Panthers kicker Graham Gano has close encounter with Bethune-Cookman band

TAMPA, Fla. -- The band is on the field ... again.

A curious moment happened during halftime of the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. The Bethune-Cookman marching band was a late arrival onto the field at the break, with about three minutes prior to the start of the second half before members began high-stepping toward midfield. By that point, Panthers kicker Graham Gano was warming up near an end zone.

Gano didn't give ground, either. A man has the right to work, correct?
