Joe has 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.

Yes! Sports multimedia guru Rock Riley (@realrockriley) is back with another locker room and practice field video report. Good stuff from Robert Ayers, O.J. Howard, and more. Today’s video is presented by Pint And Brew in Palm Harbor.
Joe has to guess it is in the DNA of the spreadsheeters.
It seems, almost universally (at least the Disney-employed spreadsheeters) they inherently dislike America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. [read more]
So, for those who still cling to the fantasy that all of Doug Martin’s ills running the ball are due to the offensive line, the folks at NFL Films provide evidence to the contrary. [read more]
