Tampa Bay’s Koetter deserves an award

December 10, 2015 general

Bucs’ defense needs to play well in stretch drive

December 9, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. Half of the time, they’re pretty good. Half of the time, they’re not. Half of the time, they rush the passer. Half of the time, they don’t. Half of the time, they tackle and they cover and they fight. The other half, they give migraines and make you pull your hair and […]

Has Winston entered the NFL’s top 10?

December 8, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. It is not only the distance he has traveled. It is the speed at which he has arrived. His career is 12 games old — just that — and already, he owns his team. Heck, he owns his town. As of now, this is Winstonville, and he is the governor. His career […]

Game on line, would you have believed in Evans?

December 7, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. Who would you have picked? Given a huddle of Buccaneers, given the pressure, given the moment, whose number would you have called?

Winston leads the Bucs to another win

December 6, 2015 general

Sunday, 7 p.m. There are passers who look pretty in the pocket and invincible on the stat sheet. The throw as if they are posing for a painting, and the ball leaves their hands in a spiral. They stack up 300-yard games and pose with cheerleaders. Jameis Winston is not one of those. There are […]

Williams helped pave the road for Bucs’ Winston

December 3, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m He heard the insults, mean and hateful, that fell out of  out of the stands like barbed wire. In some ways, perhaps, that has something to do with the cheers that Jameis Winston hears. His team fought him for every nickel, even while he was the lowest paid starting quarterback in the […]

Do you realistically believe the Bucs have shot?

December 1, 2015 NFL

Tuesday, 6 a.m. Forget about mathematically. How about realistically? And so at this point of the sentence, we type “Bucs,” and at that point we type “playoffs,” and we look around the room to see if anyone is grinning.
