Fox Sports' broadcasting team of Aikman and Joe Buck will be calling both of those games and that means a lot of national exposure for Tampa Bay in its first three games for a team that lost its final 10 games last season in horrible fashion. While he was taking notes on the young Bucs, Aikman had some good things to say about quarterback Josh Freeman. "I liked Josh a lot when he was coming into the league," said Aikman.
