FSU pulled a quick trigger in firing Taggert

November 6, 2019 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. For years, they were the smart team, the creative tam, the efficient team. Florida State won against the odds.

Looking back on the Bucs’ loss to Seattle

November 5, 2019 general

5 Thoughts Maybe it’s all the losing, but I think Bruce Arians is getting caught up in the speech of a losing coach. He keeps talking about how close the team is getting, and how many rookies he’s playing. and hw narrow the margin of victory is. It has always been a bottom line league. […]

Bolts lose again as slow start continues

November 2, 2019 general

Saturday, 4:30 a.m. The early season swoon of the Tampa Bay Lightning continues. Who knows where they have left their game, but perhaps it was in Sweden. Okay, maybe not.

Saturday, 4 a.m. They are filled with outrage over their plight. They are in a foul mood. The Tampa Bay Bucs are 2-5, and it seems, they aren’t happy about.

Bucs are sliding, but Leftwich says they’re better

November 1, 2019 general

Friday, 4 a.m. They have lost three in a row. They are giving up points like a pinball machine. Their quarterback is a mess.
