No, the root cause of three bad passes in a row late in the first half doesn’t have to be the bad thumb of salad-bar-hating, park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking, tequila-shooting, smartphone-phobic, waffle-grilling, trophy-throwing, roller-coaster-scared, numbers-rules-peeved, helmet-tossing, football-punting, Bucs-Super-Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady.

Good morning on this beautiful Victory Friday. Joe doesn’t get to type that often so let’s dive in to the deep end of the pool while we enjoy it. (more…)

Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction. (more…)

Joe is so encouraged by the Bucs’ 5-1 start, despite savior linebacker Devin White looking like a mere mortal and little like the force he was in the playoffs last season. (more…)

At times against the Eagles last night Joe was having 2010 flashbacks. (more…)

Was injured thumb bothering Tom Brady?

Strong game!

Who had O.J. Howard with 49 yards receiving and a touchdown tonight? (more…)

Yeah, everyone loves Tom Brady. But Joe has to bow to the men who didn’t allow Brady to get sacked tonight.

He was hit just three times. (more…)

Bucs QB Tom Brady.

The versatile and lethal Bucs offense marches on. (more…)

More hate.

Comments through tonight’s game with fellow fans and a small handful of haters.
