Cornerback Tim Jennings isn’t cutting it

Joe is in ecstasy. Today’s home victory was nearly as sweet as Joe being invited to a postgame group shower with the Buccaneers cheerleaders.

It’s also enough to forgive, but not forget, the shoddy collapse of the Bucs defense, which coughed up a 14-point to the Jaguars. (more…)

Where would Marcus Mariota be if he didn’t get to play against the porous Tampa Bay defense? He’d be winless and sucking his thumb somewhere. (more…)

“Right before the half, I didn’t want to put more points on the board. I didn’t feel like we could. Only thing that could happen was something bad then.” — Lovie Smith, following the second home game of the 2014 season.

That’s right. Last year’s words foretelling yesterday’s disbelief. (more…)

You have got to be s(p)itting Joe!

The Bucs, after a woeful start, had a chance at the end of the first half to tie the game 17-17. America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston is famous for last minute drives, and he had the Bucs marching in the Stinking Panthers red zone. (more…)

Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, sure was awful against Carolina today. He looked more like America’s Disappointment on this afternoon.

But what was most disturbing was that Jameis repeated mistakes. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, seems mighty sick of the orders he’d had from Buccaneers veterans to relax and be a rookie and don’t worry about leading.

Gerald McCoy led that chorus, one of the silliest songs Joe has heard in years. (more…)

Here come the stat nerds and Jameis Winston haters claiming America’s Quarterback had a terrible game today.

Jameis actually played solid football. Go watch the damn film. (more…)

Gerald McCoy is yearning to play offense, and the Bucs’ three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle said Lovie Smith has promised him that opportunity if a certain goal is reached — a goal McCoy is on pace to hit. (more…)

Texans DT J.J. Watt referred to America’s Quarterback as “smart.”

When America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, noted in the offseason he was looking forward to playing J.J. Watt more than any NFL player this season, a lot of Bucs fans moaned and thought the last thing Jameis should do is rile up the best defensive player in the NFL and a true quarterback killer. (more…)

Video proof of Lovie Smith getting fired up.

Joe gets a kick out of the meatheads who argue Lovie Smith, Bucs coach, is unemotional.

First off, when hiring a guy, Joe doesn’t give a damn if the guy is a statue or picks his nose or does shots of Jack on the sidelines. (more…)

You know who you are, Jameis Winston haters, unabashed peddlers of anti-Jameis horse manure across the Tampa Bay area and on this site.

Take your Marcus Mariota and shove it — the same Mariota who wilted in Cleveland to Johnny Football. No surprise there. (more…)

Bucs fans deserve relief and some fun. And Joe, courtesy of Bad Willies, will deliver in a huge way on Sunday for the Bucs-Saints game.

Be there! Details below. Very cool halftime giveaways, too.

Gerald McCoy weighs in on Sunday preparation for rookie middle linebacker Kwon Alexander

Lovie Smith opted to roll with a 21-year-old quarterback of the defense, starting 2015 third-round pick Kwon Alexander at middle linebacker.

After Alexander’s first showing Sunday, things already have changed for the rookie, said Gerald McCoy. (more…)

Lovie might be unhappy with Trent Dilfer this morning

Trent Dilfer was left scratching his head after watching what he called a “benign,” misguided defensive game plan to thwart Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans. (more…)

Legions of Bucs fans are calling for their head coach’s head this morning.

The anger, disbelief and loss of hope is understandable. (more…)

Voice of the Bucs, Gene Deckerhoff, has lofty expectations for the pewter pirates with America’s Quarterback barking signals.

Back in training camp, Joe talked to longtime Buccaneers play-by-play man Gene Deckerhoff. He is one of the very few (maybe the only one working; Joe can’t find the answer) who worked the microphone for both a Super Bowl winner and a college football champion.

Deckerhoff, of course, is the voice of the Florida State Seminoles. Joe chatted with Deckerhoff about America’s Quarterback, Bucs rookie signal-caller Jameis Winston, and what made the kid special and the Bucs’ No. 1 overall pick. (more…)

Perhaps Herm Edwards has inside information?

When Joe last talked to Herm Edwards, the BSPN personality and former Bucs coach had just dined the night before with his good friend Lovie Smith. (more…)
