November 20, 2015 general

Friday  8:3 a.m. J.J. Watt got nothing. Jason Pierre-Paul was shut out. Greg Hardy got zilch. And so it goes with the suddenly improving offensive line of the Tampa Bay Bucs.

  Thursday, 11:56 p.m. J.T. Brown, of course, is the assist man. The dealer. The orchestra leader. And why not? Brown had two assists this year coming into Thursday night’s game. He had six last year. Surely, you would expect the puck to be on his stick in the final 65 seconds of play. You […]

November 19, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. Time is running out. The crowd is loud. The opposition is energized. It is hot. You are tired. You have been knocked down all afternoon long. Your best receiver is hurt. The field is long. You are behind. In other words, it is time to be a quarterback. Forget all the other […]
