Random Thoughts: Sometimes, bad play is worse than politics

March 26, 2017 general

I’m a little weary of articles that act like there is a grand conspiracy to keep Colin Kaepernick out of the NFL. Kaepernick’s play did that, not his politics.

Now that free agency is mostly over, how did Bucs do?

March 23, 2017 general

x Thursday, 4 a.m. The shopping is done. The groceries are in the cart. The cashier has taken the money. And the Tampa Bay Bucs did well. Again. Didn’t they? Deshaun Jackson is a shiny new toy whose face should immediately go on the side of the stadium. Chris Baker seems like a solid player […]

This time, Aguayo will face real competition

March 20, 2017 general

Monday, 4 a.m. The clock is ticking. The air is getting thin. His palms are sweating. Ahead, in the distance, the goalposts are impossibly close together. If you squint, they  look like pool cues jutting out next to each other. The players are looking at you. The coach is looking at you. The fans are […]

Can Bucs buy an insurance policy at quarterback?

March 14, 2017 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. It’s the ugliest beauty contest ever held. It’s an auto race between wrecks. It’s a collection of misfits to rival the Usual Suspects, only without Keyser Soze. Poor Jason Licht. What kind of bargains are left for a backup quarterback? Look over there. It’s Jay Cutler, who doesn’t have an ounce of […]
