Aside from buying the odd ticket here and there, should the politicians of Florida be spending money on the professional sports teams of the state? It’s a decent question at a time the Tampa Bay Bucs, Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars are among the teams with their hands out. The Bucs filed their application for money โ€“ as much as $1 million a year โ€“ on Monday. The Bucs, at an impasse with their negotiations with the Tampa Sports Authority…

This is the state of Don Shula. Dan Marino played here. Lee Roy Selmon. And Tony Boselli. Larry Csonka. Derrick Brooks. Maurice Jones-Drew. The Dolphins won Super Bowls. The Bucs won a Super Bowl.

The Bucs won a 22-17 victory over the Dolphins, and in the last stages of the game, safety Keith Tandy picked off Freeman twice to snuff out Miami’s final threats and, finally, gave Bucs’ fans a reason to celebrate Freeman throwing interceptions.

Dolphins re-sign Josh Freeman, who may make it to camp after all

in Sports/Top Headlines by

He’s back. Josh Freeman, who has been hanging onto his NFL career by a thread, has been re-signed by the Miami Dolphins only days after he was released by them. For Freeman, it should be sobering news just how few observers were surprised he had been cut, even before training camp.

Dolphins cut former Buc QB Josh Freeman before camp

For Josh Freeman, it is over before it has begun. Again. Freeman, the one-time future of the Tampa Bay Bucs, was waived by the Miami Dolphins Friday before the team ever got to training camp. Freeman, 27, has had a series of brief stays since being drummed out of Tampa Bay. He played one game with the Minnesota Vikings, then was with the New York Giants briefly in the off-season, and now lasted only the three quietest months of the…
