Twitter Posts Aren't Real Journalism, Silly!

Another NFL Coach Bites It...And It's Not Herm Edwards
Actually it's...Jon Gruden?!?! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired their doll-faced head coach last night. Gruden's Bucs hadn't won a playoff game since winning Super Bowl 37, and had missed the playoffs four of his last six seasons, including a tremendous December collapse this season, starting 9-3 and still missing the playoffs. Raheem Morris, who had been the Bucs' defensive coordinator since, oh, Christmas, will replace Gruden, and personnel director Mark Dominik will replace GM Bruce Allen, who was also shitcanned. More »

Jeff Garcia Awaits Your Scrutiny In The Comments
I've been a fan of Jeff Garcia since his little 2006 playoff run with the Eagles and will continue to be one until he finally, mercifully retires. He's not the flashiest guy, wasn't blessed with a big arm, and is particularly unimposing when he's photographed in black and white with freckle-splashed pectorals. But he's resilient. Every year it seems like the guy has to fight for a contract and convince teams that, yes, he's still a viable option and can help you win games, but nobody believes him. Do you? More »

So are we pretty much agreed that the Big Three in Christmas specials are The Grinch, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas? (Apologies to Will Leitch). Well, one of these will not be seen in the Tampa Bay area as scheduled on Monday, as ABC is pre-empting A Charlie Brown Christmas for the Buccaneers-Panthers game. More »

Matt Bryant Kicks Through The Pain
One of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking stories from yesterday's NFL news was that of Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant, who just a day after burying his 3-month-old son, Tryson, somehow summoned the strength to kick a ball through the uprights for his team. Bryant made three field goals — including the eventual game winner — and bravely spoke about his family's tragedy, even though plenty of people would have been satisfied with a no comment or a press release.

Our Hero Heads For The Loving Embrace Of Alligators, Stifling Humidity And Jon Gruden
Fans of the interception will be happy to know that Brett Favre is THIS close to becoming a Tampa Bay Buccaneer; as the Tampa Tribune is breathlessly reporting. Why this is especially intriguing is that coach Jon Gruden is known for his intricate and varied playbook, and Favre won't have a lot of time to absorb it before the team's regular season opener on Sept. 7 against New Orleans. So why not get yourself a nice box seat ticket to that one; Brett might even heave a couple of desperation passes to you! More » -

Favre A Buccaneer By The End Of The Week?
That's the "hunch" LA Times' columnist Sam Farmer has about how this whole Favre situation will mercifully end. (Roger Goodell is also anxious to resolve this. Sorry Packers. ) Farmer went on Dan Patrick's radio show and, although he couldn't state it as fact, said that the way things have played out and based on Jon Gruden's unabashed man-love of the gunslinger, it's a likely scenario. Either that, Farmer said, or Favre will crawl back into his Mississippi mud pit and re-retire. More » -

1st Round, Twentieth Overall: Buccaneers Select Aqib Talib
Talib blew off his scheduled visit with the Cowboys last month. Mario Manningham blew the Cowboys interview off at the Combine. Now I hate the stinkin' Cowboys as much as any kid who grew up a snowball's throw away from Veterans Stadium, but since when do NFL prospects blow off the Cowboys? They're a glamour franchise coming off a great year, and their owner is one of the most powerful men in sports, a guy who drives a cement mixer filled with hundred dollar bills and will drop them in a player's driveway if he likes what he sees. What are these kids thinking? "Oh, Jerry Jones wants to talk to me, but I just bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii, and I can't go anywhere until I figure out how to beat Sonic with Samus." More »

Such are the delights of scrolling through Mugshotdujour.com, which is a must-visit if you don't mind the night terrors.

Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action
We are always hesitant to grouse and grumble about the low excitement level of a particular NFL game and use it as an opportunity to make some larger statement about the game itself; one of the more random things about sports is that sometimes an individual game will just stink, and it's no reflection on the sport itself or the players participating. You can bring two good teams together, and sometimes, bad play will just result. That doesn't mean it's not fun; it's still sports, and it's still better than dealing in spreadsheets or doing a sales call. More »
