The making of Lavonte David.

There were few things to like about the Bucs last year. You know, 2-14?

The best thing about last year was the Bucs won the Chase for Jameis. That is the greatest memory, other than the home run draft pick of wide receiver Mike Evans. [read more]

Many NFL fans in and out of Tampa Bay have thrown their hands in the air in frustration

Fashionista Paul Lukas of BSPN has revealed his annual rankings of NFL uniforms. Lukas does not like the Bucs’, which debuted last year.

Joe is a traditionalist and doesn’t like weirdo uniforms (oh, and this just in: Oregon, for example, doesn’t have uniforms, it has costumes. If you have two or more color schemes in road or home gear, you don’t have uniforms. Please consult Merriam-Webster for the definition of “uniform.” There is nothing “uniform” about Oregon’s gear.).

One year and one day ago, Joe remembers standing in the sweltering heat of Bucs spring practice when Mike Jenkins soared in the air for an interception a couple yards from Joe. [read more]

Was Charles Sims forced to play too early from an injury or was he simply over-hyped?

It is the chicken-or-the-egg theory with Bucs’ running attack, or lack thereof last year.

As a team, Tampa Bay only ran for 1,375 yards. In. A. Season.

Doug Martin was hurt and ran with his head down, for the most part, and tried to bowl over linebackers making little effort to be evasive. Charles Sims — let’s be brutally honest here — was either over-hyped or forced to play too early coming back from a bad wheel, or both. Bobby Rainey found himself in Lovie Smith’s doghouse and never found the exit. [read more]

Contrary to popular opinion, Joe ventures from the JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters and enjoys what the Tampa Bay area has to offer outside of football, Hooters and Hooters Calendar shoots.

And Joe’s travels this morning revealed a town that had no use for football. [read more]

Joe learned a lot about what it means to have an attorney who fights for your rights — and what it means to use one of those law firms that are highly advertised personal injury settlement mills.

Check out the informative blog linked above to learn how settlement mills work to mass produce the settlement of claims.

Oh, those numberscrunchers are at it again. This time their calculators are shining light on an interesting subject, and that is a quarterback’s ability to handle pressure. [read more]

Bucs rookie left tackle Donovan Smith

What is going on at One Buc Palace?

Is it possible that Bucs overlord of football operations Lovie Smith has handed off all things offensive line to general manager Jason Licht and O-line coach George Warhop? [read more]

A local pol stated upgrades will soon be finalized. Finally!

Joe wrote yesterday how Tampa is a finalist to land the Super Bowl in either 2019 or 2020, despite competing against three stadiums that either are brand new or have undergone major renovations recently. [read more]

The magic of “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston, rubbed off on the Lightning. Jameis was in attendance last night.

So as Joe settled in to watch David Letterman’s final show last night (Joe is feeling old. Eddie Van Halen is over 60 and Letterman is retired. Damn.), Joe’s Twitter feed blew up with photos of “America’s Quarterback,’ Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, in a luxury box at the thrilling Lightning overtime win. [read more]

It seems Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat writer Rick Stroud believes Jameis Winston has super powers. [read more]

NFL players have spoken. [read more]

Bill Polian wags a finger at those who believe the Bucs are a complete team.

Yes, the Bucs added a franchise quarterback in the draft, “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston. Yes, the Bucs added a pair of rookie offensive linemen projected to be starters.

Also, the Bucs bought quite few second-tier free agents that not just add depth, but know Lovie Smith’s defense. [read more]

When the Bucs decided to draft “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston, back in 2013 earlier this year, it was reasoned that Jameis would have a chance to succeed due to his weapons. [read more]

A couple of 2015 Buccaneers own a Super Bowl ring, and when one of them talks, it’s always worth listening. [read more]

Joe learned from a Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach that one way to spot a special teams stud is to look for players “jacking around” in the locker room. [read more]

Bucs kicker Patrick Murray’s job just got more important.

Joe’s dome is shaking at the rule change made yesterday that pushes an extra point back to the 15 yard line. [read more]

Nothing quite like enjoying a Rays game at Hooters with a giant ice cold beer. Click below for your nearest location and more.

The Bucs will turn to Kadeem Edwards at right guard, if rookie Ali Marpet cannot hack NFL competition early on.

Yes, the Bucs are putting a lot of pressure on “America’s Quarterback,” signal-caller Jameis Winston. Starting a rookie QB, no matter how talented he may be, is always a gamble.

Putting that same rookie behind a shaky offensive line could be the proverbial pulling the pin on a hand grenade. [read more]
