Jameis Sang The Eagles’ Fight Song

Sunday, November 22nd, 2015

jameis 1111bYes, the sorry ass Eagles fans have a fight song. They seemed to sing it in unison right before kickoff today — before the Bucs dominated and 80 percent of Philly fans left their home turf in shame with 10 minutes to play.

But there also was another guy singing the fight song. (more…)

God bless America!

America the Beautiful!

He has arrived!

The reason Joe pined for the Bucs to draft a quarterback in the first round for years since the meltdown of Josh Freeman was on display today. And that was “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

Seconds after racking up his 240th yard rushing against the Eagles today, Doug Martin was studying film. This is a Bucs offense dedicated to perfection.

What the hell can Joe say? The Bucs have a punishing running game, behind a totally revitalized offensive line and a bell cow running back that shook the NFL this afternoon with 235 yards on 27 carries. (more…)

Bucs OC Dirk Koetter prefers talent over height.

When the Bucs drafted wide receiver Mike Evans and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins with their first two picks last year, AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht quipped that the Bucs, along with Vincent Jackson, had a front line that could rival the height of college basketball squads. (more…)

THE OPTIMIST: Busting Barriers

Sunday, November 22nd, 2015

lovie 0810In these unsettled times of devastating Bucs losses, constant change and growing pains, Joe thought it would be wise to bring back THE OPTIMIST.

THE OPTIMIST is Nick Houllis, a Bucs fan and an accomplished writer whose steadfast allegiance to the Buccaneers goes back to the 1970s. Houllis is the founder, creator and guru of BucStop.com, a place Joe goes to get lost in time via Houllis’ stunning video collection.

THE OPTIMIST will shine that positive light in your eyes. Some will love it. Some won’t. … Of course, THE OPTIMIST’s opinions are his alone and are not influenced by Joe. (more…)

Lay Off Gerald McCoy!

Bucs DT Gerald McCoy's numbers are not that far off of Warren Sapp's in the Bucs Super Bowl-winning season.

Gerald McCoy’s numbers are not far off from Warren Sapp’s in the Bucs’ Super Bowl-winning season.

Joe just doesn’t get it. Many, many Bucs fans love throwing rocks at  Gerald McCoy.

Is he having a great season? No. Is he Warren Sapp? Who the hell is? (more…)

Joe often cautions fans to realize that defensive coordinators also get paid big bucks to stop the Bucs. And they, too, break their asses to be successful.

sad

Not sure how many Bucs fans noticed, but during that ungodly boring Titans-Jags game Thursday — (apparently it had an interesting ending but was so bad early Joe bailed before halftime) — the broadcast revealed the teams with the longest streaks in the NFL without back-to-back wins. (more…)
