Sports physician weighs in.

If you trust a guy who used to be an NFL team doctor and has many years of experience getting guys ready to bounce back from all sorts of injuries, this may be comforting information. [read more]

Won’t return this season.

Somehow, someway, Joe recently suggested a player on a rival team unavailable because of injury will help the Bucs, and haters have somehow twisted those words (in their demented, twisted minds) to mean Joe is celebrating dudes getting injured.

In the immortal saying of the late, great Steve Duemig, “BULLS(P)IT!” [read more]

PRESENTED BY

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians.

In the eyes of one national observer, the Bucs had an OK game last Sunday. [read more]

There’s no doubt some people will read this and think Joe is celebrating the announcement that Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID and will not play Sunday at Kansas City. [read more]

Grade-giver.

The report card has arrived in the mailbox. [read more]

Scotty Miller

Though still on injured reserve, wide receiver Scotty Miller and desperately-needed Super Bowl cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting have been cleared for practice.

That means the Bucs have up to three weeks to observe them in practice and decide whether to take them off injured reserve. Murphy-Bunting messed up his elbow in Week 1 and Miller has been out with a bad case of turf toe.

The Bucs’ next game is Nov. 14 at Washington.

New Orleans voodoo.

The fact that Tom Brady facing a Sean Payton-led slimy Saints squad is 2-4 is mindblowing. Brady has success against everyone. [read more]

Tables turned.

Regular listeners of former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi, the former coffee fetcher for Bill Walsh, Al Davis and Bill Belicheat, know how big of a fan he is of Bucs defensive coordinator Todd Bowles. [read more]

A top NFL target.

Cornerback Richard Sherman.

Change appears imminent in the Buccaneers’ secondary. [read more]

The Marshon Lattimore-Mike Evans rivalry reminds Joe of the wars future Hall of Famers Rondé Barber and Steve Smith, the angry former Panthers receiver, had 15 or so years ago. [read more]
