Monday, 4 a.m. It was embarrassing. It was unwatchable. It was absurd. Also, ditto. It was sloppy. It was uninspired. It was disappointing. Again. You’ve heard this before, but the Tampa Bay Bucs are stuck in a rut right out of the Raheem Morris resume, only with more on-paper talent. They are a team that […]

October 23, 2022 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. It wasn’t their best game. It wasn’t even a very good one. For the Lightning, however, it was a win, and a move back to .500. For now, that’s enough. The Bolts finally shook the New York Islanders Saturday night in a 5-3 victory, their second in 48 hours. That improved the […]

October 22, 2022 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. Yeah, the Lightning needed someone besides Steven Stamkos to carry the load. Give credit to Brayden Point. He got the point.

Even Bucs should handle Carolina Sunday

October 21, 2022 general

Friday, 4 a.m. Eventually, they have to win again. Right? Someday, perhaps soon, Tom Brady will go back to being Tom Brady, and Mike Evans will catch a lot of passes and the offense will somehow pick up a third and one. Won’t they? For a month now, the Bucs have been spinning their wheels. […]

October 18, 2022 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts I don’t think missing a walkthrough made Tom Brady play badly. But between his training camp vacation, his weekly days off and turning into a wedding crasher, I do wonder this: How “all” is “all in?” 2. Just for old times’ sake, could we try risking it for, say, half […]

Bucs lose to outmanned Pittsburgh

October 17, 2022 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Here’s a question. Just how many Pittsburgh Steelers would have had to miss the game Sunday for the Tampa Bay Bucs to have a chance?
