Joe has to offer up a golf clap — as much as Joe loathes golf — to Stephen Holder and his elders at the St. Petersburg Times  for this quality video report, a far cry from the Max Headroom stunt Holder was likely forced to record last year.

During the 2009 training camp, Joe wondered aloud why the St. Petersburg Times saw fit to have John Cotey and Joey Knight produce top-notch video for prep sports, but relegated the paper’s top sports beat to such amateurish video that a teacher at Lakewood High School would flunk a student over it was so low-rent.

Good to see the St. Petersburg Times figure out that its top sports beat — the Bucs — was worthy of top video production.
