Are the Bucs becoming America’s Team? Well, they are not the financial juggernaut or international brand the Cowboys are, but CBS must think there’s something there with Tampa Bay.

For the second time in as many weeks, CBS will pipe a Bucs game to the vast majority of America. Per this week’s TV map, roughly 70 percent of the republic will get the Bucs-Bills game via their local CBS affiliate.

It appears from Ocala all the way south to the Keys, Floridians will be able to enjoy the Bucs free via their local CBS affiliate feed. And most of America from the Allegheny Mountains to the Pacific Ocean will, too. And that includes Bucs fans in Alaska and Hawaii!

Our friends in northern Florida will not, however, get the game via their local CBS affiliate.

(Joe is more than a little surprised Bucs fans in Orlando will get the Bucs game tomorrow. Since the Jags announced last week they plan to play home games in Orlando in 2027, Joe thought for sure suits throughout the Orlando business community would immediately adopt the Jags as their own. Bucs fans must have really made their voices heard last week to the program director at the Orlando CBS affiliate. Many central Florida residents were outraged the Bucs game was not broadcast there.)

For those who won’t get the game from their local CBS affiliate, it’s either Sunday Ticket on YouTubeTV or off to your local watering hole.

Joe’s favorite choice in those conditions is Hooters!  Cold beer, hot wings, plenty of TVs and the famous Hooters girls. What more does a Bucs fan need (other than a win)?

Ian Eagle, J.J. Watt and Evan Washburn will handle the call.

Enjoy the game!
