What are the Bucs up to with Henry Melton?

Now we can add two more factors to the growing Henry Melton mystery.

Damn, Joe’s waiting for Gillian Anderson to emerge on the training camp sidelines. [read more]

Leslie Frazier and company are surprising

If you’re looking for fourth-year cornerback Leonard Johnson at Bucs practice, he’s likely he’s within three feet of Tampa Bay’s dedicated nickel cornerback coach Larry Marmie.

They’re often alone, which is a bit of a surprise to Joe and a member of the Buccaneers’ defensive backs corps. [read more]

Be on the lookout, Bucs fans. It seems a new middle linebacker may be pushing his way into the forefront of your Bucs viewing pleasure.

And his name is Kwon Alexander. [read more]

A certain NFL center compared “America’s Quarterback” to Packers superstar Aaron Rodgers.

It’s no secret how terribly irked Joe was by the tough-guy front Bucs center Evan Smith was giving “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.

The longer time went on, the more hints emerged that there was rancor between the two, even from offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. [read more]

Time to join the club, Lavonte.

Joe never imagined seeing another Derrick Brooks prowling the sidelines for the Bucs.

Then along came the closest thing Joe has seen to Brooks. That man is Bucs linebacker Lavonte David. [read more]

Bucs signed free agent DT Tony McDaniel, formerly with the Seahawks.

Well, maybe Da’Quan Bowers hasn’t worked out in his second life with the Bucs after all? [read more]

Here’s a big ol’ shining light on the mess of the 2014 Bucs. And it might explain why Josh McCown got excommunicated so quickly after the season ended. [read more]

Current Bucs GM Jason Licht gives his predecessor a shoutout.

Bucs fans love to loathe former rock star general manager Mark Dominik.

Joe thinks this is hilarious for several reasons, the biggest is that the tandem of Chucky/Bruce Almighty were absolutely and horrendously rotten at player evaluation, so much so that the duo was likely worse than the much-maligned Matt Millen. [read more]

Seems Lovie Smith plans to use LB Lavonte David in more ways this fall.

Refreshing and heartwarming words from Bucs coach Lovie Smith today when the Bucs held a press conference to formally announce Bucs stud linebacker Lavonte David has been inked to a new pact. [read more]

Stinking Panthers QB Cam Newton goes mental after throwing a pick in practice today.

Since Bucs fans somehow have become hypersensitive about interceptions in practice, Joe has decided to offer stories on established star quarterbacks throwing picks in practice. [read more]

Joe realizes there is a fringe faction of Bucs fans that wants to see Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, shut up and know his place as a rookie.

And half of those lunatics think Jameis should be in a fair competition with Mike Glennon for a starting gig. [read more]

What’s more soothing at lunchtime than America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, connecting for a touchdown with Vincent Jackson?

Joe can think of a few things, but this is still loads of fun. [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 fanbase that’s hasn’t seen a home victory since 2013, and compares Jameis Winston to Marcus Mariota. [read more]

New Bucs cornerback Sterling Moore

Lovie Smith is going to stop you in your tracks if you tell him his defense is just like the one his great friend Rod Marinelli and the Dallas Cowboys are playing. [read more]

As a general manager with a shaky offensive line, it takes strong manhood to draft a Division III offensive lineman in the second round, and then try and convert the guy from left tackle to right guard with a goal of starting as a rookie.

But Bucs GM Jason Licht didn’t hesitate in May, and now Marpet Madness is sweeping One Buc Palace and JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. [read more]

This is the season of the notorious question, “Who is looking good?”

Joe gets it all the time in August. All the time. Joe’s knee-jerk reaction is to mention a Bucs cheerleader of the past. However, these questions are about Bucs players in training camp. [read more]
