Bucs rookie cornerback Zyon McCollum

After hearing an in-depth interview this week, Joe now understands why the Bucs traded up to draft speedster rookie ballhawk cornerback Zyon McCollum out of Sam Houston State. (more…)

Bucs OL Luke Goedeke

A main reason the Bucs liked Central Michigan offensive lineman Luke Goedeke, aside from the fact he can block, is that the second-round draft pick was Ryan Jensen-like ornery in college. (more…)

Dealing with retirement distractions.

Fascinating insight from a man who has a pipeline into the inner workings of One Buc Palace. And that man is closet Bucs fan Peter Schrager of NFL Network. (more…)

Tough talk on Mike Evans.

A painful Mike Evans take was delivered by a big-name former Buccaneer, and once Joe got past the sting, a little research gave Joe pause. (more…)

A lot of Bucs fans toss and turn at night wondering who will win the Tampa Bay starting left guard job for opening day.

But deeper thought is required at the position. (more…)

More schedule leaks are flowing, and this one is from a very reputable source. Nola.com, the online arm of New Orleans’ top newspaper, has published a complete Saints schedule.

It shows the Bucs at the slimy Saints in Week 2 on Sunday, Sept. 18.

Then the Saints will travel to Tampa for a Week 13 clash at The Licht House on Monday, Dec. 5.

The Bucs better win that Week 2 clash and end the Saints’ ridiculous hex — and wipe the grin off Jameis Winston’s face.

Rojo’s return!

The schedule leaks are flowing, and this one comes directly from the source, NBC Sports.

They’ll be broadcasting the Chiefs at the Buccaneers in Week 4 on Sunday Night Football. The date is Oct. 2.

It’ll be Ronald Jones’ homecoming, and a nice reminder to Kansas City of how it got its ass beaten by the Bucs in Super Bowl 55.

Even Tom Brady had his price.

Joe has been monitoring the coverage of Tom Brady signing — as Kyle Brandt of NFL Network put it — a contract with FOX that includes “Space Invaders money,” and Joe is just fascinated by the reactions. (more…)

A day for fans.

Merry May Christmas! What a glorious day it is. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

After listening to offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich yesterday at One Buc Palace, you would have felt comfortable wagering that Tom Brady would not attend spring practices, aka OTAs, this year. (more…)

Did Todd Bowles get his man?

A prominent NFL voice with a direct pipeline to One Buc Palace says the Buccaneers drafted their Day 1 starting left guard 12 days ago. (more…)

“Tom, I was ready to quit that job after six months.”

Tom Brady is a very hard guy to figure out.

Even an elite NFL color analyst isn’t quite sure what Brady is thinking accepting the top NFL job for FOX Sports when his playing career ends. (more…)

Playoff Lenny

Running backs coach Todd McNair made an interesting point yesterday. (more…)

Still in the mix.

Joe gets this question a lot and never really had an answer for it. But yesterday, it seemed like an answer surfaced. (more…)

Ex-GM makes NFL comp.

Joe still aches anytime a person mentions Calais Campbell. (more…)

Accusation thrown at Bucs GM Jason Licht and his staff.
