Fantastic podcast! Todd is so positive, you can feel his smile through and through.
They are a “hunting team” and “It’s not who you want, it’s what you give up and are you renting or keeping.” Good stuff!
“Ain’t no mountain high enough!” Love it!

Agree, Jude – it was a great podcast. I rarely get a chance to listen to them but this one is exceptional and I’m glad I spent the time. Learned a few nuggets about Coach Bowles as well as the confirmed broken bones in McMillan’s neck. I suspected at the time it was not a “simple” neck strain, and it isn’t.
Good stuff – thanks Ira, Steve, Lee and Todd!

Me and the old hound, our favorite podcast, and not a care in the world. Definitely no worries about our football team. Why worry? The more I learn about our coach tells me we’re in very capable hands. The dude is competitive through and through. Don’t know if I’ve seen or heard him so comfortable before. Proud of our reporters getting the respect from the heart of our team, seems like Bowles and Baker both enjoy the trash talk with Sage. I’ve been grinning for about 45 minutes. You mentioned the next 3 games were gonna be tough and he kind of bowed up a little. Said we always play a first place schedule. He truly believes we should beat anybody. I believe we’re gonna win 14 games. And earn one more bye. 9 weeks from now.

Great pod cast guys! I have to admit some times it is hard to listen to an entire pod cast but I was glued ti this one! Great questions by all and candid answers. Great conversion. TB is the right HC for this team and I am proud of what he has built. Their constitution in of the right stuff with the proper leadership and they are capable of scaling that mountain!
Thank you for your patronage. –Joe

This was a great interview with Bowles! I’m glad the team extended him for years to come.
I’m not confident at this point they’ll be a Super Bowl contender this season, but my uncertainty has nothing to do with the coaching staff. If the team is healthy, they can compete with anyone. We’ve got to get back some of our players on offense though to have a chance at a boat parade this season. And at this point, we don’t know for sure if we’re getting back Evans, Godwin, or JMac. Losing 3 of your top 4 WRs would cripple most NFL teams.
That the Bucs can keep winning despite losing those guys in addition to the right side of the o-line, and our #1 RB is impressive. But to go deep into the playoffs, we’ll need to get some of those guys back, and for Baker to get healthy again

Perfect! Great interview. I think, we will have everyone back, after the bye, except evans and macmillan, Baker and rest, will heal up those nagging injuries. Also think, since defense is stepping up and geling, will be able to run the board. 15-2. GO BUCS
