Gators lose again as season spins away

October 17, 2021 general

Sunday, 3 a.m. In a place known as Death Valley, they can recognize a corpse. Especially when it’s wearing orange and blue. The chances of the University of Florida finishing with anything other than a mediocre football season were reduced to nil Saturday afternoon when the Gators went down, 49-42, to an injured, unranked football […]

Looking back at the Bucs win over Philly

October 16, 2021 general

5 Thoughts I’m sure the 0- 5 Jacksonville Jaguars feel extremely smart for throwing away Leonard Fournette right about now.

Bucs second-chancers lead victory

October 15, 2021 general

Friday, 4 a.m. It is a game of second chances. It is a game of fresh starts. Tell it to Tom Brady, whose successes haven’t made anyone forget his controversies. Tell it to Leonard Fournette, who was thrown away by, of all teams, Jacksonville. Tell it to Antonio Brown, whose scandals derailed his career. Together, […]

Can secondary overcome the Hurts?

October 14, 2021 general

Thursday, 3 a.m. Once again, you fear the quarterback. This time it’s Jalen Hurts, but with the confused secondary of the Tampa Bay Bucs, it doesn’t really matter who the passer is.

What you should make of disgrace of Jon Gruden

October 14, 2021 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. I thought he was egotistical. Then again, a great many NFL coaches are. Feeding that ego is part of their motivation. I thought he was stubborn. I thought he was confrontational. I thought he was overrated. I thought he had way too much power for his ability. But I never thought Jon […]

Looking back on the Rays’ loss in the ALDS

October 13, 2021 general

5 Thoughts The best thing the Rays did in their ALDS loss was play defense. Don’t you wonder how many runs the Red Sox would have scored if they didn’t? 2.

Looking back on the Bucs’ win over Miami

October 12, 2021 general

Tuesday, 3 a.m. 5 Thoughts It’s okay if Tom Brady makes you forget about the other quarterbacks in the history of the Bucs’ franchise. Frankly, it’s therapeutic. 2. If Leonard Fournette vs. Ronald Jones II were a fight, they’d stop it. Fournette has won the job. 3. Brady’s thumb will only be a factor if […]
