“Fun” was the word McCoy used repeatedly. (more…)

Team Glazer opened its checkbook for big-name players and a big-name head coach. And right now, all they have to show for it is a hot mess of a ball club and grumbling fans, despite the fantastic glow of a franchise quarterback with a legitimate offense around him.

That may sound harsh, but that’s the cold reality when your team gets humiliated during the final four weeks of a season, as the Bucs were. (more…)

Bucs corners, like Toast Jenkins, are confused by the slant.

The horror began in Week 1. Over four months later and into a new year, the horror show continues. (more…)

Might Vincent Jackson have played his last snap with Bucs?

Logan Mankins

So today, Joe asked Mankins whether he’s pondering when his career will end. (more…)

More playing time coming for Da’Quan Bowers?

Your beloved Buccaneers (6-8) inched toward a top-10 draft pick yesterday. (more…)

Joe is absolutely loving what the Steelers are doing with their explosive offense, highlighted by absolutely shredding the vaunted Broncos defense yesterday.

The Steelers have a franchise quarterback, a solid offensive line, and four legitimate receiving threats. What a concept! (more…)

Lovie’s defense makes garbage quarterbacks look great.

With only two games left in his two-year (and counting) tenure with the Bucs, Lovie Smith’s defense is known for letting crap quarterbacks look like Johnny Unitas, including Austin Davis, Derek Anderson, Marcus Mariota, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallet, Kirk Cousins, Matt Hasselbeck and now Case Keenum.

Says Falcons gave up

Sunday’s now legendary 3rd-and-19 run by America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, had a lot to do with the pure quit in the Falcons.

Joe got a good look at Gerald McCoy’s injured hand today in the locker room. (more…)

May not play Sunday.

Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy confessed this afternoon to having what he classified as a “small procedure” to take repair an injury he suffered against the Colts four days ago, and he admitted he isn’t sure if he will play Sunday. (more…)

Yes, your beloved Buccaneers are currently homeless for the 2016 and 2017 preseason.
