Looking back on the Bucs loss to the Falcons

October 5, 2024 general

5 Thoughts Every time I watch the Bucs’ secondary, I’m reminded of the Minions. Only, you know, not as physical. Five hundred and nine yards? And they say real estate comes at a price. 3. So Todd Bowles’ team had the ball four times in the fourth quarter trying to run down the clock. The […]

October 4, 2024 general

Friday, 4 a.m. The crucial field goal in overtime. The tying kick with a second to play. The facemask penalty that wasn’t called as time ran out.

Thursday, 4 a.m. The victories of the Tampa Bay Bucs keep mounting. So, too, do their injuries. Sooner or later, the second fact might catch up with the first.

Rose leaves mixed feelings; others will, too

October 2, 2024 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. All that is left of him is the controversy. The lies, gone. The controversy, erased. The memories, faded.

Looking back on Bucs’ win over Eagles

October 1, 2024 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts There are a few requirements to help the Bucs win a game. Sacks. The average yards per rush by an opponent. The opposing quarterback’s grade.

September 30, 2024 general

Monday, 3 a.m. They ended up losing, again. They ended up not scoring. They ended up not driving in runs when they were in scoring position. They ended up…not enough. Which, you know, is fitting. The Rays lost 3-1 to Boston in the season’s final game, and it resembled a lot of the 82 times […]

September 29, 2024 general

Sunday, 3 a.m. Turns out, you don’t have to be a Top 10 team to wallap the USF Bulls. The Bulls had lost a pair of games to Alabama and Miami, each time keeping close for a while until their opponentr pulled away. This time, they were barely in the game before falling 45-10 times […]
