Options keep expanding

It is really a storybook young career for Bucs receiver Mike Evans. He played just one year of high school football and basketball sure seemed to be his calling. He was one of the best players in Texas. (more…)

Is Dirk Koetter’s offense a boon for ASJ?

Yes, Joe remembers well how “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, erupted with glee the night he was drafted when reminded he now has two 6-5 targets to throw to: Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson.

It seemed he forgot about the 6-5 guy who may now be his best friend on the team, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. (more…)

Joe doesn’t know why, but the haters and plain ignorant couldn’t help themselves. Whenever these folks ragged on “America’s Quarterback,” the Bucs’ soon-to-be signal-caller, the sloth of the world would refer to Jameis as “JaMarcus Russell.” (more…)

Even though Lovie Smith calls himself a glass-half-full dude, the head coach must have a terrible taste in his mouth after last season.

However, Lovie might want to stick with what he thinks tastes good, speculates one longtime Bucs beat writer. (more…)

Brain injuries, whether they’re from car accidents, football tackling or swimming pool injuries, can call for various medical treatments.

Dolman Law Group, your Clearwater personal injury firm, has served brain-injured clients with several conditions. This informative blog from attorney Matt Dolman dives into how many brain injury patients are treated.

Remember, there’s no mild concussion. Seeing a doctor is always advised.

No excuses. None.

Dammit, your beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers must show significant improvement this season or heads need to roll. (more…)

No. 34 overall pick, Bucs left tackle Donovan Smith.

Joe spent quality, 1-on-1 time with the No. 34 overall draft pick, Donovan Smith, last week.

One topic was America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. (more…)

Mike Evans lauds his new QB. Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.

Mike Evans has an interesting perspective. Two of his last three quarterbacks won the Heisman Trophy.

Johnny Football captivated the nation with Houdini acts and the ability to put a football team square on his back and carry it to success not experienced in decades. (more…)

Ugly prediction for “America’s Quarterback.”

A lot of folks are bragging about how the Bucs have weapons for “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.

Sure, he has Vincent Jackson and Randy Moss-tutored Mike Evans as his one-two punch at wide receiver, perhaps the best duo in the NFL. (more…)

Bucs GM speaks.

When the Bucs rejected the fifth-year option on Doug Martin’s contract last month, it sure seemed as if the clock began ticking for Martin’s exit. The pride of Boise State will be a free agent after the season. (more…)

Remember when Joe had the “Blackout Tour,” hauling busloads of Bucs fans from St. Pete to Fort Myers to watch Bucs games blacked out on local television?

Well, it seems Joe has inspired the Bucs. (more…)

Joe’s been studying Jameis Winston closely since attending his first college game in Pittsburgh, long before he was “America’s Quarterback.” (more…)

Offseason winner?

Joe thought Doug Martin’s offseason was nearly as bad as his last two seasons.

Dinged up with injuries, Martin hasn’t rushed for 1,000 yards combined the past two years. (more…)

When Joe saw Jameis Winston’s first two passes against the Bucs’ first-team defense in practice on Wednesday, they didn’t just remind Joe that Jameis is a rookie, they were reminders that the Tampa Bay defense is out of excuses. (more…)

Makes All-NFC South offense, per NFL.com.

Demar Dotson is an OK right tackle. Joe has maintained that for the past year or so.

He’s not Dan Dierdorf but he sure as hell isn’t the walking face-to-the-head penalty known as Kenyatta Walker. (more…)

Alleged incident with a woman in Vegas

For reasons unknown, former Bucs great Warren Sapp has built an ugly reputation for incidents with women in recent years. If TMZSports.com is to be believed, that nasty pattern continues. (more…)

Joe’s not a big believer in coincidences, so it was noteworthy when a dozen Buccaneers grabbed a microphone this week and only two shared the same take. (more…)

Deemed the worst of the worst

Last year’s offensive line was a pile of mule dung that sat in the sun too long on the street outside a cheap French Quarter brothel. (more…)

For a first-year right guard at 24 years old, Patrick Omameh sure absorbed a stiff lesson after 16 starts for Tampa Bay last year. (more…)

Well, finally, the butterfly escaped the cocoon.

Around the Tampa Bay area, specifically at One Buc Palace, “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, has been mostly quiet and quite respectful when talking to the fourth estate. (more…)

Division elite, says NFL.com.

Joe has to qualify the following lest readers think otherwise: Joe never ever takes a day off. Doesn’t for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Easter or Arbor Day. So, unlike the NFL, Joe does not go into a six-week slumber each summer.

School sucks when you have an unqualified teacher, and especially when it’s a substitute that rides out most of the year. (more…)
