“Hey, Carl. They might do the smart thing and let me play since you’re all messed up.”

A bright spot shining through the dark cloud hovering over One Buc Palace is Carl Nassib, the Browns castoff turned Jason Licht feather off the left edge of the Bucs’ defensive line. (more…)

To hear some Bucs fans wail, America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, is the worst quarterback in the free world. (more…)

If Team Glazer wants a sexy hire to replace Dirk Koetter, then Steelers offensive line coach and ex-Titans head coach Mike Munchak is not their guy, even if he is a Hall of Famer.

But sexy is no guarantee of winning games. (more…)

Not a lot of warm and fuzzy chatter by Dirk Koetter today when asked about his relationship with DeSean Jackson. (more…)

As the walls cave in on the power structure at One Buc Palace, fans are focused on what’s next for the big names on a roster primed for an upheaval. (more…)

One could put DeSean Jackson in the argument for worst big-money free agent signing in the Jason Licht era.

Oh, sure, he’s not a complete bust on the field like Michael “Ghost” Johnson, Anthony Collins, Chris “Swaggy” Baker or J.R. Sweezy. But has there been a more divisive player than Jackson? (more…)

For the last three years, Todd Wright has been podcasting here almost exclusively on fantasy football and Lightning playoff hockey. While those podcasts are not going away permanently, they each clearly have offseasons.

So, for the new year, Todd has a new podcast. 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.

*the TODDcast should be available within a day or two on major podcast platforms, where you can subscribe free. Joe thinks it’s very cool to have Todd Wright here and diving back into the kind of thing he was known for nationally. Enjoy this short TODDcast preview by clicking above.

Joe cannot imagine the chaos. (more…)

Ugly fate?

This is a disgusting thought but if recent history of the Bucs is any indication, it very likely could happen. (more…)

Done?

When the first injury report of the last week of football in 2018 came out yesterday (damn, typing that sentence got Joe depressed), DeSean Jackson’s name jumped out. (more…)

If this report is to be believed, the decision whether to hire a new Bucs coach for 2019 has already been made. (more…)

Now isn’t this interesting.

Bruce Arians, Bill Cowher, Dick Daniels, James “Shack” Harris, Charley Casserly, John Madden, and Jimmy Raye III collectively like what they see from Bucs offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

(more…)

Details player reactions.

Kudos to Dan Lucas for asking a tough question in a delicate situation with an embattled (lame duck?) coach. (more…)

Talks implosions.

The Bucs have one of the better offenses in the game the way they move the ball up and down the field. (more…)

Joe had a simple question for Dirk Koetter today, one that prompted a complex response. (more…)

It’s the weekly, 24-hour Dirk Koetter Confidence Poll. Last week’s results linked here. Poll posted at 2:46 p.m.

Result of a meaningless win.

There is much to lose and little to gain with a win Sunday. (more…)
