Good (?) News For Bucs Fans: Remaining Games Won't Be Blacked Out
"Sorry our franchise quarterback turned out to be a bust. But we'll make sure you don't miss a minute of the Mike Glennon experience."...
Rays Owner Says Terrible Attendance Will Affect Team's Payroll
Rays owner Stuart Sternberg set his sights high: "I felt we would be 28th, maybe with a shot at 27th." Surely, with the treasonous Marlins and the ignored Astros in existence, the Rays could draw more fans than at least a couple other teams. But no. Look at the charts. The Rays are dead last in MLB,...
Buccaneers Bench Josh Freeman
Just two days after Greg Schiano insisted that Josh Freeman is his starting quarterback, Adam Schefter reports that the Buccaneers will switch to Mike Glennon for this Sunday's game against the Cardinals....
Rays Win In 18, Set Stage For Wide-Open Wild Card Finish
I gave up on this game in the 16th. If only the Orioles were so sleepy, they could have been spared two further innings and grief. And, who knows, maybe if it ends in 16, Kelly Johnson here doesn't get drilled with DeJesus's helmet after a celebratory heave. But that's baseball: unpredictable. Somet...
Joe Nathan Goes All <i>Joe Nathan</i>
The Rays just came back to tie the Rangers at three in the 11th inning at the Trop thanks to this base-slap that just missed Joe Nathan's glove. Just one pitch after Freddy Guzmán stole second and one strike away from his 40th save, Nathan gave up the game-tying run to David DeJesus. We've seen thi...
Tampa Bay Won't Wear "Bucco Bruce" Helmets Because Of...Player Safety?
The Bucs were planning to break out the creamsicle throwbacks on Sept. 29th, complete with the winking pirate helmet logo. No more. According to the team, they can't make it work because of new NFL helmet regulations supposedly meant to increase safety....
Wil Myers And James Shields Are The Wild Card Race's Best Show
It's fitting that Wil Myers and James Shields, the two principals involved in the Royals-Rays preseason trade that launched a thousand articles and blog posts about which team had just committed an unforgivable blunder/stolen a great player, are refusing to give us an easy answer to that debate. Wit...
Idiot On The Field At The Trop Gets To Second Base In Just His Undies
I know we are, by definition, dealing with idiots but I just can't find the benefit in stripping down to your skivvies before taking off for such a no-doubt-about-it losing situation. Especially when the surface is artificial turf. ...
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Are A Sad Mess Right Now
Be thankful you aren't a Buccaneers fan. It's one thing for an 8-8ish team to bumble around and lose in the sloppy first few weeks of fall. It's another for that team to look like a 10-win team for 59 minutes and a two-win team for one. Of all the ways for an NFL team to arrive at mediocrity, the Bu...
Report: Josh Freeman Wants The Hell Out Of Tampa
CBS Sports is reporting that Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman is expected to ask for a trade before next month's deadline. Tampa Bay is no longer a healthy place for a young, inconsistent quarterback who needs a coach that doesn't hate him....
A.J. McCarron's Stability Tops Johnny Football's Flying Circus
A.J. McCarron gets slapped with the pejorative "game manager" label, as if taking care of the football and involving the ground game are bad things. Johnny Manziel? Spectacular as always....
Johnny Manziel: Not A Strong Tackler
Worth remembering Texas wanted to recruit Manziel as a safety, which tells you all you need to know about the Texas defense....
Johnny Football Giveth And Johnny Football Taketh Away
In one series, in the less than two minutes, Johnny Manziel made Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide both seethe and clap stone-facedly with delight....
Johnny Manziel Throws For TD On Opening Drive; Let's Check in On Saban
Tracy Wolfson: How do you plan to control Johnny Manziel?...
Johnny Manziel, The Puppet: Texas A&M-Alabama <em>GameDay</em> Sign Roundup
We find ourselves on yet another Saturday morning cultivating the best efforts of the (mostly) drunken, (mostly) teen-aged minds of those shirking the responsibility and honor associated with higher education for some good fuckin' times. God bless you, you animals. ...
Martin St. Louis Does Not Skip Leg Day
It's not the first time we've marveled over the 38-year-old Lightning winger's massive quads. And it won't be the last, because if we don't he'll use them to crack our heads like so many chestnuts....
Behold, A Life-Sized Jell-O Mold Of Nick Saban's Face
Spilly, SBNations's food humorist—and a Pitt fan, of all things—unveiled his latest creation today, along with a breakdown of how it was done. It would not be an understatement to describe this as a Spilly masterpiece. Also not an understatement: This is the closest Nick Saban has ever come to resem...
