Greg Schiano Really Is As Big An Asshole As You Imagine Him To Be
The sun came up today, and that means that the garbage fire that is the 2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers got even hotter and more garbage-y. What's new today? Allow The MMQB's Andrew Brandt to tell you about "Schiano Men."...
The Fatally Flawed Rangers Went Out With A Bunt And A Whimper
On August 31, the Rangers were sitting pretty. First in the division, a hefty wild card lead if it came to that, Texas had a 98.12 percent chance of making the playoffs. September was unkind—even with a seven-game winning streak that earned them a one-game playoff, they went 12-16 over the month, ge...
The Josh Freeman Mess Could Reach A Head Today
Our "Buccaneers" tagpage is a chronicle of sadness, from a staph outbreak to the ignominious shelving of Bucco Bruce to an incipient player mutiny against college-to-pro hardass Greg Schiano to the swift divorce from once-franchise quarterback Josh Freeman. When will this end?...
Josh Freeman Is In Stage One Of The NFL's Drug Program
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers/Josh Freeman real-time divorce is ugly. He was recently benched, then deactivated and banished to a suite (Schiano says it was a mutual decision, Freeman's agent says bullshit) for Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Cardinals. Now comes news that Freeman is in the first stage of the...
Bid On This Awesome Velvet Painting Of "Macho Man" Randy Savage
I'll be honest: I had reservations about posting this phenomenal eBay listing of a black velvet painting of "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth in the style of Gustav Klimt's The Kiss, because I'd like to score it cheap for myself. But the creator of this masterpiece deserves to be compensa...

Who Is The Most Pompous Sports Pundit? A Scientific Investigation
Of all the stupid rhetorical plays columnists use—issuing thundering imperatives, positioning their banal opinions as the exact midpoints between varieties of unyielding madness, championing their cronies' worthless businesses as examples of the disciplinary power of markets, etc. etc.—the funniest ...
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...
