60,000 And Counting
July 20th, 2025
As the 17th anniversary of JoeBucsFan.com nears, Joe wants to acknowledge ringing the bell this year on surpassing 60,000 Bucs-related posts in this space.
So many people to thank, including dozens of interns, Sage of Tampa Bay Sports Ira Kaufman, Kaufman’s handmaidens, the research team, the photo director, the company chef and the overworked janitorial staff at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters.
For those outside the publishing business, that 60K number is a hell of a total. It’s unprecedented in Tampa Bay sports media, and Joe is happy to be riding this crazy Bucs roller coaster with fans.
Thank you for your patronage!
Joe stays fueled by the fun so many fans derive from these pages. It always stuns Joe how many thousands come here on allegedly quiet days, like July 4, for example.
And Joe also is still motivated by many local media types (employed and unemployed) thinking this site is an exercise in buffoonery, stupidity and an insult to thinking Bucs fans. Sorry, guys, you’re wrong and always have been.
Does Joe have another 40,000 posts to give? Maybe, but that’s like another 11 years!
Perhaps Joe will spend Sundays tailgating with the masses or working as a front office advisor before that happens.

I lost touch for a while with the Buccaneers. This site brought me back in full. Thanks, Joe!
July 20th, 2025 at 6:18 pm
Loved every word.
July 20th, 2025 at 6:18 pm
Bucks ‘n’ Bucs:
That’s such a kind thing to write. Thank you! 👍
But seriously if not for fans like you, this site wouldn’t exist. So thank you for being a loyal reader.

Much thanks. Because of you, the gerbils who run the wheels of this here site get fed and watered properly. 🙂

Beers and cheers Joes! Dont change a thing, you have the perfect recipe here…this is a lot more than just a sports blog, as you know.
17 years, wow, time flies. I think i discovered you year 3. Keep on keeping on brothas 🙂
July 20th, 2025 at 6:35 pm
Thank you for this site. Congratulations!
Go Bucs!!
July 20th, 2025 at 6:36 pm
Well done, Joes. Keep it up!
July 20th, 2025 at 6:52 pm
Congrats, Joes!
July 20th, 2025 at 6:58 pm
wow congrats on the milestone well done
July 20th, 2025 at 8:10 pm
Congrats Joes!
Wow – that means I’ve read like 50,000 of those JBF posts as I became addicted to JBF in Schiano’s first year (2012) and haven’t missed many articles you’ve posted since then…..
July 20th, 2025 at 8:13 pm
Congrats, but my math says another 40,000 articles should take about 4 years. You write them, I’ll read them.
July 20th, 2025 at 9:02 pm
Joes chum the waters a few times a day and us Bucfish either share, fight or swim aside and watch the frenzy.
Great concept, boys.
I know it’s hard work, but is it really when you’re doing something you love?
July 20th, 2025 at 9:47 pm
Great job! Thank you!
July 20th, 2025 at 10:58 pm
Life without Joe Bucs Fan is a life I don’t want to contemplate. Nobody likes a quitter Joes so, perish the thought. We need you guys. This site is my ‘go to’ first thing every day with my morning coffee and any other time of the day I have a hankering for all things Bucs. You guys just keep bringing it and I greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
July 20th, 2025 at 11:37 pm
BRAVO!!
I think I speak for many when I say that you guys are a part of my morning ritual, every morning, if ya follow where I’m going…my routine wouldn’t be the same without you, and I certainly mean that most sincerely 🙂
Cheers to the next eleven years!
July 20th, 2025 at 11:45 pm
This site may not have the blessing of the NFL Big Boys, but it has massive respect of the true Bucs fans like myself because the Joes are not afraid to tell it like it is, and are not beholden to any of them.
Congrats to all at World Headquarters! And thanks from afar here in Thailand. I get a great deal of enjoyment from your efforts.
Go Bucs!

Let’s have some drinks, Joes!
Drink up me hearties, yoho.
July 21st, 2025 at 1:44 am
Wow! Congrats Joe! Thats one hell of a an accomplishment!
It’s been a pleasure coming along for the ride!
Thank you.

Joe’s, thank you for all you do and the many years of great Bucs coverage. I miss the days when you used to let us buy you a beer 🍺, I think it was a few dollars through PayPal but I might be mistaken. Well if you ever decide to do an away game tailgating celebration in all of the games out of Tampa please let us know it would be an honor to shake hands and share a beer with you and your Team. Thanks again

congrats Joe(s). I always believe that you only get out of something what you put into it. And you guys put your heart and soul in JBF. You deserve the success you are having.
July 21st, 2025 at 7:56 am
I wondered 2 years ago if I had enough to keep me occupied in my new phase of life called retirement. Who knew a sight called JBF would be so integral to my daily life. Much respect and gratitude from a Baker Mayfield fan who is thinking Baker isn’t the only one to have gotten lucky to have found the perfect team. And a whole community to go with it. Thanks Joes and Ira. Now. It’s time for reality to set in. It’s never about what did you do for us yesterday. It’s about what are you going to do for us today- and tomorrow. And you guys show all the signs of being up to the task. Again, much gratitude and keep up the good work!
July 21st, 2025 at 8:19 am
Thanks Joe
From a Bus fan who was moved to the midwest several years ago. You guys keep me up to date on all pertinent But news.
July 21st, 2025 at 8:27 am
Congratulations and thank you for this fantastic blog!
July 21st, 2025 at 9:44 am
Congrats Joe(s) & Ira!
I’m old school former 21 year season ticket holder and like to consume my Bucs fix by reading this here site on the interwebs. Reading is fundamental over watching talking heads on video!
July 21st, 2025 at 10:55 am
Thank you, gentleman
July 21st, 2025 at 12:36 pm
Been here since day 1!
July 21st, 2025 at 12:56 pm
As part of the Buccaneer diaspora, I cannot thank you enough. Cheers to 60k more and more sponsorships to boot
July 21st, 2025 at 3:47 pm
Congrats…I visit at least 5 times a day….keep up the great work.
