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…)

What now seems like a generation ago, the Bucs were a top franchise in the game.

A team with a ferocious defense, one of the best in NFL history, suffocated opponents before sold out crowds at what now is referred to as the Den of Depression, where the Bucs haven’t won a home game since 2013. (more…)

Bucs fans pining for former Stinking Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy better slug down some coffee before reading the following. That way, they can’t use the excuse they were half-asleep while reading. (more…)

The JoeBucsFan Hour was back again this evening in its usual time slot, 5 p.m. Tuesday, with the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig, on WDAE-AM 620.

There was plenty of disagreement and mayhem. (more…)

Joe understands why about 15 percent of Bucs fans think Tampa Bay shouldn’t touch an alleged shady character guy like manbeast, free-agent defensive end Greg Hardy.

Bad dude, so move on, these fans say. (more…)

Former Bucs QB, “The Throwin’ Samoan,” Jack Thompson, offers his take on who the Bucs should select at No. 1.

Few things give Joe the shakes — outside of the thought of an alcohol-free society — more than hearing or reading the name “Jack Thompson.”

Joe has nothing against the former Bucs quarterback, aside from the fact he is the tipping point of a once-proud Bucs team turning into a decade-long NFL laughing stock. (more…)

Yes Bucs fans, apparently the braintrust at One Buc Palace has heard your pleas.

It appears the Bucs have launched talks with free agent defensive end Greg Hardy and the monster quarterback wrecker is on his way to Tampa Bay to talk turkey in person. (more…)

Miami linebacker Denzel Perryman is a helluva linebacker against the rush. Defending the pass? Not so much.

Now that expensive free agent season is nearly behind us, sans where defensive end Greg Hardy will land, it’s time for Joe to focus more on the draft. And, yes, the draft is a long six weeks away from Thursday, when the Bucs pick Jameis Winston first.

If it isn’t obvious to Bucs fans yet, Mason Foster is gone. (more…)

A little more than a year ago, Lovie Smith said he liked the winning models of the Panthers and Seahawks.

So how about now? (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 national media seems obsessed with manbeast defensive end Greg Hardy.

And one well known voice was taking temperatures of league executives yesterday, orally, of course. (more…)

Andrew Astleford of Fox Sports Florida believes Bucs general manager Jason Licht grew smarter this offseason.

Good thing Joe runs his own business. Joe doesn’t have to walk into the boss’s office, hat in hand, begging for all to be forgiven when a blunder is made.

Joe couldn’t imagine telling an employer that some $29 million dollars Joe spent on three upgrades was money flushed down the toilet. (more…)

Yes, Joe is aware this is a Bucs site. So why is Joe posting a Cowboys item here?

Because Bucs fans wan Greg Hardy to replace ghostly Michael Johnson at right defensive end, an overwhelming majority wants this. Joe’s poll last week proved it. (more…)

Joe talks to NFL folks from time to time, specifically guys who get paid by NFL teams to scout and/or develop players. Very few of these guys are overly fond of Marcus Mariota. (more…)

Former Bucs franchise quarterback, leaky, sleepy Josh Freeman, has not hung up his cleats.

Freeman is not scheduled to attend the NFL’s inaugural veterans scouting combine this weekend, but perhaps that’s because he already has teams knocking on his door. (more…)

Oh, the irony.

The NFC East champion Cowboys, who run the Lovie Smith/Rod Marinelli, old school Tampa-2 defense, are consdering bad-boy, free-agent defensive end Greg Hardy. (more…)

Yes, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota is in the building. Not your building. Not Joe’s building. But One Buc Palace.

Mariota is going through the motions of his visit, meeting with general manager Jason Licht and, per pictures and video, offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and quarterback coach Mike Bajakian. (more…)

Joe is constantly peppered on Twitter by fans irked that the Bucs haven’t hit home runs in free agency this year. (more…)
