We don’t usually talk about that other sport around here, but this time it actually has to do with football.

Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune notes that the Bucs will practice at Tropicana Field on Thursday with hopes that the Tampa Bay Rays’ incredible mojo will rub off on them.

This sounded odd, but it’s apparently true.

Coach Raheem Morris just better hope his team doesn’t fall nine games behind before making their late season rally.
