as of 5:40pm EST, the Gainesville Sun (GatorSports.com) is up and running with a low-graphic/high-traffic format and a half-dozen new articles — including some post-resignation quotes from Steve.

Grbac jumped at the deal, and a few days later Johnson signed with the Buccaneers. On Saturday night (ABC, 9:00 ET) Grbac and Johnson face off when Tampa Bay (8-6) hosts Baltimore (9-5). Each team needs a win to qualify for the playoffs; Johnson needs a victory to prove to Billick that he made the wrong choice last spring.
