Prophetic GM

To start the second quarter last night, the Giants had a four-point lead and the ball with a 3rd-and-4 play deep in their territory. (more…)

Points off takeaways.

Somewhere in a cold, desolate windy cut cornfield in central Illinois, former Bucs coach Lovie Smith is smiling. (more…)

“Where you want me, Byron?”

This will add intrigue for folks who kept asking Joe on Twitter last night why Jaydon Mickens was targeted so much against the Giants and more balls weren’t going to star receiver Mike Evans. (more…)

It’s Victory Tuesday! We don’t get too many of these around these parts. So before you’ve had your third cup of java this morning, let’s quickly dive in. (more…)

On fire

It is beyond Joe’s wildest imagination for a quarterback to start for the Bucs and be damn near perfect. (more…)

Leonard Fournette was a happy man on Twitter following the Bucs squeaking past the Giants on Monday Night Football. (more…)

It’s not too harsh to say the BSPN announcing crew on Monday Night Football was horrendous tonight. (more…)

In what’s even more stunning than the Bucs run defense having a minor hiccup in tonight’s win against the Giants, the Bucs won a game on the back of their kicker. (more…)

Special season coming?

This may have been the worst game the Bucs played this year. (more…)

What a catch!

A key play in what turned out to be the drive that ended in a Mike Evans game-winning touchdown was a 20-yard catch by a Bucs rookie. (more…)

So what did Tom Brady do with the game on the line tonight in the Buccaneers’ final two drives? (more…)

Pretend I’m in the end zone, Tom!

It is starting to become a legitimate question. (more…)

It was messy. It was nerve-wracking. It was a game to forget immediately.

But in the end, the Bucs did what good teams do when they’re not playing well.

They won. (more…)

Comment all through tonight’s game here with fellow Bucs fans and a few haters who find their way in.

Have fun. Keep it clean and decent.

Go Bucs!!

Stick with Joe into the wee hours for plenty out of this key game.

It is said that good NFL organizations get rid of players sooner rather than later, meaning before they lose their value. (more…)

“Tom, I’m not sure Shady McCoy is Marcus Allen right now.”

It is always interesting for Joe to read what Joe Montana says about park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting Bucs quarterback Tom Brady. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ savior linebacker is the reigning NFC Defensive Player of the Week and he also has a budding friendship with Brett Favre.

That led to Devin White to join Favre on SiriusXM NFL Radio last week for a long chat. (more…)

Watch the Bucs-Giants game on Monday night with Ira Kaufman and fired up Bucs fans at Big Storm Brewing Co. in Clearwater. The taproom will be open late. Sage Ira rolls in about 6:45 p.m.

Their 3,000 square foot, covered outdoor seating area is fantastic. (Inside is awesome, too). Great sound and sight lines to go with Florida’s best craft beer and A+ food. Can’t go? Stock up on Bromosa, Wavemaker Amber Ale and the many other superior Big Storm beers.

Halftime giveaways and Florida’s best craft beer.

Nothing quite like watching a Bucs game in the A+ fully covered outdoor dining area @BigStormBrewing Clearwater. Look closely and you'll see @IKaufman76 pic.twitter.com/g72TjkjJbz

Lofty status.

Brace yourself. (more…)

Dynamic duo talk

The stories have been out there regarding the extreme support, including housing, Tom Brady is providing mercurial and felonious receiver Antonio Brown.

A Bucs official addressed this subject today. (more…)
