A little over a week ago, I went back to my alma mater with my fiancé to see one of our friends perform in their senior recital. He plays the oboe and, if I may be so bold as to say so, a beautiful oboe at that. The oboe can be a frustrating, difficult instrument (from what I’ve heard and observed, at least), but when played with skill…by god, it’s unparalleled. This

Through a series of events totally unrelated to the current movie, I've recently begun reading some classic Sherlock Holmes stories. They're quick reads and really enjoyable, but (and I don't know what this says about me) I can't help but think that Holmes would make an excellent sabremetrician. Ignoring the obvious problems with this presumption - Holmes is neither alive or real, he was English, and he "lived" during the late 1800s - you can take many of his quotes and apply them directly

No, this lesson is not authorized by the Richard Bisaccia school, nor will it ever be accredited either! ... While watching an old Bucs game, I noticed the Bucs getting the receiving end of a "roughing the kicker" penalty. It reminded me how little we see such calls, because, thanks to the quality of special teams coaches out there like Mr. Bisaccia, well trained rushers who know how to block punts the right way ... Todays rushers don't aim for the punter, they aim for an imaginary spot in FRONT

There were times we loved it, but just as frequently, there were times we hated it. There were times it seemed invincible, but then again, there were times it imploded day in and day out. Heck, this was a bullpen that had Troy Percival and Jason Isringhausen appear in a combined 23 games this year. If we could

We know the Bucs had a late four game slide last year, and couple with the first three games this year, we haven't seen a real win in our last seven regular season games. Ugh. This week, the Bucs go on their second road trip of the year to the nation's capital to face off against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins are coming off
