Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans.

Joe can see a couple of Bucs fans arguing about this over a few Big Storm Brewing beers. (more…)

Running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn.

It’s hard to read between the lines when head coach Todd Bowles speaks because he’s a cautious communicator at news conferences. (more…)

Key wagering stat.

As usual, Joe will head to the Mirage in Las Vegas this summer, perhaps for the final time. (since MGM sold the place, Joe’s MGM Rewards points won’t work there much longer). And among the many recreational activities Joe will partake in will be dropping cash on season-win totals in the NFL and college football. (more…)

“I’m really getting sick of that guy.”

Despite the only sign of Tom Brady’s football demise being his birth certificate, a giant of NFL media cannot seem to accept Brady staying atop his elite game this season. (more…)

Believe it or not, a highly successful 30-year-old receiver playing with the Falcons and Matt Ryan made a surprise switch to Tom Brady’s Patriots and couldn’t find success. (more…)

The fantasy football world got a May buzz last week when Todd Bowles declared Leonard Fournette his No. 1 running back. (more…)

Rookie Bucs TE Ko Kieft

Offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich sure sounds like a guy who expects sixth-round pick tight end Ko Kieft to do more than just make the team. (more…)

Joe once heard a Peyton Manning interview that included Manning sharing his thoughts on his many fourth-quarter comebacks. (more…)

Bucs rookie guard Luke Goedeke.

Status.

It sure feels like a guy critical to the success of the Bucs defense the past three years, and who was extremely helpful with young players, is done with his Bucs days. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ new guard is really high on himself and talks about it comfortably, and almost in a humble way. (more…)

Our beloved Buccaneers traded out of Round 1 last night to land tonight’s opening pick of Round 2, plus a fourth- and sixth-rounder on Saturday afternoon.

Apparently, the move was made to draft defensive tackle Logan Hall and load up on more talent.

Welcome, Mr. Hall! (more…)

Pedigree lauded.

Retired Bucs center and 2021 assistant coach A.Q. Shipley wasn’t just slapping the media and wanting Antonio Brown back on the field during his recent chat on national radio. (more…)

University of Michigan safety Dax Hill.

This mock draft disturbs Joe on a few levels, primarily because of who wrote it. (more…)

“Love you, Mark, but I might still be coaching if you got that right.”

Even before today’s revelation by former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik, the 2011 NFL Draft was a thorny chapter in Bucs history. (more…)

Rookie impact from Clemson CB Andrew Booth.

Joe is high on the Bucs drafting Clemson corner Andrew Booth. (more…)
