I mean, it was so predictable that Dak would suddenly figure out how to football because Todd Bowles can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. #Bucs #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles

Jesus. Kick the field goal and you're up 17. Todd Bowles is unbelievably, unbearably bad at his job. #Bucs #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles

no, Kirk Herbstreit, do NOT give Todd Bowles ANY credit. The main reasons the #Bucs are ahead are (1) Bucky Irving is good and (2) Dak Prescott is not. #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles

TOUCHDOWN TAMPA BAY!! A 1-minute, 2-play drive sure looks different than the first half! Thank you, Bucky Irving! #Bucs regain the lead! #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles

The Blues being the first team to surrender a goal to a Celebrini-less Sharks team seems really on brand. #stlblues #AllMyTeamsSuck

That entire sequence was emblematic of what a bad coach Todd Bowles is. Penalties like false starts are generally due to bad preparation, i.e. bad coaching, but the delay of game on the FG attempt is 100% on Bowles and his staff. Pitiful. #Bucs #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles

TOUCHDOWN TAMPA BAY! The #Bucs capitalize on a nearly 11-minute drive to tie the game! Lots of impressive stuff from Jalon Daniels, helped by a couple of defensive penalties. #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles

The brightness on the ESPN+ broadcast of Sharks-#stlblues is turned up so high it's nearly unwatchable. I think my retinas are melting. 😳

Love to see the Yankees lose again. Hate that it was the Rays but what can you do? Go White Sox/Guards, I guess.

Dude! This was my favorite show back then! I graduated from high school in South Florida in 1983 and moved to Virginia for college, so MV was like a reminder of home. I've seen it 2-1/2'times all the way through. How are you watching it? Did you buy it? I can't find it streaming, at least without $.

This is my position. How can they determine whether he would have caught it or not. Batter should be out automatically and runners returned to where they were. (Of course, IDK what the text of the rule says – I'm just proposing an equitable solution.)

Turns out all the good feelings of opening night in Dallas were just smoke and mirrors. The Blues get throttled in Denver and then bounce back with a largely miserable performance against a Blackhawks team missing their star Bedard. Just unconscionable. Or actually they're just a bad team. #stlblues

Ian Cole has played for every team in the NHL and also he is 107 years old or maybe it just feels like all that is true #stlblues

Well, with the possible exception of the final minute, that was a distressingly listless and uninspired period for the Blues. They need to find another gear in the 3rd period. #stlblues

ever since that overturned goal, the Blues have phoned it in pretty pathetic showing against one of the NHL's dregs #stlblues

These #Orioles (under Buck) never won a title, but it wasn't due to a lack of fundamentals or constantly swinging for the fences like today's team. They may not have won it all, but they weren't embarrassing and it was fun to watch them. Mike Elias has destroyed the franchise from within.

That's also the end of the season. The #Bucs are out of it before there's even a slight chill in the air most places. I hope Jason Licht and the team leadership are proud of the hole into which Todd Bowles has driven this once-proud franchise. Fuck them all and #FireBowles. #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe

The #Bucs were not ready for back-to-back blitzes. You can't place too much blame on Daniels for that; coaches need to get him ready for that. #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles

I HATE this clock management by #Bucs coaches. If they weren't still in their own territory I'd understand but if you want flexibility to mix up runs and passes, you ought to have more time. Among other things, Bowles is the worst clock coach in the NFL. #GoBucs #WeAreTheKrewe #FireBowles
