He talked, I typed.
Honored to help tell coach Moore’s story. In stores Labor Day

I wanna say thank you for these podcasts. I’m a uber driver in Daytona and I start at 230am and your podcasts always get my day started right and I appreciate Steve and you for that. Can’t wait for the Todd Bowles interview to drop

NFL took away an OTA from the Bucs for being too physical in the limited contact workouts. They are wearing it as a badge of honor. Rays are on the west coast for series vs Angels and Dodgers. Happy Friday! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Truly don’t think they’re upset about it.

Losing an OTA because the players were getting after it a bit too much isn't the worst thing in the world. Hopefully that energy continues through the summer

The practice was too physical when the league reviewed the tape.

Could you elaborate on what “too many players on the ground mean?” Are they not supposed to have most if not all the players present for OTA’s???

Bucs CB Benjamin Morrison has a leg injury and didn’t practice during Thursday’s OTAs. It’s the offseason so no further details are made available.

My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.

Neither Baker Mayfield nor his agent has asked for $65 million per year. In fact, after the Bucs initial proposal, they haven’t made a counter offer. That might tell you something.

Baker is a good QB but $65 million a year is quite the ask…
