Why won’t a team offer Winston a position?

March 22, 2020 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. Would you buy a broken promise from this man? He is 26 years old, and already, he has 70 starts in the NFL. He’s thrown for 19.787 yards. He’s thrown for 121 touchdowns in five seasons. And these days, Jameis Winston can’t get a job. Winston is in limbo. He has no […]

Which 10 Bucs can Brady help the most?

March 21, 2020 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. If Tom Brady is still Tom Brady, the Tom Brady, the Pro Bowl and the Greatest of All-Time (or at least, the greatest Bucs’ quarterback of all-time), then he’s going to help everyone. Probably, he will make your Sundays go a little better, too. But that’s the greatest asset of a great […]

Head to head, how might Brady and Winston do?

March 19, 2020 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. He’s better. No rational man would deny it. In any game, Tom Brady trumps Jameis Winston, and it isn’t close. The Tampa Bay Bucs have been wrong about a great number of things in their history, but this is not one of them. Despite the age, despite the cost, despite the adjustment […]

Brady’s signing would bring hope back to Bucs

March 18, 2020 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. Try not to think about the miles he has traveled. Try only to think about the moments he has accomplished. Tom Brady is 42 years old. He has been sacked 500 times, and hit countless others. His right arm has thrown 9,988 passes, and that’s just in the regular season. Who knows […]

Bucs bring back their pass rush with new deals

March 17, 2020 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. We can assume that Shaq Barrett got there with speed. He shot off the line, and he closed in on the deal in a heartbeat. He was always a quick player, that Barrett, so should it be any different when he was rushing Jason Licht’s checkbook? Jason Pierre-Paul, however, was more about […]

If Winston is done, where would he rank?

March 15, 2020 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. Do you imagine it? Do you dream about it? Do you wait without breath for the day it occurs? Do you envision Jameis Winston packing his bags? Do you imagine him taking a cab — not an Uber — to the airport? Do you anticipate him handing his family’s tickets to the […]

Stripped of sports, we await their return

March 13, 2020 general

Friday, 4 a.m. Bats do not crack. Balls do not bounce. Pucks do not slide. The ballparks are closed now. The arenas, too. Sports have been effectively shut down by a growing horror called the Corona virus. And nothing sounds worse than the sound of no hands clapping. It is only the sounds of seasons […]

Should teams be wary of ancient quarterbacks?

March 12, 2020 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. And so I read that the Tampa Bay Bucs will be “all in” on Tom Brady. That’s no surprise. On the other hand, if Brady was “all in” on the Bucs, well, that would be news. I’ve said it before. I don’t blame the Bucs one bit for sending candy and flowers […]

Slow start, special teams doom Lightning

March 11, 2020 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. For the Tampa Bay Lighting, there are a dozen games left to find themselves again. The slumping Bolts lost for the seventh time in their last 12 games Tuesday night, falling 2-1 to Toronto largely because of a horrible start. The Maple Leafs got off the first 11 shots of the game […]
