September 6, 2015 College Sports in Florida

Hello, I’m Tim Tebow. And you know, I hear Canada is fine this time of year. – One reason John McEnroe vs. Serena Williams wouldn’t be as big a deal as Bobby Riggs vs. Billie Jean King. These days, tennis isn’t as big. – Alex Rodriguez is hitting .157 since August 1. Think he needs […]

Why does Goodell want to be the judge, anyway?

September 4, 2015 NFL

Friday, 6 a.m. Why does Roger Goodell need the grief? He makes plenty of money. He gets good seats to all the nice games. He attends the fanciest parties. His name is on all the footballs. The owners love him because he turns their nickels into quarters. So why isn’t it enough? Why on earth […]

Days of the Dolphins: Life on the Miami beat

September 3, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. The chair was black and beaten, a survivor of the wars. It stood in a corner of Don Shula’s old office at Nova University, weathered by time and worn by abuse. It was lined and faded, as if it had been stitched together from old leather helmets. There was nothing stately about […]

Where, exactly, will Bucs’ defense be better?

September 2, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. Try not to think about the new quarterback for a minute. Try not to think about the offensive coordinator. Or the refocused running back. Or the rebuilt offensive line. Try not to think of the mismatches the wide receivers might create. Think, instead, of defense. Think of pass-rushers and open-field tacklers and […]

Bucs’ Koetter recognizes bad, must bring better

September 1, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. He was brought in to make the right call.

Bucs’ Winston still looks like a work in progress

August 31, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. If the preseason is a clue, he has work to do. If the practice games are an indication, he will take some time to grow. In the case of Jameis Winston, are you prepared for that?

Defense would be the key to another Bucs’ rise

August 28, 2015 general

Friday, 6 a.m. Back then, we were hoping for an offense, too. Back then, it was a defense that grew great while we were barely watching. It happens this way. Watching the National Football League is to be mesmerized by the quarterbacks, and by the great running backs, and by the elusive wide receivers. Watching […]
