Remember as this lost Bucs season comes to a close that what you think means nothing and what Joe thinks is trivial.

What only matters is what the cooperative known as Team Glazer thinks. (more…)

“Jason, if I call you in the fourth quarter tonight, please pick up the phone.”

The draft freaks and the tank-now crowd among the Bucs faithful were popping champagne last night. (more…)

Man, somebody or somebodies out there really is out to get America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston.

That mysterious entity sought to make Jameis look like a petulant, spoiled child to the nation yesterday and largely succeeded. (more…)

Gather ’round Buc fans, we’ve got a classic whodunit on our hands.

Somebody wants Dirk Koetter fired, that much is clear. If the Glazers haven’t already made up their minds about whether to bring Koetter back for 2018, the best way to get him out of town is to suggest things have soured between the head coach and the face of the franchise. (more…)

Remember when a couple of Lions, including Matthew Stafford, took shots at America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, for his finger-sucking W antics before the Bucs were blown out by the Saints? (more…)

General manager Jason Licht

The question in the headline is fired at Joe at least 10 times a day.

For now, it’s even a much more pressing thought in fans’ minds than whether America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, actually crotch-grabbed a female Uber driver without permission. (more…)

They played hard, they played physical … and they lost.

Blame this setback on lack of football smarts. Tampa Bay kicked Green Bay’s rump up and down Lambeau Field all afternoon in a game the Packers simply had to have. (more…)

It’s the Wednesday Dirk Koetter Confidence Poll. The weekly 24-hour poll posted at 11:3t a.m. Last week’s results are linked here.

Demar Dotson

When it’s all added up, right tackle Demar Doston will have missed 18 games through the 2015-2017 seasons. (more…)

BY IRA KAUFMAN

My only road trip of the season ended in heartache for the visitors and relief for the surging Falcons.

Tampa Bay made it interesting for awhile in the second half, but the Bucs failed to make the plays necessary to extend their winning streak to three games. One look at the face of dejected GM Jason Licht in the locker room and you knew there are no moral victories in the NFL. (more…)

Ex-Buccaneer talks Jameis

It’s been eight days since America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, was publicly accused of crotch-grabbing a female Uber driver without permission at a fast food restaurant in the wee hours. (more…)

“Mr. Glazer, Mr. Licht, you know of a good yoga gym?”

It’s not a been a strong season for J.R. Sweezy, the right guard who returned this year after missing a full calendar year of practice and games because of back surgery. (more…)

The GM speaks

Hey, the Buccaneers are 3-6. But what does the record look like if America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, didn’t get injured? (more…)
