Devin White has a declaration.

Beautiful day on the practice fields of One Buc Palace today.

Too bad media wasn’t permitted to document the fun for fans. (more…)

“Tom, Maybe the Rays can use me? Then, I can do the hitting.”

Over the weekend, Bucs’ will-he-or-won’t-he, foot-rubbing tight end Rob Gronkowski was in South Florida, specifically at the Hard Rock in Hollywood. His long-time girlfriend Camille Kostek had a function for the jumped-the-shark Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. (more…)

Joe’s been having fun today mauling A+ food and Florida’s best craft beer at a Big Storm Brewery taproom while studying the NFL’s technology-produced Next Gen Stats. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

As Brent Musberger would say, “our friends in the desert” seem to like the Bucs’ season win-total at 11.5. (more…)

Joe enjoys the NFL’s NextGen data because it’s objective, derived from sensors in equipment and tracked via technology.

There is no clown involved to spin the numbers. (more…)

Free agent strategy.

One of the best pure football podcasts is the “Ross Tucker Football Podcast.” Tucker, a former Tom Brady teammate and a Princeton graduate who was a teammate there of NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt, played seven years in the NFL at offensive line. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Bucs fans hoping for another successful Super Bowl run are eager and anxious for the season to start. Eager because the Bucs are the toast of the NFL. Anxious because they wonder if the Bucs are a player or two short of a complete team. (more…)

Joe learned a couple of things last night.

First, Tom Brady had dinner with Shaq (The OG version) a few weeks ago. (more…)

Replacing Jason Pierre-Paul.

It’s never too early to look at the Week 1 matchup between the Bucs and the Cowboys in Jerry’s World. (more…)

When Leonard Fournette arrived in Tampa, he happily stated that the stacked boxes he ran against consistently in Jacksonville wouldn’t be commonplace with the Bucs. (more…)

“We won’t miss you, Cap.”

If believe Adam Schefter, Tom Brady pleaded with guard Alex Cappa to return to Tampa Bay but Cappa ran to Cincinnati for the cash and spurned The Goat. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht

Since we live in a microwave, drive-through, fast-food, 24/7 news and sports, movies-on-demand society, fans just hours after the NFL draft is completed demand grades. Now! (more…)

Still out there.

At this point, Joe is starting to think this is just a game of chicken. The one not to buckle wins. (more…)

Looking at the Bucs.
