Steve Duemig wrestles with Joe

Joe was back in the cage this evening with The Big Dog, Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620.

All kinds of Bucs topics were on the table, as usual. (more…)

Major props to Joe’s A-list camera crew filming today’s practice.

This video is pure fun, exciting, and it ignites the fire of regular season football and the maddening NFL officials. (more…)

Your beloved Buccaneers were back on the practice fields of One Buc Palace today with the second mandatory minicamp session. Joe’s got plenty of nuggets. (more…)

Praised by a defensive end.

Either this is a clever way to gain favor with the man running the football operations of the Bucs, or it is a sincere gesture of appreciation.

Or perhaps both. (more…)

Luke Stocker weighs in on Dan Vitale

Joe gets hit with a lot of questions about rookie sixth-round pick Dan Vitale, the fullback/tight end/superback out of Northwestern. (more…)

Believer in America.

Much has been made of the new physique of America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. But hold up, says Clinton McDonald. (more…)

Ultimate respect for Brent Grimes

Call it street cred, talent, or respect, but it’s a given the Bucs’ defense will be better this season. (more…)

Law and order.

Yes, after the third or fourth question about the subject yesterday, it was clear Dirk Koetter was tired of talking about running off Tweety Austin Seferian-Jenkins from underwear football practice. (more…)

Believe it or not, Dirk Koetter wants America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, running for his life more often. (more…)

The Jaguars opened their mandatory minicamp, aka underwear football, to all fans this week. And the masses came in droves.

Joe absolutely had to head to Jacksonville yesterday.

Yes, Joe was working on a special project and planning for coverage of the Buccaneers’ joint practices with the Jaguars in Jacksonville this summer, but Joe had to see what the turnout would be for an open-to-the-public underwear football practice in the searing Florida heat. (more…)

Playing it safe.

The worst thing that can happen for and to a player is getting injured in an underwear football practice, much less a real football practice. (more…)

Your beloved Buccaneers were back on the practice fields of One Buc Palace today with the first mandatory minicamp session. Joe’s got plenty of nuggets. (more…)

Dirk Koetter seems to have reached his fill of ASJ talk.

Yes, we all know tweety Austin Seferian-Jenkins got run off of an underwear practice last week and then went mental on Bucs fans. Not cool. (more…)

Louis Murphy speaks out

Censorship is everywhere.

Newspapers quash stories because they believe they don’t serve readers’ interests. Legions of reporters are stifled because editors fear backlash. (more…)

Every offseason for losing teams is about change. Otherwise, they typically keep losing. (more…)

Asks for fans’ forgiveness.

It has been well-documented that Tweety Austin Seferian-Jenkins was way out of line last week when he took to Twitter and began posting nonsense to Bucs fans. (more…)

Heat and age won’t stop Monte Kiffin

Bright sunshine and a heat index of 95 degrees today at Jacksonville Jaguars minicamp. Not exactly the place for a hatless 76-year-old man facing two hours of work on the practice field. (more…)

Dirk Koetter’s offense makes Jameis smile.

So if one believes the recent words of Bucs coach Dirk Koetter, Tampa Bay will be true to its Florida heritage and go all NASA this year with a passing attack worthy of the 21st century. (more…)

Jameis talks love and acceptance

Love is in the air at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Enters confessional.

As expected, tight end/super Twitterer Austin Seferian-Jenkins fell on the sword for his antics during and after an OTA practice last Thursday, in which coach Dirk Koetter gave him a steel-toe boot to the backside. (more…)

Yes, the Buccaneers kick off mandatory minicamp this afternoon, which means more underwear football. The only real difference from previous spring practice is guys have to show up.

Stick with Joe through the day for detailed practices notes, and plenty of quotes and fun.

Breaking down America’s Quarterback.

Yes, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, did a fine job his rookie year once he turned the corner following the first Carolina beatdown. (more…)
