New nickname?

Around One Buc Palace, the shot-callers believe Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield is a “pr!ck.” And with the Bucs, that’s a good thing. (more…)

Get. Him.

Joe is seriously thinking about making this a weekday column with the same headline daily. For every drip of the faucet, for every day that goes by that this is not addressed, Joe gets more and more stressed if not p!ssed. (more…)

Tampa Bay not just puckheads.

This isn’t exactly No. 1 bullsh!t. (more…)

Recently traded Bucs cornerback Carlton Davis was introduced to Detroit Lions media today.

The Bucs dumped a “Gravedigger” two days ago and added one today.

The departed one, former Bucs No. 1 cornerback Carlton Davis, met with the Detroit media this afternoon. Joe enjoyed the fun with a plate of Hooters wings and an ice cold Big Storm beer (Bromosa). (more…)

“Tough” call.

We all sort of guessed it, but now it is confirmed. (more…)

Bone-crushing safety Jordan Whitehead is back where he started.

Joe loves when listeners of the Ira Kaufman Podcast get A-list insight, and that happened multiple times this past week. (more…)

Back home.

There were rumblings on social media from Bucs players/defenders over the weekend this may happen. And it did. (more…)

Is Todd Bowles somehow great for the salary cap? (more…)

The Bucs GM shared today how he was hounded by his head coach religiously.

Later today, Joe will share an exclusive look at how Todd Bowles has an influence on the Buccaneers offense.

Today, Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht gave a different kind of taste. (more…)

Baker Mayfield speaks.

Everyone paying attention knows Baker Mayfield’s new contract is a fraction of what comparable fellow Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins got on his new deal with the Falcons. (more…)

Fire lighter GM Jason Licht.

One 10-year NFL veteran with a Super Bowl ring firmly believes Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht knows what the hell he is doing. (more…)

Season No. 13.

Joe thinks he can speak for all Bucs fans when they heard franchise icon Lavonte David re-upped for the 2024 season. (more…)

Not nearly enough.

The Bucs need an edge rusher, not some dude who had three or four sacks last year, but double-digits. If the Bucs are happy with three or four sacks, then make sure Joe Tryon-Shoyinka starts 17 games. (more…)

Stability.

When chaos is spinning, you can always bank on Lavonte David. (more…)

“Derek, I’m going to have some decent pasta for a change. Tired of all this #$@ damned Cajun seasoning.”

This is one way to chase Chucky out of the NFC South. (more…)

Joe looks forward to JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman rolling up his sleeves in 6 or 7 years and finding the proper angles to begin the process of getting Lavonte David into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame.

It seems David has thought about it, too. (more…)

Returns for 2024.

UPDATED: To the surprise of no one, one of the best Bucs defenders in franchise history will be back for at least one more season. (more…)

New gig.

UPDATED: Good to see that former Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett was able to quickly find work. (more…)

Grade.

Look, Joe knows you can’t buy every player and teams must adhere to a salary cap — except the slimy Saints. (more…)

Lauded by NFL house organ.

Right about now, if you are a Bucs player and love the Tampa Bay area and want to stay with the Bucs but your contract is running out, so long as Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht is calling the shots, you will return. (more…)
