After receiving word that a local Florida high school may have to turn kids away from their fall football program due to a lack of equipment, the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation donated $17,900 for new shoulder pads and helmets. Go Space Coast Vipers! 🏈🥳

Today’s Bucs-Broncos injury report… Rachaad White limited by that groin injury. Still no participation for Luke Goedeke but he was standing on the sideline and Bowles said it was positive that he was walking outdoors (although briefly as they were practicing indoors today).

I didn’t even know they still sold VHS copies of the Lion King 🦁…or any movie for that matter 🤣

Last week, it was diapers. This week, it’s football equipment. Baker and Emily Mayfield donated $17,900 to Space Coast Junior/Senior High Vipers for new helmets and pads. I asked him what’s next. He said, “I don’t know. Santa Claus seems like he’s coming early.”

Bucs rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan (J MAC) gifted the Edison Computech Middle School girls’ volleyball team in Fresno, California brand new Nike Sabrina 1 “Dedication” shoes. Their season started earlier this month.

Today’s Bucs-Broncos injury report…still no Luke Goedeke and no Calijah Kancey. No Vita Vea.

“We can’t look ahead for anything,” coach Todd Bowles said. “We’re not good enough.” Inside the Bucs’ mindset as they approach the chance to go 3-0 for the first time since 2005 and just the fifth time in franchise history: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Still no Luke Goedeke for the Bucs — he suffered a concussion in Week 1 against Washington — so we could see another week of Justin Skule on the right side. They surrendered 4.5 sacks to Aidan Hutchinson on that side in Week 2. Luke Allen up next.

Vita Vea (Grade 2 MCL sprain) did come out just before the portion of practice that is open to media ended…we’ll see what kind of update coach Todd Bowles has for us at noon. Ideally he doesn’t have to play this week. But CJ Brewer and Mike Greene have already been called up

So I went up to QBs coach Thad Lewis to let him know that we share the same tailor (Virginia, she’s on Lois and Kennedy) and said how much she adores him. Well now Bowles thinks we are BFFs and we’re gonna go get manicures together (who has time for that in-season?!). Ruthless!

I’m told it’s “week to week.” He hasn’t practiced on it yet though.

Lyft driver on the way to the eye doc couldn’t believe I knew every word to “Just My Imagination” when it came on his playlist. Couldn’t tell you anything about today’s artists but I KNOW my Temptations and I KNOW Eddie Kendricks’ falsetto. Then he says, “You’re old.”

Bucs won’t have to use a practice squad elevation this week on CJ Brewer cuz they just promoter him to the active roster. They have waived cornerback Keenan Isaac. Good sign for Josh Hayes’ healing on that injured ankle. He said he’s feeling better.
