Largely irrevelevant, yes.
But they were two points away from a Super Bowl birth in '79-'80, and were a playoff mainstay, gaining significant momentum with Florida fans, during their '79-'82 run with the LeRoy Selmon - Doug Williams core. Then, following the shortened strike season of '82, their then-miserable excuse for an owner decided that it was really easy to replace Williams, allowing him to head to the USFL. After that, they made too many organizational/personnel miscues, leading to a long period of futility, and their fan base throughout the state dwindled.
Placing this into perspective, then owner, Hugh Culverhouse post '82 made '90's Mike Brown look like Jerry Jones. IIRC, it was several years into the Glazer ownership-era until they began the path back to respectability and contention.

Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

The NFL said yesterday that two players and five staff tested positive for COVID-19 this weekend. Anyone hear who the players were?

Brady will get to look great against the inexperienced Panther Secondary this Sunday. Derek Carr did anything he absolutely wanted to do against them. As always, Carolina's Coaches will turn their Secondary into a very good one, but that takes even the best of Coaches a little bit of time. Brady is catching them at the right moment.

It's funny that TB12 is a TBB. Are alot of baseball fans live in Florida still fans of other teams who move there to avoid winter weather?

The people that come to Florida for the winter only are likely to remain loyal to the team they have long supported if from the US, but US "snowbirds" are mostly a thing of the past outside higher net worth individuals. Much of the people that continue to live in Florida only for the winter are Canadian and very open to supporting FL sports teams. In regards to people moving permanently to Florida, weather has not been the common primary reason for decades, but even they are likely to remain loyal to their "hometown" team initially and often forever. It is their kids that will often begin to support a Florida team. I assume it would be the same for anyone moving anywhere, just probably not a noticeable in a state like Massachusetts which receives very little national migration.

Love the sound of firing cannons in Tampa Bay!
