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…)

Joe’s been around town quite a bit the past few days and the collective Bucs-fan freakout is astounding. From poker tables to barber shops, it’s everywhere. (more…)

Free Mike Glennon! Joe’s all for it. Grab a good trade deal and sign a veteran.

A new CBS Sports report predicts the Bucs will find hungry buyers soon. (more…)

Right guard Ali Marpet was abused tonight. Logan Mankins was beaten badly a couple of times and looks nothing like the guy who played for the Patriots.

And Evan Smith isn’t playing average ball yet. (more…)

Logan Mankins has a history with the Bucs’ rising center

Joe would have no issue if the Bucs replaced starting center Evan Smith with rising former fourth-stringer Jeremiah Warren. (more…)

Man, it was like Joe was watching two different teams. Ten days ago, in their first at-bat of the 2015 preseason, the Bucs didn’t look better than they were last year.

Last night? Geez. Where has this team been? (more…)

A lure for the ladies?

SiriusXM NFL Radio dropped by One Buc Palace as part of its annual Training Camp Tour, when a three-hour show is devoted to just one team. Thursday was the Bucs’ turn.

Co-host and former Bucs defensive tackle Booger McFarland noted that “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, won’t just have to master being an NFL quarterback.

Young Jameis must survive the perils of the mean streets of Tampa. (more…)

Joe absolutely has to give it up to Lovie Smith.

Congratulations, Coach. Joe smells real positive change from a man known for sticking to his plan at all costs. (more…)

Your new Bucs starting MLB.

Well, that didn’t take very long, did it?

Less than a day after Lovie Smith crowed that middle linebacker Kwon Alexander played “outstanding” in his first NFL preseason game, Alexander was tagged as the starting MLB until or unless he is beaten out for the job.

And we all know how stingy Lovie is about passing around compliments, right Johnthan Banks? (more…)

Johnthan Banks’ defense of a would-be Vikings touchdown apparently wasn’t good enough for Lovie Smith, eeerr, Ronde Barber.

Joe is freaking fed up with this Mike Jenkins nonsense. For anyone — even the head coach — to suggest to Joe or to Bucs fandom that Jenkins, a first-round bust thrown overboard by both the Cowboys and the rotten Raiders, should be starting over Johnthan Banks is an absolute insult.

What Jenkins has done to deserve Lovie Smith’s undying affection is lost on Joe. Something isn’t right. (more…)
