“Tom, I just didn’t want you to get hit by a line drive foul ball from another field by some jackwagon rookie league shortstop.”

So Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians said this week he would be more than happy if his Bucs starters worked out at One Buc Palace unsupervised. (more…)

It’s an annual tradition, O.J. Howard trade speculation and O.J. Howard injuries.

PRESENTED BY BILL CURRIE FORD

For nearly 4 years, The Free Stretch has been right here at JoeBucsFan.com after being heard on several radio stations dating back to 2006. Bobby also hosted a national show on Sporting News Radio. (more…)

Bucs edge rusher Joe Tryon.

Former Jets and Dolphins shot-caller and current BSPN talking head Mike Tannenbaum not quite a year ago launched a football thinktank “The 33rd Team.” It’s got some good stuff. (more…)

TE O.J. Howard explains.

A lot has been typed about the impact of Tom Brady. Not just on the team, but the entire Bucs organization. (more…)

Terrorized QBs.

Yesterday, Bucs outside linebackers coach Larry Foote seemed to grouse a little bit about Bucs sack king Shaq Barrett. (more…)

Bucs OLB coach channels Bill Cowher.

Bucs outside linebackers coach Larry Foote knows what it is like to play in big games. He’s got two rings playing for the Steelers to prove it. (more…)

Barring injury, it is unlikely to expect first-round draft pick, edge rusher/outside linebacker Joe Tryon to be starting. (more…)

Bucs DC Todd Bowles.

One would think the guy in charge of a defense holding arguably the best quarterback in the NFL without a touchdown the last time it played a game, would be somewhat pleased with his squad’s development. (more…)

Busy understudies

Media largely was banned from the Buccaneers’ practice yesterday, Day 2 of offseason training activities known as OTAs. (more…)

When a 12-time Pro Bowler talks, Joe pays attention. (more…)

Bucs’ biggest foe.

There is but one obstacle in the mind of a uber NFL insider. (more…)

Loves playing with Gronk.

It’s only natural for a guy considered to be the best on a team at his position to get a bruised ego if the team brings in someone as good or better than him. (more…)
