After the 2020 schedule was released, Joe wrote that flex scheduling, where the NFL can replace a scheduled Sunday night game with a more appealing contest, begins in Week 11.

That was incorrect. That’s also the danger of not Googling to the exact source. Per NFL rules, flex scheduling for Sunday night games begins in Week 5.

So both Bucs games on Sunday night will fall under the flex scheduling rules. In other words, those Sunday night games are not a lock.

Yeah, there are people who talk about team leaders like they are some sort of mystic higher being, almost like something you would hear Robert Plant screech about in the odd, gothic lyrics of a Led Zeppelin song. (more…)

“Yes Tom, I’m a catch.”

Now there are a lot of folks who believe park-violating, home-invading Bucs quarterback Tom Brady will be better this year — at 43-years old! — because of the Bucs receivers. (more…)

New Bucs safety Antoine Winfield, Jr.

It seems the Bucs’ goal is to roll with a 21-year-old safety and a 23-year-old safety to kick off the 2020 season. (more…)
