Looking back at the Bucs loss to the Bills

October 24, 2017 general

Tuesday, 3 a.m. 5 Observations 1. It wasn’t the defeat that struck you so much in Sunday’s game. It was the suddenness, like the floor of the gallows disappearing. Buffalo is a team that is limited offensively, but it took only 45 seconds to cover 75 yards (about the same as a typical Bucs’ safety). […]

Bucs’ lead was gone in less than 60 seconds

October 23, 2017 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Forty-five seconds. The lead lasted 45 seconds. You can’t sell a new car in a TV add in 45 seconds. You can barely walk from your bedroom to your living room. You can’t play a short song. You can’t go to the bathroom. Forty-five seconds. All you can really do in that […]

Random thoughts: What’s in a nickname?

October 22, 2017 general

Sunday, 5 a.m. Bears’ rookie Mitch Trubisky picked up the worst nickname in the NFL. He’s the “Pretty Boy Assassin.” Nothing wrong with Assassin (as Jack Tatum would tell you). But I don’t think “Pretty Boy” is going to inspire fear. – What? Was “Lovely Flower” taken? – Halloween costume suggestion: Ronda Rousey. The kid […]

Hurricanes hold off Syracuse to stay unbeaten

October 22, 2017 general

Sunday 1 a.m. There still may be lingering questions about the Miami Hurricanes and their series of close victories. In the fourth period, however, no one questions Mark Richt’s team. The Hurricanes ran their record to 6-0 Saturday, holding off a stubborn Syracuse team with a late touchdown to win 27-19. The Hurricanes have won […]

Can the Bucs delay you from talking about the draft?

October 19, 2017 general

Thurssday, 3 a.m. At a time like this, a guy walks gently to the phone. He dials the number carefully. He asks to talk to Mel. He orders his NFL draft book. Maybe some hair mousse while he’s at it. It is halfway through October. Is it time to think about the NFL draft already? […]

Looking back on the Bucs loss to Arizona

October 17, 2017 general

Tuesday, 3 a.m. 5 Observations 1. Adrian Peterson was terrific. So was Larry Fitzgerald. Carson Palmer, too. But I thought the best player on the field Sunday was Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who shut out Mike Evans before leaving with a quad injury. Still, the Arizona media was all over the pass coverage of the […]

Don’t let the score fool you; Cardinals clobber Bucs

October 15, 2017 general

Monday, 3 a.m. The run defense was bad. You know, 1986 bad. The pass defense was awful. You know, 1986 awful. The tackling was terrible. You know, 2011 terrible. After a whipping like this one, you can reference every bad season, every bad coach, and every bad player the Tampa Bay Bucs have ever had, […]

Random thoughts: Beware the stealth tweet

October 15, 2017 general

Sunday, 5 a.m. I thought it was amusing that Roger Goodell’s wife Jane had a secret twitter account to defend him. What are the odds she has a second secret twitter account she uses when he doesn’t clean up the bathroom? – I never thought Chris Foerster was much of a line coach. I just […]

Bucs’ Winston has finished games strongly

October 13, 2017 general

Friday, 4 a.m. In the first quarter, he walks on wobbly legs. In the second quarter, he is still finding his way. In the third quarter, he can be had. Ah, but in the final quarter, in the grand separator of what is ordinary and what is awesome, Jameis Winston becomes a quarterback. It is […]
