Jackson-less Bucs Soon?

February 19th, 2019

Will Bucs leave him in stairwell?

Just judging recent history before Vinny Curry, when the Bucs start salary cap cuts prior to the free agency dinner bell ringing, those come in late-February. [read more]

The AAF Has A Target Audience: The NFL

February 19th, 2019

As a former season ticket holder of the USFL’s Tampa Bay Bandits, albeit with a student discount, Todd Wright knows more about the 1980’s pro spring football fling than most people. So when Todd hears most comparisons between the United States Football League and the Alliance of American Football, he can shoot them down immediately. This edition of The TODDcast discusses the clear difference in league philosophies and why Bill Polian’s product may not be exciting, but valuable.
The Todd Wright TODDcast is presented by Brandon Legal Group.

PRESENTED BY*Joe thinks it’s very cool to have Todd Wright diving back into the kind of thing he was known for nationally. 

For the last three years, Todd Wright has been podcasting here almost exclusively on fantasy football and Lightning playoff hockey. While those podcasts are not going away permanently, they each clearly have offseasons.

So, for the new year, Todd has a new podcast. And it simply covers pretty much anything that Todd finds interesting. No limits. Sort of like he did for nearly two decades on national radio as host and creator of AllNight with Todd Wright on ESPN in addition to other roles with Fox Sports Florida, Sirius/XM, Sporting News Radio, etc. Our thanks to Brandon Legal Group for their continuing support of both Todd Wright Tour golf tournaments as well as the TODDcast into 2019. Enjoy.

The Todd McNair Hiring

February 19th, 2019

Too loyal?

Yes, Bucco Bruce Arians primarily rounded up his trusted friends when he made his Buccaneers coaching staff.

The new head coach wasn’t scouring the country for the best possible candidates. [read more]

The Carl Nassib Effect

February 19th, 2019

Week after week, game after game, general manager Jason Licht would appear on the Buccaneers Radio Network pregame show with Gene Deckerhoff and rave about Carl Nassib last season.

It wasn’t every week, but it sure felt that way. [read more]

Morris Claiborne And The Bucs

February 19th, 2019

Dot-connecting.

With the exception of wily veteran Brent Grimes, Bucs cornerbacks have damn near been a nightmare as bad as kickers since inept Lovie Smith took over. [read more]

Welcome To Tag Day

February 19th, 2019

Becomes filthy rich today?

Will the Bucs lock up left tackle Donovan Smith today or will the Bucs let him test the free agent waters come March 13? [read more]

Kicking Chaos

February 19th, 2019

Graphic tells it all.

Ever since basketball-playing Connor Barth blew out his Achilles, the Bucs picking has been a complete nightmare. [read more]

Christmas In April

February 19th, 2019

Can Santa come early?

In Joe’s eyes, if the Bucs don’t come out of the No. 5 pick with a pass-rushing specialist, it will be a waste of a golden opportunity. [read more]

Pointing Fingers

February 18th, 2019

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Dirk Koetter’s in Atlanta, Mike Smith is in the broadcast booth and Vinny Curry is looking for work.

So much has transpired since the 2018 Bucs reported to training camp to begin the organization’s annual quest for NFL relevance. We know what happened, but we still don’t know why it happened. [read more]

Donovan Smith Example

February 18th, 2019

Chiefs LT Eric Fisher set pattern for Bucs LT Donovan Smith?

The way a veteran NFL scribe sees it, if you want to see what Bucs free agent and left tackle Donovan Smith could be, look west to Kansas City. [read more]

Mark Duffner Doomed?

February 18th, 2019

Guilt by association?

A sign of just how incredibly rotten the Bucs defense was the past two years may be found in who isn’t working. [read more]

The One That Got Away

February 18th, 2019

Lesson learned?

One great free agency miss by the Jason Licht-Dirk Koetter regime was not fishing for the big fish of 2017 free agency.

Ironically, the Bucs were afraid to risk it, so they got no biscuit — one of Bruce Arians’ most tasty biscuits. [read more]

Kwon A “Must?”

February 18th, 2019

Keep, but at what price?

Joe doesn’t envy Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht’s job in the coming weeks. [read more]

Bruce Arians No. 2

February 18th, 2019

Reporter lauds.

It’s rare to read Bucs news on another team website, but it appears Bob Kraft wants to compete with SI.com and other national sports sites by offering NFL news from other teams on his site. [read more]
