January 3, 2020 general

Friday, 4 a.m. I always said that Sam Wyche had a great personality. The problem was that he had about 17 of them, and you could never count on coming upon the right one. Sam, the former Bucs and Bengals coach, died Thursday, and he took all of his personalities with him. The funny guy. […]

What should the Bucs do about Jameis?

January 2, 2020 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. Does he think about 33 touchdowns? Or does he think about 30 interceptions. It’s an easy day for Jameis Winston. His Bucs are out of regular-season games, and there are no playoffs to be had. He just made a ton of money and threw for a ton of yards. His team won […]

Looking back on the Bucs loss to the Falcons

December 31, 2019 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts Isn’t it interesting that the thought of re-signing Jameis Winston is the “win now” option. Winston has won 28 of 70 games. Wouldn’t that be “win someday…maybe?” 2.

December 31, 2019 general

Tuesday, 3 a.m. For most of the season, he was just another guy for the Florida Gators. Another face in the team photo. Another piece of the puzzle. Then came the Orange Bowl. And Lamical Perine became a star. Perine led the Gators in rushing this season (they were last in the SEC), but he […]

December 30, 2019 general

Monday, 4 a.m. It was the final insult, the final stake into the heart of his team. It was the latest defeat, the most recent case of throwing it to the wrong team. It was a play that will sit with the Bucs, and their followers, for some time to come. Jameis Winston’s freshest interception […]

Lightning finally wake up, rally to beat Montreal

December 29, 2019 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. Things that are slow: Tortoises. Snails. Glaciers. Sloths. Oh, and on Saturday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning barely seemed aware that their game against the Montreal Canadiens had begun Saturday night.
