New Bucs head coach Todd Bowles.

If Tom Brady departed Tampa, Bucs fans inevitably would say some form of, “Damn, that’ll cost us three regular season wins with X as our new quarterback.” Some would have gone there to a degree if Todd Bowles left for a head coaching gig in January.

But what about Bucco Bruce Arians? (more…)

Torn.

So as Joe has detailed, Bucs foot-rubbing tight end Rob Gronkowski told Jimmy Kimmel he isn’t sure if he wants to get beaten up for 17 weeks again (not counting playoffs) and that is why he hasn’t re-signed with the Bucs yet. (more…)

Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth.

Unnamed on network TV.

Joe is convinced when furniture-tossing, bicycle-winging, tantrum-throwing, quitting receiver Antonio Brown jogged into the tunnel after doing topless jumping jacks in the end zone at MetLife Stadium, so too went the Bucs’ chances of a Super Bowl repeat. (more…)
