Relationships brought WR Rannell Hall to the Bucs.

Since Joe started this here corner of the Interwebs, Joe has heard how the NFL is about relationships (so too with the fourth estate). And that sure seems to be the case.

In fact, it is because of relationships that the Bucs may have found a sleeper wide receiver.

Rannell Hall has been doing what Bucs coach Lovie Smith wants from players in training camp: getting noticed. (more…)

Bucs rookie guard Ali Marpet is listed as a backup to Garrett Gilkey

This is for the lunatics that love sitting down with a giant plate of Hooters wings and dissecting the Buccaneers’ first depth chart of the preseason as if it were a recovered ancient biblical text. (more…)

Legions of Gators fans are smiling now, as are those terrified by the Bucs’ flimsy depth at receiver. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, is making quite an impression. Good luck finding a Buccaneers player who doesn’t offer an ear-to-ear grin when Jameis’ name is evoked.

Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht offered Joe a deeper understanding of why that’s the case. (more…)

Here’s a great look at what Lovie Smith likes to do behind the scenes in training camp. (more…)

What are the Bucs up to with Henry Melton?

Now we can add two more factors to the growing Henry Melton mystery.

Damn, Joe’s waiting for Gillian Anderson to emerge on the training camp sidelines. (more…)

Leslie Frazier and company are surprising

If you’re looking for fourth-year cornerback Leonard Johnson at Bucs practice, he’s likely he’s within three feet of Tampa Bay’s dedicated nickel cornerback coach Larry Marmie.

They’re often alone, which is a bit of a surprise to Joe and a member of the Buccaneers’ defensive backs corps. (more…)

Be on the lookout, Bucs fans. It seems a new middle linebacker may be pushing his way into the forefront of your Bucs viewing pleasure.

And his name is Kwon Alexander. (more…)

A certain NFL center compared “America’s Quarterback” to Packers superstar Aaron Rodgers.

It’s no secret how terribly irked Joe was by the tough-guy front Bucs center Evan Smith was giving “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.

The longer time went on, the more hints emerged that there was rancor between the two, even from offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. (more…)

Time to join the club, Lavonte.

Joe never imagined seeing another Derrick Brooks prowling the sidelines for the Bucs.

Then along came the closest thing Joe has seen to Brooks. That man is Bucs linebacker Lavonte David. (more…)

Bucs signed free agent DT Tony McDaniel, formerly with the Seahawks.

Well, maybe Da’Quan Bowers hasn’t worked out in his second life with the Bucs after all? (more…)

Here’s a big ol’ shining light on the mess of the 2014 Bucs. And it might explain why Josh McCown got excommunicated so quickly after the season ended. (more…)

Current Bucs GM Jason Licht gives his predecessor a shoutout.

Bucs fans love to loathe former rock star general manager Mark Dominik.

Joe thinks this is hilarious for several reasons, the biggest is that the tandem of Chucky/Bruce Almighty were absolutely and horrendously rotten at player evaluation, so much so that the duo was likely worse than the much-maligned Matt Millen. (more…)

Seems Lovie Smith plans to use LB Lavonte David in more ways this fall.

Refreshing and heartwarming words from Bucs coach Lovie Smith today when the Bucs held a press conference to formally announce Bucs stud linebacker Lavonte David has been inked to a new pact. (more…)

Stinking Panthers QB Cam Newton goes mental after throwing a pick in practice today.

Since Bucs fans somehow have become hypersensitive about interceptions in practice, Joe has decided to offer stories on established star quarterbacks throwing picks in practice. (more…)

Joe realizes there is a fringe faction of Bucs fans that wants to see Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, shut up and know his place as a rookie.

And half of those lunatics think Jameis should be in a fair competition with Mike Glennon for a starting gig. (more…)

What’s more soothing at lunchtime than America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, connecting for a touchdown with Vincent Jackson?

Joe can think of a few things, but this is still loads of fun. (more…)
