When watching “Pirates, Galleons, and Treasure: Globe Trekker”, one certainly does learn something about pirates and their history. However, that does not mean the documentary is particularly useful. In fact, the documentary while mostly accurate still has some small discrepancies and does not provide enough detail for it to be helpful to those actually studying pirates. The documentary is a fun resource for those who want basic facts, but leaves some facts to assumptions and seems to gloss over some information. It tends to focuses on myths and interesting stories that may have been true rather than the truth. More attention is also put on cities rather pirates and when it does focus on the pirates, it is not done well. It tends to highlight the successes of the pirates and shows a bias towards making them seem more tough and dangerous than they were. All in all, it is difficult to believe that this documentary would be useful in the academic world, especially when looking at how they illustrate certain pirates and their lives. While the documentary does talk about numerous pirates, they only go in depth for a handful. That handful includes Sir Francis Drake, Captain Henry Morgan, Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and Blackbeard “Edward Teach”. Though these pirates are described more than others, details from their life are still left unexplained and unanswered. To begin with, Sir Drake is described as Queen Elizabeth’s “favourite privateer” and “her own legal…

Last Sunday, the Buccaneers escaped with a win against the New York Giants. Kicker Nick Folk grazed a 34-yard field goal to knock off the Giants 25-23 and send them to 0-4. Folk had previously missed two other field goals and an extra point in the game. The Buccaneers have the New England Patriots on Thursday in Tampa. When the scheduled came out saying we had to play the Patriots, I won't lie, I thought we were in for a bad game. Now I look at this game as a very easily winnable game. The…

to do be able to do that. We used to take the boat out and go to a restaurant on the beach. That was always fun, while you’re eating you can stare at a beautiful ocean view.

Henry Morgan launched pursuit on the city of Panama and it's wealth. With the city out of reach from the shore, Morgan began the morning by giving the call to his men to press inward from the shore across the mainland and jungle to the city. Within the first few hours it seemed Morgan and his buccaneers had the upper hand. The Spaniards caught wind of Morgan's decent on the city and sent men out along with Don Juan, the city's councilmen and head of defense. Morgan's men anticipated the…

Kendell Beckwith, O.J. Howard, Justin Evans, and Chris Godwin are the Buccaneers rookies and after playing in only one game they have not really had much of a chance to show case their abilities. However, Kendell Beckwith and O.J. Howard played fairly well last week. Beckwith saw his first regular season action vs the Bears, he wasn't outstanding, but he did show off what he is capable in the time he was on the field. Beckwith played in the entire game as middle linebacker, strong side…

downfall, no one was buying Febreze products, and this is because smells will at some point desensitize. Febreze was in panic mode. However the company was able to do a different advertising strategy, which was to change their slogan and as well as how they are selling the product. Habit change, some habits are needed to change because they may be unhealthy or can be a good thing. Tony Dungy a former NFL coach of the Buccaneers would teach players on how to improve their habits instead of make…

Jameis Winston will sit again this week due to his shoulder injury and Ryan Fitzpatrick will get his third consecutive start. Doug Martin will finally have to have a good game again in order for Fitzpatrick to turn into Fitzmagic, which will be necessary if we want to compete…

The Buccaneers haven’t exactly kept it a secret that they will spend a lot of time this season running a no-huddle, hurry-up offense. Second year quarterback Jameis Winston and the Bucs offense put together their best game of the preseason against the Cleveland Browns when Tampa ran out of the no-huddle every play the starters were on the field. Head coach Dirk Koetter surely couldn’t expect to use the hurry-up approach that much in a regular season game, could he? Winston and the offense have…
