BY IRA KAUFMAN
The NFL may be only a day or two away from addressing a major problem.
Member clubs will soon be voting on a proposal to expand reviewable plays to include pass interference. I’m willing to trade a few additional minutes of down time for an opportunity to get a fresh set of eyes on the game’s most grievous penalty. (more…)

No Laughing Matter
Wednesday, March 13th, 2019
BY IRA KAUFMAN
The once-hapless Cleveland Browns are making a move on the Buccaneers.
A big move.
Tampa Bay’s 11-year playoff drought is the longest in the NFC, but at least the Bucs could say they were looking down on the Browns, who have endured 11 consecutive losing seasons and haven’t reached the postseason since 2002. (more…)

Friday, March 8th, 2019
BY IRA KAUFMAN
We’re less than a week away from NFL free agency, otherwise known as “buyer beware” time.

A Real Fix Available At O-Line U
Wednesday, March 6th, 2019BY IRA KAUFMAN
Now comes the hard part.
The Bucs wrapped up their left tackle position for at least a few years by coming to terms with Donovan Smith, who starts fresh with a new coaching staff as Jameis Winston’s blind-side protector.

Now it’s time to get things right. (more…)

Bucs Offseason Fact & Fiction
Friday, March 1st, 2019
BY IRA KAUFMAN
From late February to late April, NFL head coaches and general managers have a 2-month license to lie.
They talk about free agency and the draft but give away very little.
They talk about the season that just concluded and the one dead ahead, but when you look back, many of those offseason remarks are proven comical. (more…)
