Reason to smile.

The Bucs, per CBSSports.com, have an over/under this season of 6.5 wins. And one employee of the Tiffany Network believes a safe bet would be cash on the over. (more…)

Big bang.

Perhaps the PFF tribe is trying to make amends? (more…)

Last week’s podcast discussed where David Johnson might be in this year’s fantasy running back rankings and this week’s podcast takes that a step further. Looks like Todd Gurley and Le’Veon Bell and maybe Ezekiel Elliott have a step on Johnson right now, with Alvin Kamara in the conversation as well. Todd looks at those top five guys and then discusses guys like Mark Ingram, Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis in terms of their value in later rounds. Remember, Todd answers all your fantasy football questions personally at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.

Culprit located?

Yes, Bucs fans are focused on the red zone offense almost as much as they are on the connection between America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, and DeSean Jackson. (more…)

So far, so good.

So a lot of Bucs fans wring their hands over a perceived lack of chemistry between America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, and speed merchant DeSean Jackson. (more…)

Pretty cool stuff happening at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Get ready.

Could this be the year that all the haters of America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, have to put their tails between their legs in shame and start wearing their Titans jerseys in public? (more…)

While reporting a couple of days ago, beat writer Herb Zurkowsky said the Montreal Alouette’s five-man quarterback competition appeared to be a two-man race during the CFL team’s training camp. (more…)

A former Buccaneer has fired away at one of his favorite targets but is optimistic that positive change could be around the corner. (more…)

Bucs GM talks about his first-round pick

Considering all the silly chatter about Vita Vea being the real-life Maui from Moana, Joe had to chuckle when Bucs general manager Jason Licht referred to some of his rookies as “fictional characters” recently. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, dug his heels in this week. (more…)

More swagger, more often, is needed, Mike Evans explained earlier this week.

On how to maintain that through a game and a season, well, Evans has an idea. (more…)

Thanks teammate for the love.

It seems Mike Evans has been on a crusade of late. (more…)

Drafted Buccaneers rookies are signing their contracts right and left, including Vita Vea.

Here’s why Joe doesn’t write about this annual happening. (more…)

Rookie running back Ronald Jones under the watchful eye of RB coach Tim Spencer

Dirk Koetter is a tough guy. No question about it.

But while he is one of the most fearless coaches in the NFL (hey, if you start Doug Martin like Koetter did in 2017, then you’re one fearless SOB), there is an element of football where Koetter will take no chances. (more…)

Will years of personnel moves finally pay off?

Joe senses the growing excitement for football season. It’s hard to believe training camp starts in roughly two months. (more…)

Talks picks.

Again, it is May. It’s not even Memorial Day yet. And, more importantly, it is the beginning of underwear football season. (more…)

New Bucs Super Bowl DE speaks

Iconic Steelers beat writer Ed Bouchette once wrote that brash and big-talking veteran defensive lineman Brentson Buckner directing young players how to behave was as if “Hugh Hefner were teaching a class on abstinence.” (more…)

And the season, she is over. Oh what could have been, right?

That’s the hard part about the way it ended. If our Bolts aired it out – like Game 7 – and came up short, that’s one thing. But looking back on the whole of the Eastern Conference Finals, can you really say the Lightning left it all out on the ice? A frustrating edition of the JoeBoltsFan Podcast, talking the sins of Games 1 & 2, getting by with just enough, and do coach and/or captain need a second look? Bolts fans, we stick together, but let’s keep it real too.

Many thousands have enjoyed the JoeBoltsFan podcast with Tom Lang, lifelong Lightning fan, Clearwater native and popular personality at ESPN Tallahassee. And this is the second-to-last episode of the 2017-2018 season.

Bucs fans know Lang from The ScuttleBucs podcast, but do not fear, Lang knows his beloved Bolts inside and out.

Busting myths.

There is a sect of Bucs fans that for reasons not entirely clear stomps their feet on the floor so hard they spill their Bud Lights into the crevices of their La-Z-Boys while hollering how inaccurate Jameis Winston is.

It happens whenever America’s Quarterback fails to connect on a pass.

The PFF tribe disagrees.
