Still no sellouts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A team spokesman said the first home preseason game Thursday against New England will be blacked out. The announcement came Monday due to the pace of ticket sales. Some fans criticized the Bucs last year when reports of blackouts were announced before the 72-hour deadline. A team official said employees who deal with ticket sales are good at estimating game-day walkup sales and understanding whether a game will sell out before the 72-hour kickoff rule.
