Do you know how New England acquired Trey Flowers? (more…)

Could he survive?

Joe was torn watching the final play of the Dixie Chicks last night in their divisional playoff match-up with the Philadelphia Eagles. (more…)

Eight teams are left as NFL Divisional Playoff Weekend is upon us. Who you play is often relative to who you think will win the game itself this time of year.

If you like the Pats big, you love Gronk. If you don’t, you love Derrick Henry. If you like the Steelers big, you are paying top dollar for Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. If not, you may be investing in the Jags D/ST. If you still believe in the Eagles, this is a great spot for Zack Ertz and Jay Ajayi. If not, then you’re investing in Julio Jones. If you are on board that Saints bandwagon, you have Drew Brees and one of those two running backs. If you believe the Vikings are headed for a home field Super Bowl, then Latavius Murray and Kyle Rudolph are in play. Todd’s got every position covered like Xavier Rhodes or Jalen Ramsey in this edition of the podcast. Remember, you can also sign up for Todd’s first golf tournament of 2018 at www.joebucsfan.com/golf as limited tee times remain.

Tossed for unit’s poor performance.

It’s beginning to make Joe wonder. (more…)

Sets team mark.

Prior to Team Glazer (?) letting word out on the last Friday of the season that Bucs coach Dirk Koetter would be retained, Joe stated on several episodes of the “Ira Kaufman Podcast” that a compelling argument could be made to keep Koetter, as fan rage over the upside-down season swirled around Tampa.
