The fridge is stocked with Bromosa and other Big Storm beers, and Joe’s catching up on game film and interviews. (more…)

What may become the most-watched game in NFL regular-season history will be played Oct. 3, when the Belicheats host the Bucs.

One stat nugget that has nothing to do with the passing-yards record will be heard often during the massive hype for the game. (more…)

“Holy linebackers, Batman!”

Yes, the Bucs have a Dynamic Duo of their own. (more…)

Before Tom Brady was signed by the Bucs, some Brady observers were questioning what was left of his arm talent. (more…)

Gunning for history.

Nothing is better than when someone tells you that you cannot do a task — and then you complete it successfully. (more…)

Happy Independence Day!

Today is like Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, all rolled into one big bottlerocket!

That’s what today, the Fourth of July, is for Joe.

The Fourth of July is easily Joe’s favorite holiday. The only thing missing is live football.

Today is all about fun, hitting the beaches, hitting the water, drinking like a fish, grilling cattle, hog, chicken, buffalo and whatever animal you like, and at the end of the day, watching people blow up stuff (which drives howling dogs throughout [oh, no] Pasco County running for pillows to shred).

Bucs OLB Jason Pierre-Paul.

Joe is surprised he didn’t have long-term damage to his throat or esophagus due to the many years Joe fought acid reflux because of the garbage pass rush the Bucs used to employ. (more…)

Joe has learned the past 16 months or so that Tom Brady talking in a national forum makes headlines every time. (more…)

Jason Pierre-Paul

Is there a Joe Tryon lesson here? (more…)

Joe’s very intrigued by a fresh, backhanded and significant boost to the profile of our beloved Buccaneers. (more…)

Tom Brady and Byron Leftwich confer (screen shot from 2021 Buccaneers production In The Current).

There’s a plausible reason why Tom Brady wasn’t fined and punished by the NFL last year, and it’s not because he and Roger Goodell are such great pals. (more…)

Bradley Pinion makes his case — albeit a strange one.

Just when Joe thought/hoped another punter-related post wouldn’t appear here until 2022, Bradley Pinion left Joe no viable option. (more…)

Improvement predicted.
