Video: Meet The Fan Of The Week

For those who follow our Bucs adventures here at TBO.com, you're probably already familiar with our Fan of the Week.

Phillip McCann is a regular on "The Plank" with his perpetual soundbites and stylish swashbuckling attire.

For the past 17 years, Phillip has been doing his duty for the Goode Club Sierra's volunteer krewe as the eco-friendly pirate that encourages fans to recycle their glass bottles and cans before entering the stadium.

"When I'm not out pillaging, plundering and otherwise pilfering me sleazy black guts out, oh and drinking rum, I can be found right here helping out the Tampa Sports Authority to keep a little order to this place because you know you've got this grogified lot going around partying like they was in Tortuga it takes a real pirate to handle them."

Once the game begins, Phillip can be found leading his fellow seafarers in singing "Yo Ho Ho" during Bucs timeouts.

Are you the loudest fan in your section? Do you have a season's supply of face paint, and have an artistic way of displaying your loyalty to the Bucs? Is your car - or bus, or RV - decked out in red and pewter?

If so, TBO.com is looking for you. Each week during the season, we will be on the lookout for a Fan Of The Week – someone who's not afraid of showing their true Bucs colors, and would like to be featured on TBO.com.

E-mail us if you'd like to be featured, and be sure to share your photos with other Bucs fans by uploading them to our Snap! fan photo gallery.
