Baker Mayfield talks up Bucs’ stud receiver Mike Evans.

Joe hates to type this, but Joe also doesn’t believe in looking the other way when potentially ugly information is obvious. (more…)

Joe knows the onslaught is coming. (more…)

Scoffs at oddsmakers.

When Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield was in Cleveland, he was not bashful about sparring with reporters, especially those he thought either had an agenda or were just flat out wrong. (more…)

Slider needs work.

Somewhere on Long Island, Baba Booey doesn’t have to worry about his shameful first pitch at a Mets game. (more…)

After the Bucs’ miserable 2014 season, veteran stud left guard Logan Mankins explained that one reason the Tampa Bay offensive line had such a brutal year was because Mankins was traded to the team in August and couldn’t manage to host bonding barbecues effectively. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Man, we sure live in a what-have-you-done-lately world.

(more…)

Big expectations for 2023.

Last year in Munich, then-Bucs rookie running back Rachaad White tore up the Seahawks. (more…)

Preaching family in the NFL is nonsense, Greg Schiano said.
