“Bake, man, it’s all about the bag. I’m not about to be underpaid like you are.”

So which national “insider” will you trust when it comes to the Liam Coen mess?

Is it a name you like that can be bought and sold easily, or is it Prickly Pete Prisco of CBS, who is on the ground in Jacksonville regularly? (more…)

Think big!

Joe knows Team Glazer likes splash. And if the powers that be at One Buc Palace really believe they have a team that can make a Super Bowl run in 2025, and they really believe in offense and really believe in scoring points and really believe in maxing out their quarterback’s talents, Joe has the perfect guy to rattle the cages of the NFL. (more…)

So with heralded Bucs playcaller Liam Coen’s departure feeling imminent (that rat bast&^%), who will be handed the job of offensive coordinator? (more…)

Todd Bowles and Gerald McCoy embrace.

With assistant coach Kacy Rodgers bailing to the Bucs’ defensive line room for the warm sunny skies of Detroit, an opening is now on Todd Bowles’ staff — perhaps for a man who’s coached up his share of Bucs defensive lineman. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht

Disclaimer for the highly volatile: Joe has no say or impact when it comes to Bucs organizational decisions.

And stop throwing social media feces at Joe. (more…)

Heartfelt bro hugs in the locker room were common after the game.

There was a lot of hugging going on. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 5:01 p.m. Poll closed 7:54 p.m. Last week’s results linked here.

So NFL Network reports the Jaguars formally requested to interview Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen for their open head coach position. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht, the architect.

Some people wonder why Joe often refers to Jason Licht as the “Buccaneers Ring of Honor” general manager.

This confuses Joe. (more…)

Rallying to win (the division).

So the Mike Evans streak wasn’t the only streak on Joe’s mind this afternoon. And thankfully, fortunately, this streak is oh-vah! (more…)

So the regular season just ended with rookie Jalen McMillan hauling in 24 catches, 316 yards and 7 touchdowns through his final five games.

Joe’s never seen a guy pull off those kinds of numbers with limited targets. (more…)

A two-year problem for Todd Bowles.

Rough day for the legions of Bucs fans that aren’t supporters of head coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

Defensive tackle Vita Vea hugs OLB YaYa Diaby in celebration of a defensive play in the Bucs’ beat down of the Stinking Panthers.

Happy Victory Monday! Fun game yesterday. But Joe senses Bucs fans couldn’t fully let loose with robust hilarity and emotion because they were on pins and needles over the Dixie Chicks game late last night. But everything turned out fine. So grab your mug of coffee and let’s roll! (more…)
