It's not something they want to try every week, but the Bucs staged a thrilling, come-from-behind, overtime victory Sunday by throwing the ball. And throwing it. Quarterback Brian Griese overcame three interceptions to rally the Bucs from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit against Chicago, the team that traded him to Tampa Bay in the offseason. He attempted a Buccaneer franchise-record 67 passes. He outdueled Chicago's Kyle Orton, completing 38 for 407 yards, both career highs. He threw two touchdowns, including one that tied the game with seven seconds left in regulation. STORY, BUCS BONUS ...more

Referring to the dozens of traffic lights in Sebring-Avon Park U.S. 27 area and north on U.S. 27, the use of sensors to prevent the running of red lights will create other problems: mainly motorists like myself will either continually slam on brakes on yellow to avoid a possible ticket or alternately drive at 20 mph in order to stop within the three seconds allowed on yellow before the red light. Almost all U.S. 27 lights change to yellow when I approach within 140 yards of them and three seconds is not enough time to make it through the red. As a retiree on a fixed pension, I cannot just work overtime to pay any traffic fine. A traffic ticket to seniors means no food for weeks to pay any fines or the loss of the car, and so no means to get food in. My solution is to drive very slow, in order to stop within three seconds, but unfortunately I must drive in the fast outside lanes to avoid transport trucks (most of them cannot stop and do not stop for these red lights) from crashing into my car at the rear, and most trucks travel the inside lanes. ...more
