Yes, Stick Carriers, the clock is ticking. Just one month away!!

Remember, winning Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter endorses and is “fired up about the Stick Carriers.”

This G-rated (possibly PG at times) cheering and chanting and bonding event on Saturday, Aug. 5, will be a landmark event during a Buccaneers training camp practice. It’s time to become one of those fan bases like you see in Seattle or Pittsburgh, etc. And this is a great place to start. If you’re attending training camp this season, you don’t want to miss this day. (Remember, there’s Pure Limousines luxury bus service from Abe’s Place in Clearwater. An amazing $5.00 deal. Buy your seat at TrainingCampExpress.com.)

Be There!!

Seeing camera time

It’s now crystal clear that America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, is salivating at the chance to have Hard Knocks enhance his image from the Adirondacks to the Alafia River and beyond.  (more…)

Talks NFC South QBs.

Interesting fresh honesty from America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, and it just might be another self-motivational tool. (more…)

To all of Joe’s readers, happy Fourth of July!

This is by far Joe’s favorite holiday. It’s Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s all rolled into one. What can Joe say about a holiday that is all about having fun, hitting the beaches, hitting the water, drinking like a fish, grilling meat and, at the end of the day, watching people blowing up stuff (which drives howling dogs throughout [oh, no] Pasco County running for pillows to shred). (more…)

No rest.

No days off for America! (more…)

Sharing

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t just get a backup quarterback when they signed journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick, they got a 34-year-old veteran of 116 NFL starts who could teach a thing or two to the franchise. (more…)

The Bucs really, really wanted a stud fullback last season. They even invested a sixth-round pick to get one.

That went to Dan Vitale, who quickly landed with the Browns after proving he couldn’t block at the NFL level. (more…)

End the drought.

The drought has been way too long. (more…)

Six years ago, your favorite football team pulled the old switcheroo.

Coming off a 10-6 season that fell just short of a playoff berth, the 2011 Bucs started off 4-2 before a tsunami washed ashore along Dale Mabry. (more…)

General manager Jason Licht, a man who will be toasted and cheered at Bucs-friendly July 4th barbecues from Lakeland to Largo, always has plenty to stay when he’s joining a radio show. (more…)

Can’t beat watching film and practice.

The stat nerds would have you believe that your eyes lie — that all you must know about any sport is found in the numbers. (more…)

New Bucs kicker Nick Folk, who converted 27 of 31 field goal attempts last year for the Jets.

Two fun situations are brewing in New York, and they both have to do with new Tampa Bay kicker Nick Folk.

First, Giants fans have been crying in their beers that their team didn’t sign Folk — or any veteran kicker. (more…)

His QB is a big fan.

Exciting news, football fans:,, (more…)
