Three days after coach Raheem Morris benched Brian Price because of a personal foul penalty, the second-year defensive tackle of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers apologized to club owners, management and Morris for losing his poise. Price was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the final play of the third quarter in Sunday's 38-19 loss to Carolina, giving the Panthers a first down instead of a third-and-14 situation deep in their territory. Price was promptly removed from the game by Morris and walked into the tunnel that leads to the Tampa Bay locker room at Raymond James Stadium. "It's kind of like getting a whipping from your dad,'' Price said Wednesday. "You don't really take it too personal. He's my coach and I love him to death. I love playing for him and I love the team and I just want to apologize to the owners and (GM) Mark Dominik and Raheem. I let my emotions get the best of me.'' Source: Tampa Tribune
