Even after looking like he tweaked his hamstring against the Packers today and never quite looking right all game, newcomer Bucs receiver Russell Gage manned up with a late touchdown and finished with encouraging numbers. [read more]
High standards.
So rookie defensive lineman Logan Hall recorded his first NFL sack today. He’d very likely trade that if he had the chance. [read more]
Rookie running back Rachaad White.
The Bucs and other media have sold rookie running back Rachaad White as an explosive talent and a special guy when it comes to his maturity and readiness.
Joe didn’t buy it, because Joe didn’t see it in preseason. And it seems the Bucs now feel the same way. [read more]
Bucs wouldn’t let him play.
This is a bit of a head-scratcher, though it makes sense at the same time. [read more]
“What happened, Tom?”
What the Josh Freeman was that? [read more]
“Aaron, see you in January.”
Another heroic day for our beloved Bucs defense and another mess from the Tampa Bay offense. Or at least a mess when you’re used to the team averaging about 30 points per game through the past three seasons. [read more]

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.

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