A new report says the Buccaneers’ dance with elite pass rusher has ended without a kiss. [read more]

You can read Gerald McCoy’s enthusiastic and cryptic Tweet here.

Joe’s assuming it is connected to the Buccaneers’ courting of bad boy defensive end Greg Hardy. Or, knowing McCoy, it could be the upcoming release of a new comic book. Joe would wager on the former.

Demar Dotson is an almost average starting right tackle. At left tackle, he’s a project, almost a fantasy because he’ll turn 30 years old this year.

So that leaves the Bucs with developmental second-year man Kevin Pamphile at left tackle, and a whole lot of fingers crossed. [read more]

Joe’s not trying to pour warm beer on the chances of manbeast defensive end Greg Hardy wearing Tampa Bay colors this season, but Bucs fans need a dose of reality amidst the euphoria of their fantasy chase for sacks. [read more]

Gerald McCoy is sick and damned tired of losing, so he told the world this month.

A shower and a MRSA-like hazmat decontamination was needed after listening to Michael Johnson’s recent news conference with his new/old team, the Cincinnati Bengals.

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.

What now seems like a generation ago, the Bucs were a top franchise in the game.

A team with a ferocious defense, one of the best in NFL history, suffocated opponents before sold out crowds at what now is referred to as the Den of Depression, where the Bucs haven’t won a home game since 2013. [read more]

Bucs fans pining for former Stinking Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy better slug down some coffee before reading the following. That way, they can’t use the excuse they were half-asleep while reading. [read more]

The JoeBucsFan Hour was back again this evening in its usual time slot, 5 p.m. Tuesday, with the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig, on WDAE-AM 620.

There was plenty of disagreement and mayhem. [read more]

Joe understands why about 15 percent of Bucs fans think Tampa Bay shouldn’t touch an alleged shady character guy like manbeast, free-agent defensive end Greg Hardy.

Bad dude, so move on, these fans say. [read more]

Former Bucs QB, “The Throwin’ Samoan,” Jack Thompson, offers his take on who the Bucs should select at No. 1.

Few things give Joe the shakes — outside of the thought of an alcohol-free society — more than hearing or reading the name “Jack Thompson.”

Joe has nothing against the former Bucs quarterback, aside from the fact he is the tipping point of a once-proud Bucs team turning into a decade-long NFL laughing stock. [read more]

Yes Bucs fans, apparently the braintrust at One Buc Palace has heard your pleas.

It appears the Bucs have launched talks with free agent defensive end Greg Hardy and the monster quarterback wrecker is on his way to Tampa Bay to talk turkey in person. [read more]

Miami linebacker Denzel Perryman is a helluva linebacker against the rush. Defending the pass? Not so much.

Now that expensive free agent season is nearly behind us, sans where defensive end Greg Hardy will land, it’s time for Joe to focus more on the draft. And, yes, the draft is a long six weeks away from Thursday, when the Bucs pick Jameis Winston first.

If it isn’t obvious to Bucs fans yet, Mason Foster is gone. [read more]
