On the visitor’s sideline, new Bucs OC Josh Grizzard finds himself dealing from a short deck. Tristan Wirfs, Jalen McMillan and Chris Godwin won’t be available in the season opener and tight end Cade Otton suddenly looks doubtful due to a fresh leg injury. (more…)

Big prediction.

When prickly Pete Prisco of CBS is on a roll, it’s best to just take a step back and enjoy it. (more…)
