Julius Peppers has extra incentive Sunday against the Bucs
Eventual slam dunk Hall of Fame defensive end Julius Peppers, whose 10 sacks for the Panthers this season means he now has 10 double-digit-sack seasons in his career, was a free agent this past offseason. [read more]
Joe challenged Ira Kaufman, Tampa Bay’s only Hall of Fame voter, to pick against the spread this season for a $500 prize. Every Friday, Ira types out his picks for each Sunday and Monday game. If Ira hits at 53 percent or better for the regular season, then he gets $500 in gift cards to Abe’s Place in Clearwater, home of historically amazing food and 44 craft beers on tap. Feel free to send Ira your stone cold locks on Twitter, @ikaufman76. The sage of Tampa Bay sports always appreciates a tip.
