“Maybe Todd Bowles Wasn’t Kidding”
June 5th, 2021
The Sage of Tampa Bay Sports is Ira Kaufman. He is Tampa’s only Pro Football Hall of Fame selector, a member of the prestigious Hall seniors committee, and Ira’s full-time journey around the NFL landscape began as a New York Giants beat writer in 1979. Joe hired Ira just about five years ago to fire up columns and podcasts here ever week. All of Ira’s work is presented by another Tampa Bay treasure, Bill Currie Ford, family owned on Dale Mabry Highway for the past 61 years. Ira’s good friend, Bill Currie Ford GM Sean Sullivan, has been giving personal service to JoeBucsFan readers for years. Just ask! He loves Bucs fans and the Ira Kaufman discount.
