    How Lot Sellers, Land Scammers, and Retirees Built Modern Florida and Transformed the American Dream

    par Jason Vuic ...

    Long before their first Super Bowl victory in 2003, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did something no NFL team had ever done before and that none will ever likely do again: They lost twenty-six games in a row. It started in 1976, in their first season as an expansion team, and it lasted until the penultimate game of the 1977 season, when they defeated Archie Manning and the New Orleans Saints on the road. ...
