Shocking statistic.

Joe admits to doing a double-take to check and see if his Coke Zero was not-so accidentally spiked with Crown Royal. (more…)

“I thought I had my agent’s number written down.”

The Bucs were downright horrible Sunday. In particular, the defense. (more…)

The Barber twins have been talking. (more…)

Before the Bucs offense took the field this season, Joe had one simple mindset: Screw balance and just score points however you must.

Dirk Koetter didn’t seem to agree, but that’s another story. (more…)

Former NFL GM cautions Dirk Koetter that the clock is ticking.

When looking at the Bucs and their current situation, former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi doesn’t see a 2-2 team. (more…)

Numbers back him up.

So, we can now throw in the trash a common complaint the haters like to use. (more…)

A plea to the Bucs head coach.

Joe has published some 34,000 posts in over 10 years in his 24/7/365 obsession with the Bucs, easily more than any other outfit. But Joe has never before done the following. (more…)

Unloads on Bucs defense.

Ian Beckles is as outraged as many Bucs fans are. (more…)

“You believe this, Kwon?”

Joe has hammered home how the Bucs are on pace to allow the most points in a season in NFL history. Generally, teams that give up wads of points at the end of the year either have a very rough record or have coaching housecleanings. (more…)

It almost feels like a new NFL, with balls flying through the air like never before as the league tries to keep quarterbacks in layers of bubble wrap. (more…)

Bucs need him to produce.

Only once this decade have the Bucs had a defense that ranked in the top 10 in points allowed. That was 2010 under Raheem Morris, the last time the Bucs won 10 games (or more). (more…)

Man, Joe is so excited and happy for Jameis Winston. What a great time to be a Bucs fan!
