Bucs have a big day as they sit at home

November 8, 2021 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Tom Brady didn’t throw a touchdown pass on Sunday. Mike Evans didn’t catch one. Shaq Barrett didn’t get a sack. Devin White didn’t make a tackle. Still, it was a pretty good day for the Tampa Bay Bucs. Content beyond this point is for members only. Already a member? To view the […]

Lightning win behind backup goalie

November 7, 2021 general

A guy doesn’t get a lot of work when he’s the backup to Andrei Vasilevskiy. It’s mostly scraps and leftovers for whoever the designated backup happens to be. Saturday afternoon, however, Brian Elliott said hello. Elliott, who has spent 18 seasons in the NHL after being the next-to-last player drafted in 2003. He is 36 […]

Will pressure mount on Gators’ Mullen?

November 7, 2021 general

Sunday, 3 a.m. Will the University of Florida’s Dan Mullen pay for his latest disappointment with his head? And if not, will he call for that of defensive coordinator Todd Grantham? The late-season swoon of the Florida Gators gets worse and worse. On Saturday night, Florida dropped its third straight game and its fifth of […]

Rodgers trying to dance his way out of trouble

November 6, 2021 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. And so, in the eternal dance of the deceitful, the question burns. How are you to feel about Aaron Rodgers and his loose association with the truth? Are you outraged that he might have lied (he said he didn’t, but at the time, his pants were on fire)? Are you prepared to […]

Lightning falters late against Leafs

November 5, 2021 general

Friday, 4 a.m. It doesn’t take long to fall off of a cliff. One minute, you’re on top of the mountain and the next, you’re heading for the rocks below. Just ask the Tampa Bay Lightning, who lost so quickly Thursday night they were still trying to figure out what happened to them. The Bolts […]

Can the Bucs make another run?

November 3, 2021 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. The sky is falling. I know, I know. There are dark clouds on the horizon, and giant chasms have opened in the earth’s surface. The oceans have turned to mud, and locusts are eating your lawn. Soon, dragons may arrive. It is always this way when a talented team comes out second […]

Measuring outrage for Bearcats

November 3, 2021 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. Everyone loves Spartacus, right? Everyone wants to dance with Cinderella. As a rule, we love underdogs. We root for the silent killers, the teams that come from nowhere and upset the powerhouses. We want David. We want Rudy. So forgive me for feeling like this, but I’m having a hard time mustering […]

Cernak faces down Ovechkin in win

November 2, 2021 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. You can walk away from this one talking about Andrei Vasilevskiy. That’s often the case, of course. Once again, Vasilevskiy was a contortionist in goal, swatting away defeat like another puck. You can walk away talking about Brayden Point, who scored the winning goal, or Anthony Cirelli, who had three points, or […]

Looking back at the Bucs’ loss to the Saints

November 2, 2021 general

5 Thoughts I continue to be impressed with how Sean Payton’s teams overachieve. To beat this Bucs team with his third team quarterback is special. But how do you explain only one Super Bowl title? 2. The Bucs’ offensive line is pretty good, but they got paddled on Sunday. Content beyond this point is for […]

Saints beat Bucs behind backup QB

November 1, 2021 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Once again, the New Orleans Saints have given the Tampa Bay Bucs a gift: The gift of self-realization. No, they are destined to repeat last year’s Super Bowl victory. No, they aren’t the best team in the NFC. Heck, they aren’t even the best team in the NFC South. Today, the Bucs […]
