Last time on this bullet train that is the Hanover line we did a whistlestop tour of the Iowa Caucuses preview. See what I did there? Train, whistlestop, the Pauls did a self-titled whistlestop yesterday in Iowa... I'm proud of the quip. We also mentioned the Republican Convention, which is being held in Tampa this year. It got us thinking about Tampa. It's been a rough week for Tampa in the sport department
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired their head coach Raheem Morris this week after going 17-31 over the past three years. Even some of the players mentioned that it wasn't all the coaches fault. We shouldn't expect a Jim Harbaugh to come in and completely revitalize the program. It's going to be a rough ride for awhile. The Rays star Evan Longoria has had to fight off twitter rumors that he wants out or is otherwise disgruntled. The one bright spot in Tampa sports is that the Lightning have been on a three game winning streak, putting them back at .500 for the season. Thanks to the Lightning's mediocracy, Tampa is not all bad this week in the sports world.
On a tangentially related note, the Glazer family, who owns the Buccaneers have announced that money will not be an issue in looking for a new coach. Alex Ferguson may however cautiously remind us that the Glazers are not Sheikh Mansour and his entourage. In gridiron terms, Glazer ain't Jerry Jones, who might be looking for a coach soon too.
