[stevej37]

TB tickets will be hard to get this year...if they play.

Leonard Fournette is rumored to be headed there also.
Could be a very fun season for Tampa Bay

[mattdavis11]

They will be so stacked, if they don't win it all, we will know it was all Belichek and Vinateri.

[stevej37]

Tampa's tv ratings will be thru the roof.
I know I'll be watching.

[Joe Bob]

Gronk has had way too many hits to the head......

[Baz]

Meh....No Fun League.....

^^^ Sunday with no NFL?? I do like college football more...but the NFL is fun also.

For me there's too many prima donnas.

Too much celebrations and antics on the field.

Sure - you stopped the opponent from getting a first down. Now go back to your side and sit down and wait until it's your turn to play again. No one wants to watch you acting like a dang fool!

Stopped caring after that dingus from SF started hating on our country and the league condoned his behavior.

Haven’t really missed it.

This bodes well for Brady. I’ve read a couple of articles about Brady’s success being related to his tight ends. Supposedly, using some analytics, Gronk was as valuable to the team as Brady. The way good receiving tight ends change the dynamics of the field make it possible for a quarterback like Brady to exploit situations and excellence. Apparently he is unusually reliant on and successful with excellent tight ends.

+1 here. Just play the damm game.
This stuff, the kneeling and overwhelming commercials have pushed me away from the NFL.
Much rather watch rugby with none of this.

But, TB will be interesting to watch on ESPN highlights this season.

Ironically, the patriots are known for being the only team in the league that does not allow those antics.

He hadn't played for a while when 99% of us even heard about it either...LOL.

I'll watch TB at least twice....chalk up two losses for Carolina already

Brady Bunch reruns....good stuff !

[stevej37]

I predict..(if the NFL plays) that Tampa Bays first games will win the tv ratings for the first half of the season.
Quite a coup by the TB management.

[RWebb]

Brady already cheated - even w/o a season to play in

(just keepin' it real)

[cabmandone]

Has to be a ticket sale move. As I understand it, TB had a really solid TE.

So where did Winston go?

I read that Winston's waiting for a starter job . . . king of picks and all that.

I was happy to see Mariota go to a team where the starter is on thin ice - I thought he did well at Tennessee considering the constant turnover in coaching and strategy, he had a new QB coach every year it seems like, and much of the time they didn't use him in sync with his talents. Hopefully he'll get a second chance.
