Bucs should be interested in RGIII, but just a bit

November 29, 2014 Tampa Bay Bucs

If you forget about the last 18 games, and if you forget about the indecision, and if you forget about the way he has played his way out of the town that once elected him savior, then yeah, you might suggest that Robert Griffin III makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, if […]

Weekend preview…hitting to all fields

November 27, 2014 College Sports in Florida

In Tallahassee… He is the best player on the last unbeaten team left standing. Most years, that would make you the Heisman Trophy favorite. He has engineered four come-from-behind victory and a game winning drive. Most years, that means it’s time to buy a suit for the presentation ceremoney. He is the defending winner. Most […]

Hey, didn’t you used to be Doug Martin?

November 25, 2014 Tampa Bay Bucs

TAMPA Looking back, no one remembers the details of his features. That’s because, for the longest time, Doug Martin was a blur. Back when he was a rookie, no one saw Martin standing still. He was always in motion – so good,  so fast, so elusive — that it seemed as if the Tampa Bay […]

The best Bucs’ QB? It’s a debate without a winner

November 24, 2014 general

Some arguments are silly. Some arguments are pointless. Some arguments don’t have a defendable position available. This one, for instance: Josh McCown vs. Mike Glennon. Yikes. I know, I know. We are in the final third of a wasted season, and you would like very much to find something to care about. This guy vs. […]

McCown struggles as the Bucs blow an opportunity

November 23, 2014 Tampa Bay Bucs

Looking back, perhaps Josh McCown should have saved his tears. This week, a lot of people might have wept along with him. After watching the Tampa Bay Bucs hand one over to the Chicago Bears, he could have led a cry-along. McCown had perhaps the worst day a quarterback with 341 yards passing has ever […]

Sure Lovie wants last laugh. He just won’t say it

November 22, 2014 general

When Thor was thrown out of Asgard, it mattered. All those years that Napoleon spent on Elba, it mattered. When Lance Armstrong had his bike taken away from him, it mattered. So, yeah, if you want to guess, Sunday probably means a lot to Lovie Smith. Of course it does. How could it not? Time […]

Bucs, Bears share history with Angelo

November 21, 2014 general

Half of his DNA belongs to the Bucs. The other half belongs to the Bears. This week, in particular, what is a guy to do? Jerry Angelo looks into his coffee cup and smiles. He sits at a restaurant in south St. Petersburg and laughs about the good times, some of them here, some of […]

Finally, McCown turns tears into triumph

November 19, 2014 Tampa Bay Bucs

TAMPA Somewhere beyond the tears, somewhere on the other side of the fire, we have learned something about the quarterback-for-now. Somewhere in the middle, we have learned there is something to like about Josh McCown, after all. No, he is not everything you want in a quarterback. He is not young, and his arm is […]

Bucs should win despite their draft position

November 18, 2014 Tampa Bay Bucs

The air smells cleaner. The sun shines brighter. The music plays a little louder. For the moment, the Tampa Bay Bucs have stopped the laughter. For once, they have won a football game. Yay. Just like that, their plan looks sharper, their coach seems smarter and their future looks better. The winning streak is at […]

To win, the Bucs need to be in a rush

November 17, 2014 general

TAMPA The distance between success and failure isn’t that far, really. You can measure it in the length of your driveway. In the width of a small bedroom. Less than the distance of swimming pool. From here to there. It’s that tantalizingly close. Most weeks, you can almost reach out and touch it. It’s the […]
