Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The hugely popular show has shown NFL teams during training camp over the last six summers. The New York Jets and HC Rex Ryan were featured last summer. The sources told ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas that the Buccaneers, HBO officials and officials from NFL Films, which produces the series, have had talks about this season's version. However, no deal has been finalized and players are currently locked out in a labor dispute. But HC Raheem Morris is known for his outgoing personality and could be a natural fit. Appearing on the show could also help the Bucs market young players like QB Josh Freeman, WR Mike Williams and RB LeGarrette Blount.
