Baker Mayfield
Joe didn’t think Cody Mauch’s story of him allowing a male fan to put a digit in his mouth could topped on the raunchy scale, but Baker Mayfield managed to do it. (more…)

Dial up a loaded JoeBucsFan Show at 3 p.m. on Saturday on WDAE radio, 95.3 FM and AM 620. Listen online, too, or via the iHeart Radio app. Don’t forget the Saturday fun on WDAE starts this week with Rock Riley at 10 a.m.
Joe’s been back on the WDAE airwaves every Saturday since February. Varying times.
Rookie Bucs playcaller Josh Grizzard.
Rookie Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard has never called plays on any level other than the scout team with the Dolphins and a little bit in Tampa Bay’s June minicamp. (more…)
Credit where credit is due.
Yes, we are inching toward training camp next week — next week! (more…)
Slowed down?
This is partially for the crowd that reveres the close-only-counts-in-horseshoes-and-hand-grenades sect of pass rushing. (more…)
Over 2,000 yards a goal?
What are the chances Bucs running back Bucky Irving has a season for the ages? (more…)
Road throwbacks, too.
The Bucs threw Joe a curveball this month. (more…)
Last week, Joe took a poke at Jacob Robinson and Dianna Russini for a backhanded slap to the Bucs in their look at the NFC South champs for TheAthletic.com.
They wrote the Bucs are “stronger than most realize,” as if they really ran around neighborhood bars and their New York Times newsroom looking for fans’ take on the NFC South champs of the past four seasons. (more…)
Bucs edge rusher David Walker, the Central Arkansas rookie.
Way too many people are placing far too much importance on fourth-round pick rookie David Walker emerging as a stud Bucs pass rush threat this season.
Joe hopes that happens, but damn, Joe has no problem declaring now that the Bucs can win playoff games even if Walker is a bust who never sees the field. (more…)
Most coaches hate being asked to name players they need to step up unless it’s an obvious injury situation. (more…)
Legendary Bucs cornerback Rondé Barber loves calling himself a true Bucs insider.
It’s accurate. He not only works for official team media, he spends time with players and Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. (more…)
More questions.
Joe doesn’t know why in the past two days, potshots have been taken at Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht, questioning his motive for drafting Emeka Egbuka at No. 19. (more…)
Attack with the run?
Let’s talk some Week 1 ball! Joe will hit a brief pause on lists and disrespect. (more…)
Still underrated?
Bucs respect is growing among national media. Too bad the NFL has nearly destroyed what once was an excellent vehicle to celebrate the joys of football. (more…)
Bucs OLB Haason Reddick.
Yes, Joe fully understands the summer is talking season in the NFL. Players talk high platitudes about how they will spark a team to a Super Bowl run. (more…)
Rookie edge rusher David Walker.
Remember when a guy in the Buccaneers’ 2025 draft war room yelled, “That’s how you win a Super Bowl?”
Joe sure does. And it wasn’t a late-arriving Uber Eats driving angling with Team Glazer for a fat tip. (more…)
Don’t you dare say the Bucs have poor depth at edge rusher.
A reasoned and seasoned look at that depth painted a rosy picture. (more…)

However, Joe is more interested in Vea data posted on NFL.com. (more…)
