Bucs don’t rank high in position comparisons

September 3, 2018 general

Monday, 3 a.m. Remember this. Write it down. Take a picture of the power ratings.

Can this Bucs’ roster make you care?

September 2, 2018 general

Sunday, 1:50 a.m. Here’s the question you have. Now that you know the 53-man roster of the Tampa Bay Bucs, are they any good? Can these 53 beat the Saints? Can they make the playoffs? Can they save Dirk Koetter’s job. We’ll see. Oh, the 53-man roster that the Bucs kept won’t last, of course. […]

Looking back at the preseason loss to Jacksonville

September 1, 2018 general

5 Observations 1. My eyes hurt. Someone owes me three hours. I’d rather watch fruit rot. I’d rather  dig up Jeffrey Dahmer’s back yard. I’d rather see my doctor snap on his rubber glove.

Who will make the Bucs’ final 53-man roster?

August 28, 2018 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. It sounds as if there will be plenty of room, doesn’t it? Fifty-three players? What’s hard about that? Why, from 1991-2007, NFL teams had only 45 players..
