Lots Of Tickets Under $200 For Bucs-Packers

September 25th, 2022

The market is loaded with tickets under $200 for today’s Bucs-Packers game, the home-opener at The Licht House.

Of course, it’s a lot cheaper and potentially more satisfying to enjoy the game at your local Hooters or Big Storm Brewery taproom.

Joe is seeing verified resale tickets at Ticketmaster for under $150 and others at StubHub for around $165. Everywhere is “plus fees,” of course.

Hopefully, prices will continue to fall before gametime and yearning Bucs fans will be able to find a seat for $100.

“I’m Taking The Bucs’ D In This One”

September 24th, 2022

Picking winners.

This one is a little ironic considering the Packers’ defense is led by coordinator Joe Barry and his no-blitz, Tampa-2 style defense.

September 24th, 2022

“Scooter, just squeeze the damn ball.”

A former Bucs receiver spoke about how Tom Brady probably got in the face of Scotty Miller this week and told him he had to play through physical coverage and succeed at all costs, whether the ball is low or high or wherever. [read more]

Cole Beasley Added To The Active Roster

September 24th, 2022

That didn’t take long.

Signed to the practice squad early this week, 10-year veteran receiver Cole Beasley was promoted to the active roster today.

That doesn’t mean Beasley will play Sunday against the Packers. But Joe sure wouldn’t bet against it.

The Bucs could use the spark. And Joe’s fantasy life just improved thinking about Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones, Russell Gage and Beasley all being healthy one day at the same time.

Comment closed because it turned into a COVID conversation.

BY IRA KAUFMAN

During their two years together in Nashville, Mike Vrabel considered Logan Ryan a pain in the neck.

In a good way.

Ryan would routinely walk into Vrabel’s office and question the defensive schemes of Tennessee’s head coach. It didn’t take long for Vrabel to realize the range of Ryan’s football intelligence, so he learned to take those visits in stride.

Now, it’s Todd Bowles’ turn. [read more]
