The biggest upset of the NFL season, one of the biggest in history, was a special gift to Tampa Bay. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians knows he has a ridiculously unique and rather strange football team that sits with a 9-5 record on the cusp of the playoffs. (more…)

Joe apologizes for the graphic nature of the photograph, but it’s not every day that you see a guy significantly ill on the sidelines head back into a football game.
