The read-between-the-lines crowd will like this. (more…)

MVP chatter.

Joe was listening to a national sports radio show not found on SiriusXM NFL Radio and the host was rattling off teams he believes are the NFC’s best. (more…)

“Start fast, Baker.”

Baker Mayfield was sharp against the Eagles. One reason that got a lot of run for his good day was getting rid of the ball quicker. (more…)

Sunday at The Licht House, Baker Mayfield had a pass that if you didn’t know any better, you’d think it was thrown by the guy up in the FOX broadcast booth working as a commentator. (more…)

Still out.

Man, the Bucs have a long injury report today. (more…)

The Bucs still aren’t throwing deep (very much).

Joe sensed a pattern through the first three weeks. Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen wanted to limit his quarterback throwing 20 yards or more downfield.

That mostly continued Sunday against the Eagles.

Coen has had Baker Mayfield largely throwing outside the hashmarks. That was, until the Eagles’ game. On Sunday, Mayfield scattered passes all over, just not deep.

Mayfield had four attempts over 20 yards, per NexGen Stats, completing just one. Overall, Mayfield was 30-of-47 for 347 yards with two touchdowns and no picks.

One cool thing about covering the Bucs is that their stars don’t beat their chests and woof about how good they are like guys on other teams. (more…)

Laid down the law.

One nugget Joe unearthed prowling the Bucs’ locker room after the beatdown of the Eagles is that a Bucs captain last week tore his teammates a new rear end for how they stunk up the joint against the lowly Broncos. (more…)

One memorable moment of Joe’s career came during a heated parking lot exchange at a Lee Roy Selmon’s restaurant grand opening in 2011. (more…)
