Bucs sign another kicker

Following Sunday's kicking debacle, the Bucs have signed Todd France to the practice squad. France was narrowly beat out by Matt Bryant during the preseason (the idiot that I am I originally thought France would win the competition). France, the younger of the two, got some of his first NFL duty earlier this season with the Eagles while Akers was injured.

I'm not going to dogpile on Bryant anymore (I've expended enough energy on this subject) but if Bryant is not ready to go against the Saints France will get the start. Bryant is still recovering from his pulled right hamstring, and his start Sunday is doubtful.
