Free football.

The past few weeks, much of the nation has been able to watch the Bucs play.

That’s to be expected when you play Green Bay, Dallas and Pittsburgh in consecutive weeks. Those are likely the three most popular teams in the NFL.

This week? Well, not so much.

Living in Florida or in ACC country is likley to get you the Bucs-Panthers game from your local FOX affiliate. If you’re not there, your local sports bar or Sunday Ticket are the likely answers..

If you have to leave the house tomorrow to catch the game, Joe always recommends Hooters. It’s made for swilling cold beer, wolfing down wings and watching football.

Big game for the Bucs. Since it is the first division game, and the division is so awful, just beating the Stinking Panthers will give the Bucs life.

Handling the call for FOX will be Kevin Kugler, windy Daryl “Moose” Johnston and Allison Williams (Streaming and radio broadcast information will be included in “Gameday Tampa Bay” scheduled to publish here at midnight.)
