Let’s start the breakdown for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams! OT Kelvin Banks Last game against the Buccaneers, Banks had a decent performance, but this could be a bad week for the rookie. One of Banks’ worst games in college came when facing the Georgia Bulldogs, and that was one of the reasons […]
It’s Week 9 and the New Orleans Saints (1-7) are on the road to face the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Last week, we saw the Saints fall at home in a 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and QB Spencer Rattler get benched late in the 3rd quarter in favor of rookie […]
The Los Angeles Rams will play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday as they come out of their bye week and enter the second half of the season. Following the Saints game, the Rams will enter a gauntlet over the next three weeks. The Rams will play the San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and […]
The 5-2 Los Angeles Rams will host the 1-7 New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium in what will be just the third NFC conference game this year for Sean McVay’s squad. New Orleans is coming off a 23-3 loss to their divisional rival, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Rams and Saints are headed in opposite […]
New Nationals skipper Blake Butera, as noted by many, does not have much professional playing experience, spending just 2 seasons in the minor leagues for the Rays before calling it quits, peaking at the Low A level. Before that, he spent 4 years playing collegiate ball at Boston College, where he was a spark-plug up […]
This week’s poll asked an overly simplistic question. Forget nuance, I wanted a clear direction. Should the Rays operate as usual to build for 2026, or try something new: Spending Money. Here’s what y’all had to say: The Tampa Bay Rays have long operated as baseball’s perennial underdog, trading stars like David Price, Blake Snell, […]
The Tampa Bay Lightning closed out the October slate of their schedule with a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars. Tonight’s star – Anthony Cirelli. After Brandon Hagel made a nice defensive play in his own zone to force a loose puck, Cirelli bumped the puck to open ice and outraced the Stars’ defenders for a semi-breakaway. He tucked the puck in on the near post to beat Jake Oettinger to earn the bonus point.

Blake Butera, famed for managing within the Rays minor league system to great success at a very young age, has been poached by the Washington Nationals to be their new manager at just 33-years old. Butera’s most recent role with the Tampa Bay Rays was as the senior director of player development, a position he […]
The Washington Nationals have a new manager! According to multiple reports, the team has decided to hire Blake Butera, a former minor league manager and player development guru with the Tampa Bay Rays. My first reaction was ‘who is that guy’ and I am sure I am not alone. We will dive into who Blake […]
The New Orleans Saints dropped to 1-7 against NFC South rival Tampa Bay on Sunday. The loss did come with a quarterback change however, as the team announced that rookie Tyler Shough would now start going forward. Here are how the Saints and their division rivals stack up against the teams with the top 10 […]
Following yet another loss, the teams’ seventh of the season, fans of the New Orleans Saints are left wondering if the offense has finally reached a breaking point under the leadership of first-year Head Coach Kellen Moore. Last Sunday, the Saints fell at the hands of divisional opponent Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-3 final score […]

Tied series yet again. This time one team will end the night one more win away from a championship. It’ll be the Game 1 starters going for both teams tonight, a game that Toronto won at home. That means a rematch between rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage and veteran lefty Blake Snell. Neither pitcher was particularly […]
Even when you’re one of the greatest players to ever play the position of quarterback, you’re never quite untouchable after entering the twilight years of your career. Heck, even Tom Brady — the consensus G.O.A.T. — was let go by the Patriots before ending his career with the Buccaneers (winning his sixth and final Super […]
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. Coming into this game, Tampa Bay was struggling with many injuries and had just lost badly to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. This was a potential trap game, […]
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.

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. For losing teams like the Browns and Jets, it is a chance to get a jump on the market and, potentially, allow contending […]
The regular season is nearly halfway over, and teams will start being eliminated from playoff contention by the end of next month. Tampa Bay is in position to make a playoff push and maintains a comfortable lead over the division. The rest of the South suffered a loss, and none seem like playoff contenders. Here […]
