Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Joe loves how Todd Bowles has been fighting himself not to come out and say that underwear football is just BS.

Just a couple of days after his good friend and former coachign colleague, Lions coach Dan Campbell, teed off on underwear football last month saying, “I’m done hyping a pajama party in May,” Bowles has some choice, sarcastic words about underwear football saying everyone looks great in shorts and T-shirts and cautioned assembled media he wasn’t going to publicly grade anyone from an underwear football practice.

Bowles stayed true to his word. Whenever he has been asked since about a player, he tries to bury a smile and has some swipe about underwear football.

And Bowles all but said yesterday he’s not worried about results this week as the Bucs have two more scheduled minicamp practices, today and tomorrow. Keyword: scheduled.

Bowles was asked about Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield who didn’t exactly have a crisp day yesterday. Bowles waved it off.

On a pick in the end zone in goal line practice by Antoine Winfield, Bowles was asked if that was more a stellar play by Winfield or if Mayfield goofed up (Mayfield threw the ball right to Winfield — Joe was standing right behind Winfield — so in Joe’s mind that wasn’t much of a play by the former All-Pro safety).

“I didn’t get anything from it,” Bowles said, dripping in sarcasm. “It’s hard to do goal line when you’re not hitting people and you’re not covering people like that.

“So it’s just about executing the mechanics for us.”

In other words, Bowles isn’t sweating the results in mid-June wearing shorts and T-shirts.

The sweating will come in August when the pads come on. In more ways than one.
