Last year was a rough one for the most high-profile Bucs fan in the land, and that is Dick Vitale. (more…)

In 2019 and 2020, the Bucs had the best run defense in the NFL. No team allowed fewer yards per carry than Tampa Bay in that span.

Last year was a very different story. (more…)

“Kyle, just wait your turn.”

What originated from One Buc Palace last week may be the weirdest thing Joe has seen since Austin Seferian-Jackwagon got thrown out of an underwear football practice and quickly thereafter engaged in a Twitter fight with a Tampa fireman. (more…)

Hungry.

Cornerback depth is an important X-factor with the 2022 Bucs, so it’s worth noting the bottle of cologne, cornerback Pierre Desir, is unemployed despite making two starts and collecting two interceptions and 28 tackles last season. (more…)

Joe gets a laugh out of how Saints fans (and some Bucs fans) assume Jameis Winston having ACL surgery in November is no big deal and he’ll be a healthy quarterback for opening day and Week 2 against the Bucs. (more…)

Needing an edge.

Joe saw in the comments here where someone went off on the NFL, thinking it is trying to screw with the Bucs by giving them a tough schedule in hopes they collapse. (more…)

NFL Network stats queen.

Rookie RB Rachaad White

You have to admit, the Bucs have a cool helmet. (more…)

Looking at rookies.

So last week the underwear football season began when the Bucs held two days of rookie minicamp practice. (more…)

New Bucs receiver Russell Gage

Our beloved Buccaneers have a No. 3 receiver earning $10 million per year.

Think about that. It’s historic! (more…)

It’s as delicious as you think it is!

Second-year receiver/returner Jaelon Darden

Last year’s fourth-round pick, wide receiver Jaelon Darden, frustrated many Bucs fans as a rookie. (more…)
