Gruden aims to pay back Tampa against the team he helped create

TAMPA Bay broke the bank to get coach Jon Gruden from Oakland last year, and next Sunday Gruden will lead the Buccaneers in their first Super Bowl — against a Raiders team he himself shaped.

"Gruden created this team," Oakland's Lincoln Kennedy said.

"In one way or another he created this team. Over the last four years he was here, and of course he had input in creating what we got as far as draft choices."
