I hung with Dirk Koetter for most of his talk with Tampa Bay media at the NFL coaches breakfast before sauntering off in search of additional Buc morsels. (more…)

“Jason, why would anyone try to hang Roberto Aguayo on my family?”

Remember that CBS report from insider Prickly Pete Prisco claiming it was Bucs “ownership who pushed the pick” of Roberto Aguayo?

Joe asked Buccaneers co-chairman Joel Glazer about that today. (more…)

You just can’t make this stuff up, though it is almost expected in the wonderful world of the Buccaneers soap opera. (more…)
