Looking back at the Bucs loss to the Bills

October 24, 2017 general

Tuesday, 3 a.m. 5 Observations 1. It wasn’t the defeat that struck you so much in Sunday’s game. It was the suddenness, like the floor of the gallows disappearing. Buffalo is a team that is limited offensively, but it took only 45 seconds to cover 75 yards (about the same as a typical Bucs’ safety). […]

Bucs’ lead was gone in less than 60 seconds

October 23, 2017 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Forty-five seconds. The lead lasted 45 seconds. You can’t sell a new car in a TV add in 45 seconds. You can barely walk from your bedroom to your living room. You can’t play a short song. You can’t go to the bathroom. Forty-five seconds. All you can really do in that […]

Random thoughts: What’s in a nickname?

October 22, 2017 general

Sunday, 5 a.m. Bears’ rookie Mitch Trubisky picked up the worst nickname in the NFL. He’s the “Pretty Boy Assassin.” Nothing wrong with Assassin (as Jack Tatum would tell you). But I don’t think “Pretty Boy” is going to inspire fear. – What? Was “Lovely Flower” taken? – Halloween costume suggestion: Ronda Rousey. The kid […]

October 22, 2017 general

Sunday, 4:30 a.m. The USF Bulls, usually runaway winners, have to learn to finish. Games. And the season. The Bulls won their nation’s-best 12th game in a row Saturday night, beating Tulane 34-28. It was the team’s 24th straight game of scoring more than 30. Still, the victory wasn’t quite as clean as most USF […]

October 22, 2017 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. Convinced yet? Are you convinced that the Tampa Bay Lightning are off to a hot start? Are you convinced that Nikita Kucherov is a rising star? Are you convinced that Andrei Vasilelvskiy is the answer in goal? Are you convinced that Mikhail Sergachev is going to be an asset? Are you convinced […]

Tempers flare as FSU loses another close game

October 22, 2017 general

Another game lost, and the frustration is showing at Florida State. Shortly after the Seminoles lost their most recent game, a 31-28 decision to Louisville, a fan yelled down toward FSU coach Jimbo Fisher: “New coaches! New coaches!” Coach Jimbo Fisher yelled back to “bring you a– down here and say that!” And so it […]

October 21, 2017 general

Saturday, 2 a.m. The kid is tougher than you thought. The season is in more danger that you believed. The injury isn’t as dire as you suspected. The backup isn’t as trustworthy as you had hoped. It all adds up to Jameis Winston, starting again for the Tampa Bay Bucs on  Content beyond this point […]
