Well, at least we have the holidays to distract us from this cesspool. [read more]

We’re just FOUR days from this amazing annual offer at Abe’s Place in Clearwater, Joe’s home away from home.

On Black Friday, starting at 11 a.m., buy a $50 gift card and get one free. And you can use them immediately! There is no catch! It’s an Abe’s tradition. (See details above)

People literally drive from the across the Tampa Bay area to savor Abe’s historic wings. Some even say Abe created the “boneless” wing. Well, whoever is the creator, Abe’s sure has perfected it.

Joe loves the big portions, the fresh seafood and the unmatched beer selection, 44 on draft. And why is Abe’s beer colder than everyone else’s???

Sit inside or outside. Bring the family, or enjoy the fun bar. Give yourself the gift of Abe’s.

There are a lot of unknowns as we look at the just finished loss at the Giants. [read more]

Yes, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, led the Bucs on four touchdown drives in his first four series pinch-hitting for never-shoulda-started quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Jameis was great. But he did not protect the football. [read more]

After the biggest rushing day of his impressive young career yesterday, Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley got dressed, finished up with the New York media and then bonded with family and friends outside the New York locker room.

And then he talked to Joe.

Dirk Koetter said last week’s decision was close. This one shouldn’t be.

If Koetter has the audacity to announce Ryan Fitzpatrick as his starter Sunday against the 49ers, it can mean only one thing – the man wants to get fired. [read more]

It’s not often that Joe gets private time with America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston.

That happened today in the somber Bucs locker room at the Meadowlands. [read more]

Yes, the Bucs are a weird football team, arguably the greatest soap opera in professional sports. [read more]

Injured Lavonte David talks to Joe

Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter is on the kind of run that gets a head coach fired, 9-20 run since capping off a five-game win streak in December 2016.  [read more]

The warrior in the Buccaneers’ backfield appeared to be the last player out of the trainers’ room tonight in the bowels of MetLife Stadium.

Joe was waiting for him. [read more]

The Bucs ought to print this out and paste it in every defender’s locker, in every defensive meeting room. Hell, put in on the side of the stadium just like a player’s mural. [read more]

Injury concern.

John Gilmore was a tight end that logged 10 years in the NFL, three with the Bucs playing for Chucky and Raheem Morris. [read more]

Decision Monday.

It was like two different quarterbacks. One was who we thought he was: a journeyman. The other is who we thought he was: a stud of a prospect with a gifted arm. [read more]

Intelligent scheme.

Props to Bucs receiver Mike Evans and America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. It seems they have hatched a perfectly brilliant plan to take advantage of all the Bucs turnovers. [read more]

Too much.

The defense played about the way Joe thought the defense would play. [read more]

Bucs and Dirk Koetter are 9-20 since their highest of highs.

It’s hard to lose with proficiency like the Bucs have displayed since their highest of highs in the post-Chucky era.

The inevitable happened today.

The Bucs lost because they have no defense, and the Ryan Fitzpatrick Experience ended like seemingly everybody but Dirk Koetter knew it would in a series of soul-sucking turnovers. [read more]

Comment all game below with fellow Bucs fans and the occasional troll.

Keep it clean and ditch the personal attacks, unless they’re directed at Eli Manning or the lunacy of benching Jameis Winston. (Joe’s filters are ready for you extreme haters.)

Most important, have fun, stay safe, and prepare for Joe’s award-winning postgame coverage live from Jersey.

Go Bucs!

“I’m never going to play.”

Man, when a guard goes on injured reserve and is out for the season and a reserve guard still cannot dress for a game, it’s evident to Joe that something is up. [read more]

DC Mark Duffner dances around philosophy question

Will Brent Grimes shadow Odell Beckham today and try to limit his production? [read more]

Running out of patience with two subjects.

Yes, we all know on Friday night Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said offensive coordinator Todd Monken will call offensive plays for the Bucs. Today. For now. [read more]
