Get ready.

While reporting a couple of days ago, beat writer Herb Zurkowsky said the Montreal Alouette’s five-man quarterback competition appeared to be a two-man race during the CFL team’s training camp. [read more]

When Beau Allen agreed to become a Buccaneer March 15, he had no idea he was joining the revolution.
Allen signed with Tampa Bay one day into free agency, figuring he would replace Swaggy Baker next to Gerald McCoy in the department of the interior. [read more]
More swagger, more often, is needed, Mike Evans explained earlier this week.
On how to maintain that through a game and a season, well, Evans has an idea. [read more]
Thanks teammate for the love.
It seems Mike Evans has been on a crusade of late. [read more]
Drafted Buccaneers rookies are signing their contracts right and left, including Vita Vea.

Rookie running back Ronald Jones under the watchful eye of RB coach Tim Spencer
Dirk Koetter is a tough guy. No question about it.
But while he is one of the most fearless coaches in the NFL (hey, if you start Doug Martin like Koetter did in 2017, then you’re one fearless SOB), there is an element of football where Koetter will take no chances. [read more]
Will years of personnel moves finally pay off?
Joe senses the growing excitement for football season. It’s hard to believe training camp starts in roughly two months. [read more]

Again, it is May. It’s not even Memorial Day yet. And, more importantly, it is the beginning of underwear football season. [read more]
New Bucs Super Bowl DE speaks

And the season, she is over. Oh what could have been, right?
That’s the hard part about the way it ended. If our Bolts aired it out – like Game 7 – and came up short, that’s one thing. But looking back on the whole of the Eastern Conference Finals, can you really say the Lightning left it all out on the ice? A frustrating edition of the JoeBoltsFan Podcast, talking the sins of Games 1 & 2, getting by with just enough, and do coach and/or captain need a second look? Bolts fans, we stick together, but let’s keep it real too.
Many thousands have enjoyed the JoeBoltsFan podcast with Tom Lang, lifelong Lightning fan, Clearwater native and popular personality at ESPN Tallahassee. And this is the second-to-last episode of the 2017-2018 season.
Bucs fans know Lang from The ScuttleBucs podcast, but do not fear, Lang knows his beloved Bolts inside and out.

Pulled off the unthinkable?
When Joe first saw this article, for a brief moment he thought he may have taken the wrong prescriptions. [read more]
Impressive as practice closed today
The Buccaneers were ordered to run sprints after practice today on the steaming hot practice fields of One Buc Palace.
There was a taste of summer swelter in the air and, frankly, Joe can’t remember the team running sprints after an OTA practice under Dirk Koetter. [read more]
New Bucs big-money kicker Chandler Catanzaro
And to think Dirk Koetter didn’t think this was much of a story this afternoon.
Coach, where’s your sense of history? [read more]
