So Joe railed on these pages over a year ago that the Bucs should just give iconic linebacker Lavonte David a multi-year deal. (more…)

Todd Bowles is the kind of guy who is quick to lend a hand to those he likes.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a division rival. Joe nearly vomited last season upon hearing slimy Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi thank Bowles for reaching out and offering a couple of words of wisdom. (more…)

Kentucky CB Maxwell Hairston has lightning speed.

The more Joe hears Todd Bowles and Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht talk, the more Joe is convinced the Bucs won’t draft an inside linebacker at No. 19. (more…)

“‘Bake,’ what do you think about Bucky running a wildcat and putting you in the slot?” (A Tampa Bay Buccaneers photo)

So the Bucs have a new offensive coordinator, Josh Grizzard. He got promoted after Liam Coen allegedly slipped out of town in the dark of night. (more…)

Mulling more creamsicles.

Will Bucs fans get to see more of the creamsicles? That is unknown. But this week the NFL changed its rules, allowing the creamsicles to be broken out of mothballs more often. (more…)

Jason Licht beams.

No, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht did not re-sign left guard Ben Bredeson on the Bucs’ front office boat cruise. But Bredeson’s agent did agree to terms with Licht’s staff while on the boat. (more…)

Todd Bowles said this week his Bucs need work on their “killer instinct.”

So he’s happily signing up to practice against a team that refuses to take summer work lightly. (more…)

Todd Bowles explains.

Joe remembers Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians saying one reason he agreed to coach the Bucs and put the brakes on his retirement was he was able to, in his words, get the band back together. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles speaks.

This is a big reason why Joe cringes so much when hearing defensive coaches whine about how they lost a game because they didn’t get takeaways. (more…)

So at the NFL Owners meetings this week, Joe caught up with someone with a connection to the big offseason deal that wasn’t: star Bucs receiver Chris Godwin to the Patriots. (more…)

Defensive guy talks offense.

Joe nearly fell over hearing this. (more…)

It seems the Kleenex box in the Team Glazer luxury suite might need a refill. (more…)

It was sort of weird a few weeks ago when the Bucs brought in big-time free agent Haason Reddick to talk to the local pen and mic club and the only football official who showed up was Reddick’s position coach. (more…)

Drew Rosenhaus talks about his client.

The Bucs are believing/hoping/praying they signed a beastly and hungry edge rusher in free agent Haason Reddick.

It was a critical move for Tampa Bay, so Joe tracked down superagent Drew Rosenhaus to talk about the move yesterday at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach. (more…)

That mindset was at the root of one offseason decision by Todd Bowles. (more…)
