Give the man credit for being honest.

Bullish on Bucs.

Just yesterday Joe advised Bucs fans to tap the brakes on chatter about a Super Bowl this season simply because it appears Tampa Bay won the offseason with key free agent acquisitions and a solid draft. [read more]

Joe asked the big bad bully of the Bucs defense yesterday — and thank the heavens he’s on the roster — for his thoughts on the Buccaneers’ draft and the new offensive toys.
