In episode 19 of The Todd Wright TODDcast, Todd compares the Lightning open letter from two years ago to the one from days ago. Todd also points out that the number of head coaches in the NHL Eastern Conference with a Stanley Cup resume continues to grow, which only makes it more difficult to justify keeping Jon Cooper on the Lightning bench. The TODDcast is presented by Brandon Legal Group and Pin Chasers.

PRESENTED BY

For the last three years, Todd Wright has been podcasting here almost exclusively on fantasy football and Lightning playoff hockey. While those podcasts are alive and well, Todd has a new podcast for 2019. And it simply covers pretty much anything that Todd finds interesting. No limits. Sort of like he did for nearly two decades on national radio as host and creator of AllNight with Todd Wright on ESPN, in addition to other roles with Fox Sports Florida, Sirius/XM, Sporting News Radio, etc. Enjoy!

Montez Sweat

Very telling stuff last night from Hall of Fame NFL scouting godfather Gil Brandt. (more…)

Grab a biscuit?

Yesterday Joe brought word that it seems the Jets are hellbent on trading back from the No. 3 pick. (more…)

“Well Jason, at least we can’t pin those awful Cardinals drafts on you.”

If Team Glazer hopes Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht leans on Bucco Bruce Arians for draft knowledge, they may want to quickly revisit such a thought. (more…)

Yes, it’s the season of smoke, draft nonsense and misdirection.

However, studying over time always reveals at least a few good indications of a team’s plan in the draft. (more…)

Where does Vernon Hargreaves belong on the football field?

And why does that seem to be such a tough question surrounding the career of the 11th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft? (more…)

Running back Wesley Fields

Dirk Koetter had a lot of awkward chats and commentary with local media last season and Joe will put the fired head coach’s comments about 49ers running back Matt Breida in the top 10. (more…)

Former GM in love.

If it was up to a former associate/gopher of Bill Walsh, Al Davis and Bill Belicheat, a certain SEC lineman would be his target on Thursday night.

Monster talent

You want what looks like the next Aaron Donald on the Buccaneers? (more…)

When Sam Wyche took over as head coach of the Bucs in 1992, he had a major plan in place for his offense: hand off to Reggie Cobb. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht

The USA Today year-round draft guru has a soft spot for the Bucs. (more…)

Jets shopping No. 3 pick?

This might be a chance too good to pass up. (more…)

Talented or turbulent?

Ed Oliver is an interesting case. (more…)

Jammed by NFL.

Man, the national and not-so-national sports types sure have the Bucs’ backs on the schedule. (more…)

The historically dreadful Buccaneers free agency class of 2014 has one sole survivor. (more…)

Finding ways to win.

Joe has decided to document highlights of Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians captured when he coached Arizona during the inaugural season of “All or Nothing,” a “Hard Knocks”-like miniseries by NFL Films that follows a pro or college team throughout a season and is exclusive to Amazon Prime. Joe hopes these highlights will help Bucs fans learn what to expect from the 12th coach in franchise history. This series of posts will appear periodically until the days leading up to the draft later this month.

December football in these parts is losing football. But for Bruce Arians and his 2015 Cardinals, it was winning December football that propelled them to the playoffs. (more…)

In episode 18 of The Todd Wright TODDcast, Todd calls out Lightning GM Julien BriseBois for his Thursday press conference that doubled down on keeping Jon Cooper and essentially called the playoff series a fluke.

Keep him.

Probably the most underrated player on the Bucs is Cam Brate. (more…)

Did Bucs no favors.

If the Bucs are make the playoffs this season, the hiring of Bucco Bruce Arians will prove to be likely the best hire Team Glazer has made since swinging a deal for Chucky prior to the 2002 season. (more…)

There are bad wins.

A win is a win. NFL coaches like to say this. For Bruce Arians, this cliche isn’t an absolute. (more…)

Draft-selection insight is a lot easier to glean when your personnel chief has a very long and public history of explaining and detailing his preferences and selections. (more…)

Win there or prepare for draft.

If you aren’t playing for the playoffs, then you are playing for the draft (or you better be). (more…)
