The Bucs are much healthier than they appeared a week ago.

Not only is Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) on tonight’s active roster, the Bucs promoted guard Michael Jordan from the practice squad and is active, too. A summer free agent pickup, Jordan started two games at left guard early this season and played damn well.

Jordan was battling a knee issue but practiced the past two weeks.

What an assignment the Bucs have tonight against beastly Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchison. Joe’s wearing custom made Charlie Heck survival beads. (more…)

Through six weeks in this space, Joe is up $134.00 after another winning week. What a public service Joe has provided!

Disclaimer: Do NOT wager if losing will ruin your life, or day, or week.

Details emerge.

The mystery cloaking the sad news yesterday of the death of former Bucs running back Doug Martin has taken a disturbing turn on a couple of levels. (more…)

Ready to play.

It just blows Joe’s mind how the Bucs last week against the 49ers were down to their Nos. 5-7 receivers, and never really missed a beat. (more…)

Ready for Detroit.

Last year Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum was in his first season as a full-time starter. It didn’t take him very long to make an impact. (more…)

Agrees with Nick Saban.

Nearly a decade ago when Nick Saban ruled college football, he thought his Alabama players weren’t giving their best efforts because they were reading too many articles and watching too much BSPN telling them they were an unbeatable team.

Saban deemed the content lifting Alabama to unreachable heights without actually being there to be “rat poison” to players. (more…)

Clash of wills with Dan Campbell.

Detroit coach Dan Campbell and Bucs coach Todd Bowles are old-school football guys. They came up through the coaching ranks with the same Hall of Fame coach. (more…)

“I won’t let you down, ‘Bake.'”

Joe doesn’t know who to give the credit for this. (more…)

Falcons owner Artie Blank.

Joe was glad to watch this unfold this morning, even if it was part of the rival Rams clobbering Liam “El Serpiente” Coen’s punchless Jaguars. (more…)

Remember when the consensus was that the NFC South is once again a brutal division this year? (more…)
