Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Micheal Spurlock<\/strong> believes he is fortunate despite being part of the current NFL lockout.<\/p>\n

Spurlock<\/strong> lives in Mississippi, a state that has been hit by the floods from the Mississippi River. Spurlock<\/strong>, however, is happy his home and family have not been victimized by the rising water.<\/p>\n

Spurlock is from Indian-ola, located in the Mississippi Delta in the northwest section of the state.<\/p>\n

“It’s a blessing that none of my family has been affected by it. They have been getting a lot of rain, but nothing serious,” Spurlock<\/strong> said when reached by phone on Thursday. “They’ve had tornadoes nearby, but the only thing that has hit them has been the rain and wind.<\/p>\n

“It’s a blessing and a curse because a lot of other families have been losing their houses and a lot of things because of the flood. Directly, I haven’t been affected, but indirectly a lot of people working at casinos have been affected. I have a friend that lives in Greenville (Miss.) and works at the casino (Harlow’s) and he’s supposed to be laid off for six months. Indirectly, I’ve been affected.”

Spurlock<\/strong> said he was in Tampa two weeks ago working out with quarterback Josh Freeman, but returned home to his family.<\/p>\n

Spurlock<\/strong> said he has been working out individually each day at home and preparing for the lockout to eventually end.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been in it long enough and I know what it takes to keep my body in shape,” Spurlock<\/strong> said. “Even without catching the football, running routes, I’ve been working on little things. I’ve done a little running. My cardio is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
