As Joe told his good friend “The Big Dog,” Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620, during the JoeBucsFan.com Hour yesterday, six wins would be nice progress because that would mean the Bucs tripled their win total from 2014

Joe has noticed virtually the entire Buccaneers team has embraced “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston.

“America’s Quarterback” has a life outside of football.
Joe just cannot believe how nuts some Bucs fans are. They whine all the time how the likes of BSPN won’t give the Bucs any attention — frankly, teams that finish 2-14 should get zero national attention other than to be mocked on a daily basis — and once the team gets a superstar and a national celebrity, all of a sudden it is horrible and the guy should be locked in Lovie’s Chicago basement until training camp. [read more]
