Per the eyeballs of the Custodian Of Canton, eye-RAH! Kaufman of The Tampa Tribune, superstar wide receiver Mike Evans was not dressed for practice this afternoon during the 30-minute window open to media at One Buc Palace. [read more]

Predictions are flowing in fast for the 2015 season, and the hot calls in the NFC South are emerging. [read more]

Last year at this time, Lavonte David was working on playing lower and starting his pre-snap routine in a deeper crouch.

This year, David has a new focus. [read more]

Jameis talks about being a stud thoroughbred — with another stud thoroughbred.

Joe’s never seen a rookie with so much poise and confidence at a pre-opening-day news conference. Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, didn’t surprise Joe this afternoon with his comfort before a press corps, but it’s still stunning.

Among other things, Jameis perfectly explained his relationship with Marcus Mariota. [read more]

Bucs LT Donovan Smith plans to practice today.

Exhale, Bucs fans. [read more]

A changed Jameis?

Former Bucs QB and current BSPN talking head Trent Dilfer explains his recent conversation with America’s Quarterback.

Sunday will be an interesting day for Joe and the Tampa Bay sports scene. It is the official debut of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. A new, much-needed era.

However, on the other sideline for the Titans is wily veteran defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau and his Super Bowl rings (won with the Steelers), and his crazy zone blitzes. [read more]

New Bucs right tackle Gosder Cherilus

The guy starting the last few Bucs preseason games at right tackle, Reid Fragel, is now on the Tampa Bay practice squad.

A former Bucs QB dishes on America’s Quarterback.

Yes, Joe is sure by now most Bucs fans have heard that America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, is some kind of football savant. A true football brainiac.

A former Bucs quarterback agrees and believes Jameis may be just too smart. [read more]

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson points a direct finger at what ailed the Bucs last season.

Yesterday, Vincent Jackson paid a visit to the airwaves of “The Blitz,” co-hosted by Rich Gannon and Bruce Murray, heard exclusively on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Jackson is one of those players that when he does talk, speaks eloquently but doesn’t say a whole lot (though he isn’t as talented in this trait as Josh McClown. That dude could talk for 30 minutes and when he finished, you’d say to yourself, ‘What the hell did he actually say?’). [read more]

Peter King of theMMQB.com breaks down the Mariota vs. Jameis showdown.

For Bucs fans, it is the season opener. The opponent is the Titans (Joe really wants to use the shortened version of “Titans” which is similar to what “Jags” is for “Jaguars.” Alas, Joe runs a PG-rated site). [read more]

George Johnson talks about his new role at right defensive end

George Johnson is not the next Simeon Rice, but he is the guy with the best shot to be the Bucs’ next 10-sacks-in-a-season edge rusher.

Sunday, Johnson will start versus the Titans, and it’s a very special day for him. [read more]

It is unfair to single out Gerald McCoy for the Bucs’ losing ways.

So last week, simmering disdain was rekindled between Gerald McCoy and the noted longtime McCoy critic, sports radio personality and former Bucs guard Ian Beckles, of WDAE-AM 620. [read more]

Joe’s already called opening day against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 13 in Tampa a “must-win.”

It’s not a must-win for the standings. Duh. But it is necessary for the psyche of a fan base that hasn’t seen a home victory since 2013, and compares Jameis Winston to Marcus Mariota. [read more]

Can’t play? No pay.

Joe actually got negative feedback on Twitter from Bucs fans who were irked that two members of the 2015 draft class, fullback Joey Iosefa and kick returner Kaelin Clay, did not make the final-53 man roster. [read more]

Lovie says his defense will lay it all on the field facing Titans QB Marcus Mariota.

Better be ready, rook. Lovie Smith is throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at you.

Yes, you, Marcus Mariota, spread offense quarterback trying to play in the NFL. [read more]
