Critical objective in 2024.

Joe is confident this ugly offensive streak will come to an end this year. For no other reason than it must. (more…)

Bucs at OTA practice today.

Underwear football was in full swing at a toasty Bucs practice Tuesday morning. (more…)

Joe always pays a little extra attention when Tampa native (Alonso High) and eight-year NFL vet Leger Douzable, who played for Todd Bowles with the Jets, is talking Bucs football. (more…)

“G@# damnit Cousins, why would you ever throw toward Winfield? His old man kept me up at night. His kid might be better. Jiminy Christmas!”

It’s bad enough that the man who guided the bridesmaid Bucs to their first Super Bowl win worked with the slimy Saints last year. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ Ring Of Honor general manager has evolved.

Joe is a huge fan of the in-season Hard Knocks series.

What a gem of an inside look when the games really count. Heck, the shows almost made Joe a closet Colts and Dolphins fan. (more…)

Interesting chatter from assistant Bucs general manager John Spytek this evening after the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft. (more…)

Bucs rookie center out of Duke University, first-round pick Graham Barton.

So what was in Graham Barton’s head on draft night Thursday? (more…)

OL Graham Barton, the Bucs’ first-round pick..

So what should Joe make of new Bucs center Graham Barton? Well, Joe decided to consult one of the better talent evaluators in football. (more…)

“I showed your card, Todd.”

There’s a reason Joe only had one pre-written story about tonight’s draft.

It posted a couple of minutes after the announcement of Graham Barton as the Bucs’ draft pick at No. 26 overall. (more…)

Challenge.

Warren Sharp doesn’t play by normal rules. (more…)

Unlike some cornerback prospects in this year’s NFL Draft, Bucs third-year corner Zyon McCollum made a lot of plays during his college years. (more…)

Likes watching Baker Mayfield.

A former Bucs quarterback has the current Bucs quarterback’s back. (more…)

Is Baker Mayfield almost asking for nasty hits because of the way he plays?

A Buccaneers player sort of went there on Monday. (more…)

Bucs edge rusher YaYa Diaby.

Joe hopes the Bucs take their warmly embraced anger to the next level. (more…)

Todd Bowles loves to practice against other teams during training camp and that tradition will continue this year. (more…)

A guy who got a check from Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht and walked out of Tampa with a Super Bowl ring delivered quite a rant while naming his big winner in 2024 free agency. (more…)

Manbeast Calais Campbell.

Joe would wager that the Bucs draft an edge rusher in Round 1 or 2 next month. It feels like a super safe bet on par with wagering on Joe Tryon-Shoyinka notching single-digit sacks. (more…)

Baker Mayfield speaks.

Everyone paying attention knows Baker Mayfield’s new contract is a fraction of what comparable fellow Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins got on his new deal with the Falcons. (more…)

Joe looks forward to JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman rolling up his sleeves in 6 or 7 years and finding the proper angles to begin the process of getting Lavonte David into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame.

It seems David has thought about it, too. (more…)

Can’t please all the people.

While most (not all) Bucs fans are celebrating their Pro Bowl MVP quarterback coming  back for another two seasons, maybe three, one man has cold evidence that suggests there should be no celebrating. (more…)
