All games will be broadcast live in home TV markets this season the NFL announced today.

Bucs fans: NFL warden commissioner Roger Goodell has good news for you.

This season, you can sit in the comfort of your own recliner, in air-conditioning with plenty of your favorite grub and Bud Light at hand’s reach, and no line at the bathroom, and get to watch all of Jameis Winston’s home games. [read more]

The free agency dinner bell rang two weeks ago, and the Bucs have not added an offensive lineman.

They booted one, Anthony Collins, and let another quietly fade away, Oneil Cousins. [read more]

Yes, Joe knows Lovie Smith floated the possibility from the NFL Owners Meetings in Phoenix this weekend that the Bucs could trade down and pass on Jameis Winston, which would make all the knuckledraggers happy and all but kill off Bucs fandom for a generation. [read more]

A guy who covered the Atlanta Falcons last year can’t understand why the Buccaneers haven’t at least intensely engaged former Falcons guard Justin Blalock. [read more]

For the longest time, Joe scoffed at those who suggested the Bucs obtain a running back. Why? There is no need. The Bucs have one of the deepest stables of running backs in the NFL and just used a third-round pick on Charles Sims last year. [read more]

Former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik again issued his plea for the Bucs to select a quarterback No. 1 overall next month.

Conspiracy theorists have had a great time believing NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called The Smoking Man to make sure Jameis Winston doesn’t come to Chicago to attend the 2015 NFL Draft. [read more]

Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion Jameis Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon.

It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback ever to wear No. 5 in the state of Florida. [read more]

Might a Division II returner be the Bucs’ next main man?

One 2014 failure has yet to be addressed.

And yes, Joe considers cutting ghostly and ghastly Michael Johnson to be addressing the defensive end position via a glorious subtraction. [read more]

The Bucs will draft a quarterback on April 30 when the bell rings on the 2015 NFL Draft. Simple as that, to coin one of Lovie Smith’s favorite phrases.

But hold on, Lovie said yesterday. [read more]

From fan feedback Joe received about free agency, there is disappointment because the Bucs didn’t go big-name hunting again. [read more]
