October 12, 2024 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. With a regular team, your confidence would be going throuh the roof by now. The New Orleans Saints, alas, are down to a warm body at quarterback.

October 9, 2024 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. He has a Hall of Famer’s resume. He is big, and he fast, and he has the ability to take over a football game. He spits out 1,000-yard seasons like a photo copier. But do you think the New Orleans Saints are aware of what kind of impact Mike Evans can have? […]

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 […]

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
