PRESIDENT NO - STEELERS YES
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Oct. 13, 2026
RUM, ROOFS & A PENNSYLVANIA PROBLEM!
The President’s Not Coming, the Steelers Are—and the Captain Wants Something Retractable!
Pittsburgh Steelers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sunday, October 18, 2026 • 1:00 p.m. ET • Raymond James Stadium
ARRRRGH, ME HEARTIES! Fresh from sinking the Dallas Cowboys, our slightly inebriated Captain returns to Tampa with renewed hope, an empty rum barrel, and a brilliant plan to put a BLOODY ROOF over Raymond James Stadium!
But when the President cancels his visit, the Captain's grand architectural dreams go overboard! Throw in a sarcastic parrot, some suspiciously green-blooded Eagles fans in Procurement, and the Pittsburgh Steelers sailing into Tampa, and we've got another disaster brewing!
POST GAME REPORT 1 72-ounce steak. 1 lost parrot. 1 bite of victory
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Oct. 08, 2026
The Curse Is Broken! The Cowboys Are SUNK! And Somebody Get That Parrot A Map!
Arrr, A swashbuckling tale of wagon trains, Texas longhorns, a 72-ounce steak, an unauthorized bonfire, a suspicious Texas Ranger, and the miraculous discovery that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can actually WIN a football game!:

POST GAME REPORT THE CURSE OF THE CHEESEHEAD CRYPT
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Oct. 04, 2026
One haunted stadium. One battered pirate. One parrot demanding hazard pay..
Arrr, we found the smell—and it came wearin’ cheese hats! Green Bay escaped with a 17–14 victory, leaving our Buccaneers 0–4 and Captain Booty wondering whether Raymond Graves Stadium should start charging admission to its newest haunted attraction: The Hall of Almost:

PRE GAME REPORT THE NIGHTMARE ON TAMPA BAY
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Oct. 01, 2026
A Missing Parrot, a Shipment of Cheese, and the Ghost Ship of Dale Mabry.
Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sunday, October 4, 2026 • 1:00 p.m. ET • Raymond James Stadium
The feathered deserter had selected Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream for his pregame excursion—an actual seasonal haunt, unlike the stadium attraction currently operating only inside me exhausted imagination.
A Sunday that ends with the cannons getting the last word. A walk out of the stadium that looks less like an evacuation. A Monday morning when someone asks about the game and we do not immediately change the subject to the parking.
Another mostly seaworthy, slightly rum-soaked tale from the logbook of W.P. Rader, Professor Jam, a.k.a. Captain Booty.
POST GAME REPORT PURPLE HAZE - YELLOW FLAGS
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Sept. 27, 2026
After Cincinnati, the Cleveland hounds, my unfortunate disagreement with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and a home opener that required both a football ticket and an understanding of flood insurance, I had simplified my expectations. But before we discuss the purple invasion, the disappearing touchdown, and my urgent proposal to replace certain offensive holding techniques with supervised rowing lessons, let us recognize where Tampa Bay was absolutely winning.

PRE GAME REPORT HAS THE SMELL GONE?
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Sept. 25, 2026
Rated ARRR—for excessive tailgating, questionable navigation, and unwavering loyalty to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cincinnati damaged the ship. Cleveland followed the scent home. And now, after two weeks of nautical misfortune, our beloved Buccaneers have achieved a mathematically perfect 0–2 start, taking up residence in fourth place in the NFC South.
Another entry from the slightly rum-soaked logbook of W.P. Rader aka Captain Booty
POST GAME REPORT HOUNDED AT HOME
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Sept. 20, 2026
Arrr… before we discuss football, I wish to clarify three matters.
The incident at the Clevland Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was a misunderstanding. That velvet rope looked remarkably like spare rigging. And when somebody shouted “Free Bird,” nobody specifically told me they weren’t addressing the parrot.

POST GAME REPORT | SHIPWRECKED IN CINCINNATI
TAMPA, FLORIDA –– W.P. Rader –– Published Sept. 13, 2026
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sailed into Cincinnati with full sails, cannons loaded, the flags flying, and enough optimism aboard to carry us through another championship voyage. We departed Paycor Stadium several hours later without our treasure, our dignity, or any clear explanation for why the football suddenly became as slippery as a greased cannonball.:
