Sean Sullivan happens to be one of the biggest dratniks of any Bucs fan Joe has met. Sullivan is the general manager at Bill Currie Ford, just a couple of punts up the road from the Den of Depression north on Dale Mabry Highway. The draft is not a seasonal thing for Sullivan, it’s a 365-day-a-year passion. When Joe bought his Ford F-150 from Bill Currie Ford this past weekend, Sullivan told Joe he had watched his recordings of February’s NFL combine four times already. So Joe thought it would be cool if Sullivan typed a few stories about draft prospects. Here is his first pass attempt.
By SEAN SULLIVAN
It is simple: Brian Burns is the best edge rusher in the draft. Period. (more…)
It sure seems like all the mockers believe the Bucs will ignore the pass rush in a top-heavy draft for pass rushers and defensive linemen and instead draft a middle linebacker. (more…)
Joe spent time with a handful of “casual” Bucs fans last night, guys who watch about 90 percent of Bucs games and pay close attention to the team during the season and during key offseason times, but definitely not year-round.
Well over 1,000 fans were at the two-night, Bucs Uncensored/JoeBucsFan NFL Draft party last year, and everyone loved all the nonstop Bucs passion that flowed at Buffalo Wild Wings in South Tampa — indoors and outside. Derrick Brooks, Ira Kaufman and Brent Grimes in the house made it even more specials.
We’re doing it better and bigger this year. It’s free. The buffet is not.
All kinds of beer specials flowing!!!!

Joe has decided to document highlights of Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians captured when he coached Arizona during the inaugural season of “All or Nothing,” a “Hard Knocks”-like miniseries by NFL Films that follows a pro or college team throughout a season and is exclusive to Amazon Prime. Joe hopes these highlights will help Bucs fans learn what to expect from the 12th coach in franchise history. This series of posts will appear periodically until the days leading up to the draft later this month.
Bruce Arians is very quick to let a player know he screwed up. And Arians isn’t afraid to confess when he let the team down. (more…)
Bucs fans are wringing their hands over trying to figure out who Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht will draft at No. 5 next week in the draft — next week! (more…)

A dreary Friday edition of the JoeBoltsFan podcast as Tom Lang breaks down why our Lightning blew a 3-0 lead Wednesday night (looking at you, McDonagh). No, it’s not time for a full on panic. But how many times must the lesson be learned? It’s a fair question. From Disappointment to a Quick Redemption? Let’s go Lightning, Let’s go Bill Currie Ford!

Joe wouldn’t bet on center Ryan Jensen being on the Bucs in 2020.
That’s just salary cap reality when you look at the Tampa Bay offensive line, as well as Jensen being older than Ali Marpet and Donovan Smith, and how Jensen performed last year. (more…)
PARTY IS FREE! (The buffet is not.) Don’t miss the fun — indoors and outdoors! At least 700 were in the house on Night 1 of the draft last year, including Mr. Derrick Brooks.

In a previous story, Joe noted he could understand how Arians had health problems because the guy nearly had coronaries on the sidelines from blowing up so badly. (more…)
If every position were equal, Andy Benoit of theMMQB.com knows what position he would draft at No. 5 if he was Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht. (more…)
Popular NFL analyst no fan of new Bucs starting LB.
Look, we all know the Bucs defense was a football atrocity the past two seasons and former Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith should be brought up on charges at The Hague for crimes against humanity. (more…)
