The eyes of Buc Nation are fixed on the man with the new eyes, and that’s understandable.
Not a day goes by without hundreds of Tweets speculating about the potential fate of Jameis Winston, who has had five years to prove himself as a franchise quarterback. We still don’t know the answer, and quite frankly, neither does Tampa Bay’s brain trust. (more…)

Jameis Winston’s fate was always going to be in the hands, heart and mind of Bruce Arians, and that dynamic hasn’t changed a bit.
What HAS changed is the fact that discussions between Arians and Buccaneer ownership on this rather sensitive topic have already commenced — if not concluded. Your favorite source for Buc information has learned that the Winston question has indeed been addressed in person by the key parties. (more…)

The Pro Football Hall of Fame sent me an advisory this week regarding voting for the NFL’s All-Decade team.
The Hall’s 48 selectors will soon receive ballots listing the most dominant players at their positions from 2010-2019. The announcement is expected to be made in April, close to when the 2020 league schedule is revealed. (more…)

It’s an emotional column today from The Sage of Tampa Bay Sports, presented by Ira’s good friend Sean Sullivan, Bill Currie Ford general manager, who will personally help you get the best value on your next vehicle purchase.
