Bucco Bruce Arians made a promise early this year.

And he said it over and over. [read more]

A delicious plate of Hooters wings and their great salads, sandwiches and shrimp make for a heck of a lunch or dinner! Get it done! Locations are across the Bay area and online ordering is always easy from Joe’s great friends.

“Bruce, you said we were talented.”

Happy Halloween!

Steamed.

It seems to Joe that the Bucs locker room is a powder keg about to blow the lid off of things. [read more]

Awful game.

Now Joe isn’t fully sure if Bucco Bruce Arians behind the scenes is telling Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich who exactly to play and what plays to call, but Arians has said in the past it is Leftwich who is putting together gameplans. [read more]
