Bucs have fellow losers in state of Florida

October 9, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6:01 a.m. They have the coordinates of the Devils’ Triangle all wrong. In reality, it has nothing to do with Bermuda. The real lost souls come somewhere west, somewhere above landfall. It starts in Tampa, and it stretches across Florida to Jacksonville. From there, it juts down to the Southern Tip, to Miami. And […]

Thursday, 11:37 p.m. Remember your first ride on a roller-coaster? Remember the colors blurring past you at breakneck speed? Remember the rises and the falls and the way the sudden turns tugged at your body? Remember the wind in your face and the clackity-clack beneath your feet.

To repeat, Lightning might find the skating rougher

October 8, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. The ice might not be as smooth. One of the Triplets could have a nagging injury. Steven Stamkos’ contract talks could get sticky. Things could go wrong, in other words. The power play might not have any. The penalty kill could die lonely. Slumps could happen. Another team might be heaven-kissed. There […]

Rays look to improve from within for next year

October 7, 2015 general

Wednesday, a.m. Another team might think about adding a new pitcher for $100 million or so. Maybe an outfielder for $75 million. Maybe both. Another team might look at good players with bad contracts, and brace itself for the bidding wars ahead. Another team might covet the free agents ready to fill their shopping carts […]

First month in NFL has been difficult for Winston

October 6, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. At times like this, it feels wrong. At times like this, he feels wrong. The National Football League looks too big for Jameis Winston, too fast, too slick. The schemes that the opposition uses seems too advanced, too complicated. He has dared to be a rookie, merely one month into his career, […]

Couldn’t the Bucs use an effort like Alstott’s?

October 5, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. For a running back, there wasn’t a lot of wiggle to his game. That’s okay. There were other guys to wiggle. There were faster guys, and there were sleeker guys, and there were guys who could dance more in the hole. There were guys who gained more yards. There were guys who […]

October 4, 2015 general

For an entire season, Tampa Bay had waited for this imaginary beast called the “grand slam.” Other teams hit them. Some others hit a lot of them. But not this one. Not for  161 games. Oh, there were solo shots, and there were some two-run jobs, and every now and then, there was a three-spot. […]
