Lovie Smith talks about universal trust in a possible Jameis Winston selection
So who is against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafting Jameis Winston?
Per Lovie Smith, these anti-Winston types are not among the hundreds employed at One Buc Palace. [read more]
“Lovie loves you, my son.”
Joe’s always eager to deliver happy thoughts to the Mike Glennon Mob.
Joe realizes that crowd is on life support. [read more]
The return game, like most of the team, was messy last season.
True, it is hard to find solid position groups when a team finishes 2-14. Special teams for the Bucs was a big reason why. Specifically, the return game.
Yet again, the Bucs went dumpster diving for return guys, and got the expected results. It was a turnstile of ineffective return men. [read more]
The way the Bucs have swung and missed obtaining defensive ends the past decade — and letting the only decent one walk away for no good reason — is bordering on the ridiculous.
It’s almost like the campy “Batman” TV series from the 1960s, when an evil villain appears twice a month to take over Gotham, yet is foiled time and again by Batman and Robin. [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.

Man, Joe sure will have a great dinner today at Pete & Shorty’s in Clearwater. Check out the menu.
Tuesday won’t reveal any hidden message
Bucs fans are buzzing on Twitter today about Gil Brandt’s report claiming Marcus Mariota will have a private workout with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Hey, that’s the same day Jameis Winston will have his pro day at Florida State University. What gives? [read more]
Bucs tackle Kevin Pamphile
Previously, Joe has referred to the Bucs’ 2014 fifth-round draft picks, offensive linemen Kevin Pamphile and Kadeem Edwards, as “milk cartons.”
That’s not kind, and it may be a little unfair. But hey, fans were looking for Pamphile and Edwards — and still are — to show signs of life. [read more]
Lovie Smith talked to Joe
The Bucs seem desperate for a nasty defensive end, after coming up empty in pursuit of Trent Cole and Greg Hardy in free agency.
This year’s draft class allegedly is rich with DEs. So, of course, Joe asked Lovie Smith about it at the NFL Owners Meetings in Phoenix last week. [read more]
For reasons Joe doesn’t quite understand, All-Pro Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is suddenly making noise because he doesn’t want to uproot his family in the expected San Diego franchise relocation to Lipstick City.
Well, if Rivers is traded, wouldn’t he have to uproot his family anyway? Perhaps to lesser places to live? Los Angeles may not be Shangri-La, but it sure beats living in, say, Chicago. So Joe is dubious of the Bucs ever getting Rivers. [read more]
Change on the way?
Joe believes the Bucs have perhaps one of the deepest stables of running backs in the NFL. And the way running backs get beaten to death, that’s a good thing. [read more]
A prominent national NFL voice and former personnel executive projects the Buccaneers will trade down and still draft Jameis Winston. [read more]
Bucs fans freak out about the offensive line, desperately latching on to any familiar name to be a plug-and-pray solution to the sieve. [read more]
Led by Vincent Jackson, along with Mike Evans, the Bucs have a damned good pair of starting receivers. After that, there’s a drop off.
One could make a helluva argument that the Bucs have one of the best one-two punches at wide receiver in the NFC. Not the best, that belongs to the Packers with Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, and Detroit is better with Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate. [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.

How nice of former Bucs secondary coach and Chiefs and Jets head coach Herm Edwards to invite Joe to the BSPN studio set at the NFL Owners Meetings this week.
What a gesture. [read more]
