Carlton Davis talks Rams, Saints’ jibber-jabber, and getting picked on.
The forgotten first-half gaffe of the Bucs-Rams playoff game is one that Carlton Davis hasn’t forgotten, even if most Tampa Bay fans have. (more…)

“Scooter, we did it again!”
Bucs fans love to reminisce over the Tom Brady bomb to Scotty Miller to close the first half of the 2020 season’s NFC Championship game. (more…)

Odd response from Tom Brady today, one that could make a few people think he’s still hopeful that Rob Gronkowski will return. (more…)

Says Bucs center in good spot.

Bucs cornerback Carlton Davis
So for now, creepy Browns quarterback DeShaun Watson has a six-game suspension for the 2022 NFL season. It was handed down today by the judge ruling on his misdeeds on behalf of the NFL and its players association. (more…)

Receiver Breshad Perriman.

Lavonte David
Through four days of underwear football at training camp (aka pads-free practices), the explosiveness of Lavonte David is in Joe’s top-3 most encouraging signs.
