Mike Evans has an interesting perspective. Two of his last three quarterbacks won the Heisman Trophy.

Johnny Football captivated the nation with Houdini acts and the ability to put a football team square on his back and carry it to success not experienced in decades. (more…)

Ugly prediction for “America’s Quarterback.”

A lot of folks are bragging about how the Bucs have weapons for “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.

Sure, he has Vincent Jackson and Randy Moss-tutored Mike Evans as his one-two punch at wide receiver, perhaps the best duo in the NFL. (more…)

Bucs GM speaks.

When the Bucs rejected the fifth-year option on Doug Martin’s contract last month, it sure seemed as if the clock began ticking for Martin’s exit. The pride of Boise State will be a free agent after the season. (more…)

Remember when Joe had the “Blackout Tour,” hauling busloads of Bucs fans from St. Pete to Fort Myers to watch Bucs games blacked out on local television?

Well, it seems Joe has inspired the Bucs. (more…)

Joe’s been studying Jameis Winston closely since attending his first college game in Pittsburgh, long before he was “America’s Quarterback.” (more…)

Offseason winner?

Joe thought Doug Martin’s offseason was nearly as bad as his last two seasons.

Dinged up with injuries, Martin hasn’t rushed for 1,000 yards combined the past two years. (more…)

When Joe saw Jameis Winston’s first two passes against the Bucs’ first-team defense in practice on Wednesday, they didn’t just remind Joe that Jameis is a rookie, they were reminders that the Tampa Bay defense is out of excuses. (more…)

Makes All-NFC South offense, per NFL.com.

Demar Dotson is an OK right tackle. Joe has maintained that for the past year or so.

He’s not Dan Dierdorf but he sure as hell isn’t the walking face-to-the-head penalty known as Kenyatta Walker. (more…)

Alleged incident with a woman in Vegas

For reasons unknown, former Bucs great Warren Sapp has built an ugly reputation for incidents with women in recent years. If TMZSports.com is to be believed, that nasty pattern continues. (more…)

Joe’s not a big believer in coincidences, so it was noteworthy when a dozen Buccaneers grabbed a microphone this week and only two shared the same take. (more…)

Deemed the worst of the worst

Last year’s offensive line was a pile of mule dung that sat in the sun too long on the street outside a cheap French Quarter brothel. (more…)

For a first-year right guard at 24 years old, Patrick Omameh sure absorbed a stiff lesson after 16 starts for Tampa Bay last year. (more…)

Well, finally, the butterfly escaped the cocoon.

Around the Tampa Bay area, specifically at One Buc Palace, “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, has been mostly quiet and quite respectful when talking to the fourth estate. (more…)

Division elite, says NFL.com.

Joe has to qualify the following lest readers think otherwise: Joe never ever takes a day off. Doesn’t for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Easter or Arbor Day. So, unlike the NFL, Joe does not go into a six-week slumber each summer.

(more…)

School sucks when you have an unqualified teacher, and especially when it’s a substitute that rides out most of the year. (more…)

How could Joe chat with Bucs rookie left tackle Donovan Smith the other day and not ask whether barbecue-yearning Logan Mankins, the crowned leader of the offensive line, was coordinating off-hours bonding sessions. (more…)

Spreadsheet types at One Buc Palace are all amped up by the numbers of Jameis Winston jerseys being gobbled up. (more…)

Dirk Koetter talks tech

Veteran offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter isn’t scared of technology. And per FOX Sports, Koetter is insisting the Bucs purchase some ASAP to help Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback. (more…)

Helped out Mike Evans.

People squealed like gutted hogs to not draft a gifted player like “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. Joe remembers the same intensity of wailing and moaning when Randy Moss came out of Marshall.

Joe vividly recalls then-Bucs coach Father Dungy bragging that Moss was off his draft board. (more…)

“I need you, bro. I want to be able to walk when I am 30.”

Joe never takes a day off but the NFL does, as slumber time has arrived.

You can bet, and Joe will be in the middle of it, that a popular theme of training camp and preseason won’t be how “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, develops, it will be if he can stand upright. (more…)

Yes, “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, is a helluva athlete. In case you were not aware, he was a top closer in college baseball last spring and possessed a 95 mph fastball. Impressive.

Apparently, Jameis can bowl, too. (more…)
