Fined.

Yes, Josina Anderson of ESPN sparked a stir the day after Christmas when she reported that malcontent wide receiver DeSean Jackson wants out of town. [read more]

To hear some Bucs fans wail, America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, is the worst quarterback in the free world. [read more]

If Team Glazer wants a sexy hire to replace Dirk Koetter, then Steelers offensive line coach and ex-Titans head coach Mike Munchak is not their guy, even if he is a Hall of Famer.

But sexy is no guarantee of winning games. [read more]

Not a lot of warm and fuzzy chatter by Dirk Koetter today when asked about his relationship with DeSean Jackson. [read more]

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.

*the TODDcast should be available within a day or two on major podcast platforms, where you can subscribe free. Joe thinks it’s very cool to have Todd Wright here and diving back into the kind of thing he was known for nationally. Enjoy this short TODDcast preview by clicking above.
