On Tuesday’s Ira Kaufman Podcast, there were typical tense and passionate moments.

One focused on the appropriate grade for general manager Jason Licht’s draft history. (more…)

A Buccaneers icon got a chance to deliver a state of Jameis address recently, and he did not disappoint. (more…)

Let’s face it, the college running back most Bucs fans are not chatting about over beers is Ronald Jones II, and it’s only because he played 3,000 miles away at the University of Southern California. (more…)

Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer.

Here’s a rare look inside the mind of Team Glazer.

Much love to the Bucs for allowing audio nuggets from last week’s JoeBucsFan.com/Joel Glazer chat session in Orlando to be shared here. (more…)

“Jason, why would anyone try to hang Roberto Aguayo on my family?”

Remember that CBS report from insider Prickly Pete Prisco claiming it was Bucs “ownership who pushed the pick” of Roberto Aguayo?

Joe asked Buccaneers co-chairman Joel Glazer about that today. (more…)

Brother of Chucky talks JPP.

Joe can report from the NFL coaches breakfast this morning one thing with an absolute 100 percent degree of accuracy. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Raiders fans have been doing their share of grumbling about Jon Gruden’s approach in free agency this year. (more…)

The “building through the draft” company line used across the NFL sounds really sweet, warm and comfortable.

But it is misleading. (more…)

Yes, Joe has been closely monitoring the movements of the Buccaneers’ former franchise quarterback. (more…)

“Dear Indy …”

The Colts issued the strongest draft signal over the weekend by trading the No. 3 overall pick to the Jets for their No. 6 overall pick and two second-rounders in 2018, plus a second-round pick next year.

It should represent a green light for the Bucs. (more…)

Bucs will sit down with Bradley Chubb.

Another interview with a defensive end monster. (more…)

Don’t stop.

OK, so the Bucs added a defensive end yesterday, sort of poaching from the Super Bowl champions. Joe wrote “sort of” since Vinny Curry was released, in part because the Eagles traded for Michael Bennett who the Bucs turned their noses up on.

Again! (more…)

The only conclusion Joe can come to is the powers that be at One Buc Palace are damned confident in themselves. (more…)

“You know Jason, if Ryan Smith can just go workout with his high school coach this summer, he might be OK. No need to get nervous.”

It seems the Bucs and Joe both look at a painting and see different images. (more…)

Multiple Bucs ties

One of the most unique and talented — and young — NFL ballhawks is now available.

And yes, he’s more valuable than Ryan Smith and Vernon Hargreaves. (more…)

Mrs. Grimes, wife of Brent Grimes, doesn’t sound confident about her husband’s future as a stud Buccaneers cornerback.

Where will Brent Grimes play this season?

It sounds like he won’t retire — and it feels like he won’t be in Tampa wearing a Bucs uniform. (more…)

Many Bucs fans were troubled after watching defensive ends Will Clarke and Ryan Russell combine for seven starts and a ton of ineffective pass rushing last year. (more…)

BY IRA KAUFMAN

What did you expect them to say?

No NFL coach or GM worth his hefty paycheck is going to stand up at a podium and talk about the chasm between their team and the other clubs in the division. (more…)

“Go# d$%^&* if I don’t look out for No. 1, who the f&^* will? Jiminy Christmas!”

So yeah, Joe lobbed the first question at Chucky yesterday morning when the greatest coach in Bucs history took the podium at the NFL combine to meet with the NFL media. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, may be the leader of your Buccaneers, and he may be fond of saying the team is “one heartbeat” and “family,” but he did not talk to his brotherhood about the elephant that landed in the locker room more than three months ago. (more…)

The fearless leader of the Buccaneers, Dirk Koetter, has been an offensive coordinator in the NFL for 11 seasons.

Take a wild guess how many of those teams featured a rookie RB? (more…)

Shoots straight

Yes, you really need to listen to today’s Ira Kaufman Podcast. It’s on the home page or at iTunes, Podbean and Google Play.

Special guest, Bucs right tackle Demar Dotson, really opened up. Among the riveting subjects Dotson dove into were as follows: (more…)
