Bravo to my fellow selectors.

The men and women on the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting board were smart enough to choose three ex-Buccaneers among the 27 semi-finalists for the Class of 2018.

There is one more hurdle to cross before John Lynch, Ronde Barber and Simeon Rice make it into that Minneapolis discussion room on the day before the Super Bowl.

In January, the list of 27 former players will be whittled down to 15 modern-day finalists whose accomplishments will be debated by 48 selectors, including yours truly. (more…)

“What do you like here, ‘Monk?'”

Joe’s had to mop up his living room more than once on Sundays this fall when Joe sees that damned 40-yard bomb to DeSean Jackson fail. Again. And again. (more…)

King of Bucs takeaways.

This may be a season from hell between Hurricane Irma, the losses, the injuries and the Jameis/Uber mess. (more…)

Feels for Jameis.

It appears Shannon Sharpe feels for Jameis Winston. (more…)

It’s Joe’s weekly Dirk Koetter Confidence Poll, a 24-hour event. Today’s poll posted at 12:01 a.m. Last week’s results are linked here.

PRESENTED BY

The Seahawks cut loose 37-year-old, seven-time Pro Bowler Dwight Freeney today, a guy who possibly is better than one of the Buccaneers’ defensive ends. (more…)

Racking up QB hits.

When Joe sees Jerry Seinfeld in March in Las Vegas, Joe fully expects to hear the Bucs pass rush brought up. (more…)

Man, Joe is loving watching Gerald McCoy against the Dolphins over and over. The man was an animal — and he dealt with a nasty first-half eye gouge.

McCoy also is racking up a special season. (more…)

Before Joe gets rolling here, newcomers should know that Joe invested a ton of time last year, and through the 2017 offseason, explaining that Doug Martin should not be on the Tampa Bay roster. (more…)

Still haunts Bucs.

Sometimes, a mistake can fester for a long time. Sometimes, that mistake can prove very ugly. (more…)

The serious crotch-grabbing allegation against America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, by a female Uber driver is being investigated by the NFL.

That we know.

But lawyer turned ultimate NFL insider Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com explains that Jameis could stop the NFL in its tracks. (more…)

“What do I look like, David Copperfield?”

It was a statistic that Joe nearly fell over backwards reading. (more…)

Home good, road terrible.

Joe just cannot believe how myopic and downright short-sighted so many Bucs fans have suddenly become. (more…)

Still wounded

UPDATED 3:10 p.m. – America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, will get a third week off this week, Dirk Koetter said this afternoon at One Buc Palace. (more…)
