Really guys?

Joe really cannot believe Tristan Wirfs said this. (more…)

There’s an important data component to the quarterback competition and training at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Bucs DL coach Kacy Rodgers.

Grounded.

Joe feared the Bucs were going to play this like last year’s Ryan Jensen knee injury. But now we have light shed on Calijah Kancey’s injury. (more…)
