BY IRA KAUFMAN

Before Tom Brady came along, the Bucs were a franchise for the ages.

The Dark Ages.

It wasn’t very long ago when this team was in the midst of a 12-year playoff drought, encompassing all or part of the regimes of Jon Gruden, Raheem Morris, Greg Schiano, Lovie Smith, Dirk Koetter and Bruce Arians.

Tampa Bay was an afterthought on the NFL map. Even before the schedule would come out in April, it was a safe bet you’d find most Buc games on Sunday afternoons, 1 p.m. kickoff. (more…)

Praises Bucs QB Kyle Trask.

Classy words from former Bucs quarterback coach Clyde Christensen. (more…)

Underrated?

Joe guesses this will surprise many Bucs fans. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Joe would have ignored this gem except it comes from a major outlet, one scrutinized at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Luring a quarterback.

Joe has no surveillance device planted into a back boardroom at One Buc Palace where Team Glazer privately gathers to sip cognac on the rocks, nibble on brie and talk turkey about their football team. (more…)

Among the many nicknames and titles held by Leonard Fournette, Joe was unaware until recently that Fournette has an extra special one. He’s a member of the Boys & Girls Club Hall of Fame. (more…)
