Climbing the charts.

Well, Joe doesn’t think the Bucs will be drafting a running back on Day 1 of the draft in April. (more…)

Yes, Joe still listens to Dave Canales interviews. One never knows what the 2023 Bucs offensive coordinator might say in his new role as Carolina Panthers head coach. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Defensive tackle Calijah Kancey.

Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht nailed the 2023 NFL Draft.

It wasn’t a haul for fantasy football lovers, but Licht’s first three picks, all trenches players, were critical and successful starters on a team that was a timeout, a Hail Mary and a two-point conversion from an overtime shot to get to the NFC Championship game. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians

So about 22 1/2 months after Bucco Bruce Arians stunned the NFL world and stepped aside from his job as Tampa Bay head coach, perhaps it’s time to set the record straight on why he did it. (more…)

Franchise tag?

So the 2023 season has been over for a little over two days. Dan Graziano of ESPN is looking ahead. (more…)

Ian Rapoport of NFL.com shared Sunday that the Eagles gave veteran outside linebacker/edge rusher Haason Reddick permission to seek a trade. (more…)

Being his best self.

It’s not uncommon, especially 10 years ago, for NFL coaches to try to strip the personality from a player to make him a quiet, cookie-cutter guy. (more…)

Perpetually disrespected.

You would think a team that was one timeout and two plays from maybe reaching the NFC title game might have good odds of winning the Super Bowl for the following season. (more…)

More clutch than NFL MVP.

Yes, Joe understands there is a sect of football fans that counts wins for or against a quarterback. (more…)

 

A former Pro Bowl running back well known for being down on Rachaad White has come around. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 11:51 a.m. Flash poll closed at 12:52 p.m.

Yes, Bucco Bruce Arians spent most of his 2023 time in Georgia enjoying the lakeside lifestyle: golf, cocktails and cool breezes.

But Arians has not disconnected from his duties as an advisor to Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. (more…)

The Bucs have Team Glazer loot to spread around this year. But will it be enough to re-sign their key free agents? (more…)

If Bucco Bruce Arians still has the ear of Team Glazer and Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht, then a long-term contract is sure to be thrown Baker Mayfield’s way. (more…)

Different team, different tone.

Maybe Joe has a weird sense of humor. (more…)

Good year, not great.

It’s time to put the bottle down. (more…)
