Fresh reset.

Maybe Joe is a crusty cynic, but dudes posting workout videos on their social media accounts is just not impressive in any way for this guy. (more…)

There’s been no soft sell from Bruce Arians to Buccaneers fans — and Arians isn’t taking a patient approach with his players, either. (more…)

Ian Beckles has new DT in mind.

Yes, the Bucs have repeatedly refused to confirm Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy will return to the team this fall. (more…)

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” — philosopher George Santayana.

And so the Bucs are slightly over two weeks away from another draft. A draft top-heavy with edge rushers if not defensive tackles. Would the Bucs be foolish enough to ignore the confluence of both need and opportunity to reach for a position that is nearly outdated in 2019? (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, talking about his spiritual life recently for a religious-based podcast, and it published today. (more…)

Sure, Tampa Bay made it look easy in the regular season. The clear favorites to win the Stanley Cup know the playoffs are different and the potential matchups along the way just increase the level of difficulty.

PRESENTED BY

“Hey Dirk, you know where you can shove all those running back grades you handed me the last couple of Aprils.”

The new power broker at One Buc Palace, Bucco Bruce Arians, is all over Tampa Bay personnel happenings with a very heavy hand.

General manager Jason Licht served up a little insight. (more…)

Will Bucs go “Hollywood?”

Now this would be very interesting. (more…)

Predicts Bucs’ move.

One man believes he has found in his crystal ball what the Bucs will do when they are on the clock at No. 5 on the first night of the NFL draft in just over two weeks. (more…)

Not a “shock” if Bucs win.

The Bucs have been the doormats if not the laughingstock of the NFC in the post-Chucky era. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

It is difficult to believe the Bucs will not address their running back situation in some way. (more…)

Don’t be dumb.

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. Some highlights Joe hopes will help 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.

It seems there is one thing, other than parking, that will send Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians into orbit. (more…)

“Mr. Glazer, it’s a numbers game. And we need an extra biscuit, too.”

So what will the Bucs do with their first-round draft pick in 18 short days?

In 2016, they traded down. In 2017, they stayed and prayed and got their man, O.J. Howard. Last year they traded down. (more…)

Where’s Jason Pierre-Paul? It sure seems like he’s been a glaring no-show at One Buc Palace since the majority of the team reported back to work on April 1. (more…)

Freak.

Houston manbeast defensive tackle Ed Oliver, to Joe, has major upside. (more…)

The Bucs have a new cheerleader! He’s a dude!

The full 2019 squad was announced yesterday. (more…)

PRESENTED BYFor the last three years, Todd Wright has been podcasting here almost exclusively on fantasy football and Lightning playoff hockey. While those podcasts are alive and well, Todd has a new podcast for 2019. And it simply covers pretty much anything that Todd finds interesting. No limits. Sort of like he did for nearly two decades on national radio as host and creator of AllNight with Todd Wright on ESPN, in addition to other roles with Fox Sports Florida, Sirius/XM, Sporting News Radio, etc. Our thanks to Brandon Legal Group for their continuing support of both Todd Wright Tour golf tournaments as well as the TODDcast into 2019. Enjoy.

Loud and dirty, but caring.

No matter where you stand on Gerald McCoy, it’s safe to say the Buccaneers have botched the public handling of the six-time Pro Bowler, and the private handling, too. (more…)

Yes, the Buccaneers’ got backup QB Blaine Gabbert at the NFL equivalent of a Bealls Outlet store. (more…)

Big school, small school, winning program, whatever, it’s pretty darn meaningless when it comes to the NFL Draft says one historic scouting guru. (more…)
