Bucs linebacker Danny Lansanah hopped on WDAE-AM 620 today and talked about how Jameis Winston will not come into the locker room and change the culture of the team.

Per Lansanah, the Bucs are a team that lets its on-field performance do the talking. (more…)

When Joe saw the photo to the left of Jameis Winston showing off crab legs at his draft party, Joe roared.

It was a beautiful example of trolling the haters. It made Joe like Jameis even more. (more…)

Time after time after time last year, new Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston found him and his Seminoles behind in the second half, sometimes, in part, thanks to Winston himself. (more…)

Finesse lineman? Or ready to maul?

Joe is near ecstasy. The thought of a quality offensive lineman about to join the Buccaneers on the heels of Jameis Winston’s arrival is almost as satisfying as the notion of Rachel Watson escorting Joe to a buffet, followed by a night of hot-tubbing. (more…)

Winston and family speak

Jameis Winston’s great aunt talking on Bright House Sports Network last night served up an unpopular look at young Jameis. (more…)

Joe’s gotten the question in the headline several times in the past 24 hours.

So here’s the answer: (more…)

Lovie had a good feel for NFC South draft plans

When the Falcons selected ferocious pass rusher Vic Beasley out of Clemson last night at No. 7 overall, Joe was hanging with former Bucs defensive end Steve White at the JoeBucsFan draft party at Pete & Shorty’s. (more…)

How was the mood at One Buc Palace last night?

Jason Licht mentioned the draft party the Bucs held at the Den of Depression, saying, in a not-so-veiled reference to how he wanted to celebrate the draft choice of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, “I’ve heard that there’s a lot of people over there at the stadium,” Licht said. “Heard that’s a pretty good crowd, they’re pretty excited – I wish I was over there. I really wish I was over there right now.” (more…)

Sorry, Mike Glennon Mob. Joe’s going to rub salt in your wounds.

Last night was rough on you, and this morning is going to get worse. (more…)

The Bucs and Jameis will be judged on two standards

Your calendar already is circled for Sept. 13 at 4:25 p.m.

That’s opening day of the Jameis Winston era at the steamy Stadium on Dale Mabry Highway — maybe. (more…)

Donovan Smith

Good morning! The sun is shining brightly across Tampa Bay. No surprise. The Bucs have a real franchise quarterback prospect in town.

But dark clouds will roll in quickly if the Bucs don’t fix their offensive line — tonight. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht fought off going all Dick Vermeil last night.

Jason Licht was one happy camper last night. It’s not often you scout a college football player jumps out at you and you think, “Man, would I ever love to draft that guy.”

Then more than a year later, you do.

That was what the general manager Jason Licht did last night drafting Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston to lead the Bucs out of too many years of despair. (more…)

Hear from Team Glazer

It is the phone call for which every college football player lays awake at night.

It is either the general manager of an NFL team or a head coach calling during the draft to let him know his dream has been accomplished. (more…)

At Joe’s buzzing draft party at Pete & Shorty’s last night, one great Bucs fan arrived there after being at the Raymond James Stadium bash.

And he shared a very interesting nugget. (more…)

New Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston took moments out of his busy, busy night to talk to the Tampa Bay pen and mic club about this historic day for the Buccaneers franchise. (more…)

Newly drafted Bucs QB Jameis Winston could not contain his glee when discussing throwing to Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson.

Joe doesn’t begin to suggest he knows Jameis Winston. Joe has met the guy twice, but not in a private setting.

Hell, Joe doesn’t even know if Winston is aware JoeBucsFan.com exists. (more…)

Well Bucs fans, tonight could be historic. The Bucs may finally get their franchise quarterback.

Hold up! Tonight is not just about the first pick. Tampa Bay very well could trade back up into the first round.

Stay tuned. Have fun. Damn, it seemed like this night would never come. Bang it here with all of your comments and concerns as the first round unfolds.

Shortly after making Bucs history Thursday night, when he pulled the lever on Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston as the franchise signal-caller, general manager Jason Licht met with the local fourth estate and strongly hinted that Winston was his target for months. (more…)

His words were not heeded.

No person pushed Bucs coach Lovie Smith to draft Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota more than Father Dungy.

With his track record of quarterbacks, Joe has no idea how Dungy all of a sudden became a modern day Bill Walsh when it came to the game’s most important position. (more…)
