Savvy training

One thing different this summer under Dirk Koetter will be practices against different teams. (more…)

PFF’s offensive line evaluations are laughable.

Joe hasn’t seen a disconnect like this since Joe’s old man used to talk about the internet (it’s no longer uppercase, says the AP and New York Times!). (more…)

Report surfaces that Jerry Jones is trying to grab Bucs QB Mike Glennon.

Joe does not profess to know the folks at 24/7 Sports. Joe knows good people who work for that network, but those sites are just not in Joe’s surfing wheelhouse (Joe’s not into college football recruiting, the main thrust of 24/7 sports). (more…)

The Falcons have a new beast to slide toward Gerald McCoy

Just 98 days until the Buccaneers open the 2016 regular season in the wild-loud cauldron known as the Georgia Dome. Joe will count the days with a regular nugget on the enemy, the Atlanta Falcons. (more…)

Chucky’s latest underscores rampant impatience throughout the NFL.

Every hardcore Bucs fan knows It’s My Life is Chucky’s favorite song.

Hell, the 2000 Bon Jovi pop/rock classic probably inspired a whole lot of veteran signings by the Buccaneers. (more…)

If you need to give your confidence and drive a boost, then it’s hard to go wrong with one of the many inspirational Muhammad Ali videos found on YouTube.

Gerald McCoy and Mike Evans know this well. (more…)

In a contract year, can Will Gholston take advantage and blow up?

Did the Bucs upgrade their defensive line this offseason? With two additions at end, Robert Ayers and Noah Spence, the answer is an unquestioned yes. (more…)

“That schedule looks tough, Coach.”

When it is June, it is always fun to look at the strength of schedule. (more…)

Rookie Noah Spence and the Bucs’ D-line get in hands-free work.

The Bucs have invested a lot of faith in the ability of veteran defensive line coach Jay Hayes, who spent the last 13 season with the Bengals.

And there’s a difference seen on the practice field. (more…)

Prickly Pete salutes.

Yes, it is that time of year again. Joe doesn’t need to look at a calendar. Just judging by all the Top 100 lists out there, Joe knows it is summer (unofficially). (more…)

One of the most influential figures of the 20th century, Muhammad Ali, died yesterday.

Prior to America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, getting drafted, Joe wrote about the link between Ali and Jameis. You can click here for the story.

Bucs rookie undrafted RB has a compelling personal story.

OK, Joe is not into tear-jerker stories. Just about every player has a reason why he motivated to play that has nothing to do with football, such as overcoming a personal obstacle. (more…)

Underwear football is such a tease. Like the blonde at the beach bar that keeps gazing at you with alluring eyes, only wanting to sponge icy cocktails off you. (more…)

In roughly three months, the Bucs will shave their roster down to the final-53. There is always surprise and angst when this occurs. (more…)

Bold talk by Bucs Pro Bowl OLB.

Bucs stud outside linebacker Lavonte David is a cool cat. Joe has never seen him get worked up about anything when he’s talking to the pen and mic club. (more…)

Lots of center today for Ali Marpet

The historic tale of the virgin center changed Joe forever. It was that shocking.

But Bucs fans can breathe extra easily tonight. The Bucs fixed that problem last year and Dirk Koetter is committed to keeping the good vibes rolling. (more…)

It was another day of underwear football at One Buc Palace, a steamy OTA practice just 101 days from opening day. Joe’s got plenty. (more…)
