TAMPA, Fla. -- With temperatures in the 90s during the first two days of minicamp, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got some relief Thursday.

They got air conditioning and shaved ice.

Coach Lovie Smith canceled the final practice of minicamp. Instead of practicing, the Bucs went bowling. You can see video of rookie quarterback Jameis Winston picking up a spare below.
