December 13, 2015 College Sports in Florida

Hi, I’m Jose Canseco, and I think we should bomb the polar ice caps on Mars. And I think Battlestar Galactica was a documentary. – If Johnny Manziel really is a frat boy, I think he’s Neidermeyer. – If he had it to do over again, Stu Sternberg wouldn’t have to buy the Rays for […]

December 11, 2015 general

Friday, 12:38 a.m. Okay, no one speaks too soon. But we might have a sighting at the elusive Tampa Bay Lightning. Finally. The Lightning certainly looked enough like last year’s team in a 4-1 bashing of Ottawa Saturday night. Nikita Kucherov was scoring, and the Triplets were reunited, and Ben Bishop was on his game.

Random Thoughts: What would the Rays pay Price?

December 6, 2015 general

Hi, I’m the linesman in the Clemson-North Carolina game, and does anyone know what those stripes on the field are for? Offsides? – David Price could be making $31 million a year with the Rays, of course. All he would need would be the right six numbers and Lotto to climb to $28 million a […]

November 26, 2015 general

Thursday, 12:16 a.m. You know how big Lightning forward Jonathan Marchessault is? He’s as big as a shootout. He’s as big as a winning streak. He’s as big as his moment on Wednesday night. Marchessault, the diminutive (he’s listed at 5-9, 175) player) has been fairly large for the Lightning lately. His assist set up […]
