The Bucs have an interesting history when it comes to drafting tight ends.
They stink at it.

Destination: Tampa Bay?
With the free agency dinner bell set to ring in exactly a month, and the NFL world descending upon downtown Indianapolis in two weeks where free agent tire-kickings will begin in earnest, the BSPN crowd is trying to plug in where the top free agents will go. [read more]

“Screw those grouper sandwiches at the beach bars in Tampa Bay, Derek! Hooters wings is what you want. Besides, there is a Hooters at John’s Pass and Clearwater Beach.”
Joe was sort of hoping that with just one year left on his contract and a new coach coming in who may want his own guy, quarterback Derek Carr would be shipped out of the desert. [read more]
Joe expected to see Buccaneers legend Warren Sapp do all kinds of interviews on Radio Row at the Super Bowl like he usually does, certainly an extended sitdown with Rich Eisen. [read more]

Already prepping for 2022.
Nobody would be off base saying Bucs stud linebacker Devin White just had his worst season in the NFL. Yet he still made the Pro Bowl. [read more]

For those unaware, Jay Williams, aka JWill, the former Duke basketball superstar, is a primetime morning co-host on ESPN Radio. [read more]

Supply and demand.
Watching the Super Bowl Sunday night, Joe caught something said by windy NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth that hit home. [read more]

Kyle Trask
Joe often is asked about second-year Bucs quarterback Kyle Trask, who just finished his first season as Tampa Bay’s third-string QB. [read more]

Bucs GM Jason Licht
Will the Bucs keep their old kicker when he’s coming off a down year? [read more]

Influencer wants Gronk on field.
Now Joe likes this attitude from a Bucs’ WAG much better than a (former?) Bucs quarterback’s significant other. [read more]
The annual free agency dinner bell will be more of a bugle call this year for the Bucs. Tampa Bay will be very active before and after fishing formally begins at noon on March 14. [read more]

Free agent Jason Pierre-Paul.
Look, there may not be a guy on the Bucs roster that Joe respects more than Jason Pierre-Paul. In his time with the Bucs, the outside linebacker/pass rusher has demonstrated he’s the ultimate warrior with the heart of a lion. [read more]

Surprising postseason stat.
Joe was going through stats last night and came across something pretty cool. [read more]

The final Tom Brady radio show of the season popped tonight and, of course, Joe was listening on SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio. [read more]
