Well this is disturbing.
It appears a renowned former Buc noticed a fatal flaw in the secondary the Bucs threw onto the field last season. [read more]

Biscuit worth the risk-it.
For Joe, the Bucs took part in all sorts of risky moves this offseason. The hiring of Bruce Arians was not one of them. [read more]

Fresh chatter from Mike Evans
Mike Evans had a busy time last week with his free youth camp in Galveston, Texas, and chatting about boxing and the Bucs. [read more]

Offseason moves explained.

And that was before the Bucs cut Johnson after paying him $16 million for one-year of non-service. [read more]
The jersey can be yours! Just enter in the form below. Joe’s friends at Caldeco Air Conditioning and Heating and The Identity Tampa Bay are serving up this gift for Buccaneers fans. … … Remember to enjoy TAMPA TWO with Brooks and Ira Kaufman talking Bucs.

Consider the Bucs sold on Peyton Barber, the guy who cranked out the 19th-most rushing yards in the NFL last year. [read more]

Team building questioned.
With the exception of hiring Bucco Bruce Arians, Frank Schwab of Yahoo! Sports can’t see exactly how the Bucs improved in their quest to jump from two straight seasons of 5-11 to a winning campaign. [read more]

Harsh feedback.
Joe doesn’t believe in summer siestas. That’s why it is common during these steamy days for Joe to bring a laptop to a beach bar and bang away on the keyboard while enjoying the (ahem) summer scenery over a cold, frosty mass-produced domestic lager. [read more]
