Joe got a hearty laugh when he heard half of what Bill Polian said recently on BSPN Radio (you could envision Polian wagging his finger), that Jameis Winston must be humble when he first comes to the Bucs, almost to the point of cowering, and ask veterans on offense about the proper protocol in the locker room.

To that Joe says, “bull-effing-s(p)it!” (more…)

Once upon a time in 1997, the Bears, with the full support of then head coach Dave Wannstedt, were happy to cough up their first-round draft pick in a trade for Seattle bust QB Rick Mirer, the No. 2 overall pick in the 1993 draft. (more…)

Joe’s seen his share of unbelievable draft chatter, and this one is up there.

Intelligent draft analysts must be smoking hard drugs if they’re predicting the Bucs draft a linebacker/safety/running back with the No. 34 overall pick. (more…)

Sometimes Joe has to take a step back and breathe deep.

It is unreal how in some circles prospective Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston has been raked over the coals like a wanted felon. And for what, cussing? Taking a handout on grub? Shooting squirrels with a BB gun? (more…)

For the second time in three weeks, prospective Bucs No. 1 pick Jameis Winston was in Tampa, last night attending a function at a casino — oh, no! Wait till the haters outside Tampa Bay learn that – for the Derrick Brooks Charities foundation. (more…)

Thank God, the draft is just a few days away. Joe is mentally fried from the draft talk and the sheer nonsense that has been pumped out of late. (more…)

The Buccaneers stunned the NFL and Bucs fans last year, drafting tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the second round.

“The Dunkaneers” were born. But they died prematurely when Josh McCown played quarterback like a six-year-old girl playing Wiffle Ball. (more…)

Would the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dare draft a stud left tackle prospect who is coming off a blown ACL less than five months ago? (more…)

“Football doesn’t really begin until November.” — Lovie Smith, October 30, 2014 (more…)

Yes, the other day running back Bobby Rainey signed the offer sheet Tampa Bay put in front of him weeks ago.

But how will the Bucs use him?

Rainey is diverse. He can catch, run, and some believe he can be a strong returner. (more…)

Adrian Peterson and the Bucs is just empty chatter. So far.

A few days ago, Bucs fans went gaga when Adrian Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, post a photo of himself on Facebook wearing a Bucs cap with a Peterson jersey behind him, with a caption hinting of action brewing. (more…)

Tampa Bay made a bunch of offseason moves. Many more to come with next week’s draft.

The Bucs didn’t pull off any major news. No big fish were landed in free agency. After the Bucs burned through tens of millions of Team Glazer cash with bums signed last spring, it was probably a smart move. (more…)

Earlier this week, Gerald McCoy told Joe and other local scribes about doubling down on his intense offseason workouts.

But he expanded on that to his hometown newspaper, The Oklahoman. (more…)

Sure, Joe read the nonsense peddled by an unnamed NFL personnel executive to renowned Packers writer Bob McGinn, the stuff that claimed Jameis Winston is the next JaMarcus Russell, one of the greatest quarterback busts of all time.

A former general manager, a Marcus Mariota backer no less, is now on record ripping McGinn’s report. (more…)

Is Logan Mankins a key to righting Jameis Winston?

So what will happen if Jameis Winston walks into One Buc Palace and acts like he did at Florida State University?

Soon to be Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian has an answer. It won’t go over well. (more…)

Illogical fear is running wild

Joe’s head is about to explode from things being written in recent days. It boils down to there is way too much time between the NFL Scouting Combine and the draft. (more…)

Joe never understood the vile hatred too many had for former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik. Yes, it took him a while to learn the NFL ropes, but once he did he was just fine.

Sadly, he was Pearl Harbored when leaky, sleepy quarterback Josh Freeman went mental. (more…)

Men tonight will get free shots from bartenders.

Subway sandwich makers will give hotties extra roast beef and free chips just because. (more…)

Joe might have to scream at former Bucs rockstar general manager Mark Dominik for this one.

Yes, Dominik has been in Marcus Mariota’s corner for months. No problem there. But now Dominik is taking shots at Jameis Winston. (more…)

Every time Mike Mayock says something outrageous about Jameis Winston, every time someone mentions Winston’s name in the same sentence as “Publix,” nervous Bucs fans who have been pining for a franchise quarterback freak out thinking the end is near. (more…)

So how down on the Bucs offensive line is former Tampa Bay tight end Anthony Becht? He’s talking about a fifth-round pick stepping in and possibly starting at center or guard. (more…)
