Can Golesh make USF matter once again?

December 28, 2022 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. In college football, all that matters, really, are the playoffs. Anything else is just a side order of fries, Conference titles don’t mean anything, and non-playoff bowl games don’t matter and rivalry games don’t matter.

December 27, 2022 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts Let’s face it. For most of the game (and month), Tom Brady has been brutal. But the dozens of posts on a fan website who called for him to get benched in favor of Kyle Trask, who has never thrown an NFL pass, or Blaine Gabbert, who has thrown too […]

Brady, Bucs salvage sloppy game against Cards

December 26, 2022 general

Monday, 4 a.m. For most of the night, he looked dreadful. His team, too. For most of the night, he seemed unfocused, unsettled, uncomfortable. He spent most of the night going uphill, trying to make something out of nothing. He missed opportunities repeatedly. For a change, he looked his age. And when you thought that […]

Can Brady make another title run?

December 24, 2022 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. Is he nearing the end? This end, of course. Is Tom Brady, for all his celebrity, for all his yardage, down to three games with the Tampa Bay Bucs? Is his lease up? Is he down to his last 1,000 yards or so? Is he ready to head to parts unknown? Perhaps. […]

Bucs face another rookie quarterback

December 23, 2022 general

Friday, 4 a.m. You’ve seen this movie before. Wide-eyed kid comes off the bench. He has no resume and few reviews. He is a late-round draft pick who has never started a game, and across the sideline is the guy with the most accomplishments in history. If you remember, that was the story of Brock […]

Looking back on Bucs’ loss to Bengals

December 20, 2022 general

5 Thoughts Tuesday, 4 a.m. Shows what I know. Here I thought that Todd Bowles’ stay with the Bucs would be defined by that silly blitz against the Rams last year. But let’s face it: A fake punt deep in your own territory with a two-touchdown lead was far stupider. 2. The Bucs have lost […]

Bucs collapse in second half of loss to Bengals

December 19, 2022 general

Monday, 4 a.m. They climbed so high … … and they fell so far. The fact that the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Tampa Bay Buc 34-23 on Sunday afternoon shouldn’t surprise anyone. The Bucs lose a lot these days, and the Bengals win a lot. What as news was the way it happened, when the […]
