Savvy.

Smart move by Bucs GM Jason Licht. Guys are dropping and why not take advantage? (more…)

“Let’s get it on!”

You are fired up for the draft. Joe is fired up for the draft. Guess who else is fired up for the draft? (more…)

We’re now less than hours from Roger Goodell walking to the podium and calling the Buccaneers’ next great hope.

Joe’s got the Jason Licht/Team Glazer photo here because, in fact, Team Glazer is part of the shotcalling team when it comes to a first-round pick, especially an early first-round pick.

Licht was seen on the One Buc Palace fields the past two days with Team Glazer for very long stretches.

Have your final say in the comments. Call your first-round pick. State your prayers. … And make plans to attend Joe’s draft party.

Feeling weird.

Bucs coach Dirk Koetter is an offensive guy through and through. That doesn’t mean he has his head in the sands of Clearwater Beach. (more…)

“I may be gone but my legacy at One Buc lives.”

The legacy of Raheem Morris is interesting.

Currently, he is the last Bucs head coach to not only guide the team to a winning record, but that same 2010 club had double-digit wins and was screwed out of a playoff berth by a terrible call taking a touchdown off the board in a three-point loss to Detroit. (more…)

Following November ACL surgery, Louis Murphy did what ever smart NFL player should do.

Will Bucs No. 3 receiver Louis Murphy really be ready for training camp as Dirk Koetter suggested?

Joe got an interesting take from Murphy on the subject this afternoon at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Strange approach today from Gerald McCoy

Since arriving in Tampa, Gerald McCoy has always loved to speak his mind.

Not today. (more…)

Geeked for tonight.

Joe had a hard time sleeping last night. Lots of things to get geeked about. There is a Bucs (underwear) practice this morning and then there is the draft. It’s draft day! Merry Draft Day! (more…)

Wouldn’t it be a stunning kick in the groin if a team traded up with the Browns to leapfrog Tampa Bay and draft defensive end manbeasts DeForest Buckner or Joey Bosa?

Oh, the howls will be heard at Joe’s big draft party tonight. (more…)

Lead by example.

Yeah, Joe is pretty sure you have heard that America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, is a leader. (more…)

All smiles playing defense for Mike Smith.

Joe is getting a lot of questions on Twitter from readers about what Mike Smith’s defense looks like. In particular, readers want to know if Smith is running any 34 schemes. (more…)

(This is a repost of a previously published article Joe runs as an annual tradition for the morning of the first day of the NFL draft.)

Joe’s going to go slightly personal here, a rare, albeit tiny window into Joe’s background on this holiest of high football holidays. (more…)

Rumors hint Georgia edge rusher Leonard Floyd jumping up to the Bucs at No. 9?

So it is 13 hours from the start of the NFL Draft as Joe posts this story. So let’s let the rumors fly. (more…)

Kenny Bell’s hands failed him this afternoon. His hair did not.

Your beloved Buccaneers were back on the practice field today. (more…)

Endless food, including all-you-can-eat Lee Roy Selmon’s ribs and more, plus the best golf value and most fun in town. Todd Wright and Joe do these tournaments right!

Media mob scene surrounds America’s Quarterback earlier this afternoon after practice at One Buc Palace.

Yes, you have heard Vincent Jackson and Kenny Bell and many other offensive players rave about America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. But how about another defender? (more…)

For the pre-draft conspiracy crowd, Mike Glennon had a mysterious absence this afternoon. (more…)

America’s Quarterback talks draft

Out at One Buc Palace today, Joe asked America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, about the NFL Draft. (more…)

Honored

The Bucs will turn to a college basketball icon to bring them good luck. (more…)

More happy times for Connor Cook

The very last thing the Buccaneers need is an aching-for-a-pass-defense team leapfrogging them in a trade with Cleveland for the No. 8 overall pick on Thursday night. (more…)
