Why wait? Time for Bucs fans to start missing Jameis Winston

NASHVILLE — Here in the land of love-sick country ballads where the dog dies, the pickup truck tires are slashed and somebody leaves a note on the way out of town, Bucs fans should already start missing Jameis Winston.

Oh, he's not gone, gone, gone just yet.

Winston doesn't have to leave the building until after the Bucs' final preseason game against Jaguars on Aug. 30, when he begins serving a three-game suspension.

But anybody who bleeds pewter and red should start missing him already.

Just consider the highlight reel he packed into the first half of Saturday night's 30-14 preseason win over the Titans.
