Tampa Bay Residents Surprisingly Productive on Sunday

Tampa residents were amazingly productive on Sunday. As it turned out, the Tampa Bay Bucs didn't play until 4:15pm, thus contributing to an increase in laundry, yard work, sleeping in, and holiday shopping.

"Because of the late game, I was able to sleep in." stated Patty. "I usually get up around eleven and am schnockered by half-time, which is usually around 3pm, but I was was able to put off that getting out of bed and starting to drink stuff until later in the day."

However, the late game had more dire consequences for long time Tampa Bay area resident, Jim. He was able to play some basketball with some local kids. But due to his advanced age and deteriorating physical condition, he is now nursing a pulled calf muscle. "I'm just lucky is wasn't a groin muscle," Jim reported, continuing to mumble something about "kids today" and "whipper-snappers."

Though most Tampa Bay residents were not pleased with the outcome of the game, they were pleased with the later than normal 4:15 game. Those who were watching the game from an outdoor location found it to be a little chilly towards the end.
