Seven seasons have gone by since Drew Brees caressed the Vince Lombardi Trophy and it’s safe to say he’s got the seven-year itch.
A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Brees is still going strong at the age of 38. I caught up with him at the Pro Bowl in Orlando and asked him to assess the state of the NFC South. (more…)

Everything was going John Lynch’s way … until the moment of truth.
The vibes in the room were all positive after I made my pitch for Lynch as a Hall of Fame candidate Saturday in a Houston conference room. Several other selectors spoke up in Lynch’s behalf, talking up his credentials for the Class of 2017. (more…)
HOUSTON — We’re locked, loaded and ready for takeoff.
It won’t be long before I present John Lynch’s case in front of the Hall of Fame Selection Committee for the fourth consecutive year. It’s a heck of a case.
A week that began with Lynch’s new job as GM of the 49ers could end with his entrance into Canton.

So I’m sitting at home Sunday evening, thumbing through the Bucs media guide, when word came down about John Lynch’s new gig.
Surprise, surprise.
What a kick in the head as I was in the process of finalizing my upcoming speech for Lynch’s candidacy to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017. Minutes after word leaked out that Lynch will be the next GM of the forlorn San Francisco 49ers, I sent him a text: (more…)
After a three-year brain fart, the NFL has come to its senses and restored the Pro Bowl’s traditional AFC vs. NFC format.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to witness the spectacle of Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice trying to divvy up the rosters, but let’s not get carried away — this game still stinks.
In honor of Sunday night’s matchup at Camping World Stadium, here’s one man’s version of the all-time Buccaneer Pro Bowl squad. (more…)

If the Bucs are to emerge as a league power in the fall, they must add a few significant pieces on each side of the ball.
They need to find a true No. 2 receiver, revive a feeble ground game and show more toughness against the run. They can’t finish last in field-goal percentage or allow 34 completions of more than 25 yards.
One more thing — Jameis Winston has to be a better quarterback. (more…)

Every once in awhile, the guys who astutely run this website have to be slapped back into reality.
This is one of those moments.
The same pundits who foolishly labeled Mark Dominik a “rock star” and prematurely assigned Jameis Winston with the title “America’s Quarterback” are now giddy with the prospect of the Bucs going hog wild in the offseason. (more…)
