Martin speaks, but withholds the details

May 26, 2017 general

Friday, 4 a.m. He darted around the first question. He dodged the second one. There in the open field, he juked around the third. With Doug Martin, this counts as progress.

A few thoughts about backup quarterbacks

May 25, 2017 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. In the beginning, it started with a guy with the unlikely nickname of Paydirt. What more could you ever ask of a backup quarterback? This is where jobs are won.

Another Super Bowl heads to Tampa

May 24, 2017 NFL

Wednesday, 4 a.m. You probably won’t get to the game. A ticket costs a fortune, and watching it at home is free. You won’t be invited the parties, the ones where the guy who once played Leonard’s cousin on the Big Bang Theory is singing. You won’t spot the celebrities. You won’t go to Media […]

May 3, 2017 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. Sometime early in his career, perhaps the first time he sets foot in Raymond James Stadium, O.J. Howard is sure to look toward the sky.

April 30, 2017 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. The burning question is this: Are the Bucs a better football team? You can cheer the guys they drafted. You can lament the guys who got away. You can shake your head and ask about the offensive line or an edge rusher or a backup quarterback. But in the end, it comes […]
