The things you find on Twitter. Joe came across the timeline of Joel D. Anderson, a columnist for BuzzFeed, who attended a symposium at the Villanova University School of Law. A keynote speaker was Jameis Winston’s attorney David Cornwell.

Joe strongly suggests you check out Anderson’s timeline on Twitter for some very revealing information. (more…)

Florida DE Dante Fowler, a hometown guy, knows what the Bucs will do April 30.

In case you haven’t heard, St. Petersburg native, Lakewood High School grad and Gators defensive end Dante Fowler is visiting One Buc Palace to get grilled today.

Tampa Bay has a terrible need for a defensive end who can breathe on a quarterback, so Fowler would be a terrific pick. That is, if the Bucs didn’t need a quarterback far worse. (more…)

Former Bucs QB Chris Sims talks Bucs defense.

It is a horrible, frightening thought for Joe; the Bucs don’t draft a quarterback at No. 1.

How could they?

(more…)

Jameis Winston was in town recently and look who he rubbed elbows with. Winston spent some time with the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig, aka The Big Dog. (more…)

Winston fever struck last night

Last night, Bucs general manager Jason Licht and coach Lovie Smith, along with some assistants, held court at the Den of Depression in sort of a meet-and-greet with season ticket holders, specifically club seat buyers. (more…)

Joe’s good friend Gil Arcia, who writes for both Scout.com and his own website, TheBayCave.com, does yeoman’s work trying to find nuggets of Bucs info.

Now he has some on Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, two quarterbacks the Bucs have their eyes on. (more…)

The preseason football gods were generous

Fans who watched the last two Buccaneers preseasons witnessed some horrific football played by the good guys.

Ironically, Greg Schiano and Lovie Smith both advised Bucs fans — and media — to calm down because preseason is, well, preseason. (more…)

The Bucs return to Monday Night Football, sort of. In the second week of the preseason, Tampa Bay hosts the Bengals and puking Andy Dalton, Monday, Aug. 24. (more…)

Yes, this was a touchdown catch by Eastern Carolina WR Justin Hardy.

Do the Bucs need a slot receiver?

If so, a good ne may be lurking in the draft, says a prominent former Buccaneer. (more…)

Sometimes when you listen to sports radio, you can pretty much tell right off the bat when a caller is either well-informed or is just throwing ignorant bulls(p)it out as fact. (more…)

At the NFL Owners Meetings last month, Buccaneers co-chairman Joel Glazer told Joe how comfortable he is with Jameis Winston as the next quarterback of the Bucs, if that is who general manager Jason Licht and head coach Lovie Smith want. (more…)

Bucs fans erupted — with glee, or shock and anger — when NFL draft guru Mike Mayock, after much thought, demoted prospective Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston to his No. 2 quarterback behind Marcus Mariota yesterday. (more…)

Remember when former Bills linebacker Angelo Crowell was Tampa Bay’s big defensive signing in free agency? Thankfully, those depressing days are gone.

However, the Bucs are still looking to Buffalo for help. (more…)

Does Lovie Smith agree with Sean Payton?

It’s hard to explain how intense things were at the NFL Owners Meetings in Phoenix.

Owners, general managers, head coaches and all kinds of national media types were buzzing around resort ballrooms, courtyards, lounges, bars and more, and none were wound up from watching a game, or prospects at the scouting combine, or bitter because their team mired in a losing streak. (more…)

Yes, Joe is aware of the misguided, ill-timed, trade-down crowd. And of course, there’s the chorus bellowing from the Marcus Mariota Band begging the Bucs to change their mind.

And then there is Phil Simms. (more…)

Is restricted free agent DE George Johnson a hidden gem?

News pumped out late Tuesday night from the Air Glazer private jet somewhere over Jameis Winston’s home state of Alabama that the Bucs signed restricted free agent defensive end George Johnson.

The Bucs’ brass surveillance team could have heard Joe’s yawn in Hernando County. (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…)

In his years as an offensive coordinator and head coach in college football, both at LSU and Florida State, Jimbo Fisher has pumped out quarterbacks who were high NFL draft picks. (more…)
