Point’s dazzling goal lifts Lightning

December 14, 2022 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. He was a waterbed, dashing and darting, zigging and zagging, embarrassing the Seattle players who watched him flash past. He was a spark from the fireplace, flashing and flying, skittering through the maze in front of him. He was Brayden Point, and this was the goal you will remember him by. Content […]

Looking back on the Bucs’ loss to the 49ers

December 13, 2022 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts For the first time all season, I do not think the Bucs will win the NFC South, as miserable as it is. Think about it. Tampa Bay is worse than this division. 2. No, the Bucs are a slumbering giant waiting to wake up. They’re a bad, poorly coached football […]

49ers humble bumbling Bucs in 35-7 win

December 12, 2022 general

Monday, 4 a.m. They lost, because they were not fast enough to win. They lost, because they were not strong enough to win. They lost, because they were not good enough to win. And, most important, they lost because they were not smart enough to win. The Bucs were clobbered on Sunday. Embarrassed. Humbled. Bullied. […]

Bolts beat rival Panthers once again

December 11, 2022 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. For years, the Florida Panthers have chased. Always, it seems, the Tampa Bay Lightning taunt them. The Panthers made trades with the Lightning in mind. They build lines with the Lightning in mind. Turns out, the Panthers have a little more work to do. The Lightning took a 4-1 victory over Florida […]

49ers favored to defeat Tampa Bay

December 10, 2022 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. The juxtaposition is amazing. Mr. Fantastic against Mr. Irrelevant. The legend against the rookie. The man of seven Super Bowls against the kid with zero starts. And yet, there is so much more that favors the San Francisco 49ers over the Tampa Bay Bucs on Sunday. Content beyond this point is for […]

Strong third period leads Lightning win

December 9, 2022 general

Friday, 4 a.m. When they are on their game, this is how the third period looks. Smart. Efficient. Deadly. Say this for the Tampa Bay Lightning. When they are at their best, they close the door. They smother. They swarm. The Bolts again dominated a third period Thursday night, scoring three times to close out […]

Purdy is raw, but he’s a threat to Bucs

December 8, 2022 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. He has never started an NFL game, not that anyone really expected him to. He has completed all of 29 passes. He has two whole touchdown passes, which id only 638 behind Tom Brady, the other guy. There were 261 players drafted before him last year. Yeah, Brock Purdy has the NFL […]

Giveaways doom Lightning against Wings

December 7, 2022 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. A giveaway, they call it. For the Tampa Bay Lightning, it has never been more fitting. The simplest of plays — a pass from here to there — eluded the Bolts in Tuesday night’s 4-2 loss to Detroit. They could not manage the puck, and as a result, they could not manage […]

Looking back on Bucs’ win over Saints

December 7, 2022 general

Tuesday, 3 a.m. 5 Thoughts “1. I know Tom Brady had a bad game, and I know fans are upset at a 6-6 record. But if you’re one of those who suggest the Bucs bench the best quarterback ever to play Kyle Trask, who has never thrown an NFL pass, you should have your opinion […]
