Super Bowl LIII vs AAF Season Opener

February 6th, 2019

Todd goes from pro football last weekend seamlessly to pro football this weekend in this edition of The Todd Wright TODDcast. Sort of.
.
While Todd offers thoughts on one play that clearly could have changed the outcome of Rams-Patriots, he also offers historical perspective on the “first impression rose” that this new professional football league is offering all of us this weekend. Whether you accept the rose seems much less likely than the ones Colton is dishing out to Taysha and Hannah. The Todd Wright TODDcast is presented by Brandon Legal Group.

PRESENTED BY*Joe thinks it’s very cool to have Todd Wright diving back into the kind of thing he was known for nationally. 

For the last three years, Todd Wright has been podcasting here almost exclusively on fantasy football and Lightning playoff hockey. While those podcasts are not going away permanently, they each clearly have offseasons.

So, for the new year, Todd has a new podcast. 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. Our thanks to Brandon Legal Group for their continuing support of both Todd Wright Tour golf tournaments as well as the TODDcast into 2019. Enjoy.

February 5th, 2019

Can he do it?

It’s nice to think Bucco Bruce Arians could get the Bucs into a playoff game come January 2020. Might not be likely, but it is possible. [read more]

BY IRA KAUFMAN

It might be foolish to argue with a Hall of Fame coach, but here goes.

John Lynch’s Fight For Canton

February 4th, 2019

Still waiting.

Over the weekend, former Bucs and Broncos safety John Lynch failed again to collect the necessary votes to be immortalized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It has become a sad February tradition which began in 2014. JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman, Tampa Bay’s Pro Hall of Fame voter, who was to present Lynch (again) could not attend the gathering in Atlanta on Saturday due to a family medical issue. Former Bucs beat writer Charean Williams, also a Pro Football Hall of Fame selector, presented Lynch on behalf of Kaufman. Williams offers up her view from “the room” of how Saturday’s selection process shook down.

BY CHAREAN WILLIAMS

When Ira Kaufman called early last week and asked me to present John Lynch in his stead, I was honored. I also was petrified.

Lynch, who I covered during his first six years with the Buccaneers, deserves to have a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In fact, he’s overdue as former teammates Derrick Brooks and Warren Sapp reminded me last week. [read more]
