Fitzpatrick was signed to win a game like Sunday’s

November 10, 2017 general

Friday, 3 a.m. For all of the noise that arrived with him, this is why he is here. To win a game. To keep the car out of the ditch. To keep a losing streak from eating a franchise alive. Ryan Fitzpatrick was never going to beat out Jameis Winston for the starting job. He […]

November 10, 2017 general

Friday, 2:30 a.m. The Tampa Bay Lightning, it seems, are just too hot for California to hold. The Bolts won its second impressive game in two nights Thursday, beating the also-hot Los Angeles Kings, 5-2. Tampa Bay had entered the game 12-2-2, and the Kings were 11-2-2.

November 10, 2017 College Sports in Florida

Friday, 2 a.m. Twenty years have passed. The volume has not ceased. Want to get up the dander of a University of Miami football fan? Want to hear a Notre Dame fan launch into the Victory March?

Is this the lowest point in Winston’s career?

November 9, 2017 general

Thursday, 3 a.m. It is a dark time in the career of Jameis Winston, quarterback. It’s late, it’s ugly and his night light is broken. He is hurt, a shoulder sprain that will keep him out two weeks. He is losing, five in a row and counting. He is not playing well; his quarterback rating […]

November 9, 2017 general

Thursday, 2 a.m. Everyone knows about Steven Stamkos. He’s been doing this for a while. Take Wednesday night, when Stammer added three assists to his league-leading point total, which is now at 28.

November 7, 2017 general

Monday, 3 a.m. 5 Observations 1. Jameis Winston will miss the two most winnable games on the rest of the Bucs’ schedule with an injury. Mike Evans will miss one with a suspension. Yet, it’s hard to argue with either. Except for a half against Buffalo, Winston has not been good. Sunday, Evans was the […]

November 6, 2017 general

Monday, 3 a.m. As they flail through the air, their arms akimbo and their voices in full scream, with the wind whistling past and the ground rushing to meet them, there is but one question that counts for the Tampa Bay Bucs.
