Sometimes it’s not what an important Buccaneer says, it’s how he says it.

Joe experienced one of those moments last week at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Video emerges

“America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, and fellow rookie Bryce Petty, who were both clients of quarterbacks guru George Whitfield, showed up at a local Indianapolis high school the day before the two were to throw at the NFL Scouting Combine. (more…)

Rookie left tackle Donovan Smith should be a big key if the Bucs can improve their offense this season. His arm candy improves anything.

When thinking of last year’s truly offensive offense, Joe doesn’t know whether to chug Kaopectate or Bushmills.

That offense was about as miserable as it gets. Juvenile quarterbacking, turnstile blocking, and not one running back who ran for 500 yards. Joe swears Team Glazer could have pulled some PlayStation Warrior out of the beer line at the Den of Depression and had the same production. (more…)

As a reader of Joe’s pointed out yesterday, if the Bucs have what Joe expects to be a 6-10 season, that means in two years Bucs coach Lovie Smith has won but eight games. (more…)

An ex-NFL offensive lineman breaks it down

So the Buccaneers have their quarterback, “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston. While he may have damned near been Superman in college, he is now playing against grown-arse men, not children.

Jameis may have the work ethic that is expected of a franchise quarterback, but playing the game is a different matter. (more…)

No holiday for “America’s Quarterback.”

No, Joe does not take off Memorial Day or any holiday. That’s what separates Joe from other sites. Easter, Christmas, New Year’s Day, Fourth of July, Earth Day, doesn’t matter. Joe posts stories. (more…)

Jiminy freakin’ Christmas, one vague line from a Titans official, relayed by ESPN.com, has Jamies Winston haters and the Marcus Mariota Gang pounding their chests. (more…)

Double-digit wins means postseason honors for “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston.

Joe is on record claiming six wins this year is solid progress for the Bucs, tripling a win total from the previous season.

Though fans may not want to think this way, the Bucs were the worst lot in the NFL for a reason last year. The. Team. Was. Rotten. (more…)

Twitter is a wild universe, a force for good and evil and knowledge and stupidity. You can join Joe there anytime.

You can find Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks there, too. (more…)

Yes, the bandwagon is welcoming newcomers on board.

That’s the Lightning bandwagon, in which suddenly, with the Bolts now one win from the Stanley Cup Finals, has virtually everyone in the Tampa Bay area a hockey expert like the guy sitting in the corner of the bar in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, drooling over Kathryn Tappen on NHL Network. (more…)

Joe just loves the summer. No more coats. No more cold. And when women wear less and less clothes, there is no way in Joe’s eyes that is a bad thing.

It also helps that the summer is traditionally bookmarked by three-day weekends, with America’s birthday right smack dab in the middle. (more…)

Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders is not enamored by DE Jacquies Smith.

Joe understands how some readers are irked at Joe for harping on the Bucs’ offensive line. Well, they haven’t done anything to make Joe stop kvetching.

As OTAs resume later this week, two starting positions — left tackle and right guard — are up for grabs between four guys, only one of which has taken a regular-season snap: Kevin Pamphile, one of the two “Milk Cartons.” (more…)

This is not Logan Mankins, to the best of Joe’s knowledge.

On this weekend notorious for grilling meat and washing it down with an array of barbecue sauces, iced cocktails and glorious beer, Joe is wondering whether the Buccaneers’ offensive line is finally curing what ailed it last season.

Of course, Joe’s talking about their lack of proper barbecue bonding. (more…)

New Bucs DE George Johnson, shown here in his first go-round with the Bucs, went off on Twitter yesterday about teams not focused on winning.

Joe loves passion from football players because that often means losing tears at their very soul.

Then again, you have to be careful who is displaying such emotion. Anthony Collins used to get bent out of shape at losing, too. (more…)

NFL.com does a masterful job overhyping the obvious in an attempt to capture the twitching eyeballs of fantasy football lunatics suffering from withdrawl. (more…)

Bucs WR Mike Evans, a former Texas high school basketball star, still has the hops.

It is summertime!

Joe loves it. Time for all sorts of R&R. Warm/hot weather + scantily-clad, tanned babes and alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.

It’s called “living.” (more…)

A former Buccaneer weighs in on Jameis Winston leading

Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, might not get in the ears and face of barbecue-yearning former Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins and demand excellence and precision. (more…)

Former Bucs defensive end Michael Bennett has advice for Team Glazer.

Yes, the team that let Bennett walk for no good reason was the recipient of free counsel from Bennett himself. (more…)

Joe brought word of a report claiming the Bucs will not be featured on Hard Knocks, the show produced by NFL Films and HBO to give fans a reality-show look at coaches and players inside training camp.

The subject was so lively yesterday, Joe will flush out a couple of important things brushed over. (more…)

Buccaneers single game tickets go on sale Thursday morning. (more…)
