TAMPA TWO is back with Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks and Sage JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman.

A certain game is on their mind. All the fun is presented by The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.

Summed up the season.

When Joe saw the above photo yesterday afternoon, if Florida had been a forward-thinking state with mobile sports wagering, Joe would have quickly dropped $100 on the Bucs. [read more]

Not every head coach knows how to manage players.

Joe is not exaggerating. Consider what Mike Evans said last week. Many NFL coaches can’t even relate to their best players. [read more]

One of the truly nice guys of the Buccaneers roster got awfully annoyed yesterday and, hell, the season is over so he let loose his rage memories on national television. [read more]

So what did Tom Brady say, if anything, to his Buccaneers before yesterday’s Super Bowl hammering of the dazed and confused Chiefs yesterday?

Joe’s got an answer. [read more]

Former Bucs head coach Raheem Morris used to say he wanted “angry workers,” meaning perpetually pissed off football players.

The Bucs had plenty this season. [read more]

Not Todd Bowles.

Look, we are all human. Even reporters are on a big stage at a Super Bowl. [read more]

Joe simply cannot stop watching this video. [read more]

We know nothing about a bunch of Bucs free agents who are scheduled to hit the open market when the free agency dinner bell rings next month. [read more]

One crazy fun perk of being Super Bowl champs — in addition to telling your friends that your team is freakin’ Super Bowl champs — is that the Bucs will open the 2021 season at night and at home (aka The Licht House) expected to be Thursday, Sept. 9. [read more]

The NFL gods have quite a sense of humor.

This most improbable season ended in an improbable manner with a Super Bowl blowout. At 10:11 p.m., the Bucs turned the lights out on the Chiefs after a dominating performance that Tom Brady called “our best game of the year.”

It was the worst beatdown for Kansas City since Week 4 of the 2016 season, a span of 86 games. Patrick Mahomes was a junior at Texas Tech that day when the Steelers crushed the Chiefs 43-14.

This was worse. Much worse.

Todd Bowles draped a straitjacket over Tyreek Hill and Tampa Bay owned the trenches, hounding Mahomes relentlessly. A 14-2 powerhouse that had converted 49 percent on third down during the regular season went 3-for-13 on the money down.

Bankrupt. [read more]

It is 4 a.m. as Joe is typing this here story without going to bed after the Bucs won their second Super Bowl in franchise history. Yeah, Joe’s on fumes. So grab a cup of coffee — two if you have an extra empty mug — and celebrate this greatest of Victory Mondays.

Aw, who the hell is Joe kidding — Victory Offseason! [read more]

Payback was sweet for Antoine Winfield.

Bucs safety Antoine Winfield may not have realized it at the time, but he ended his rookie year by likely starting a fad that will last in the Tampa Bay region for years to come. [read more]

Late Bucs owner Malcolm Glazer

Team Glazer seems to enjoy addressing Bucs fans and media about as much as Joe likes to scrub toilets. [read more]
