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…)

“When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.”

Lovie Smith might not have been bluffing when he claimed Da’Quan Bowers did some good things last year, including showing he could be an effective defensive tackle. (more…)

The Buccaneers gagged away leads last season left and right. Bucs officials publicly cite those close games and fourth-quarter leads as reasons for optimism. (Really, they do.)

So Joe decided to play stat geek and look at how new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter fared in the fourth quarter last year. (more…)

Shameful statistic on Bucs offense.

You want to find something to be enraged about?

You want to find a way to justify throwing a beer bottle at a smartarse bartender without invoking the name “Myron Lewis?” Well, keep reading. (more…)

Bucs OLB Danny Lansanah will not fade without a fight.

Training camp is just over two weeks away. Joe can smell the cheerleaders’ sweat and is beginning to feel the heat of the practice fields at One Buc Palace.

As a way of sorts to get folks pumped up for training camp, Buccaneers.com multimedia maven Scott Smith has a list of four predictions. (more…)

Key to a franchise turnaround?

Bucs fans are more hungry for a winning season than a starving dog that hasn’t been fed all day.

The losing and the losing and the losing and the losing has gnawed at fans so much, many will be content with another losing season so long as there is progress. (more…)

Gerald McCoy either wants a career as the next Tony Robbins, or he’s sending backhanded messages to his teammates on Instagram. (more…)

Back in 2009, the Bucs (3-13) lost four games by seven points or less and responded with a thrilling 10-win season in 2010.

Back in 2006, Tampa Bay (4-12) lost three games by seven points or less and took home the NFC South crown in ’07. (more…)

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 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…)

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…)
