Bucs have high confidence in rookie.

Boy, Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard sure seems to have a lot of faith in a rookie. (more…)

Joe did a double-take upon seeing a Buccaneers “specials” wager on the Hard Rock Bet app. (more…)

Joe’s been endorsing — and enjoying — local Hooters locations since before Lavonte David was drafted. Online ordering is easy, and so is enjoying a good meal in their fun locations.

Joe has no doubt the Bucs will try to run the ball down the Falcons’ throat on Sunday, especially with the Falcons parting ways after 10 years with beastly defensive tackle Grady Jarrett. (more…)

Entrenched.

A cool thing about the Bucs is it seems that they all hang out together, at least on the offensive line.

And yes, that includes Baker Mayfield. (more…)

“You’re doing great, ‘Griz.'”

Last year Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield grew tight with Josh Grizzard. He should have. You want your franchise quarterback to be close with his passing game coordinator. (more…)

“Really Jon, Derek Carr?” (Photo from @BarstoolGruden.)

Joe saw pictures this week of Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Chucky hanging with Bucs Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady at the Tampa Theatre. There, the Bucs hosted season ticket holders in a sneak preview of excerpts from an hours-long documentary commissioned by the Team Glazer of the Bucs’ first 50 seasons. (more…)

More stressed over playoff loss.

So how are the Bucs looking at the Dixie Chicks, their Week 1 opponent, when the 2025 season kicks off Sunday in Atlanta? (more…)

Just play ball.

If you look at Spotrac.com, the Bucs have 21 players currently in a contract year. (more…)

Joe loves the anonymous but legitimate surveys of NFL team power players and the results that follow. (more…)

So in Baker Mayfield’s past Bucs opening days — at Minnesota and home for Washington — he faced teams largely unfamiliar to him and the Bucs. (more…)

“Kyle, man, I’ll be thinking of you. Todd just didn’t trust you enough.”

Baker Mayfield spent two years with Kyle Trask as his backup quarterback.

Trask was cut last week. (more…)

The Bucs are loaded with homegrown players and adore their team culture. (more…)

Rookie returns.

The Buccaneers’ rookie second-round pick returned to practice today after a four-week hiatus. (more…)

Consider that the Bucs just gave Luke Goedeke a massive contract extension long before it was necessary, and they gave badly injured Chris Godwin a long-term deal, and they just drafted a receiver in Round 1 after selecting a center in the first round a year ago. (more…)

What a start to a decade!

The Bucs last night held a ceremony at the historic Tampa Theater for a preview of a roughly 10-hour-long documentary the Bucs bankrolled to honor the first 50 years of Bucs football. (more…)

Joe needed a couple of days to process this before posting. (more…)

Big year loading?

Joe is a fan-first kind of guy. Fans matter. They deserve consideration, honesty and respect for their money and time, especially those who spend near or beyond their means to support the team.
