Will a real quarterback do in Belichick, too?

February 3, 2017 general

Friday, 4 a.m. This is where Nick Saban sat. Perhaps Bill Belichick should get comfortable. There Saban was, on the verge on history. His dynasty was about to add another trophy.

Here’s betting on Lynch to make an impact again

January 31, 2017 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. He was one of the top handful of safeties ever to play the game. He’s smart. He’s driven. He studies the game. He made an impact like a hammer falling from a building. Yeah, I can tell why so many people doubt John Lynch today. Why, the 49ers were much better off […]

Tampa Bay, once again, is a cradle of losing

January 27, 2017 general

Friday, 4 a.m. Here in the wilderness, we wait. Crickets chirp. Coyotes howl. Tumbleweeds blow past. A funeral march plays. Somewhere in the distance, we hear there are playoffs, but we’ll have to take your word for it. In other cities, confetti falls. In Tampa Bay, it is the sky. Boy, are we bad. How […]

Bucs’ Licht tries to avoid Grigson’s errors

January 26, 2017 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. It is unclear just how closely Jason Licht was paying attention last week when Indianapolis Colts general manager Ryan Grigson was fired.

Ready for a Super Bowl filled with contrasts?
