Mauling and balling

Reliever? Or in need of relief?

How bout that Patrick Omameh! The guy started 16 games for the Bucs at right guard last season and couldn’t even make the damn roster this year.

Kwon Alexander and the Bucs defense has done a solid job of limiting rushing touchdowns.

Kwon Alexander and the Bucs’ defense has done a solid job limiting rushing touchdowns.

Jameis, Martin Win NFL Honors

Thursday, November 26th, 2015
More honors.

More honors.

How monster of a win was that seal-clubbing the Bucs handed out to the Eagles?

Well, it may not look so great now that the Lions have all but run Chip Kelly out of Philadelphia (Joe is pretty sure Kelly will need armed guards just to get home tonight). (more…)

“He’s Going To Be Somebody”

Thursday, November 26th, 2015
Lofty words for Jameis.

Lofty words for Jameis.
