Joe wrote yesterday how Tampa is a finalist to land the Super Bowl in either 2019 or 2020, despite competing against three stadiums that either are brand new or have undergone major renovations recently. (more…)

The magic of “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston, rubbed off on the Lightning. Jameis was in attendance last night.

So as Joe settled in to watch David Letterman’s final show last night (Joe is feeling old. Eddie Van Halen is over 60 and Letterman is retired. Damn.), Joe’s Twitter feed blew up with photos of “America’s Quarterback,’ Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, in a luxury box at the thrilling Lightning overtime win. (more…)

It seems Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat writer Rick Stroud believes Jameis Winston has super powers. (more…)

NFL players have spoken. (more…)

Bill Polian wags a finger at those who believe the Bucs are a complete team.

Yes, the Bucs added a franchise quarterback in the draft, “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston. Yes, the Bucs added a pair of rookie offensive linemen projected to be starters.

Also, the Bucs bought quite few second-tier free agents that not just add depth, but know Lovie Smith’s defense. (more…)

When the Bucs decided to draft “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston, back in 2013 earlier this year, it was reasoned that Jameis would have a chance to succeed due to his weapons. (more…)

A couple of 2015 Buccaneers own a Super Bowl ring, and when one of them talks, it’s always worth listening. (more…)

Bucs kicker Patrick Murray’s job just got more important.

The Bucs will turn to Kadeem Edwards at right guard, if rookie Ali Marpet cannot hack NFL competition early on.

Yes, the Bucs are putting a lot of pressure on “America’s Quarterback,” signal-caller Jameis Winston. Starting a rookie QB, no matter how talented he may be, is always a gamble.

Putting that same rookie behind a shaky offensive line could be the proverbial pulling the pin on a hand grenade. (more…)

The godfather of modern scouting said this was a terrible year to trade away a quality draft pick. (more…)

Davin Joseph talks about Lovie Smith’s job security

There are several ways to blow up a rookie quarterback’s career.

One is to have a sieve for an offensive line. (more…)

Yeah, some folks think Joe is too much into football, eating, sleeping and talking football virtually 24/7. Joe could think of worse things to be consumed by. (more…)

Are the Bucs trying to lure another Super Bowl to Tampa? Per a report late last night, that seems to be the case.

Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald claims Tampa Bay is among four finalists to host either Super Bowl 2019 or 2020. (more…)

It’s Tuesday! So Joe was back in the cage of The Big Dog, Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620.

Plenty of subjects were on the table. (more…)

Is the defense of the Bucs, led by LB Lavonte David, truly a “strength?”

Yes, Joe knows the Bucs defense last year wasn’t always humming. Hell, what was? The team finished 2-14.

Whenever anyone talks Bucs — including Joe — keep whispering to yourself: 2-14. (more…)

The NFL is filled with so many long shot stories. And the more you scrutinize the Bucs roster, the more it seems seventh-round pick, bruising running back/fullback Joey Iosefa, looks like Mason Foster chasing a tight end. (more…)
