Cornerback Richard Sherman.

Joe has a strong hunch Richard Sherman isn’t flying cross-country from Seattle to Tampa today just to have a couple of beers and admire the scenery at Clearwater Beach. (more…)

“Perfect fit.”

Watching the Bucs secondary Sunday, aside from always steady and reliable Carlton Davis, the word “sticky” doesn’t come to mind for Joe unless it was the residue of beer on the TV from throwing a mostly empty can of Bromosa at the wall after watching Rams receivers run laps around Bucs backup corners.

Status update.

Is Richard Sherman’s flight to Tampa today a cause-and-effect? (more…)

Salesman.

With apologies to Britney Spears, oops, he did it again. (more…)

Pitstop at One Buc Palace.

It seems Richard Sherman is making a visit to Tampa today. And it isn’t to have a plate of Arroz con Pollo at La Teresita. (more…)

Mr. Seven Rings did his best tonight to say facing New England on Sunday will be just another game in many ways, but a little bit of his true mindset seemed to ooze out. (more…)

Belicheat speaks

Joe’s not too into the Brady-Belicheat drama.

For Joe, it’s over. Tom Brady won a Super Bowl in Tampa while Bill Belicheat missed the playoffs and drefted a quarterback in the first round. (more…)

Straight talk.

In so many words, Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians said it all starts up front for a defense. (more…)

Not ruled out (yet).
