Last week Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht may have had one of the funniest quips in the history of “Hard Knocks.”

In so many words, Licht said being stuck in a cross-country drive with FOX Sports personality Skip Bayless would be worse than being waterboarded.

Of course, Licht’s takedown of Bayless found it’s way to Bayless. And partially because of Licht’s outburst, Bayless has serious doubts about the leadership of the Bucs and wonders if America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, will ever be able to max out his talents.

“I must admit I have a slight bit of new bias,” Bayless said of picking his NFC playoff teams and omitting the Bucs. “As much as I love Jameis — and I really love Jameis … I just don’t know about the coaching staff and I would throw the GM, Jason Licht into that group. Not impressive. A little high school-ish. After a while, I say, ‘These guys are running the show?’ I’m starting to think that the ceiling is a little lower for Jameis and company and all the new talent around him because of the coaching staff, and I will throw Jason Licht into that.”

[Joe’s note: Bayless pronounced Licht’s name in German by calling him “licked,” not “light,” which would be a correct pronunciation if Licht was from Germany]

Joe rarely — and Joe means very rarely — watches Bayless and his show on FS1. Maybe Joe saw it once for a couple of moments while surfing. That’s it. When Bayless was on BSPN with screamin’ Stephen A. Smith, that tripe was just unwatchable from all the hollering and ignorant posturing and redundant, predictable, boring subject matter (vapid non-basketball association babbling, for example).

Drafting a kicker aside, Licht has been a solid general manager. His grand slam of 2015 (Jameis, Donovan Smith, Ali Marpet and Kwon Alexander) may just go down in Bucs history as the second-best draft.

With an eye for talent like that, Joe is convinced the Bucs are in good hands.
