As Joe likes to say when folks ask him why he’s not watching a Lightning playoff game or a Rays game when he is Twittering out Bucs nuggets and thoughts, “We live in a football world.” (more…)

Whoa! The Bucs scored another potential toy for Jameis Winston — and a guy who can return punts.

It’s Kaelin Clay out of the University of Utah. (more…)

New Bucs WR Kenny Bell.

Kenny Bell is a damned good college receiver. Nebraska is not known for throwing the ball but in the Bo Pelini era, he opened up the offense more than previous administrations.

The beneficiary was Bell, who left Nebraska with an armful of receiving records including career catches (181) and receiving yards (2,689). He led Nebraska in receiving all four years. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht punked new WR Kenny Bell today.

Jason Licht is a Cornhusker. Folks from Nebraska treat the Nebraska football team like an extension of their immediately family. They bleed Cornhusker red.

The Bucs general manager was once a walk-on for Tom Osborne. So when Licht made the phone call to Cornhuskers wide receiver Kenny Bell to tell him he was now a Buccaneer, Licht decided to pull Bell’s chain a bit this afternoon. (more…)

Joe thinks this Kenny Bell just might have a shot to make the team. The Nebraska receiver is an upgrade over Robert Herron. (more…)

New Bucs WR Kenny Bell.

If new Bucs wide receiver Kenny Bell doesn’t see the field much, he can brag about having the best ‘fro in the NFL.

The Nebraska WR (181 catches in four seasons), a former teammate of Lavonte David, was the Bucs’ fifth round pick this afternoon.

Bell is versatile. He’s quick and he can return kicks. And he has better hands than Robert Herron, that is for sure. (more…)

Rookie Bucs left tackle Donovan Smith

The Buccaneers’ big time draft picks have done some big time talking.

Jameis Winston might have met his match. (more…)

New Bucs LB Kwon Alexander confessed he doesn’t know of Bucs stud Lavonte David.

It seems new Bucs LB Kwon Alexander is going to get one helluva education when he arrives at One Buc Palace to get ready for rookie minicamp next week. (more…)

New rookie Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander

Bucs general manager Jason Licht is to quick call the NFL Scouting Combine the “underwear Olympics,” and he discounts some of what players do at the glorified track meet.

Lovie Smith, however, is happy to say he’s a big Combine guy. (more…)

This Kwon Alexander, the new Bucs fourth-round linebacker, probably will be a special teams ace.

Some NFL analysts compare him to Dakoda Watson (remember him?). Alexander was a good tackler, that is for sure, But in the NFL, one needs more than just being a good tackler to succeed. Cody Grimm was a good tackler, too. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ streak ends at nine — nine consecutive offensive players drafted by the Lovie Smith-Jason Licht regime. (more…)

Don’t think Rounds 4 through Rounds 7 mean much?

Think again. (more…)

Back in February and March, Lovie Smith and high-ranking Bucs officials were talking about being “comfortable” making Jameis Winston the face of the franchise.

That’s changed. (more…)

“A lot of those things aren’t going to happen,” Lovie explained.

One doesn’t normally think of an offensive coordinator when it comes to trench warfare in the NFL.

But Bucs coach Lovie Smith is thinking that will be a big deal this year. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht had a soft spot in his heart for his late-second round pick, G Ali Marpet of Division III Hobart College.

It’s the classic American tale, rags to riches, Rocky winning the heavyweight championship of the world, the Miracle on Ice.

As George Patton famously said, “Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser.” And no one likes winners quite like underdogs. That’s why March Madness is so appealing. Fans enjoy watching little schools take down giants. (more…)

Yes, Joe is having trouble sleeping. The Buccaneers traded up, back into the second round last night, for the rights to draft a Division III offensive guard/tackle named Ali Marpet — while South-Carolina guard A.J. Cann, a stud four-year starter, was available. (more…)

Mark it down. Lovie Smith isn’t waiting for Jameis Winston to change.

He believes in Jameis right now — in every way. (more…)

What could be more fun than new Buccaneers franchise quarterback Jameis Winston having his first on-air sitdown with his old friend, Steve Duemig, aka “The Big Dog” and the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio? (more…)
