Bucs At Stinking Panthers, TV Map
December 20th, 2025
One would think a game played between two division rivals tied for first place on the week of Christmas would be shown to a good chunk of the country.
One would be wrong.
Because of how the Bucs have cratered, and losing badly on their last two nationally televised games, Joe is confident network suits are done with the Bucs until the playoffs. And the Stinking Panthers are not a decent brand at all. How many times have you seen anyone wearing Stinking Panthers gear outside of the greater Charlotte region?
So the only areas of the country that will broadcast the Bucs-Stinking Panthers game via their local FOX affilates are Florida, the Carolinas and the Carolina-adjacent Appalachian regions of the republic.
For many Bucs fans across the country, it’s a Sunday Ticket kind of day, 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)?
Friend of JoeBucsFan.com Chris Myers, “Stink” Mark Schlereth and Jen Hale will handle the call.
Enjoy the game!

OT: I’m watching the Amazon “Raise the Flags” series and the Glazers came off as real jerks, Rich McKay doesn’t have much love for them, and for them, they shouldn’t have been included.

Jon Gruden also came off as a complete and total jerk. It’s funny years later seeing all of these players trashing him (and Gruden’s offenses were just as bad as Dungy’s).

Joe, yes believe we are now back or close to being the famous Yuks. Can you really blame the networks!. The Bucs are down right awful in prime time. With that said it could be a good game of sorts 2 bad teams going at each other for what looks to be a close game. Maybe one of these teams really wants to win the division!!. I now have an early game indicator. Watch the opening series of most any Bucs game this year, If the opposing team scores on the opening drive you pretty much can go do something else cause the Bucs are going lose. Sometimes really worse than others, but lose non the less.
I am still trying to get over 3rd and 28!!. Yes we really can’t blame the networks Joe

Looks like we get it in Roanoke

This is an ideal game to watch through the Red Zone…vs every agonizing play. They’ll cut to this game when either team is in 3rd and long…making cheeks and colons clench throughout Buc Nation.

FOX is always Dallas. That Denver-Jags game is huge but its just regional coverage.
This why I pay for Sunday Ticket.

Weird they don’t want to televise QBs creating history against our lack of D. Fire over confident mistake prone clueless opposing qb loving Bowles! Immediately.

Makes zero sense for why we keep getting screwed outta the 4:00 FOX game… We get Pittsburgh at Detroit, over Jacksonville at Denver. It’s Ridiculous. Such a Joke.

The local networks should chose the best freakin matchups instead of just basing it off of how many more people are living here from particular areas, or regions of the country. And, the Steelers being a ‘national’ brand. I think they’re behind the time with the formula they are using. It needs to be updated. They’ve already made several major mistakes this season. I think they’re just using the same metrics and teams that they’ve been using for decades. I bet the Cohen led Jags vs Denver would’ve had better ‘ratings’ in this area, than Pissburgh vs Detroit.
