    Review: Pitbull's Tampa concert was a hot-blooded Florida ...
    At Amalie Arena in Tampa Saturday night, Mr. Florida was home. "We came from California, Texas," Pitbull said. "It's nice to be in Florida baby." Over the next 90 minutes, the state's official tourism ambassador made us pretended like we actually make it to the beach or the club every day. "Nobody parties like folks from Florida. ... We got that hot blood. ... We home, we in Tampa now." I nearly forgot he was getting paid to say it. The official advertisement came before Pitbull took the stage. ..

    Depth a question for Bucs at receiver after Jackson and Evans
    TAMPA — The Bucs purchased three cryogenic chambers for their training room that are set at minus-200 degrees to help players make a fast recovery. They may want to find a way to put receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson in a deep freeze after every game this season, because if either gets hurt, Jameis Winston is going to be swallowing a lot of footballs.

It's owned by a local couple who wants to ..
