Tom Brady Visits Disney World - Will He Join The Dark Side?

Tom Brady Goes To Disney World. When Tom Brady went to Disney World over the Easter Weekend, my only question was whether he would join the dark side, or stay with the good guys. The encounter was filmed, and you can see it HERE. Can the Bucs repeat? Of course.

#WhyILiveInFlorida - Opening Day Should Be Played In Spring Sunshine.

Miguel Cabrera Hits Home Run In Snowstorm In the "Are You Kidding Me?" department today, we have the Detroit Tigers playing their MLB Opening Day game in 31 degrees with snow flurries. At first, I thought it had to be the world's best April Fool's day joke. I hereby resolve never to leave the sunny shores of Florida again. Brrrrrr....

What's In A Name?

Washington Football Team. When you see the photograph below, what immediately enters your mind? Of course, an NFL player for the Washington Football Team. And, when you hear WFT what is the first thing that pops into your head? Of course, the team that had to change their name from the Redskins because someone was offended. Do not the powers that be, and the offended, realize that the Redskins have received more publicity for the name change than they could have received in 2 lifetimes if they were just left alone? This reminds me of an old trial lawyer's trick. Suppose a witness is testifying, and the lawyer fails to object to an obviously irrelevant or immaterial question before the witness states the answer? The lawyer loudly objects and the Judge grants the objection. Too late, the jurors have already heard the answer. The lawyer, not satisfied, asks the Judge to instruct the jury not to consider the answer. So, the Judge looks the jury in the eyes and says: "You are instructed to disregard the answer this witness just gave" (And I mean it). For the rest of the trial, what do you think the jurors are thinking about? Oh, the conscientious ones will make an effort; but, human nature will prevail. Now, for the rest of your life, when you see an NFL team without a name (the Washington Football Team), the only thing you will be thinking about is that they used to be called the Washington Redskins. That is why I think the Skins might just keep the WFT non-name. Call it a silent protest against political correctness.

MLBTV - The Boys Of Spring Are Back.

MLBTV Live Stream Games. Any American boy who has grown up in the last century has a great love for baseball. We can all remember the smell of the grass, the crack of the bat, and the best plays we made in Little League and later. I remember winning a batting trophy, in a Little League season when I batted .571, and I remember pitching in an All Star game and walked 6 batters in a row, before striking out the side. It helped that my dad was the Coach. These days, I am relegated to watching the games on TV during a Pandemic, but that is made much easier by my cell phone carrier, TMobile. TMobile provides free access for the year to its subscribers as part of the Tuesday program of discounts and gifts from the company. This one is special, though, as a subscription costs $129.95 a year. That is like a $10 a month discount on your cell phone bill. TMobile has done this for the last couple of years, and it is a daily used app on my devices. Let's go Rays. This time, win the whole thing.

#TBT - Why Sports Broadcasters Don't Know Anything.

Cowherd On Bucs Super Bowl Chances. For today's throwback Thursday, I give you Colin Cowherd, who, for those of you not football fans, is a well known, well paid, football pundit who pretends to know what the hell he is talking about, and gets paid big bucks to do it. Flashback to November 10, 2020, after the Bucs and new QB Tom Brady lost in a blowout to the New Orleans Saints. Cowherd thinks that the Bucs no longer have a chance to win the SuperBowl and that Brady can't win playoff games on the road. In fact, he picked the then current playoff leading teams, Seattle, Philadelphia and New Orleans to punctuate his point. In fact, Brady and the Bucs faced better teams, led by Super Bowl winning QBs Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers, and then won the Super Bowl against the flashiest QB of them all, Patrick Mahomes. Every time Cowherd pretends to be a football expert, this short clip should be played. Colin, Colin, Colin. Never bet against the GOAT.

 

Tom Brady Wins 28th SuperBowl At Age 74.

In case you thought Tom Brady would finally retire, you were wrong. Quoting the FutureLawyer after his 28th SuperBowl victory, Brady reportedly said "Retirement is for sissies and dead people". "Why would I retire? Just to sit around watching NFL Network game replays?" Brady's retirement has been predicted for decades; but, the aging QB just keeps on going. Will 2051 be the last time we see Brady tossing TD passes to Rob Gronkowski? Don't bet on it.

Age Is Just A Number.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Are World Champions.

Bucs Win Super Bowl LV Every 18 years or so, the Bucs win a Super Bowl. Since I won't live another 18 years (probably), I am taking a day off blogging to enjoy this one.

Super Bowl Sunday. Why I Live In Florida.

I am writing this from my home garage/den, with the Air Conditioner going full blast. It is humid and warm outside. By tonight, it will be a little chilly (61 degrees F.), but perfect for the Super Bowl. Whether the Bucs win or lose, I will still be living in Florida. Come on down. The weather's fine.

Why I Will Be Watching The SuperBowl On TV With Most Other People.

Super Bowl XLV. Many friends who know that I have been a Bucs Season Ticket Holder since 1976 have asked if I am going to the game tomorrow in person. The answer is No; but, not because I can't get tickets. Seats in the Upper Bowl (that's nosebleed section for you yahoos) have been set aside for long term Season Ticket members. They don't include the markups that scalpers are charging; but, let's be blunt. They aren't affordable, even then. How does $4,800 per ticket, high enough that you need binoculars to see, sound? Yes, I agree. As an example, in 1984, a season ticket holder lottery got me a ticket to see my Redskins play the Raiders. Cost for upper deck? $60. Season tickets that year were $12 per game. If I go this year, and pay the equivalent of a small car price, I won't be able to sit in a recliner, with a beer and a cigar at hand, wearing comfortable lounge wear, and not having to wear a Covid 19 mask. That's not counting tax, parking, concessions, and having to use a public restroom. Or, having your temperature taken to get in, trying to keep six feet away from people who have had too much to drink, and, well, I think you realize by now that this decision is a no brainer. By the way, while I would like the Bucs to win, it really doesn't matter to the rest of us, does it? The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. It's all just part of the circle of life. Enjoy the game. I will.
