If Bucs LG Logan Mankins can’t go Sunday, Lovie Smith isn’t worried.

Joe thought prior to the Jags game that Logan Mankins being out was really bad news.

Some football numbers lie, but you can’t argue points.

The Bucs allow a whopping 29.6 points per game. The Redskins (2-4) have scored just three points in the third quarter all season. And the Bucs haven’t scored a first-quarter touchdown. [read more]

Gerald McCoy had to pay off a wager he lost yesterday.

Last week, Joe brought word that other than making six-figures (or more) a year, when it comes to college football, Bucs players are just like you and Joe.

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson and the man he claims is the team’s new leader.

Joe thinks chatter about “leaders” in NFL locker rooms is so Harry High School it isn’t even funny. We’re talking pros, here.

In particular, folks wax about who the leaders of the Bucs were last year. Really? Leader(s) of a 2-14 team? What, is this some sort of Don Rickles’ one-liner? [read more]
