NFL Network’s Mike Mayock talks Bucs offense.

A lot of fans look at the Bucs, stare at their 12-36 record through their past three seasons, and see nothing but dreck. [read more]

It’s time for high fives at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters and a thank you to the masses.

Joe’s been typing away here for 7 1/2 years and living the Bucs life. Yesterday, Joe eclipsed the 24,000 post mark. Hey, that’s an average of 10 blog posts publishing per day here on JoeBucsFan.com.

No outlet in town has brought you more on the Bucs since August 2008. It’s really not close.

Fueled by a 24/7 passion for Bucs football, Joe will continue marching ahead to 25,000 (unless Team Glazer pays Joe a handsome sum to do something else, or to do nothing.)

If you’re new to the website, you’ll see that Joe attacks the offseason like a mythical free shrimp and fries buffet at Hooters. There is no offseason here.

Speaking of Hooters, Joe would like to thank all the great advertisers here. Many of them have been around for several years. In no particular order, Joe applauds Dolman Law Group, Original Hooters, the Tampa Bay family of Ed Morse dealerships, Craters & Freighters of Tampa, Hooters Calendar, C4MH.com and Metcalf Harden, among others.

Have a great day.

It’s off to Hawaii you go! [read more]

The ol’ ball coach, the man who guided the Bucs to their last strong season, a prideful 10-6 in 2010, has made a stunning change. [read more]

Per Rachel Axon of USA Today, Florida State University took what appears to be the easy way out and funneled nearly $1 million to the former FSU student who accused America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, of rape. [read more]

Gerald McCoy and Jameis need help gang-tackling mediocrity

Late last season, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, explained that he abruptly altered his leadership philosophy.

Joe couldn’t let that slide. Joe had to ask what prompted the change. [read more]

Dirk Koetter was hired as Tampa Bay head coach, in part, because Team Glazer wisely knows its Buccaneers are (for now) all about the development of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, aka America’s Punching Bag. [read more]

America’s Quarterback has pull.

The hiring of offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Todd Monken yesterday was curious to Joe.

But the answer lies in a player. [read more]

Joe wept yesterday while watching Demarcus Ware play defensive end for the Broncos.

The man delivered seven hits to Tom Brady and absolutely wreaked havoc en route to Denver belting Brady a record 20 times. [read more]

Is Dirk Koetter now a stat geek? (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

When Dirk Koetter was hired as the 11th Bucs head coach, one thing Joe was happy about was Koetter would make for great stories and refreshing honesty because he is not one to bite his tongue. [read more]

Many solid NFL defensive ends are, at worst, borderline societal crazies.

One thing Joe enjoys about East-West Shrine Game practices held in St. Petersburg is the easy opportunity to talk football with the best talent evaluators, from Packers yoda Ted Thompson to grunt work college scouts. [read more]
