Stamkos leads Lightning to a win over Montreal

October 16, 2019 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. First, he lectured them. Then he led them. And just like that, Steven Stamkos had provided further argument that he remains a leader of the Tampa Bay Lightning. After the Bolts’ lifeless loss to Ottawa on Saturday night, Stamkos chided other members of the Lightning. Then, on Tuesday night, he scored a […]

Looking back on Bucs’ loss to Panthers

October 15, 2019 general

5 Thoughts Maybe it’s just me, but any time the Bucs plan a stinker like Sunday’s, they can play it in Europe. The Ukraine is dying for meltdowns like that. 2. I’ve seen enough of Bobo Wilson returning punts. You wonder when a guy is nicknamed “Bobo” instead of “ghost” or “speedy.” 3. Does Vernon […]

Winston has horrible game as Bucs clobbered

October 14, 2019 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Here’s an idea: Why doesn’t England just keep him? After all the failures, after all the turnovers, maybe the Bucs shouldn’t save a seat for Jameis Winston on the plane home. Maybe they should leave him here with the rain and the traffic. Have you seen enough of Winston? There is a […]

Lightning doesn’t shoot, loses to Ottawa

October 13, 2019 general

Monday, 4 a.m. You can pass it. You can spin it. You can maneuver it up the ice. But until you actually shoot the puck, you probably aren’t going to win. The Tampa Bay Lightning, still struggling to get a foothold on the young season, had just five shots in the first period, and just […]

Late defensive stands lead USF’s victory

October 13, 2019 general

Sunday, 3 a.m. As victories go, this one was a keeper. This wasn’t against tiny South Carolina State. This wasn’t against weak UConn. This was against BYU, in a game where the offense came from behind and the defense made two great stands. Yes, BYU was playing with its second (and third) quarterbacks, but those […]

Can Bucs pull off sweep of Carolina?

October 12, 2019 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. There are reasons beyond the jet lag that the Bucs might have a tougher time against the Carolina Panthers than in their first meeting. It has been only since Week Two that the Bucs won a 20-14 game over the Panthers, stopping Christian McCaffrey on the goal line to preserve the win. […]

Astros end Rays season behind Cole

October 11, 2019 general

Friday, 4 am. When a season dies prematurely, all that is left is the autopsy. And so, as we examine the last breath of one of the best teams that the Rays have had, we come up with this. Gerrit Cole was too tough to ruffle. Tyler Glasnow was too easy to read. The Astros […]

Bucs travel to England with wounded line

October 11, 2019 general

Friday, 3 a.m. At full strength, the offensive line of the Tampa Bay Bucs had its problems. So far, the Bucs are averaging 3.9  yards per rush and have given up 18 sacks. But now, with two players out for Sunday’s game (Demar Dotson and Alex Cappa), the task gets harder. “It’s a big challenge […]

Point returns to lead Bolts to win over Leafs

October 11, 2019 general

Friday, 2 a.m. Well, hello old friend. And welcome back. If there was any question that the Lightning missed forward Brayden Point, he made it clear enough in the Lightning’s 7-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night. Playing his first game of the season after hip surgery, Point knocked in two goals and […]

How far can Rays’ Glasnow go against Astros?

October 10, 2019 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. In the Rays’ latest battle to remain alive in the American League playoffs, they will at least have one of their weapons for a little longer than expected. Tyler Glasnow, who missed most of the season with an arm injury, could throw as many as 90 pitches tonight when he faces Houston’s […]
