Beautiful day on the practice fields of One Buc Palace today.

“I quit,” Joe Cool told her from the booth during Super Bowl XXX. “‘I’m out of here. I can’t do this.”

Tom Brady thinks he can. [read more]

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Bucs fans hoping for another successful Super Bowl run are eager and anxious for the season to start. Eager because the Bucs are the toast of the NFL. Anxious because they wonder if the Bucs are a player or two short of a complete team. [read more]
