Do you buy into Bucs as a solid defense?

October 21, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. The truth of it is, Mark Twain didn’t come up with that line about lies. At least, not on is own. “There are three kinds of lies,” the quote goes. “Lies, damn lies and statistics.” All of which brings us to the defense of the Tampa Bay Bucs. And whether you believe […]

Winston off to a decent start for Tampa Bay

October 20, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. A couple of times, he has been wobbly. A couple of times, he has given a glimpse of how good he can be. And so it has gone with Jameis Winston, a little good, a little bit, a little up, a little down, a little bit sure, a little bit shaky. He […]

This week’s foe: Bucs vs. Redskins means oddity

October 19, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. To some opponents, they are  the team of  Joe Gibbs and Joe Theismann and the Smurfs. To some opponents, they are all about  Dexter Manley and  Doug Williams and the Hogs, a massive group of offensive linemen that once stirred fans to wear hog snouts, a silly enough idea  until one of […]

Accepting blame is a part of sports

October 16, 2015 general

Friday, 6 a.m. A great many players will fight you to their last drop of blood. A great many players will injure themselves in the effort. They will twist and contort and expend their last drop of energy. What they can not do is admit their shortcomings. Ever. For some athletes, there is no mea […]

By the numbers, the Bucs are getting better

October 15, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. It doesn’t sound like a lot. Lovie Smith would probably agree with you that it is not enough. One win. That’s all. At this point last season, the Bucs were off to a dreadful 1-4 season. This year, they’re off to a mediocre 2-3 season. The difference is in the adjectives. And […]

Bucs win, but fall short of making fans happy

October 11, 2015 general

Sunday, 6:51 p.m. TAMPA It was like having a candy bar for dinner. Sweet, perhaps, but hardly satisfying. With a team trying to learn how to walk, however, this is what you get. Thirty-eight points worth of offense. Thirty-one given up by the defense. Finally, a win at home. Almost, a secondary capable of blowing […]

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 […]
