Who should make the Pro Bowl for Bucs?

November 19, 2020 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. There are a lot of things wrong with the Pro Bowl, a grand excuse for player to dress up and act like they’re playing football. In reality, it has as much to do with football as the movie “The Longest Yard.” But there is one cool thing about the Pro Bowl. Making […]

Bucs’ Jones has blossomed into a weapon

November 18, 2020 general

Wednesday, 4 p.m. The worst prognosticator in the world is your local weatherman. Despite all the radar, despite all the weather systems, that guy has zero idea of where a hurricane is going or where it will hit. It’s like God is throwing knuckleballs, and everything is a moving green screen. Me? I am second. […]

Looking back at the Bucs’ win over the Panthers

November 17, 2020 general

5 Thoughts I read where some people think that, despite his 300-yard game and three touchdowns,Tom Brady was “off” against the Panthers. Really? I think the problem is that, with Brady, we’ve come to expect perfection. He overthrows a deep receiver, and we want to remind everyone that we know how old he is. Just […]

Bucs rebound to beat Panthers in 2nd half

November 16, 2020 general

Monday, 4 a.m. They still are not as sharp as you would wish. They won big, but it wasn’t against the Saints. They had a fine time, but it wasn’t in prime time. On the other hand, the Bucs won Sunday. Can we return to sanity for a moment? Oh, for the last week, we […]

Trask stays hot as Gators spank Arkansas

November 15, 2020 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. The old quarterback looked pretty good, relatively speaking. He still has some arm. He can still move his team. But the new guy? The new guy has the world on his right bicep. Kyle Trask threw for 356 yards and six touchdowns Saturday night, leading the Florida Gators to an easy 63-35 […]

Bucs hope to bounce back to sweep Panthers

November 14, 2020 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. Sometimes, the wind blows the other direction. Sometimes, the coin lands on the opposite side. Some days you win. Some days you lose. And so it goes in pro football. Just because a team won in September doesn’t mean it will win in November. Just because Leonard Fournette had his best game […]

Bucs still searching for offensive identity

November 13, 2020 general

Friday, 4 a.m. Winning lasts a matter of seconds. It is over, and you grin, and you go back to work. Losing? Losing lingers. Ask Bucs’ quarterback Tom Brady, who has lost only 64 of 283 games over his career. The defeats can gnaw at you. “I remember pretty much all the losses,’ Brady said […]

Bucs search for answers after huge defeat

November 12, 2020 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. There for a while, the Tampa Bay Bucs were all about statements. Heck, on some Sundays, they came with exclamation points. Now, all there are are questions. Following a 38-3 flogging at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, the Bucs are a mass of interrogatives. They are a puzzle wrapped in […]

Some defeats can alter reality for a team

November 11, 2020 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. Everyone loses. Everyone feels dejected. Everyone blames everyone else. That’s nothing new. Heck, in Tampa Bay, we have seen the Bucs lose a staggering 427 times (plus nine playoff games). The sight of a lopsided scoreboard is not new to us. Ah, but then there are the losses that shatter your soul, […]
