By Stephen F. Holder, Times Staff Writer Saturday, May 26, 2012 TAMPA The Bucs, like all NFL teams, begin practice with a set of stretching and calisthenics routines. In the past, you'd usually find players on the field ready to go, on time, lined up by position. Except for one: Kellen Winslow. The tight end typically ambled out of the building about 15 minutes into practice, taking his place ...

Surely the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a contingency plan in place. Right ? After all, they've had all offseason to ponder the very real possibility that their best cover corner, Aqib Talib , could be sentenced to significant jail time—five to 20 years— depending on the outcome of his criminal case in Texas, which is scheduled to begin late next month. But again, I'm sure the Bucs have the whole ...

Within a matter days, a player who had not missed a single game in three years as a Buccaneer was ousted from his job and shipped to the opposite corner of America. One can say that Greg Schiano defiantly asserted his authority as head coach. Still, the Kellen Winslow trade raises some questions for Tampa Bay. First, one must wonder if the 32 year-old Dallas Clark can come onto the field in a ...

By Gary Shelton, Times Sports Columnist Friday, May 25, 2012 In the world of literature, there are writers who can turn a phrase. There are those who can paint a scene. There are those who can develop characters so real that you can see their faces. Then there is Warren Sapp, author. On third and long, I am relatively sure that he could kick William Faulkner's butt. Not only that, I am also ...

By Stephen F. Holder, Times Staff Writer Wednesday, May 23, 2012 TAMPA — Suppose your boss made coming to work today optional and — technically — couldn't penalize you for not showing up. Would you? Would it matter if staying home could allow co-workers to gain an upper hand on you? This, in essence, is a decision NFL players face each offseason. Outside of a three-day minicamp that is mandatory ...

Yes, OTAs—that's NFL -speak for Organized Team Activities—are "voluntary." So says the CBA—the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which is the peace treaty between the Players Union and the owners. For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , you're talking about a situation where these OTAs are voluntary in theory, but in reality they are mandatory. There are a lot of reasons they're mandatory, so let's get ...

Just a week ago, there was a significant chance that the New England Patriots were going to add yet another weapon to their already crowded arsenal when they hosted former Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark for a workout at Gillette Stadium. That ultimately did not happen as Clark went on to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . If Clark were to have signed with the Patriots, he would ...
