From the outside, looking in: Entitlement

November 2, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

I’m writing this post as I sit watching on TV the final of 4 NFL games in London this year. It’s one of very few I have missed over the 10 years since the “International Series” began in the UK.  It wasn’t all that long ago we only had one per year.  Of the 21 …Read More

From the outside, looking in: Bucs fans march,together

September 6, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

I listened to the recent podcast announcement of the proposed Bucs fans groups coming together, whilst out on a run. Despite my legs aching and sweat pouring down my face, I felt a smile creeping in. Not just because the sense of togetherness between the Bucs fan groups sounded amazing, but also as it drew …Read More

From the outside, looking in: Hope or expectation as a Bucs fan

August 11, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

I’ve started my latest article before I have seen episode one of Hard Knocks, which began this week in the US. I’m really keen to see how the story plays out, but I’m mindful that it is exactly that, a story. I really enjoy the show. I’ve have watched it the past few years as …Read More

From the outside, looking in: Football vs Football

July 24, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

I’ve spent the majority of my life following a different kind of football. When you have a sport ingrained in your life, you subconsciously absorb the intricacies of it. The rules, the players, the stadium names etc. I’ve had to learn this all over again since my Bucs journey began 6 years ago. In my efforts …Read More

From the outside, looking in: Bucs news in the UK

June 26, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

I am faced with a few complications as far as keeping up to date with the Bucs news in the UK. Distance is obviously a big one, 4454 miles to be precise from door to door. Then there is the time difference, Tampa is 5 hours behind the city I live in. Twitter helps bridge some …Read More

From the outside, looking in: A Bucs fan in England

June 14, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

My name is Simon and I’m a Bucs fan in England.  I’ve been a fan of the NFL for a while, watching quite literally from afar.  I live in the east of England, Norwich to be precise.  When I was younger, my interaction with American Football was restricted to the Superbowl highlights program.  With the …Read More
