If Bucs LG Logan Mankins can’t go Sunday, Lovie Smith isn’t worried.

Joe thought prior to the Jags game that Logan Mankins being out was really bad news.

That meant the Bucs were playing with three backups (including Joe Hawley at center and Gosder Cherilus at right tackle) to go with two rookies. (more…)

“Simple as that, Jay.”

Some football numbers lie, but you can’t argue points.

The Bucs allow a whopping 29.6 points per game. The Redskins (2-4) have scored just three points in the third quarter all season. And the Bucs haven’t scored a first-quarter touchdown. (more…)

Gerald McCoy had to pay off a wager he lost yesterday.

Gerald McCoy had to pay off a wager he lost yesterday.

Last week, Joe brought word that other than making six-figures (or more) a year, when it comes to college football, Bucs players are just like you and Joe.

They sit in bars, cheer on favorite teams, and loudly get into arguments about the best team in the land. (more…)

Mike Evans is busting his tail, said a respected teammate.

Joe already has written that the Mike Evans slump has some fans nervously murmuring the name “Michael Clayton.”

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson and the man he claims is the team’s new leader.

Joe thinks chatter about “leaders” in NFL locker rooms is so Harry High School it isn’t even funny. We’re talking pros, here.

In particular, folks wax about who the leaders of the Bucs were last year. Really? Leader(s) of a 2-14 team? What, is this some sort of Don Rickles’ one-liner? (more…)

Mankins Practices; Leery Of Pamphile?
