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…)

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…)

Ugly prediction for “America’s Quarterback.”

A lot of folks are bragging about how the Bucs have weapons for “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.

Sure, he has Vincent Jackson and Randy Moss-tutored Mike Evans as his one-two punch at wide receiver, perhaps the best duo in the NFL. (more…)
