Defenses worth looking at for playoff push

in Sports/Top Headlines by

You would have been hard-pressed to find many fantasy owners riding the Kansas City Chiefs defense one month into the season. The team had just surrendered a combined 74 points the two previous games on the way to a 1-3 start. The final month of the season is a different story. The Chiefs have a superb set of matchups during the rest of the fantasy football season and are a must-add for anyone looking for a defensive lift in the…

The ultimate running game: a Tom Brady play for president

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Never mind what Tom Brady says about making a play for the White House: Fans are clinging to 0.0001 odds he’ll reconsider the ultimate running game someday. For a cover story, GQ magazine asked its 2015 Man of the Year if he’d ever consider a run for the White House — or at least for governor of Massachusetts. “There is a 0.000 chance of me ever wanting to do that,” Brady said. “I just think that no matter what you’d…

Dolphins hope rejuvenated season can get them past New England

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Can anyone beat the New England Patriots? And if so, can anyone be a team that started as one of the biggest disappointments of the NFL? The Miami Dolphins, left for dead under Joe Philbin, have now won two straight games under interim coach Dan Campbell and have a shot at saving their season. The Dolphins have had easier challenges than the undefeated Patriots of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. New England has lost only once in its last 22…

NFL headset technology improving but not perfect

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The NFL upgraded the coach-to-player communication system three years ago and now it’s apparent the coach-to-coach headsets are due for an upgrade, too. After Pittsburgh’s 28-21 loss at New England in the 2015 opener, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin complained about headset failures, which he charged are “always the case” when playing in New England. The Steelers said Friday they don’t plan to file a formal complaint and the league said the Patriots did nothing wrong. But the Patriots are under…

Plenty to prove in 2015 for many of NFL’s key figures

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Nice job, Tom Brady. Peyton Manning, you’re up next. The 39-year-old quarterback is under pressure to prove his decline at the end of last season was because of  a torn thigh and not time catching up to him like a linebacker firing through the line unblocked. His boss, John Elway, is trying to take some load off his shoulders just like the Broncos did during Elway’s own Super Bowl runs in the late 1990s when a good ground game and…

Oration Week 2010: Daniel Webster’s Seventh of March speech

in Apolitical by

Of all the dorky things I do, and trust me there are many my absolute favorite nerdly function is to recite the Funeral Speech from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, which I will be performing at random spots in downtown St. Pete this Ides of March. A couple of years ago, to set the tone for the speech, I created my own holiday, spread across a week, to celebrate great moments in Oration (yes, this sounds like Festivus). Accordingly, from March 7-15,…
