Bucs Boosters Behind Busted Backstreet Boy

Backstreet bad boy Nick Carter performed the national anthem before Sunday night's nationally televised Bucs-Eagles game at Raymond James Stadium. Carter received a rousing round of applause for his performance, unlike the greeting his band got at the Ice Palace after it sang at the 1999 NHL All-Star Game. Fresh off his arrest outside Channelside's Pop City nightclub, Carter belted out the tune and then stuck around to watch the Bucs lose 17-13. Carter was arrested Wednesday for resisting arrest without violence following an argument outside the nightclub. The misdemeanor charge will require Carter to appear in court March 4. The former Ruskin resident is a longtime Bucs fan. Long before his band sold millions of records, he used to perform as a solo act at games at the old Tampa Stadium. During the band's tour to support their multiplatinum album ``Millennium'' a few years ago, Carter appeared on stage at the Ice Palace sporting a No. 87 jersey of former Tampa Bay wide receiver Bert Emanuel. Carter openly gushed at the sight of Bucs defensive tackle Warren Sapp when the two played in a celebrity basketball game last year at the University of South Florida's Sun Dome. He also has boldly predicted - on more than one occasion - a Bucs Super Bowl appearance. Carter isn't a stranger to Raymond James Stadium. The Backstreet Boys sang the national anthem before last year's Super Bowl between Baltimore and the New York Giants. The pop group watched the game from a luxury suite. Carter cheered for former Bucs quarterback Trent Dilfer and held up a handmade sign with Dilfer's No. 8 scribbled on it, flashing it to the crowd anytime Dilfer did something good. As for his seats for Sunday's game, Carter reportedly watched from the Glazers' suite. Maybe they told him who the Bucs' coach will be next season. Comment on this item.
