Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Giants
October 1st, 2017Locker room nuggets and sage wisdom. It’s Ira’s famous postgame nuggets and happenings.
BY IRA KAUFMAN
As Dirk Koetter trotted toward a jubilant Buc locker room following Sunday’s thriller, he flashed a big smile and uttered a memorable punch line.

With Malcolm Glazer set to become the 10th member of the Ring of Honor Thursday night, here are 10 takeaways from a game with zero takeaways: [read more]
