Training Camp 2016 Kicked Off & Joe Joined The Big Dog, Steve Duemig
May 18th, 2019
Man, Joe had so, so many great memories with the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, the great Steve Duemig, The Big Dog, who passed away Thursday.
Joe dove into the Spreaker archives last night for a taste of the JoeBucsFan Hour that Joe had with Duemig on WDAE from 2013-2017. Duemig gave Joe a lot of latitude to take over Duemig’s top-rated show and to challenge him, which is really what made the weekly, 5 p.m. segment unique.
Nobody came after Duemig on the air without getting smacked down or booted. But for some reason, Duemig let Joe keep it real — always.

In episode 24 of The Todd Wright TODDcast, Todd asks the simple question: Why does the NHL want the San Jose Sharks to win the Stanley Cup? Based on the odd, yet consistent, pattern of how Sharks games are being officiated, Todd wants to know why it makes sense for the league to present the Sharks their first championship this year.
.
Todd also offers a true story about his early ESPN days and a sitdown with the great Dan Patrick that was a key moment in Todd’s life. Speaking of Mr. Patrick, Dan recently talked about how a flaw of modern sports talk is the obsession with the “hot take.” Todd has the perfect topic as a timely example of not necessarily having a strong opinion either way: An NFL Draft Lottery. The TODDcast is presented by Brandon Legal Group and by Pin Chasers.
