Yes, Jason Pierre-Paul has something left

April 6, 2018 general

Friday, 4 a.m. In Tampa Bay, we have learned not to trust the off-season. The Bucs lead the league in “it-was-a-good-idea-at-the-time” signings.

March 25, 2018 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. The more you think about it, the more the prospect of trading down makes sense for the Tampa Bay Bucs. 1) The top six seem set with three quarterbacks, Saquon Barkley, Bradley Chubb and Quenton Nelson. 2) According to most mocks, that puts the highest grades on safeties Derwin James and Minkah […]

Pierre-Paul thinks he’ll make a difference for Bucs

March 24, 2018 general

Saturday, 3 a.m. You imagine the front four, all shiny and new. You imagine them staring at the quarterback, and their teeth are long. You imagine them collapsing the pocket. You imagine the linebackers, sleek and fast. You imagine them cleaning up behind a stronger line, a fiercer line. You imagine what third-and-12 might look […]

March 23, 2018 general

Friday, 3 a.m. By its nature, it is a profession that demands a blend of skills. There is the quickness of the start. There is the strength of the initial engagement.

Will the final chapter be kind to Lightning?

March 22, 2018 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. Juliet died. The Godfather made amends. The Death Star blew up. Hannibal had a friend for dinner. Rick put Ilsa on the plane. Private Ryan lived to be old. We are all about the endings. The rest of the story, really, is just details. Rocky lost, then he won, then he made […]

March 14, 2018 general

Wednesday, 3 a.m. For the Tampa Bay Buc, the key to getting better is to re-sign the players they already had.
