NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger decided to do a sitdown (via satellite) with Bucs multimedia guru Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com for a review of all things Bucs.

Baldinger was one of the few people who predicted the Bucs would select Adrian Clayborn in the first round. He watched some of Clayborn’s games live and in person and came away impressed.

“Tampa Bay needed a defensive end. They only had 26 sacks last year. Defensive end was a glaring need.

“I saw Adrian and Iowa against Wisconsin and against Gabe Carimi, the offensive tackle who went in the first round [to Chicago]. I watched how he prepared himself in pregame warm-ups. I liked him physically. I knew he had a pretty good motor. I just thought he would be a good fit the way Tampa Bay wants to build that defensive front. I thought he would be a good fit and still think he will be a good fit.”

As Joe has stated before, all signs point to Clayborn being a helluva draft pick. He gets it. He understands it. It’s all about football, not the outside nonsense, not the Michelle Tafoya’s of the world who want to talk Clayborn’s mom knitting socks for girl scouts.

Fame, mountains of cash and doors will open for those who succeed. Clayborn knows he needs to succeed first on the field first, and the rest will take care of itself.

Yes, Joe knows there’s a mass of Bucs fans that craves monster money free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha in a Tampa Bay uniform.

Joe doesn’t see that happening or that it’s necessarily in the Bucs’ best interest. However, without knowing all the details of a possible 2011 salary cap, it’s hard to make a fully sound judgement.

NFC South blogger Pat Yasinskas is in love with Asomugha when it comes to the Bucs. And he seems to think that Asomugha could easily be mesmerized into signing here by the seductive general Raheem Morris.

The Bucs have one other card up the sleeve: coach Raheem Morris. Put him and Asomugha in a room, and Asomugha may sign a contract within an hour or two. Morris is charming, charismatic and a former defensive backs coach.

This would be a perfect fit for the player and team.

Now that Joe thinks about it, Raheem probably would be a very successful salesman on the free agency circuit. He’s seems to have all the skills, plus  a fantastic repuation among players. No doubt he helped close the deal on Derrick Ward, Michael Clayton, and Sean Jones, so he does have a little experience.

A hearty congratulations to Shane Vincent of Bradenton! He’s the winner of the Paradise Worldwide Transportation roundtrip limousine ride giveaway to Tropicana Field, courtesy of the great Bucs fans, Rays fans and Lightning fans at Paradise.

You remember that giveaway. Major League Baseball threw a wrench into it, but Paradise is delivering as best it can.

Shane Vincent should call Paradise Worldwide Transportation, (800) 729-4713, as soon as possible to claim his prize.  Imposters should not pretend to be Shane. Paradise is way to smart for those shenanigans.

The Bucs’ spiritual godfather joined the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio yesterday for their weekly chat on WDAE-AM 620.

Derrick Brooks and Steve Duemig kicked around all sorts of topics and, no surprise, callers wanted to pepper Brooks with comments, questions and concerns about popular punching bag Barrett Ruud.

At one point, Brooks told an anti-Ruud caller, “Look I know the defensive calls. Middle linebacker is the least aggressive position in that defense.” Brooks also explained that Ruud is dropping back initially in cover 2 and many blitz packages, essentially saying Ruud does his job.

Oh, there are so many nuances to the raging Ruud debate.

If that’s the least the aggressive position on the defense, then maybe Ruud is properly cast.

So far nothing Adrian Clayborn has said or done that would not make Joe not want to buy his jersey. The guy is learning how to be a stud NFL player at the feet of James Harrison and some Packers vets.

Now comes how locked in Clayborn gets when it comes to football. On Twitter last night — Joe’s going to guess it was a non-basketball association game of some sort — Clayborn was appalled that a player would be subject to a vapid sideline reporter.

interviewing players before the game?? TV is crazy. let that man focus

This really gets Joe pumped up. This tells Joe that whenever Clayborn steps between the white lines, he shuts the world off and is locked in on the task at hand: burying quarterbacks.

Call Clayborn a throwback. Joe can remember working in Chicago 20 years ago and hearing former Bears defensive lineman Ed O’Bradovich go crazy when he used to see defenders celebrate after a two-yard gain by an offense.

“Where’s your mind at?” O’Bradovich used to scream. “Get your head in the game!”

Seems as though Clayborn always has his mind in the game. His football field is his office and its best not to disturb him unless you are wearing a Bucs uniform as well.

Joe just loves that Clayborn loathes the empty Michele Tafoya who is Exhibit-A of the type of sideline reporters who annoy both players and viewers asking about grandma’s kidney stones or what vegetables a player grew in the family’s summer backyard garden.

Stick to the damned game!

Clayborn also later last night mocked basketball players who were moved to wear toothprotectors.

why r all these basketball players wearing mouth guards lol. its basketball. i havent wore one since freshman year in college. ive gone headed to head on the goaline with shonn greene with no mouth piece….rest my case.

Dude’s not just focused, not just learning the NFL ways through this asinine lockout fronted by NFL hatchetman Roger Goodell with Super Bowl-winning vets, but Clayborn comes across as a dude who is tough as nails as well.

Joe’s starting to get a hunch that Clayborn’s going to quickly become a fan favorite. He’s already a favorite of Joe’s.

A lot of Bucs fans were angry if not outraged that, after seemingly courting HBO to be featured on “Hard Knocks,” where HBO would document the team’s each and every move in training camp, the Bucs declined the offer.

For those who were upset by the move, don’t count coffee-slurping, popcorn-shoveling, fried chicken-eating, oatmeal-loving Peter King of Sports Illustrated as an ally.

The long-time NFL scribe Twittered this morning that Team Glazer made a sound decision not to be on HBO this fall.

@gclark3434: If camps happen, you agree Bucs made good decision turning down Hard Knocks?

@SI_PeterKing Yes. Young team could get too full of self.

First, Joe has to compliment King on being able to multitask so well. He Twitters like a mad man whenever he is co-hosting “The Opening Drive” as he did this morning with Ross Tucker, heard exclusively on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

But King makes a valid point. This is a very young team. Let’s get the players a year or two more under their belt, make the playoffs (how’s that for a novel concept?) and then, let the team be featured on “Hard Knocks.”

There are enough distractions with this heinous lockout fronted by NFL hatchetman Roger Goodell. No need to pile on the distractions.

In one of the more bizarre and largely afterthought developments of the Bucs offseason, Raheem Morris fired his old pal offensive line coach Pete Mangurian and the Bucs hired Greg Olson pal Pat Morris to replace him.

Maybe it’s not that strange, except Mangurian obviously did a stout job developing and having ready to play Ted Larsen, Derek Hardman and James Lee, who all started a pile of games. Plus, Mangurian went way back with Raheem.

Office politics aside, when Joe chatted with Lee recently, Joe asked Lee about the difference between Mangurian and near legendary offensive line coach Bill Muir from the Chucky era. Lee played for both, but said there was little if any difference in what they taught, only a radical difference in their demeanor.

“With Bill, man, I think Bill was just a different type of coach, more laid back but very demanding at the same time. He made sure everything you did and everything you represent had to be the right way every time,” Lee said. ” Pete was a great overall coach but on our butt every day, from the smallest to the biggest. He didn’t care who you were or your time in the league, every time had to be right, and he’d get on you, all over you. Most of it was the same coaching techniques between the two.”

Lee went on to say he has had no contact with Pat Morris on any level, even when the lockout was briefly lifted.

It’ll be interesting to see how the offensive linemen respond to their new coach in an extraordinarily competitive environment. If the Bucs don’t re-sign Davin Joseph, every starting position but left tackle could be up for grabs.

"Damnit, I never said I was Mel Kiper. I'm a quarterback guru. Look what I did for Gradkowski!"

The reason why former Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Chucky is watching football games and not coaching the Bucs is simple: His drafts were simply horrid.

Recently USA Today went through the Bucs 2008 draft with Chucky and it is simply frightening to look at. So much so Nate Davis gave Chucky a D+.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: First-round CB Aqib Talib is long on ability but may be short on chances in Tampa; he had off-field issues before he was drafted, and his latest arrest may lead to his release after the lockout. The Bucs took a chance on Appalachian State WR Dexter Jackson in Round 2; he never caught a pass before getting pink-slipped. Fifth-round T/G Jeremy Zuttah has started 30 games while undersized sixth-round LB Geno Hayes managed to lock up the starting weak side job.

Let’s take a quick gander at that draft:

1. Aqib Talib, CB: Troubled.
2. Dexter Jackson, WR: Pppfffttt!
3. Jeremy Zuttah, OG: Not bad, could start on the right side if Davin Joseph is not re-signed.
4. Dre Moore, DT: Pppfffttt! Joe remembers hearing a member of the Bucs press corps claim the Bucs front office was not crying Monte Kiffin left the team because he wouldn’t play Dre Moore. Gee, Joe wonders why?
5. Josh Johnson, QB: Solid “career backup.”
6a. Geno Hayes, LB: Joe loves Geno but let’s be honest, his play has been, well, inconsistent.
6b. traded to Kansas City in 2007 for RB Michael Bennett
7a. traded to Denver in 2007 for QB Jake Plummer
7b. Cory Boyd, RB: Boyd will forever be known as the guy who threw down with Talib at a rookie symposium about finances, a harbinger of things to come.

Any reason why Chucky’s not prowling the sidelines at The CITS?

When someone is hiding, that generally means someone is hiding something.

Call Joe a cynic, but that’s pretty much been his experience as an award-winning journalist. People without something to hide generally don’t hide because they have no reason to hide.

The way Da’Quan Bowers has been kept under wraps by his agent Joe Flanagan, it raises all sorts of red flags with Joe.

Most of the new Bucs are out there to talk with the local pen and mic club. How does Joe know this? Because he’s dealt with many of them through Twitter if not spoken to them personally; cool guys all.

But Bowers is one of the few who — though he has several Twitter posts throughout the day — never responds. Maybe once a week he’ll do something as vapid as retweet a request from a Bucs fan.

(For Twitter newbies, a retweet is basically an acknowledgement that you read one’s Twitter post without responding.)

After numerous attempts, Bowers has not responded to any of Joe’s requests for an interview, not even a “yeah, sure.” Hey, that’s OK with Joe. If the guy doesn’t want to talk, he doesn’t want to talk. This, despite the fact Bowers sure is chatty on Twitter, informing people of his daily routine.

Joe’s not the only one who is getting the cold shoulder from Bowers. Joe knows a prominent local sports radio personality that has tried time and again not only to get Bowers to talk, but just to get Flanagan to talk on the air.

This gentleman in question has had as much luck as Joe.

So yesterday Joe read good guy Stephen Holder’s article about Bowers and his recovery from whatever ails his knee in the St. Petersburg Times. Curiously, Holder, a solid reporter, was unable to get Bowers to talk.

Naturally, Bowers’ agent said everything you’d expect an agent to say before reading one word of Holder’s article: that Bowers is ready to roll for training camp and all the kvetching over his knee is simply hogwash and paranoia.

Again, this is coming from Bowers’ agent. What do you expect an agent to say, that Bowers is a near-cripple and drags his leg like Ygor in Young Frankenstein?

Initially, Joe was ready to use Holder’s feature as an example of how dead it is during this asinine lockout, fronted by NFL hatchetman Roger Goodell and his devious, anti-football, fan-unfriendly tactics.

No, there is something much more afoot than reporters desperate for any morsel of real-football information. Bower’s agent is hiding him, it’s pretty clear. But why?

For example, there’s a reason troubled Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib isn’t talking, except to his lawyer and Texas police authorities for these many months. He could be on the verge of being jettisoned by the Bucs if not sentenced to prison.

Talib has a reason to hide. So just what is the reason Flanagan is hiding Bowers?

Surely it couldn’t be Bowers’ knee. Could it?

Sigh. Since Joe brought up Young Frankenstein, in an effort to start the morning in a little lighter mood, enjoy one of the great comedic scenes in film history from Young Frankenstein.

The same old stuff from Barrett Ruud in 2011 would be a good thing, so says former Bucs tight end Anthony Becht.

Speaking on WHBO-AM 1040 Monday, Becht essentially explained that Ruud’s upside outweighs his downside and that the defensive line limits Ruud’s effectiveness.

“Keeping Barrett Ruud would be a positive thing for them, but he’s not going to be coming downhill with the young defensive line being pushed back. … And people aren’t going to like that, ” Becht said.

So is that what would turn Ruud into a Pro Bowler? A better defensive line?

Of course, the Ruud saga will continue to rage on at least until he signs with a team, and likely a lot longer if that team is the Bucs.

Joe surely has written enough about Ruud’s perceived value, but Joe still hasn’t found anyone who thinks Ruud is as good as he was through much of the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

Football dominates Joe’s life. If he isn’t working on this site he’s watching the real man channel, the NFL Network, or listening to SiriusXM NFL Radio, or he is surfing for football news in the wee hours of the morning in between private moments of pining for that knock on the door from a cold, shivering, drenched Rachel Watson.

It was one of these moments — no, not a Rachel Watson moment — where Joe came up with some cool news.

Twittering at 1 a.m. Joe came across a post from Bucs first round draft pick Adrian Clayborn. He seemed bored from Arizona and was asking if there were any Bucs fans awake on the east coast. So Joe asked him who he was working out with.

Mere moments later, Clayborn responded.

a bunch of vets….james harrison, couple packs, rams guys, alot of guys to name.

So Clayborn is working out with Harrison and a couple of Packers? As Charlie Sheen would say, “Winning!” The fact that Clayborn is working out with Harrison gets Joe totally fired up.

There may not be a better guy for Clayborn to bond with. Harrison was an undrafted free agent with the Steelers and three times he was cut from the Steelers practice squad. But through hard work, sweat and toil, he is now the game’s best outside linebacker, a guy who should be lauded and held up as a standard for all NFL players by the suits in Manhattan.

But no! NFL hatchetman Roger Goodell is doing his very best to tear apart the very fabric of the NFL, a game we have all grown to love, treasure and covet.

Harrison is public enemy No. 1 in Goodell’s eyes. Harrison plays relentless football, physical football, football where men wince when crossing the line of scrimmage, football that quarterbacks have acid reflux over, football that is played through the whistle the way we were all taught to play football. The right way to play football, the correct way to play football.

Football that is America!

But this is just the opposite of what Goodell strives for. It’s almost as if secretly he wants there not to be a 2011 season, that’s the only logical reason for this utter nonsense that he fronts for his employers and this asinine lockout.

Not just that, if Goodell has his sinister way, the NFL will turn into a “game” that only drag queens from New Orleans and Fidel Castro worshippers in Greenwich Village with their dumbarse argyle sweaters, who hang in some low-rent coffeehouse listening to some two-bit, unemployed poet whine about the potato famine, will take a liking to.

If Joe wanted to watch flag football, he’d watch flag football!

Back to Clayborn, just thinking of him working with Harrison, there can be nothing bad coming out of that. Throw in working with some Packers who can bestow upon Clayborn the art of winning playoff games, this is just great stuff.

No, no eastern European hotties for Clayborn. He’s doing man’s work with real men, much to the chagrin of Goodell, who Joe is starting to believe is a wine-sipper.

THE PESSIMIST is a diehard Bucs fan whose negative writings appear occasionally on JoeBucsFan.com. His views surely do not necessarily reflect those of Joe. However, Joe sure gets a kick out of them.

Timeout.

Our beloved Buccaneers ripped a home game from local fans and the stadium they paid to build in the name of marketing the team in England and getting more exposure for the young club. That was the company line.

Yet now, a handful of weeks later, the Bucs have turned down the offer to be on HBO’s Hard Knocks series and captivate the entire United States and legions of casual Bucs fans around Tampa. Those same fans that haven’t watched a Bucs home game on TV since Tampa Bay was clobbered routinely in 2009.

Something stinks worse than the Angelo Crowell signing. (Oh, wait, the Bucs braintrust knows knee injuries).

THE PESSIMIST can’t be the only one sniffing this Hard Knocks pile of garbage. The Bucs went from scratching and clawing for the spotlight, even swimming across the Atlantic, and now they’re running away from it faster than Aqib Talib speed dials his lawyer.

The Bucs may call themselves fan-friendly, but taking away a home game and denying fans access on Hard Knocks aren’t pro-fan moves.

What’s next? Fewer training camp dates open to the public?

THE PESSMIST wants to know exactly what the Bucs were afraid of when it came to Hard Knocks. What does the team so eager for recognition and attention think third-year coach Raheem Morris couldn’t handle?

Of course, THE PESSMIST won’t get an answer, just the comfort of watching a nation of soccer fans tailgate while he can’t.

In between “grunting” with fellow iPhone types and working out at Saddlebrook Resort in Pasco County, Bucs (?) middle linebacker Barrettt Ruud is lost.

He’s supposed to be a free agent. But NFL hatchetman Roger Goodell and his horribly short-sighted employers are hellbent on destroying the NFL as we know it with this lockout nonsense. Have you ever heard of a company that rakes in cash hand over fist actually going to court in order to shut itself down? Can you imagine?

Shoot, Ruud doesn’t even know if the Bucs want him back or not. So like an expatriate is a man without a country, Ruud is a linebacker without a team.

After working out with the Eastern European tennis hotties of the WTA at Saddlebrook — smart move Mr. Ruud, very smart — Ruud took time out to discuss his status with eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.

“I keep hoping something will get done with this lockout,” Ruud said. “There’s been about five times when I thought something was going to get done, but here we are. It’s pretty frustrating. Even if there’s an agreement, nobody knows what’s going to happen with free agency … we could be playing under 2010 rules.”

The way Joe sees it, Ruud will be employed somewhere. He may very well be back with the Bucs in 2011 — provided there is a 2011 season — for a rate less than he expected or he may just go elsewhere such as the New York Giants.

Look, there are plenty of people who need to worry about their futures. There are cancer-ridden souls and those out of a job with no idea how they are going to pay rent much less food for their children. There are people who cannot afford proper healthcare.

Working out with the scantily-attired, spandex-laced Eastern European tennis babes in a plush, gated resort isn’t exactly what Joe would call worrisome.

Joe’s big on technology. Loves it in fact. But Joe has yet to hop on the iPhone tsunami.

One reason Joe has never done the iPhone is that it was until recently an exclusive AT&T product. Joe has Verizon, has had Verizon for many years and is so pleased with Verizon was never moved to switch.

The second reason Joe has not done an iPhone is that Joe loathes touchscreens. Joe needs a keyboard. Until or unless Steve Jobs capitulates and builds a keyboard for his iPhone, Joe will stick with his trusty Blackberry.

(Post intermission: Memo to Blackberry: What the f’ gives? You forced an upgrade to Joe’s Blackberry software and now you take away columns from the internet browser? Ridiculous! Now Joe has to screw around with the zoom feature whenever he has to launch his browser, which is terribly cumbersome. NEVER fix something that’s not broken you flippin’ Canucks.)

So since Joe is so anti-iPhone (for now), it appears Joe won’t get to communicate with Bucs middle linebacker Barrett Ruud.

Per eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune, former Bucs Ryan Nece and Jeb Terry have developed an iPhone app which will allow fans to chat — in “real-time” — to various players who have signed up for this app, which includes Ruud.

“I’m not a Facebook guy or a Twitter guy, but I thought this was a cool idea,” Ruud said. “It’s kind of like leaving voicemails for anyone who wants to listen. During the football season, when fans are really focused, they can get direct feedback from players. It could be a mid-week quote on the upcoming game or a grunt Sunday night about the game that was just played.”

Fans can download the app to their iOS device of choice, pick the players they want to follow and subscribe to the program.

“You’ve got to have a catchy name,” Ruud said of Gridiron Grunts. “At the same time, you don’t want people to think you’re a Neanderthal. I’m OK with ‘grunt,’ because we’re talking about short, quick messages.”

Joe can only imagine the possibilities that fans would have to chat with Ruud, or as Nece’s company calls it, “grunt.”

Shoot, there may not be a more polarizing figure on the Bucs other than perhaps troubled Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib than Ruud. If anything, this device should sure be lively.

Moments ago, the Bucs announced on their official Facebook page that the team has declined the NFL’s overtures to have training camp featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks.

Some of you may have heard that we were approached by the league about the possibility of being this year’s team on “Hard Knocks.” After discussing the idea and carefully considering the opportunity, we have respectfully declined. It was certainly an honor to be considered, and we think it is a good indication of the excitement and national interest that is forming around our team. This year, however, we believe it is in the best interests of the team to keep the focus on the field and what we hope to accomplish in 2011. As we told the league, we would be honored to be considered again in the future; it is always an entertaining and informative show and we look forward to watching whomever takes our spot this year.

Joe agrees with this line of thinking. The Bucs are still a very young team and really don’t need the distractions of having camera crews in their faces every waking moment.

When the team begins to establish itself, and more Bucs personalities begin to emerge, it will make for a better series.

Joe also has a hunch the lockout has in some way played a part in this decision.

Hattip reader Jason Klafter.

Joe swears he hasn’t had a beer or a cocktail in 24 hours, nor has Joe been cruising around with Alex Magee or Jerramy Stevens, so Joe is certain he wasn’t seeing things this morning reading Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback column on SI.com.

In conjunction with the man channel NFL Network series, Top 100 Players of 2011, King is counting down his personal Top-100 and has them matched up alongside a graph of the NFL-player picks in his column. This morning, King published his Nos. 61 through 70, even though NFL Network hasn’t aired those selections yet.

Joe read Kings’s list and saw Davin Joseph at No. 64. (Really. Joe swears). However, the editorial gremlins at Sports Illustrated have since taken down all of King’s selections in the 60s.

Now Joe nearly spilled his coffee seeing Joseph ranked that high.  …Perhaps it was King hanging out with Magee and Stevens.

Joseph is an excellent, injury-prone player, but the Bucs didn’t miss a beat without him in the last five games of 2010 against the Falcons, Lions, Redskins, Seahawks and Saints. And there’s no way he’s in the class of the best 100 players in the league, let alone 26 spots ahead of Josh Freeman, as King ranked him.

Joe wonders what will be there when King unveils his list — again — next Monday.

Joe was in stunned disbelief listening to former Bucs Ryan Nece (2002-2007) and Anthony Becht (’05-’07) interviewing Bucs third-round pick Mason Foster on WHBO-AM 1040 this morning.

Asked what Bucs players he’s been in touch with since being drafted and what plans, if any, he had to come work out with them in Tampa, Foster replied, “I haven’t talked to any players yet.” And Foster very politely went on to say he looked forward to hearing from somebody at some point.

Nobody reached out to the Foster? C’mon. In Joe’s eyes, this is disgraceful.

Nece and Becht were equally horrified and expressed their disbelief after they hung up the phone with Foster.

“Who on the Bucs defense is going to make that phone call?” Nece asked rhetorically. “That’s a problem. … I’ve got his number. They can call me to get it.”

“Somebody has to be a leader on that defense,” Becht said. “Somebody has to reach out.”

An oversight by captains Ronde Barber, Josh Freeman and activist Jeff Faine? Or simply evidence that all team leaders aren’t too on the ball? Regardless,  it stinks.

In case any of the Bucs care, Foster said he’s been training regularly on the University of Washington campus with fellow Huskies Jake Locker and Nate Williams.

Unfortunately, the long arms of Major League Baseball and the Tampa Bay Rays have reached out to crack down on the great Rays fans at Paradise Worldwide Transportation.

You see, Paradise Worldwide Transportation launched a little promotion on Facebook to give away a roundtrip limo ride to the May 28 Rays game, plus four free Rays tickets and four Rays hats. All you had to do was “Like” their page, and they were going to randomly pick a winner from their Facebook “Likes.”

Pretty simple. And very harmless. Paradise bought the Rays tickets.

But Major League Baseball slapped Paradise with fancy legal paperwork demanding the promotion cease immediately. Apparently, only approved partners of MLB and the team can give away or sell tickets.

Remember, Paradise is the same company that – for no profit – runs the No Excuses Tour that has delivered nearly 200 fans to Tropicana Field from Tampa for only $9.95 on a chauffeured luxury bus.

Also, Paradise was a Rays luxury suite holder in 2008, 2009 and 2010. How dare they threaten the success of MLB and the Rays by giving away four tickets!!

Paradise is complying and no longer giving away the free Rays tickets. However, the limo ride giveaway remains in effect. The winner will be announced in a matter of hours. So you can still Like their page now.

What a shame.
