It's not all cheerleading anymore at Buccaneers.com

Joe enjoys the Bucs official Web site, Buccaneers.com. Scott Smith and company do a fabulous job with video, and the site is easy to use with plenty of cheerleader pictures available.

That said, Buccaneers.com is hardly the place to go to get an objective look at the Bucs or to get any type of opinion on team performance.

Now before you say, “No kidding Joe, it’s the official Web site. What did you expect?” keep in mind the Dallas Cowboys employ three columnists on their team Web site who regularly rip the home club. Who knew Jerry Jones was so thick-skinned?

Other NFL teams mix in some commentary with bloggers and other forms editorializing, too. But at Buccaneers.com it’s pretty much the company line or nothing.

So Joe is surprised to see a NFL Network video on Buccaneers.com right now titled “Discussing Bucs QBs.” The video has Solomon Wilcots questioning the Bucs wisdom and competency for their moves at quarterback, while Mike Lombardi floats a bizarre theory that says Josh Freeman might start because the Bucs will only be able to sign him a five-year contract.

Joe wonders whether the powers at One Buc Palace have become more open to commentary on the official Web site. If so, Joe is ready to contribute. He can be reached at joe@JoeBucsFan.com.
