It Could Be Worse for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Erik Bedard, Michael Vick, and more…

- Gary Shelton made us all remember as bad as 2013 was for the fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, at least we aren’t the Browns. Cleveland gives dysfunctional a new name.
- Tom Jones explains a sentiment I believe in, and have touched briefly on here. Put your love for dogs aside for a minute and think in strictly football terms and you will realize the Buccaneers should sign Michael Vick.
- Joey Knight writes about the USF Bulls baseball team. Their goal, behind the arm of reigning Big East Rookie of the Year Jimmy Herget, to make it to Omaha.
- New Bucs wide receivers coach Andrew Hayes-Stoker answered some questions on Buccaneers.com. One topic that came up, putting more leadership responsibilities on the team’s best playmaker, Vincent Jackson. We all know Mike Williams could use some mentoring.
- MLB.com says the Rays have signed veteran pitcher Erik Bedard to a minor league deal. However, the expectation is that the 34-year old signed with Tampa Bay with the mindset of competing for the No. 5 spot in the rotation. The spot which is available while Jeremy Hellickson rehabs from offseason elbow surgery, will be one of the hottest position battles of the Spring.
- Brian McNally, of the Washington Times, explains a how perhaps the Nationals made a good move giving up Nathan Karns to the Rays. He argues that advanced statistics say Jose Lobaton is an excellent defensive catcher.
