“You know why I left, brother.”

This put a smile on Joe’s face early this morning. [read more]

Big fan of Bucs receivers.

Of course, last week when new Bucs receiver Russell Gage spoke about signing his new contract, he was over the moon about getting a chance to catch passes from the greatest, Tom Brady. [read more]

The latest.

Uh, oh. [read more]

Free agent OLB Za’Darius Smith.

So yesterday when Joe read that handsy Jerry Jones is “interested” in Bucs free agent Jason Pierre-Paul, it got Joe thinking while watching college hoops all day and night long. [read more]

Confused.

So NFL Network stats queen Cynthia Frelund, who seems to be offering more opinions on the network rather than just rattling off numbers from her Excel software, decided to type a piece for NFL.com on the three best fits and three biggest headscratchers of the first week of free agency. [read more]

Bucs CB Carlton Davis

Bucs safety Logan Ryan.

If you believe the Bucs’ recent move to force new season ticket buyers to purchase two years’ worth of tickets or none at all is a direct signal that Tom Brady will not play another season in Tampa Bay, then the Bucs are clearly in a win-now mode. [read more]

Steady.

So Joe was texting with a fellow Bucs fan while watching the NCAA tournament the other night — boy, did Joe soak in a lot of college hoops on his leather couch — and Joe mentioned that newly signed Russell Gage brings good Chris Godwin insurance because he can play the slot. [read more]

Reliable.

Joe could have sworn that Chris Godwin was setting himself up for a monster payday next year. It’s called betting on yourself. [read more]
