the Atlanta Falcons. It took 1,865 attempts over 32 seasons, but the Bucs have finally scored on a kickoff return . For the first time. Ever. Way to go, guys! ...
HOLY SHIT! — Bucstats.com
Micheal Spurlock returns the first kickoff for a touchdown in team history. Congratulations. I guess it just goes to show you never know who is going to step up and make a difference.
Chris Berman is sad today because now he has to find some other crutch to lean on when he talk about the Bucs.
(for those who are asking, the number is 1,883 kickoffs without a touchdown.)
Petrino's Quitting Has Falcons Fired Up to Beat Saints — FanHouse
We know this Falcons team was never going to be a playoff team, but today we might get an idea of how bad the talent is, and how bad the head coach was.
After Bobby Petrino quit and fled on Tuesday, the Falcons players finally felt comfortable spelling out all the problems they had with Petrino. And beyond his absolute lack of communication skills, his scowl that never lightened and his ...
The Saints Are Making Me Thirsty! — I Dislike Your Favorite Team
When I wrote my Marx-inspired NFL Wildcard preview, the Saints hadn't played against the Falcons. I suppose I should have been more thorough in my investigation of an NFC that's as wide-open for the taking as a Raiders fan drinking away the pain.
The Saints knocked off a Falcons team led by a coach who had already quit. That brought them to 6-7; their unimpressive 5-4 conference record gives

It was a sickening sight. Bobby Petrino quit as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons yesterday and today he was doing a Woo Pig Sooey cheer with his new team at the University of Arkansas. I don’t know how this guy can show his face in public let alone flaunt it at a press conference for the Razorbacks. You know my feelings on the situation. I expressed them ...
Petrino Pouts and Quits — Sportable.com
It didn’t take long for Bobby Petrino to up and quit on his Atlanta Falcons team after Monday night’s loss to the Saints. Less than 24 hours after the game had ended, Petrino had resigned from the Falcons head coach position and had accepted the job to coach at Arkansas next season. It didn’t take long for my opinions about Petrino to stoop to Nick Saban-esque levels.

Sooooeeeeey Pig Petrino — The Power Alley -- A Blog of All Sports!
Even before learning this morning Bobby Petrino quit his job as Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons - before the season even ended - to take a similar position at the University of Arkansas ...if you were playing word association with me and said his name, my first response would be "unloyal." It seemed from the moment he first became a Head Coach at Louisville several years back, all you ever ...

Petrino Joins Exclusive Club — Deuce of Davenport | Sports News, Commentary, Humor, Videos
By now you've all read that Bobby Petrino has quit 13 games into his first season as an NFL coach to go become the head coach at Arkansas. This got me wondering, what other NFL coaches had quit in the middle of his first season as an NFL head coach...that list was small. Since the AFL/NFL merger, only one coach quit in the middle of a season, Lou Holtz. Coincidentally, Lou went to go coach ...
