Where is Bucs’ weakness?
Joe thinks just about everyone knows the key reason the Bucs beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl: Pass rush. (more…)
In a sense, Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian isn’t surprised the Bucs made a run to win the Super Bowl. (more…)

Defying human nature.
Maybe it is just Joe watching games through pewter and red glasses, but park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking, tequila-shooting, trophy-throwing Bucs Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady didn’t look anything like a 43-year old quarterback.
He looked like he could easily play two more years. (more…)

Has his QB’s back.
Bucs left tackle Donovan Smith protects his quarterback’s blind side on the field and off. (more…)

Pass-catching free agent RB.
The Bucs roster will look different in a few weeks. That’s because the salary cap is going to force the Super Bowl champs to make moves or non-moves. (more…)

This is sort of the other side to the reputable late-November report that Tom Brady was demanding better Bucs coaching. (more…)

A Bucs coach speaks out
Joe is smiling while thinking of the historic swagger the rock star Bucs will bring next season — hopefully in a normalized world — with a head coach who lets players be themselves and embraces media fun. (more…)
Enter below.
Crescent Oaks Golf Club in Tarpon Springs.

UPDATED: 6:03 p.m. – Awful news breaking this afternoon. (more…)
It’s unclear what internal force will move Tom Brady to be hypermotivated next season, but Bucco Bruce Arians seems to know what burned inside Mr. Seven Rings in 2020. (more…)

Irreplaceable?
Joe came across a list of the top sack artists in the NFL since 2018. (more…)

Players respect him.
One guy Joe fully expects not to be on the roster for the Bucs in 2021 is beastly Ndamukong Suh. (more…)

Weighing best players.
You know this had to come sooner rather than later given that excitement will be limited between now and when the free agency dinner bell rings on March 17 (legal tampering opens March 15). (more…)

Extension?
It’s fun to think about what the Bucs will be in 2021, even though Joe doesn’t want to quit embracing that Super Bowl victory eight days ago. (more…)

Bucs trying to lure him back.
The following seems to be good news for the Bucs in their quest to retain furniture-tossing, bicycle-throwing free agent receiver Antonio Brown. (more…)

Playoff Lenny.
If nothing else, Playoff Lenny’s street cred went up just after a quality one-liner. (more…)

What is GM Jason Licht’s priority list? Expect it to stay behind the mask.
One of the most cerebral NFL analysts out there is a three-time Super Bowl winner who is off the radar of most Bucs fans. (more…)

Ronald Jones
Three-time All-Pro Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu, a guy who might land in the Hall of Fame one day, was part of an interesting and fun moment in the Super Bowl last Sunday. (more…)

Rare pash rusher.
If Joe told you that somehow with a magic wand, the Bucs could have either James Harrison or Cameron Wake in his prime, you wouldn’t blink an eye before approving. (more…)

Shares victory with his dad.
The way people talk about Antoine Winfield, Sr. and how much he’s been a part of his son’s football life (and clearly raised a fine young man and a helluva player), Joe almost feels the elder Winfield is part of the Bucs. (more…)
