Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Buccaneers and Saints faced off in a heated NFC South battle this week, but the final score really didn’t show it.

In Week 8, we saw the New Orleans Saints lose 23-3 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and drop to 1-7 on the season. We also saw Spencer Rattler get benched late in the 3rd and rookie Tyler Shough takeover at quarterback. After the game, the biggest question posed to Kellen Moore was on why he […]
Watching Monday night’s tilt between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a little too much for Brian Branch. Serving a one-game suspension for his part in a post-game fight with Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, Branch opted not to watch the game at all. It was just too much. “Watching them would make me […]
In an 82-game season, a team will have to find many different ways to win. Some will come on the back of dazzling offensive play, some by luck, some by a heroic goaltending effort, and some by a staunch defensive effort aided by goals from unlikely contributors. Tonight was such a game. The Lightning beat the Nashville Predators, 5-2, with Zemgus Girgensons scoring twice and Charle-Edouard D’Astous finding the back of the net for the first time in his NHL career. Andrei Vasilevskiy picked...
Look, I know Shane Bieber is really good. I know that the Blue Jays, in general, are a really good team. They won the American League East! The same division with the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the ever-pesky Rays! And yet, it sort of feels like the series is over. The Dodgers lead 2-1, […]

The Cleveland Browns, along with the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are in a unique position with their bye week coming the week before the NFL trade deadline.

The regular season is nearly halfway over, and teams will start being eliminated from playoff contention by the end of next month.

The Good: Defense The New Orleans Saints defense was a lone bright spot on Sunday, holding the 6-2 Buccaneers to just 212 yards, by far their lowest output of the season.

It seems Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois will not let a non-game day go by without making a move this season. His latest transaction involves yet another forward as the Lightning placed Mitchell Chaffee on waivers on Monday. The 27-year-old will be assigned to the Syracuse Crunch should he clear. Like many of the Lightning forwards Chaffee, who has appeared in seven of the team’s nine games, has yet to register a point. Chaffee was signed by the organization prior to ...
Junior Caminero was the resounding winner of our recent poll of which player the Rays should offer a contract extension to next. This should come as no surprise!

I’m going to change things up a little bit in this week’s subscriber-only post. Instead of talking about the Tampa Bay Lightning, I’m going to get a little more personal.

There is no need to get too crazy in breaking down this game. The Tampa Bay Lightning found a way to win a game that, a week ago, they would have lost. Nikita Kucherov finished off a feed from Brandon Hagel in overtime to give them a 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.

With both teams having played tough games less than 24 hours prior, it could be forgiven if they loo...
