Bill Currie Ford GM Sean Sullivan is ready to help you PERSONALLY and give you the Ira Kaufman discount.
Just ask!

BY IRA KAUFMAN

It’s a question nagging Buc fans from Sarasota to Safety Harbor: can this defense be trusted, especially on the road?

Sean Payton Won’t Coach Slimy Saints Sunday

December 17th, 2021

Out.

When the Bucs host the slimy Saints Sunday night, a fixture on the slimy Saints’ sidelines won’t be there.

And that missing (former?) fixture will be New Orleans coach Sean Payton. Per Adam Schefter of BSPN, Payton, the pride of Eastern Illinois University, has tested positive for The Sickness (as he did in 2020) and will miss the game with the Bucs.

New Orleans defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, once a Raiders head coach, will assume head coaching duties.
