Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction. (more…)

First Bucky Irving, now Sam Darnold.

It happened again. (more…)

Snaps at WR discussed.

Look, Joe didn’t expect Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen to broadcast how he is going to attack the Dixie Chicks on Creamsicle Sunday without Mike Evans or Chris Godwin. (more…)

Challenges.

If Liam Coen can keep the offensive production close to what the Bucs have been getting, there is no doubt he’ll be a head coach in the NFL somewhere next year. (more…)

New injury.

The Buccaneers’ injury report is small but devastating. (more…)

SirVocea Dennis’ possible return revealed.

Back when Bucs inside linebacker SirVocea Dennis got hurt, head coach Todd Bowles only mentioned how Dennis might be out a while. (more…)

Watched practice today.

Obviously, Joe hopes this action was taken with an abundance of caution in mind. (more…)
