Yes, Joe was on ESPN Tallahassee radio yesterday talking Bucs with Jeff Cameron, he of “The Jeff Cameron Show.”

Joe has long been a fan of Cameron, a St. Pete native who puts together damned good radio. (more…)

“Jiminy Christmas, Lovie! Fans want their coach freaking out on the sidelines like Curly Howard. Cussing was my best skill.”

Joe always gets a kick out of fans who want to punch a wall because Lovie Smith is stoic during games, often deep in thought. In control. (more…)

Lovie Smith tries to calm fans’ fears over Lavonte David’s ankle injury.

Bucs fans have every right to chew their fingernails at the news that stud linebacker Lavonte David did not practice Thursday.

David injured an ankle in practice Wednesday and has been limited since. (more…)

Your Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ drive for a Wild Card berth got clearer and easier last night. (more…)

There’s something quite poetic and ironic about the man who has been terrorizing and tantalizing Bucs fans this season. (more…)

“I might have another ring if I had a quarterback like Jameis. Bruce Allen blew it for me!”

There may be nothing that Chucky likes more than quarterbacks. Dude is obsessed with quarterbacks. (more…)

Bucs legend Derrick Brooks also tells fans not to be “naïve.”

You want real talk about Tampa Bay linebackers? Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks might be your man. (more…)

Comedy is key on the Bucs’ O-line

Joe has been busy compiling clues that explain the renaissance of the Buccaneers’ offensive line. (more…)

“Dirk Koetter is almost as good of an offensive coordinator as I am. Jiminy Christmas!”

Very interesting take Joe just heard from Chucky, the lone Bucs head coach to hoist a Vince Lombardi Trophy aloft in victory. (more…)

Derrick Brooks weighs in

Buccaneers godfather Derrick Brooks is no fan of how rookie linebacker Kwon Alexander’s four-game suspension is being handled. (more…)

Steve Duemig

It was that time again, Joe’s weekly visit to the steel cage of the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620. (more…)

Lovie talks middle linebacker. A little.

Bucs fans have to face the ugly fact: Kwon Alexander is gone.

The studly rookie starting middle linebacker will not play again this year, unless of course the Bucs make the playoffs. (more…)

The difference, says Sean Payton.

Last year the Bucs were a wretched lot.

The Wall Street Journal currently has a list of most painful teams to watch. If such a list existed last year, it would have included the Bucs, easily. (more…)

McCoy speaks

Gerald McCoy and the giant scar on his left hand were back on the One Buc Palace practice fields today on what officially was a “limited” basis, per the team injury report. (more…)

Good news for Team Glazer and, hopefully, Bucs fans. (more…)

It’s never too early to talk NFL Draft, especially when Bucs general manager Jason Licht is talking draft. (more…)

The red zone doesn’t scare Jameis.

No, Joe is not pining for his favorite linebacker to return, that would be double-nickel himself, Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks.

But his number popped up indirectly today from offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. (more…)

The pipeline of ex-Bucs to Foxboro continued today. (more…)

May not play Sunday.

The Saints are primarily a passing team. If they are going to burn an opponent, then it will be through the air with Drew Brees.

But at least with former Heisman Trophy-winning running back Mark Ingram, the Saints force teams to be honest on defense. (more…)

All smiles with return of ASJ.

It reached the point that Joe quit trying to guess Bucs coach Lovie Smith’s shenanigans with Austin Seferian-Jenkins and the injury report. (more…)
