A major sports media outlet is calling out the Bucs and nearly pounding on a table for a league investigation.

Joe finds this downright ludicrous. (more…)

Johnthan Banks sees improvement in Year 2 of Lovie.

Yes, the Bucs defense was sorry last year. The culmination was the curb stomping in Atlanta before the eyes of the nation, no less. Cute. (more…)

“You got me 15th, Joe? You’re out of your freakin’ skull, man.”

It’s the countdown feature you’ve all been waiting for. Not really, but on the heels of last year’s award-winning “20 Worst Buccaneers Of The Past 10 years” feature, Joe had to deliver.

A list like this is highly subjective and toxic. Fits of rage were common during production meetings at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. Scared interns soiled their pants. Full beer bottles were smashed, and a treasured Rachel Watson poster was accidently destroyed. But order was restored.

Current and former general managers and head coaches might not like what’s coming, but it had to be done. This is what happens when your team is 30-70 in its last 100 games. (more…)

It is pretty obvious that when discussing the best defensive tackles in a 43-defense, the list is short. It is Ndamukong Suh, Geno Atkins and Gerald McCoy, not necessarily in that order. (more…)

While there are plenty of high hopes around Tampa for fifth-round rookie WR Kenny Bell, one national observer thinks the Bucs got better value in Round 6. (more…)

A great video surfaced last week of a current and former Buccaneer soaking up hands-on coaching from a Hall of Famer. (more…)

Evan Smith discusses Jameis, without mentioning Jameis.

Joe has had fun poking center Evan (nee: Dietrich-) Smith for how he refuses to acknowledge by name the guy who just may save his Tampa Bay career, “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

Bucs fans will sleep better tonight knowing this fresh piece of news. (more…)

“Jiminy Christmas, I love Hooters, man! Love’em!”

What is a better combination than Bucs football and Hooters?

Joe can’t think of any and pardon Joe while he gets a bit nostalgic for good football and good chicken wings (and lovely lasses in form-fitting orange shorts). (more…)

Bobby Rainey was an easy tackle for defenders, claim the spreadsheeters. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com)

Yesterday, Joe brought word (and disgust) about why Bobby Rainey was shelved last season amid a plethora of head-scratching, vodka-chugging decisions that resulted in one of the worst seasons in Bucs football history.

But as much as Rainey should have had more snaps, Joe’s not about to pretend Rainey was another Walter Payton. (more…)

After a $600, February threesome with hookers got Warren Sapp arrested, followed by charges of domestic violence, and looming jail time for a probation violation, the Bucs icon appeared to hit rock bottom. (more…)

How much time?

There has been rancor amid untold beers at JoeBucsFan.com headquarters, and it’s not about the dipstick who trashed a treasured Rachel Watson poster. (more…)

How fitting that the Florida home of Mickey Mouse and fantasy, where legions of soccer-crazed lunatics run around in purple shirts screaming, “Kaka,” will play host to what might be the most important legal proceedings in Buccaneers history. (more…)

Chances of starting examined.

Sure, Joe is all about competition. Until there is no competition.

That’s what is happening in the case of quarterback of the past and quarterback of the future and perhaps quarterback of the present, Mike Glennon, and “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

Few running backs were able to turn catches into first downs as well as Bobby Rainey did last year.

Good grief, all the wacko things that happened to the Bucs last year, Joe can’t count them all.

Turnover-prone Josh McClown, Ghost Johnson, Anthony Collins… and that is just the guys the Bucs signed. That’s not counting the guys they ran off who were productive with other teams. (more…)

Jameis is talking — and acting — like a leader.

Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, likes to talk about urgency. And Jameis is walking the walk. (more…)

Yes, there are thousands of deranged, bored Bucs fans hanging on the happenings of today’s annual NFL Supplemental Draft.

But Joe, the Bucs might draft the next Dan Sileo, their supplemental pick in 1987. (more…)

Alterraun Verner explains

Only Buccaneers players know what man leads the team when it comes to work ethic and effort.

It’s a subjective take, but one worth sharing when it comes from the mouth of a player on national television. (more…)

Top 25.

Joe has consistently written that if there are NFL teams with a better one-two punch at wide receiver, if there are teams ahead of the Bucs on such a list, that list is damn short. (more…)
