Impressed by “America’s Quarterback.”

Joe just loves SiriusXM NFL Radio, except yesterday afternoon when it was all Tom Brady talk. Made Joe want to sit at the beach bar at his trendy Miami Beach hotel and nurse Crown and Cokes. Oh, wait. (more…)

The man who has his mind set on “15+ sacks” this season and believes he “should be able to win” got a huge honor tonight. (more…)

Remember when Ronde Barber verbally gutted the 2014 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on national radio? Man, that was painful.

During the assault, Barber said the Bucs’ Cover-2 is “the simplest defense possible.” (more…)

Getting loads of hype.

Yes, Joe was like a lot of Bucs fans when he learned the Godzilla-like young receiver of the Bucs, Mike Evans, worked out with all-time great Randy Moss. (more…)

Influential, claims theMMQB.

Yes, in the season when the NFL slumbers, Joe continues to tap away on his laptop. The NFL may take a six-week vacation but Joe does not, even when he is on vacation.

At a trendy hotel in Miami Beach, where guests entering the lobby are overwhelmed with the heavy smell of sunscreen, Joe slaves away. (more…)

The Buccaneers head coach sat back relaxed and wasn’t afraid to name names, but he didn’t name everyone. (more…)

Vincent Jackson is your new “Z” receiver.

There is no crueler being than Father Time. Oh, you may feel 25 and your mind tells you that you are 25, but Father Time has a whole different perspective.

Father Time is unforgiving. He gives no quarter. (more…)

Former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker, the guy who is very sour on Bucs rookie left tackle Donovan Smith, was adamant about running back performance on SiriusXM NFL Radio this week. (more…)

Gerald McCoy doesn’t like to talk about his individual goals, but Lovie Smith had no problem spilling the beans. (more…)

Getting squeezed out?

One of Joe’s favorites is Leonard Johnson. No, he won’t be Darrelle Revis. But Johnson, the pride of Largo High School, has fought and scratched for everything, whether it be his college degree or his spot in the NFL. (more…)

A couple of Jameis Winston’s peers are learning tough lessons

Former Jameis Winston wide receiver and current stud Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin seemed to have a pouting session at minicamp last week before head coach Ron Rivera stepped in.

(more…)

What about the night practice? What about the night practice?

Joe’s inbox is full of fans wondering what’s missing from the 2015 training camp dates and times pumped out today from One Buc Palace. (more…)

A wanted man?

For those clinging to the notion Bucs quarterback of the past and quarterback of the future and maybe quarterback of the present Mike Glennon will start Week 1, despite “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston being healthy, Joe has a dose of reality for you: (more…)

Joe’s fellow diehard Bucs fans are celebrating today.

Hallelujah! (more…)

Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter thought about slowing down the learning process for 21-year-old Jameis Winston, “America’s Quarterback.”

But then Koetter realized he was better off dumping a supreme challenge on the mind of his young prodigy. (more…)

Notorious eye-RAH! Kaufman shares a locker room tale

It’s well known that the guy Lovie Smith and Jason Licht pegged to be their franchise left tackle last year, Anthony Collins, was so bad that he’s out of professional football at 29 years old.

So what exactly went wrong? (more…)

Options keep expanding

It is really a storybook young career for Bucs receiver Mike Evans. He played just one year of high school football and basketball sure seemed to be his calling. He was one of the best players in Texas. (more…)

Is Dirk Koetter’s offense a boon for ASJ?

Yes, Joe remembers well how “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, erupted with glee the night he was drafted when reminded he now has two 6-5 targets to throw to: Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson.

It seemed he forgot about the 6-5 guy who may now be his best friend on the team, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. (more…)

Joe doesn’t know why, but the haters and plain ignorant couldn’t help themselves. Whenever these folks ragged on “America’s Quarterback,” the Bucs’ soon-to-be signal-caller, the sloth of the world would refer to Jameis as “JaMarcus Russell.” (more…)

Even though Lovie Smith calls himself a glass-half-full dude, the head coach must have a terrible taste in his mouth after last season.

However, Lovie might want to stick with what he thinks tastes good, speculates one longtime Bucs beat writer. (more…)
