Time to shine.

A lot of Bucs fans have created a two-word marketing slogan for the 2018 Bucs season that would have been a helluva lot cheaper and more accurate than what the Bucs paid for. [read more]

Doesn’t like crystal balls.

Thursday night, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht got Bucs fans worked up when he said it wasn’t fair to declare America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, the Bucs’ starting quarterback for the second road game of the season in Chicago. [read more]

Roster set (for now).

This is sure to change soon as general manager Jason Licht scans the waiver wire for help and makes offers, likely at offensive line, cornerback and running back. He’s already on the hunt for a long-snapper as he unloaded both previously on the roster.
