Craig Shemon here, with the Shemon and Sheppard Show playing Wiki-Pete-ia every weekday at 4:45-ish on ESPN Southwest Florida!  We take a topic that is usually relevant, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and come up with quiz questions in order to stump Pete.  (Technically, since Pete is on vacation this week we will use Chris for this competition.  Unofficially, we will call it Chris-ipedia!). We pit him against an audience member each day.  May the best man or woman win in Bucs trivia!

In case you are not fortunate enough to be lucky caller number nine at 239-337-ESPN, then you are in luck!  Play at home and dazzle your family!  Stump your co-workers with useless knowledge!  Amaze your friends with your newfound intelligence!  Below are the actual questions AND ANSWERS heard during Wiki-Pete-ia on our show.

Today's topic involves the 2021 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a reigning championship team attempting to defend its title.  The Bucs quest came up a bit short.  However, as we look forward to carrying the ageless Tom Brady and the Bucs radio broadcasts again this season on ESPN Southwest Florida, we take one more look back at last year with Wiki-Pete-ia.    It is time for a refresher coarse!
