“Let’s go, Bruce!”

Be still Joe’s heart. We now know who and when the Bucs will play in those worthless preseason games. [read more]

Fighter for footballs.

Very abbreviated practice today in the final day of minicamp. So sadly, Joe’s report is short as well. Remember: this is underwear football. Think flag football without the flags. No hitting of any sort. [read more]

Developed masterplan scheme?

“Dang Tom, I might have to try some of those avocado tequila shots.”

They seem to come from fully different universes.

Joe’s talking about Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians and park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking, tequila-shooting, smartphone-phobic, waffle-grilling, trophy-throwing, roller-coaster-scared, numbers-rules-peeved, Bucs-Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady.

With so few games compared to other sports, football may be the most overanalyzed team sport in the world. [read more]

Another strong practice.

So Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians lauded his team’s practice today. Said he was impressed by how smooth the offense is humming for a minicamp practice. Joe can tell you while the defense didn’t have many splash plays, the defense had a strong outing. As always, keep in mind this is underwear football. No pads. No hitting of any sort. Dudes practicing in shorts and practice jerseys. It is flag football without the flags. Would-be tacklers on the (very few) run plays called actually jump out of the way. The notes below are observations, not indictments. Lastly, please remember it is June 9. Kickoff of the Dallas game is three months from tonight. [read more]
