Lovie Smith calls an early shot and boasts about his past scores

Hope for 2015 is dead. Even Lovie Smith declared the year finished and tossed in the garbage yesterday.

But Christmas is still on the calendar, so it was fitting that Lovie would talk about the universal Christmas, the 2016 NFL Draft. (more…)

It sure sounds like Lovie Smith will be a huge Carolina Panthers fan on Sunday. (more…)

Bucs WR Mike Evans hanging with NFL stars.

Bucs fans have grumbled about Mike Evans so much this year that their dogs won’t watch a game with them any longer. (more…)

National scribe thinks Jameis deserves honors.

NFL Network last week hyped the battle between the rotten Rams and the Bucs as a clash of the top Rookie of the Year candidates, America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, and running back Todd Gurley. (more…)

It seems like ages ago when Chucky hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy aloft in victory on a chilly Sunday evening as Tampa Bay erupted in glee. (more…)

Bucs dodged the populist bullet.

Man oh man oh man, what could have been. (more…)

More playing time coming for Da’Quan Bowers?

Your beloved Buccaneers (6-8) inched toward a top-10 draft pick yesterday. (more…)

Man, how quickly things change. Largely on the shoulders of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay rallied from a putrid start of the season to get into playoff contention. Then, splat!
