Falcons react

There was a whole lot of quit on the Dixie Chicks defense in the signature play of last week’s game, a 20-yard scramble for a first down by America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

Simple as that

Renowned Tampa Tribune sports columnist/humorist Martin Fennelly pounded the pavement and the Bucs’ locker room this week trying to figure out exactly what happened the last time Tampa Bay hosted the Saints — and lost the game but won the Chase For Jameis. (more…)

Jameis struggles against the blitz.

All week long since he ran Sunday for 20 yards and a first down that not only saved the Bucs’ game against the Dixie Chicks but perhaps the season, the hosannas for America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, are coming from all corners. (more…)

So Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul plays with half a hand, and All-World defensive lineman J.J. Watt breaks his hand Sunday but declares yesterday that he’ll play this weekend. (more…)

Yes, Joe was on ESPN Tallahassee radio yesterday talking Bucs with Jeff Cameron, he of “The Jeff Cameron Show.”

Joe has long been a fan of Cameron, a St. Pete native who puts together damned good radio. (more…)

“Jiminy Christmas, Lovie! Fans want their coach freaking out on the sidelines like Curly Howard. Cussing was my best skill.”

Joe always gets a kick out of fans who want to punch a wall because Lovie Smith is stoic during games, often deep in thought. In control. (more…)

Lovie Smith tries to calm fans’ fears over Lavonte David’s ankle injury.

Bucs fans have every right to chew their fingernails at the news that stud linebacker Lavonte David did not practice Thursday.

David injured an ankle in practice Wednesday and has been limited since. (more…)

Your Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ drive for a Wild Card berth got clearer and easier last night. (more…)

There’s something quite poetic and ironic about the man who has been terrorizing and tantalizing Bucs fans this season. (more…)

“I might have another ring if I had a quarterback like Jameis. Bruce Allen blew it for me!”

There may be nothing that Chucky likes more than quarterbacks. Dude is obsessed with quarterbacks. (more…)

Bucs legend Derrick Brooks also tells fans not to be “naïve.”

You want real talk about Tampa Bay linebackers? Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks might be your man. (more…)

Comedy is key on the Bucs’ O-line

Joe has been busy compiling clues that explain the renaissance of the Buccaneers’ offensive line. (more…)

“Dirk Koetter is almost as good of an offensive coordinator as I am. Jiminy Christmas!”

Very interesting take Joe just heard from Chucky, the lone Bucs head coach to hoist a Vince Lombardi Trophy aloft in victory. (more…)

Derrick Brooks weighs in

Buccaneers godfather Derrick Brooks is no fan of how rookie linebacker Kwon Alexander’s four-game suspension is being handled. (more…)

Says Falcons gave up

Sunday’s now legendary 3rd-and-19 run by America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, had a lot to do with the pure quit in the Falcons.

Joe’s written about that, but it’s much more fun to hear it from Gerald McCoy. (more…)

Steve Duemig

It was that time again, Joe’s weekly visit to the steel cage of the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620. (more…)

Lovie talks middle linebacker. A little.

Bucs fans have to face the ugly fact: Kwon Alexander is gone.

The studly rookie starting middle linebacker will not play again this year, unless of course the Bucs make the playoffs. (more…)
