The home opener is here. Let’s Go!

Comment all game long right here with fellow fans and a few haters.

Go Bucs! Who’s ready for undefeated at 2-0? Joe sure is!

Baker Mayfield

Plenty is riding on today’s Tampa Bay-Chicago game, perhaps a lot more than it appears. (more…)

Ira and Joe have their Bucs-Bears picks and breakdown (and more) in the latest episode.

All the Ira Kaufman Podcast wisdom and fun is presented by Bill Currie Ford!

Can Mike Evans exploit?

The way people were glossing Packers quarterback Jordan Love last week, Joe thought Green Bay totally torched the Bears through the air. Not so. (more…)

Secret weapon?

Last week, Joe had flashbacks to the old Bucs. The glory years Bucs. (more…)

Bears QB Justin Fields.

There is no other way to put it: As a quarterback, Bears signal-caller Justin Fields is a beast of a runner. (more…)

Game 2

Bears at Bucs 

Kickoff: 1 p.m.

TV: FOX (WTVT-TV Channel 13, locally) with Joe Davis, Daryl Johnston and Pam Oliver.

(more…)

“They can’t touch me, Coach.”

On the Ira Kaufman Podcast this week, Joe talked about how there’s a distinct message being delivered to the Tampa Bay defense from coaches. (more…)

What Bucs fans saw from Tampa Bay on Sunday could have gone a lot differently, says the Buccaneers’ new offensive coordinator.

It seems Dave Canales has been around his share of NFL sideline sniping. (more…)

Joe has been enjoying monitoring Chicago media after the Bears were drubbed 38-20 by the Packers in Chicago.

High hopes imploded when the Packers scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to take a 38-14 lead. (more…)

Slowing down a baller.

The Bears stink. However, they may have enough skill mismatches to give the Bucs trouble. (more…)

Free football.

Bears at Bucs. An old NFC Central rivalry renewed. Joe can taste the Bromosa! (more…)

Coach’s respect for Antoine Winfield.

Joe likes to remind folks of the following because it has proven to be true. (more…)

Ian Beckles and Ali Marpet.

Former Bucs offensive lineman and local sports radio personality Ian Beckles is in the football swing of things. (more…)

Coaches are family.

Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians is in the final year of his contract as senior advisor to the general manager. (more…)

Spotlight time.

It’s a very safe bet that No. 1 cornerback Carlton Davis will have his bad toe on ice when the Bucs kick off Sunday.

That means a handoff to second-year man Zyon McCollum, who scares the crap out of some fans. (more…)

Bucs CB Carlton Davis.

It is a done deal. Carlton Davis will not play Sunday. (more…)

Loving his quarterback.

It was a Baker Mayfield lovefest on “Good Morning Football” today. (more…)

Likes what he sees.

Imagine the high Bucs players must be on after beating down the Vikings, spoiling Minnesota’s opening day before a raucous crowd. (more…)
