Disruptions may not be so disruptive.

No, Joe is not a statgeek. Joe watches games. When it comes to comes to baseball, Joe is convinced many numberscrunchers don’t even watch, they just load their Excel spreadsheets. (more…)

Nervous Bucs fans sit around chugging vodka and wondering if Tampa Bay will lock up superstar linebacker Lavonte David so he doesn’t become an unrestricted free agent in March.

Yesterday’s six-year, $101 million contract signed by Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston, with $52.5 million guaranteed, didn’t help their nerves. (more…)

Bucs LB Danny Lansanah’s path to starting in the NFL is compelling.

Joe’s readers should take a few moments today to read a very cool long-form piece on Bucs starting linebacker Danny Lansanah. You’ll learn to appreciate him more.

Yes, Lansanah is a former UFL player. But Lansanah’s is a bit more of a curvy road. (more…)

In February, NFL Network fired Warren Sapp after Arizona cops busted him for an assault charge related to a $600 threesome with hookers.

This summer, Sapp got pinched on ugly-sounding domestic violence charges. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, has a new business partnership.

The new face of the franchise, a face some hateful Bucs fans still look at in horror, was embraced by a local car dealership soon after joining the Buccaneers. (more…)

It’s the countdown feature you’ve all been waiting for. Not really, but on the heels of last year’s award-winning “20 Worst Buccaneers Of The Past 10 years” feature, Joe had to deliver.

A list like this is highly subjective and toxic. Fits of rage were common during production meetings at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. Scared interns soiled their pants. Full beer bottles were smashed, and a treasured Rachel Watson poster was accidently destroyed. But order was restored.

Current and former general managers and head coaches might not like what’s coming, but it had to be done. This is what happens when your team is 30-70 in its last 100 games. (more…)

Getting loads of hype.

Yes, Joe thought Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans was special the moment Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht dubbed with him the “Godzilla” tag.

And he proved to be just that. (more…)

The last two sets of Bucs coaches loved Dashon “Hawk” Goldson and his football intelligence and professionalism.

Hawk, however, is happy to be gone from Lovie Smith’s defense. (more…)

Bucs rookie WR Kenny Bell will determine the depth of the Bucs’ receiving corps.

Yes, the beginning of Bucs training camp is near, just a tad over two weeks. It’s coming, folks.

In his countdown of four training camp predictions, Buccaneers.com multimedia maven Scott Smith seems to think there will be too much kvetching about the lack of depth at wide receiver. (more…)

Bobby Rainey got a lot of yards before contact.

Last week, Joe looked at the good and the bad from Bobby Rainey.

Now for some more good.

If Rainey can find holes, it seems the guy is one of the best in the league. (more…)

“When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.”

Lovie Smith might not have been bluffing when he claimed Da’Quan Bowers did some good things last year, including showing he could be an effective defensive tackle. (more…)

The Buccaneers gagged away leads last season left and right. Bucs officials publicly cite those close games and fourth-quarter leads as reasons for optimism. (Really, they do.)

So Joe decided to play stat geek and look at how new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter fared in the fourth quarter last year. (more…)

Shameful statistic on Bucs offense.

You want to find something to be enraged about?

You want to find a way to justify throwing a beer bottle at a smartarse bartender without invoking the name “Myron Lewis?” Well, keep reading. (more…)

Bucs OLB Danny Lansanah will not fade without a fight.

Training camp is just over two weeks away. Joe can smell the cheerleaders’ sweat and is beginning to feel the heat of the practice fields at One Buc Palace.

As a way of sorts to get folks pumped up for training camp, Buccaneers.com multimedia maven Scott Smith has a list of four predictions. (more…)

Key to a franchise turnaround?

Bucs fans are more hungry for a winning season than a starving dog that hasn’t been fed all day.

The losing and the losing and the losing and the losing has gnawed at fans so much, many will be content with another losing season so long as there is progress. (more…)

Gerald McCoy either wants a career as the next Tony Robbins, or he’s sending backhanded messages to his teammates on Instagram. (more…)
