NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL ON THE GLAZER FAMILY

“The Glazers, first and foremost, are a close family that is very devoted to family and family values. They are also, quite obvi- ously, smart business managers and very successful in multiple arenas. They are engaging and fun to be around, and they give their time to league committees and issues that have helped us be a better league.

The Glazer family transformed the franchise after acquiring it in 1995. They have rebuilt it, given it a new look and created an entirely new and positive image. They put together an exciting winning team, including the franchise’s first Super Bowl appearance and victory during the 2002 season when the Bucs beat the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. The Bucs have been in the playoffs seven times under the Glazers, won four division titles, and had six 10-win seasons.

They also have ensured that the entire Bucs organization plays a strong role in serving the community. The Glazers lead a model program and have produced a winning franchise on and off-the-field. The Glazers also provided tremendous leadership in the building of an outstanding new stadium and a first-class team facility. They have been very instrumental in bringing multiple Super Bowls to the Tampa Bay community, including the great Steelers-Cardinals game.” 58 | THE GLAZER FAMILY TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS FRANCHISE (BEFORE AND AFTER) Prior to Glazer Bucs with Ownership Glazer Family (1976-94) (1995-2013) Category 19 seasons 19 seasons World Championships 0 1 NFC Championship Game Appearances 1 2 Regular Season Record 87-204-1 142-148 Winning Seasons 3 9 Playoff Appearances 3 7 10-Win Seasons 1 6 Division Titles 2 4 Playoff Victories 1 5 Home Playoff Games 2 4 Home Playoff Victories 1 3 Pro Bowl Honors 18 64 AP All-Pro First-Team Honors 2 19 Final Top 10 in Total Defense 3 11
