Jameis, Jameis, Jameis, lots of Bucs fans and observers think it’s just one big Jameis Winston party investigation at One Buc Palace.

That’s just not true, general manager Jason Licht explained today. (more…)

Gregarious Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, sporting a red wing in his hair these days, isn’t too fond of college football.

GMC was less than enthusiastic when peppered with questions yesterday at One Buc Palace about the much-anticipated NFL draft. (more…)

Lovie Smith explains

Was the problem with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year all in their heads? Maybe. Joe’s open to the suggestion. Heck, if the loss of good barbecue bonding can be a factor, then anything is possible.

Lovie Smith delivered media an opening address yesterday that included an interesting identification. (more…)

Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion Jameis Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon.

It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback ever to wear No. 5 in the state of Florida. (more…)

The question in the headline is a good one for the personnel gurus and geniuses at One Buc Palace.

Bucs general manager Jason Licht actually revealed his answer this morning. (more…)

Yes, the Bucs know who they are going to pick.

No, the Bucs weren’t giving out hints yesterday (though you are free to read what you will into the fact Marcus Mariota has not been seen playing cornhole on Clearwater Beach or hanging with current and ex-Bucs). (more…)

Adrian Peterson’s agent got Bucs fans worked up last night on Instagram.

Sure, it would be great to have a bonafide, well-tested running back in the backfield this fall to take heat off rookie quarterback Jameis Winston. (more…)

New Bucs middle linebacker Bruce Carter expects to command the Tampa Bay defense and wear the infamous green-dot helmet.

Speaking to media today, Carter had big talk about his big new role. (more…)

It’s a tale of hookers, cash, inconspicuous police video and a Buccaneers icon. (more…)

How fitting it was that Joe asked Bucs general manager Jason Licht a question today about his pre-draft approach, and Licht’s reply included that he needs a beer. (more…)

Don’t ask Gerald McCoy about the draft

Gerald McCoy stood on the podium at One Buc Palace today and said his teammates are not talking about the NFL Draft on their first day back to work.

Yes, the 2015 season is underway with conditioning drills and in the weight rooms. (more…)

Color Lovie Smith 100 percent impressed by one of his players — on the field and off. (more…)

Bucs general manager Jason Licht talked about the Jameis Winston lawsuit today, and not just the fact that it exists. (more…)

Jason Licht put his foot down today at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Bucs fans should be careful with their expectations for DE George Johnson, says ESPN.

Now the Bucs may want you to believe the trade for Lions defensive end George Johnson answers Tampa Bay fans’ prayers to fix a way-too-long dearth of pressure from the edge.

And while Johnson showed promise, and some talking heads like Bill Polian think the Bucs found the Hope Diamond, let’s get real says ESPN. (more…)

Vinny Testaverde arguably was the worst of the No. 1 overall picks by the Bucs, and he played well after leaving Tampa.

Yes, Bucs fans are anxious for the draft to get here. Joe is among them. Can’t wait for Jameis Winston to help get the Bucs turned around.

While Tampa Bay has the No. 1 overall pick, it’s not something a team wants if not acquired by a trade. It means your team is worse than lousy. (more…)

Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion James Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon and Josh McCown.

It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida. (more…)

Andy Benoit

Joe is cleaning out NFL types from his notebook, guys that Joe has talked Bucs football with this year. One is X’s and O’s guru Andy Benoit of theMMQB.com. (more…)

Bucs quarterbacks last season stunk with screen passes.

It was a complete and total mystery how Mike Glennon, who got half the Bucs’ wins last year with an impressive victory over the playoff-bound Steelers in Pittsburgh, was benched and never again given a chance to start despite the team circling the drain. (more…)

Team Glazer owns the Buccaneers, a company worth $1 billion, give or take a few shekels. So absolutely Team Glazer is making decisions on impact draft picks and big-money free agents.

To think otherwise would be pure silliness. (more…)
