Todd reminds everyone that it has been 25 years since ABC Sports hired a comedian to work Monday Night Football. For those who still claim it was a bad idea, Todd says it sure made a lot more sense to hire a comedian to tell jokes on an NFL telecast than the current cavalcade of former players and coaches attempting to do the same on these unwatchable pregame, halftime and post game shows. The Todd Wright TODDcast is presented by Brandon Legal Group and Plantation Palms. Click above to listen or to download. Or listen via Podcast Addict, TuneIn and other platforms.

Emeka Egbuka had a warning of sorts for his family and friends who are trying to get tickets to the Bucs-Seahawks game Sunday. [read more]

Big loss says the PFF tribe.

As Joe typed many times over the offseason, and fans talked about it, too; it wasn’t if Jamel Dean would get hurt, it was when. [read more]

Back to the lab.

How bad have the Bucs’ special teams been through the first four games of this year? Joe’s glad you asked. [read more]

Bucs RB Bucky Irving.

Last week when Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard held his weekly press conference, Joe asked Grizzard about the number of carries that Bucky Irving was getting. [read more]
