Start memorizing!!!

Another visit to Indianapolis.

The Bucs technically have nine home games this season (one in Germany) so that means two of their three preseason games will be on the road. [read more]

Please get healthy, soon.

The ballpark guesstimate for star receiver Chris Godwin’s rehab was thought to be a return in October. Rumors from a former Bucs player with reliable contacts at One Buc Palace had a much darker return date. [read more]

Another Aaron Rodgers pick-6?

What a fun opening schedule! [read more]

Our beloved Buccaneers are starting the season as road warriors. [read more]

Bucs rookie cornerback Zyon McCollum

After hearing an in-depth interview this week, Joe now understands why the Bucs traded up to draft speedster rookie ballhawk cornerback Zyon McCollum out of Sam Houston State. [read more]

Bucs OL Luke Goedeke

A main reason the Bucs liked Central Michigan offensive lineman Luke Goedeke, aside from the fact he can block, is that the second-round draft pick was Ryan Jensen-like ornery in college. [read more]

Dealing with retirement distractions.

Fascinating insight from a man who has a pipeline into the inner workings of One Buc Palace. And that man is closet Bucs fan Peter Schrager of NFL Network. [read more]

Tough talk on Mike Evans.

A painful Mike Evans take was delivered by a big-name former Buccaneer, and once Joe got past the sting, a little research gave Joe pause. [read more]

A lot of Bucs fans toss and turn at night wondering who will win the Tampa Bay starting left guard job for opening day.

More schedule leaks are flowing, and this one is from a very reputable source. Nola.com, the online arm of New Orleans’ top newspaper, has published a complete Saints schedule.

It shows the Bucs at the slimy Saints in Week 2 on Sunday, Sept. 18.

Then the Saints will travel to Tampa for a Week 13 clash at The Licht House on Monday, Dec. 5.

The Bucs better win that Week 2 clash and end the Saints’ ridiculous hex — and wipe the grin off Jameis Winston’s face.

Early focus.

So Joe once again must give props for the snooping by Kevin O’Donnell of WTVT-TV Channel 13. He scoured the Bucs’ OTA photos on Buccaneers.com to find a photo of quarterback Tom Brady participating before Joe did.

Rojo’s return!

The schedule leaks are flowing, and this one comes directly from the source, NBC Sports.

They’ll be broadcasting the Chiefs at the Buccaneers in Week 4 on Sunday Night Football. The date is Oct. 2.

It’ll be Ronald Jones’ homecoming, and a nice reminder to Kansas City of how it got its ass beaten by the Bucs in Super Bowl 55.

Even Tom Brady had his price.

Joe has been monitoring the coverage of Tom Brady signing — as Kyle Brandt of NFL Network put it — a contract with FOX that includes “Space Invaders money,” and Joe is just fascinated by the reactions. [read more]

A day for fans.

Merry May Christmas! What a glorious day it is. [read more]
