Are expectations of Bucs’ Brady too high?

November 27, 2020 general

Friday, 4 a.m. He is the greatest quarterback of all time. Alas, he is not the greatest quarterback of right now. And that seems to be driving people nuts when it comes to Tom Brady, the immortal who seems to be quite mortal these days. He hasn’t played well in a month, really. But overall, […]

Bucs have to face the NFL’s hottest quarterback

November 26, 2020 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. It is his league now. His ball. His show. Few players have ever taken over football the way that Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs has. He is young, he is talented and he is charismatic. He rides possibilities, salvaging one victory after another, refusing to look at the scoreboard until […]

Looking back on Bucs’ loss to L.A. Rams

November 25, 2020 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. 5 Thoughts Sure, it’s the play-calling. I blame Bruce Arians for not being able to come up with a better plan for an offense that can’t block, can’t run and can’t catch the ball out of the backfield. 2. Todd Bowles, on the other hand, should be on the hot seat for […]

Late starts, good teams plague Bucs again

November 24, 2020 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. For all the punchlines, for all the the suggestion that the Bucs are merely a team of stars struggling in the dark, perhaps the difference isn’t between day and night, after all. These days, perhaps the difference is between good and bad. The Tampa Bay Bucs lost, once again, to a team […]

Bucs try to light a candle in the darkness

November 23, 2020 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Random Thoughts: Do you think the Bucs would play better in prime time games if the coaches put a Nite Light in every player’s locker, just to scare away the monsters under the bed. — I like Dabo Swinney, but he’s off-base in suggesting that the Clemson game against FSU was canceled […]

Gators’ Trask stays hot in ‘ho-hum’ victory

November 22, 2020 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. They can score faster than you. They can score more repeatedly. They can score until their opponent grows weary of lining up for extra points. Pretty much, that is the game plan of the Florida Gators. Florida scored often enough to get a lethargic 38-17 victory over the winless Vanderbilt Commodores Saturday […]

Bucs to face sturdier Rams’ defense

November 21, 2020 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. When last they met, the Los Angeles Ram scored 40 on the Tampa Bay Bucs. They were fast, they were quick, and they were explosive. The Bucs, however, got 55. They had 385 yards and four touchdowns from then-quarterback Jameis Winston. Pretty much, that tells you all you need to know about […]

Bucs’ Arians grows tired of talking about Brown

November 20, 2020 general

Friday, 4 a.m. Bruce Arians is tired of talking about Antonio Brown. And the world answers: Get used to it. Arians, once again, was asked about Brown and his most recent incident where he allegedly threw a bicycle and destroyed a camera eight days before being signed by the Buc. The league is investigating it, […]

Who should make the Pro Bowl for Bucs?

November 19, 2020 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. There are a lot of things wrong with the Pro Bowl, a grand excuse for player to dress up and act like they’re playing football. In reality, it has as much to do with football as the movie “The Longest Yard.” But there is one cool thing about the Pro Bowl. Making […]

Bucs’ Jones has blossomed into a weapon

November 18, 2020 general

Wednesday, 4 p.m. The worst prognosticator in the world is your local weatherman. Despite all the radar, despite all the weather systems, that guy has zero idea of where a hurricane is going or where it will hit. It’s like God is throwing knuckleballs, and everything is a moving green screen. Me? I am second. […]
