One great mystery of the 2018 season is why Caleb Benenoch was allowed to start 16 games at right guard when he was dreadful in that role.

Heck, Jason Licht’s own words confirmed that yesterday. [read more]

Touching moment with America.

Yes, we know  Bucco Bruce Arians came to the Bucs in large part because he viewed the team as having a quarterback in America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. [read more]

Most of the chatter at the NFL combine can be characterized as mushy pablum, vague answers by coaches and GMs who talk a lot and say very little.

As a trade deadline preview of the return of the Lightning Playoff Podcasts in less than a couple months, this edition of the Todd Wright TODDcast talks about the Lightning’s decision to “Do something, by doing nothing.” Simply put, the referendum on whether this was right or wrong will play out in a few months.

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.
