PRESENTED BY

Second-year defensive tackle Calijah Kancey.

Tampa Bay players are on vacation — except the ones that aren’t. [read more]

More Yaya Diaby would be/should be a good thing. [read more]

Scapegoat for haters.

When people bellyache about the offensive line, it’s about on the same level to Joe as ear ringing in the days following an AC/DC concert. [read more]

Ready to pounce.

One reason why the Bucs internally are irked by the low expectations of #NFLMedia is a belief the forecasters are completely overlooking several elements. [read more]

Sad analysis.

Joe isn’t surprised and, frankly, shouldn’t be surprised. Still, it blows Joe’s mind how many people working in #NFLMedia refuse to believe what their eyes told them and consider the Bucs to be a trash team. [read more]

Not everyone hates.

You’ve read this many times and probably will continue to read it until the season starts in September. The vast majority of national #NFLMedia are down on the Bucs because they just don’t believe in Baker Mayfield.

But not all in the media. [read more]

Community servant.

Bucs guard Cody Mauch can’t hide from Joe in Harvey, North Dakota — population 1,621. [read more]

The no BS leader of the Lions defense, former three-time Pro Bowl cornerback and current defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, seems to have a new favorite in his secondary.

That would be former Bucs cornerback (2018-2023) Carlton Davis. [read more]

BY IRA KAUFMAN

We’re less than a month away from the start of NFL training camp and the Buccaneers are feeling very good about themselves.

The Las Vegas pundits have pegged Tampa Bay for seven or eight wins, but the oddsmakers misjudged this franchise badly in 2023 as the Bucs exceeded expectations en route to a third consecutive division title. [read more]

Another career year?

We are in the throes of List Season. With NFL players and personnel scattered on vacation across the globe and One Buc Palace set to close soon for the annual summer siesta week, the hungry beasts that are NFL fans must still be fed. [read more]

Using receivers in motion.

Yesterday, Joe brought up concerning facts about Liam Coen and his lone season as an NFL offensive coordinator in Los Angeles. [read more]

Offense not clutch late.

Well, this is rather disturbing. [read more]

Overlooked man.

When Joe reads one of the many on the growing list of #NFLMedia who think the Bucs are one of the worst teams in the league this year — yet hype Kirk Cousins as a second coming of Tom Brady with less jewelry — it frustrates Joe for one reason. [read more]

Retired Bucs guard Ali Marpet.

As a man obsessed with all things Bucs, of course Joe listened to former Buccaneers guard Ali Marpet’s induction speech into the Hobart College Hall of Fame. [read more]

Progress!

Last year the Bucs opened one training camp practice to the masses after none in 2022. This year, there will be two sessions open to the general public at One Buc Palace.

It should be more, but Joe will take it. [read more]
