Stop us if you've heard this before:
The buzz that marked Guy Boucher's first season, the seismic culture change, has been absent through six games, writes Martin Fennelly.
He hasn't played a down in 56 weeks. His team never turned its back on him, as if the Bucs turn their backs on anyone who has game. That's a story for another time, and there will be another time. The Bucs still need Tanard Jackson and Tanard Jackson needs the Bucs. You can see the end of the line from here.
The curtain went up on the brand-new Forum on Monday night.
When he won the Indianapolis 500 late last May, Martin Fennelly remembers thinking just how lucky Dan Wheldon was.
He hasn't played a down of football in 56 weeks. His team never turned its back on him, as if the Bucs turn their backs on anyone who has game. That's a story for another time, and there will be another time. The Bucs still need Tanard Jackson and Tanard Jackson needs the Bucs. You can see the end of the line from here.
Let there be light … and we mean light.

Stephen Garcia and Tanard Jackson have a lot in common. They're both young, and neither is an arch criminal. They just can't beat their problems, writes Martin Fennelly. They can't get it right.
It was Dec. 6, 1982.
It was Dec. 6, 1982.
For 29 years, they were the Big Three. But now, Martin Fennelly says they're just three college football teams looking to return to national prominence.
The Lightning were on a preseason trip last week in Canada, but baseball fan Steven Stamkos still managed to catch the final Rays game of the regular season on TV. He saw them come from seven runs down, and watched Evan Longoria circle the bases.
ST. PETERSBURG This wasn't in the script.
This wasn't in the script.
The Rays have been in far deeper holes than this, so they're approaching today's game as optimistic as ever, Martin Fennelly writes.
David Price has to step up for his team in Game 3 of the ALDS against the Texas Rangers or his club is in deep trouble, Martin Fennelly writes. The Rays need him. He owes them.
The Bucs' return to prime-time offers veteran cornerback Ronde Barber a chance to come full circle, writes Martin Fennelly.
Ronde Barber never gets old. Neither does "Monday Night Football."
Florida hit the first true test of the season, and it began with promise. It ended with reality. Alabama is the better better team.
They came all this way for this?
They're tied. That's all you need to know. All together now: They're tied. The Rays very own Impossible Dream couldn't be stopped Monday night, and neither could the Red Sox express train back to Bucky and Buckner Land.
They're tied.
So the dead heat is dead -- for now.
This is really real. The Incredible Shrinking Baseball Team they were chasing was losing 2-0 before the Rays even took the field Sunday afternoon at the Trop.
