Let’s think about what just happened here.

The Bucs struck out in free agency. Yeah, again. (more…)

Yeah, yeah, Bucs fans want super-reliable receiver Adam Humphries back in 2019. Jason Licht and Bucco Bruce Arians have said the same thing publicly.

Joe vividly remembers last year at Super Bowl Week when manbeast defensive tackle Aaron Donald of the Rams appeared on “Pro Football Talk Live,” seen on the NBC Sports Network, and said he watches tape of Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to learn how to become a better player. (more…)

New head coach Bucco Bruce Arians has studied Tampa Bay personnel since signing his four-year contract to lead Tampa Bay, and it seems pending free agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick might be welcomed back with open arms. (more…)

Andrew Luck talks to Joe

Joe loves the Pro Bowl vibe. Anything NFL warms Joe’s heart. (more…)

In the mind of a former Bucs player, the Bucs are better off holding their noses and finding a way to keep malcontent wide receiver DeSean Jackson than to toss him away. (more…)

Joe expects it will be two-time NFL Coach of the Year Bruce Arians.

“Look, Glazer, my spreadsheet on available coaches was a freakin’ masterpiece.”

It seems general manager Jason Licht was shopping for head coaches weeks or months ago. (more…)

Still a depressing den.

No matter how accurate it is, there is still a sect of Bucs fans that grind their teeth whenever they read the following on this here site. (more…)
