“I’m on fire!” – JoeBucsFan.com

You want the hype around the Super Bowl? Are you looking for positive vibes all year round? Then 85-year-old Tom Moore is your man.

And he's easy to find. If it's 3:05 a.m., you know where the Buccaneers' head offensive assistant coach is. He's at One Buc Palace, starting his workday.

As Moore made clear on WDAE radio this week, he will quit if he can no longer get up at 2:30 a.m. and go to the office every day. (Just don't ask Moore if he takes a nap.)

Moore said he is a diehard optimist, but it sounded like the summer of 2024 would be different than most summers for him.

“I am more excited than ever about this season because I have seen what Baker [Mayfield] “That's what we did,” Moore said. “I saw what we did as a team last year. And I'm excited.”

Joe is also enthusiastic.

It's simple. The Bucs should be the better team this season, and they were damn close to the NFC Championship game in January.
