Now comes the hard part — dealing with the aftermath.

I once had a hockey coach tell me it’s not about how many times you get knocked down, it’s about getting up off the canvas. The Bucs just took one to the solar plexus. If they’re still writhing in pain from a devastating body blow, who could blame them? (more…)

Who’s got next?

Ronde Barber will be saluted as the 13th member of the Bucs Ring of Honor Sunday during a halftime ceremony that is sure to turn out an array of Tampa Bay icons.

And while Barber justifiably has his eye on an eventual gold jacket in Canton, the next name to adorn the façade at Raymond James Stadium is wide open. (more…)

The joint was jumping.

Surrounded by passionate Buc fans at Buffalo Wild Wings in Riverview,

I could sense their concern late in Thursday night’s game. Tampa Bay isn’t known for making key plays in crunch time, so Buc supporters feared the worst.

Fear struck out. (more…)

I waited as dozens of players walked toward the team bus while equipment bags were lugged out. (more…)
