What would Lovie have learned from Super Bowl?

February 1, 2015 general

Sunday, 11:05 p.m. You imagine him watching. You imagine him comparing. You remember him looking at various players and thinking “I want one of those.” Yep, it should have been an interesting night of watching the Super Bowl for Lovie Smith. Who needs to get to work.

Lynch deserves his spot in the Hall of Fame

January 30, 2015 Tampa Bay Bucs

Friday, 10:30 a.m. If the position did not confuse them so much, John Lynch would already be in the Hall of Fame. It’s just that he….well, what did he do again? The inability to embrace Lynch, a mainstay with the great Buc defenses of the late 90s and early 2000s, confounds me. Gather all the […]

It’s International Silly Day at the Super Bowl

January 27, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6:00 a.m. Jokers. Clowns. Buffoons. And that’s just the media part of it. At least, it’s what passes for the media on international look-at-me day, the days where the Super Bowl is turned over to insanity. There are media members who are dressed in wedding gowns and ballerina tutus and cheerleader’s Content beyond this […]

The Bucs can learn a lot from the Seahawks

January 26, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. There was a time they were  in the rear-view mirror. There was a time they woke up in the morning and wanted nothing more than to be the Tampa Bay Bucs. Or most of the other teams in the NFL. How, then, did the Seattle Seahawks turn into a dynasty? And how […]

To all Fields: QB coach not a miracle worker

January 24, 2015 College Sports in Florida

Saturday, 6:00 a.m. …In Tampa. Perhaps the hire didn’t make you throw confetti, or at the very least, throw it straight. Perhaps you were looking for a bigger name and a better resume. Perhaps you wanted this addition to come with the promise of touchdowns. It didn’t. That doesn’t mean, however, that Mike Bajakian won’t […]

We have lost our outrage over sports cheating

January 22, 2015 Tampa Bay Bucs

Thursday, 3:48 p.m. What happens when cheaters prosper? What happens when the rallying cry is “you’ve got to cheat us to beat us” and they do? What happens when we are all Patriots? In sports, the biggest fear is not cheating. The biggest fear is losing. Compared with losing, cheating looks smart, sly, clever. Cheating […]

My speech to the Clearwater Rotarians

January 21, 2015 College Sports in Florida

I spoke to the good folks at the Clearwater Rotary Club on Wednesday. Here are the notes to my speech.

Could young athletes give Tampa Bay a new chance?

January 19, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. There was a time the meek of Tampa Bay inherited the earth. There were a time when young, promising athletes flooded the market. There was a time when the scoreboard changed. There was a time when Tampa Bay mattered. Could it happen again? Perhaps you remember the last time. It was in […]

Here in Caboose City, we hunger to win another title

January 16, 2015 general

Friday, 11:22 a.m. We lose. That’s what we do. We fumble. We strike out. In the world of sports, we sit in the penalty box. This is the lot of Tampa Bay. Fourth Place Bay, you might call it. The place where end zones are the promised land, where drafts are hope, where new coaches […]
