Unlike most coaches, Buccaneers assistant head coach/co-offensive-line coach Harold Goodwin doesn’t praise players unless they deserve it.

Heck, the guy took a shot at Team Glazer the day he was introduced in Tampa. (more…)

Tribal All-Pros.

The Tribe is making noise again. And it’s not coming from their printers. (more…)

Dooming the Bucs?

Joe has heard a lot of whining and crying and carrying on about how the Bucs are killing themselves with penalties. (more…)

Sports physician weighs in.

If you trust a guy who used to be an NFL team doctor and has many years of experience getting guys ready to bounce back from all sorts of injuries, this may be comforting information. (more…)

Won’t return this season.

Somehow, someway, Joe recently suggested a player on a rival team unavailable because of injury will help the Bucs, and haters have somehow twisted those words (in their demented, twisted minds) to mean Joe is celebrating dudes getting injured.

In the immortal saying of the late, great Steve Duemig, “BULLS(P)IT!” (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians.

In the eyes of one national observer, the Bucs had an OK game last Sunday. (more…)

There’s no doubt some people will read this and think Joe is celebrating the announcement that Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID and will not play Sunday at Kansas City. (more…)

Grade-giver.

The report card has arrived in the mailbox. (more…)

Scotty Miller

Though still on injured reserve, wide receiver Scotty Miller and desperately-needed Super Bowl cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting have been cleared for practice.

That means the Bucs have up to three weeks to observe them in practice and decide whether to take them off injured reserve. Murphy-Bunting messed up his elbow in Week 1 and Miller has been out with a bad case of turf toe.

The Bucs’ next game is Nov. 14 at Washington.

New Orleans voodoo.

The fact that Tom Brady facing a Sean Payton-led slimy Saints squad is 2-4 is mindblowing. Brady has success against everyone. (more…)

Tables turned.

Regular listeners of former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi, the former coffee fetcher for Bill Walsh, Al Davis and Bill Belicheat, know how big of a fan he is of Bucs defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. (more…)

A top NFL target.

This is interesting to Joe only in the sense of how NFL defensive coordinators play a shell game when trying to figure out what Bucs receivers to focus on. (more…)

Sunday may have marked the end of Jameis Winston’s career.

America’s Quarterback blew his knee out (ACL & MCL) against the Bucs and he’s not under contract with the Saints for 2022. (more…)
