Remember when the Raiders were mean?

December 7, 2024 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. Once, they were the football team you’d least like to encounter in a dark alley. Now, they are the cute little Las Vegas Raiders, a team that was all the rage back in the days of mood rings. Ah, the Raiders. Once, they were what the Hell’s Angels would be if they […]

Hagel leads Bolts to win over Sharks

December 6, 2024 general

Friday, 4 a.m. As a team, they are just finding their footing. No one is sure how good the current edition of the Tampa Bay Lighting is going to be. They can have gaps in the defense. They can overpass. They can lose their way in the third period. Then there are nights such as […]

Looking back on Bucs’ win over Panthers

December 3, 2024 general

5 Thoughts Bucky Irving keeps passing other Bucs on the top 10 list in franchise history. It’s almost as if the Bucs have added a new dimension to their offense. Also, he’s made the line come together. 2.  Liam Coen has done a fine job as offensive coordinator. But there are a lot sexier names […]

Bucs’ big moments get win over Panthers

December 2, 2024 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Yes, it was ugly. Yes, it was sloppy. Yes, the Bucs tried their best to make a hero out of  Bryce Young. On the other hand, the Tampa Bay Bucs had heroes. That’s how they were able to salvage a 26-23 overtime win over the Carolina Panthers Sunday evening. They had Anthony […]

Bolts comeback falls short against Leafs

December 1, 2024 general

Sunday, 5 a.m. … And one step back. The on-again, off-again Tampa Bay Lightning lost Saturday night. Of  course they did. After all, the team had won Friday, which made it defeat’s turn. That’s how the season has gone for the Bolts, a team that defies definition. Just when you think the Bolts are good, […]

Bulls lose badly to weak Rice

December 1, 2024 general

Sunday, 3 a.m. For Alex Golesh, there is more work to do. There is no argument that Golesh, coach of the USF Bulls, has elevated his team in his two seasons. But Saturday put a qualifier on the progress. The Bulls lost to Rice. Let that sink in for a minute. Rice. Content beyond this […]

Point measures up to overtime again

November 30, 2024 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. On his worse days, the ones where he is hurt, or weary, or ailing, Brayden Point is a fine hockey player. The rest of the time, he is sensational. Especially at the biggest of moments. Point struck again Friday night. Once again, with the score tied, in overtime, on a power play, […]

Bucs need to beware of stumble

November 29, 2024 general

Friday, 4 a.m. For the Tampa Bay Bucs, this qualifies as a trap game. The trappiest, perhaps. The Carolina Panthers have lived in the cellar for a while now. They’re stuck with a disappointment at quarterback. They have pretty much given away Christian McCafferty and Baker Mayfield in recent seasons. They’ve lost seven of their […]

Lightning see winnable game slip away

November 28, 2024 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. The Tampa Bay Lightning will spend their holiday asking one question. How in the world did they let this one slip away? They were home. They got a hat trick (officially) from Brayden Point. They took a 2-0 lead with Andrei Vasilevskiy in goal. Content beyond this point is for members only. […]

Looking back on Bucs’ win over Giants

November 26, 2024 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts What does it say about Baker Mayfield that his finest highlights aren’t really about passing the ball. They’re about stiff-arming Joey Bosa, or about delivering a downfield block. The guy is a competitor. Give him that. 2. I think Rachaad White is a fine player. I just think Bucky Irving […]
