The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 1-8 and the New Orleans Saints are 9-0, so you'd think the Bucs would avoid talking any trash about the Saints as the teams prepare to play on Sunday.

Actually, Bucs tight end Kellen Winslow is talking trash toward Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, saying that when the two were teammates at the University of Miami, Vilma couldn't cover him in practice -- and, according to Winslow, neither could any of the other players on the Hurricanes' defense.

"You can ask Vilma man, Vilma couldn't guard me. D.J. [Williams] couldn't guard me. Sean Taylor couldn't guard me, respect, but none of those guys could guard me," Winslow said. "It is what it is. They'll tell you the same thing. Vilma probably won't, but yeah I owned those guys."

Winslow, who laughed as he said his comments were "all in fun," is having one of his best NFL seasons in his first year in Tampa Bay, with 42 catches for 454 yards and five touchdowns this year. Some Saints players may now have some extra motivation to slow him down on Sunday.

That is hilarious. Some good ribbing between former teammates is fine with me.

While I don't think it was Joey Porter level trash talking, you know Vilma is going to have something to say about it, on the field.

Nah, they're both 'canes. That clan is very close. Just ask Shockey.

lol.....all it takes is one hit and winslow is out for the year

vilma only has to cover him once.....even moreso than that.....id almost rather get hit by vilma than by roman harper, who will be covering him a lot

Yeah, you know..slightly off topic but I was discussing who hits harder with a friend the other day and I was leaning towards Harper. Granted i'm a Bama fan, lol ...but Harper has crushed some guys the past few seasons.

As bad as their qb is he might want to worry about being stuck out to dry and having his head taken off by Vilma.

And Sharper's got Villma's back... yikes.

I'll bet Vilma can ride a motorcycle quite a bit better.

Some friendly trash talk, but don't be surprised to see Vilma destroy somebody on Sunday. Can't wait.
