August 2, 2015 general

Bucs’ QB Winston says his age doesn’t matter

August 2, 2015 general

Sunday, 2:07 a.m. Being young doesn’t scare those who are. Being young means you don’t have to think of defensive ends blowing by bad blocking. Being young means you don’t envision running backs being thrown for two yard losses. Being young means you give no consideration to the days when your body hurts and you […]

July 27, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. To Jameis Winston, he is just another quarterback who didn’t measure up. No one to think twice about. No one to consider. Yes, he used to work here. Yes, he was once the hope for the future, too. Yes, he was loaded with potential and laced with promise. But Josh Freeman failed, […]

July 21, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. The closest I have ever been to a dinosaur was when I saw a virtual one in the movie Jurassic Park. I felt terror when the virtual raptors attacked.

July 12, 2015 general

Sunday, 6 a.m. Hello, I’m Jimbo Fisher. And this year, I’d like for FSU team to be the No. 1 team in the nation. Bar none. – If Jason Pierre-Paul and C.J. Wilson need a role model right about now, I’d look to former Rams tight end Marlin McKeever. In 1966, McKeever was in a […]
