“Hey Lavonte, it took me a few years but I think I figured out your poker face.”

Bucs fans were sweating right down to the last moment when Bucs icon Lavonte David decided to return for the 2025 season. So what were Bucs coaches thinking? (more…)

Impact.

Joe didn’t know the drought was this short. Seemed like it began a decade ago. (more…)

Sage of Tampa Bay Sports Ira Kaufman likes to say one thing in particular about the 2025 edition of Baker Mayfield. (more…)

Haason Reddick.

When new Bucs edge rusher (thank you, God!) Haason Reddick took a couple of brisk steps toward the podium at the media studio inside One Buc Palace this morning, he greeted reporters and wore a smile. (more…)

Source?

It appears that Bucs AC/DC-loving Bucs general manager Jason Licht has it on good authority the Bucs signed a receiver today. (more…)

So new Bucs beastly (hopefully) edge rusher Haason Reddick met with Joe and other local media at One Buc Palace today and made a few things very clear. (more…)

Limited risk.

When Joe first saw the note from BSPN’s Adam Schefter that the Bucs and edge rusher Haason Reddick agreed to terms, Joe started thinking it was a weird Twilight Zone dinosaurs-in-Manhattan hallucination. (more…)

Defending NFC South QBs.

Later today, the Bucs are supposed to trot out new edge rusher Hasson Reddick for the local pen and mic club. Joe probably still won’t believe the Bucs got an edge rusher until actually seeing Reddick on a football field. (more…)

Free agent CB Stephon Gilmore.

Yeah, Joe knows the Bucs signed a Lions cornerback yesterday. (more…)

Gone.

The Bucs lost a guy Joe hoped they would keep. A couple of hours later, the Bucs apparently found his replacement. (more…)

The mystery surrounding Chris Godwin’s recovery from a gruesome dislocated ankle caught a ray of sunshine on national radio. (more…)

Evaluations of Todd Bowles vary quite a bit. Is he a good head coach? (more…)

Infamous Lions cornerback is now a Buccaneer.

The Bucs have locked down a five-year veteran cornerback with experience in big games, not all of it good. (more…)

Plays to win.

For Chris Godwin, there is a reason he puts himself through so much blood, sweat and toil to be a top NFL professional. (more…)

Buccaneers GM Jason Licht.

So one could argue Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Baker Mayfield will play this season for a combined $40 million under market value.

Jason Licht doesn’t even have compromising photos of these guys. (more…)

Gone.

Don’t see this very often. At about the same time, the Bucs lost a linebacker to Miami but the Bucs signed a linebacker from Miami. (more…)

Don’t forget about Bucs players.

If the Bucs offense has another top-five finish after the 2025 season, would it surprise you if Josh Grizzard is a head coach somewhere else this time in 2026? Joe wouldn’t be surprised at all. (more…)

What risk?

The way it’s going for Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht, he’ll have to send his wife to do the dirty work when he next needs a new car.

No local dealership will want to negotiate with him for fear of getting taken to the cleaners. (more…)

Improvement?

Last year the Bucs ranked third in average yards per game at 400 yards (399.6 to be precise). Pretty impressive.

But not impressive enough for Ben Bredeson? (more…)
