Podcasts about Tampa Bay

John Harbaugh's impact on the Giants is already impossible to ignore. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they react to Isaiah Likely describing a dramatically different training camp and debate whether Harbaugh's professionalism, structure and demanding approach are being underrated before the season even begins. The Yankees also get a major boost from the Mets taking two of three from Tampa Bay, keeping the AL East race within reach. Shaun and Tiki break down the Yankees' path to the division, Austin Wells' resurgence, Cam Littler's performance and the growing belief that Aaron Judge could soon return to the lineup.

The Mets just gave the Yankees exactly the help they needed by taking two of three from Tampa Bay, pulling the AL East race back within striking distance. Now the pressure is on the Yankees to keep winning, survive a difficult San Diego series and make sure their upcoming four-game showdown with the Rays still matters. There is also growing excitement around Aaron Judge's potential return. The conversation turns to how Judge's presence could energize the entire lineup for the September push, even if he needs time to regain his form after a long absence. Plus, Austin Wells' recent improvement offers another encouraging sign as the Yankees try to build momentum for October.

Send us Fan MailEvery child deserves a safe place to call home. In this episode of Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with Jynelle Armstrong, Program Director at A Kid's Place of Tampa Bay, to discuss the life-changing work of providing a loving home for children entering foster care.Jynelle shares how a summer volunteer opportunity completely changed the direction of her life—from pursuing corporate business to dedicating her career to helping children heal from abuse, neglect, and abandonment. She explains why keeping siblings together is critical, how trauma-informed care transforms lives, and why A Kid's Place is redefining what residential foster care should look like.The conversation also explores leadership, psychology, resilience, travel, curiosity, discipline, and the importance of meeting every child where they are. One particularly moving story about a child who had never celebrated a birthday serves as a reminder that healing often begins with the smallest acts of love.Whether you're a parent, educator, nonprofit leader, foster parent, or simply someone who believes every child deserves hope, this episode offers meaningful insights into compassion, leadership, and creating environments where children can truly thrive.Top 3 Highlights❤️ Why keeping siblings together dramatically improves healing.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when children entering foster care are given more than a bed—when they are given stability, trusted adults, opportunities, and the chance to remain with their brothers and sisters?Samantha Mellen, Development Director at A Kid's Place of Tampa Bay, explains how the organization creates a safe, loving, family-style environment for children who have experienced trauma and family disruption.Samantha walks Joey Pinz through the realities of foster care, from children arriving late at night with few belongings to the gradual process of building trust and helping them feel like children again. She describes A Kid's Place's live-in house-parent model, on-campus therapists, academic support, mentoring, independent-living programs, and extended foster care services for young adults ages 18–23.The conversation also challenges the damaging assumption that foster children are inherently “troubled.” Samantha's message is direct: they are simply children who need consistency, care, and someone willing to believe in them.She also shares how community members can contribute through their time, talent, treasure, or voice, and why even ordinary donations can have a measurable impact.Top Three Highlights

Send us Fan MailWhat does it take to create a true home for children navigating foster care?Lauren Slappey, Unit Supervisor at A Kid's Place of Tampa Bay, joins Joey Pinz for a candid conversation about supporting children during some of the most difficult and uncertain moments of their lives.Lauren explains how A Kid's Place keeps siblings together, provides consistent house parents, and creates individualized care based on each child's emotional, educational, and personal needs. She shares why structure can provide security, how compassion fatigue affects caregivers, and why foster children often want something simple: the freedom to be ordinary kids.The conversation also explores Lauren's journey from aspiring veterinarian and teacher to more than 13 years in social work. She discusses leadership, unconditional love, trusting her instincts, accepting mistakes, and learning that meaningful change rarely happens overnight.For Lauren, impact is found in everyday moments—a conversation in the car, learning to cook, receiving a message years later, or helping a child feel safe enough to open up.This episode is a powerful reminder that showing up consistently can alter the direction of a child's life.Top Three Highlights

He also explains what happens when a child first arrives in foster care, the importance of house parents, and why children in group homes deserve to be viewed as ordinary kids facing extraordinary circumstances.This conversation is a direct look at leadership, service, resilience, and the people working every day to protect children who need stability most.Top Three Highlights

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick recap today's media avail with Bucs GM Jason Light, who revealed the call to make Jalen Daniels the number two quarterback was essentially made before he ever took a preseason snap — how quickly he absorbed the offense in practice sealed it, and his comeback wins over the Jets and Chiefs only confirmed it. Rick and Steve dig into just how rare, and risky, this is: undrafted rookie quarterbacks have started only 0.5% of possible games over the last decade, going a combined 10-19, and the move says as much about how unimpressed the Bucs were with the still-unsigned Jake Browning as it does about their faith in Daniels. They also cover the day's brutal roster churn — undrafted linebacker Caden Fordham made the 53, then was released hours later to open a spot for cornerback Kevin Knowles (claimed off waivers from the Chiefs), while pass rusher Jack Pyron, who'd racked up two sacks in the preseason finale alone and looked like their best defensive standout in camp, got scooped up by Kansas City. Plus, Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan sat out a bonus practice (nothing to worry about, per the team), and Rick previews a potential shootout at Cincinnati against Joe Burrow, teasing — again — the "weaker than you'd think" position group he'll finally reveal tomorrow.Then the Rays cruised past the Mets behind a strong start from Freddy Peralta, who shook off a leadoff homer to his old team's Francisco Lindor and settled in from there, allowing just two more hits. Tampa Bay's offense keeps rolling — Yandy Diaz, Chandler Simpson, Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda all sit among the AL's top nine hitters, and the Rays' team batting average leads all of baseball, four points better than the Dodgers and 11 points better than the next-closest AL club. Their magic number is down to 11 for a playoff spot and 20 to clinch the AL East, with the Yankees lead sitting around four and a half to five and a half games depending on how New York's late West Coast game with the newly-sold Angels shakes out.

The Jets' quarterback plan is already under fire. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber question why Cade Klubnik is the only real insurance behind Geno Smith, with Tiki warning the Jets may simply have no plan if Geno goes down. They debate Jimmy Garoppolo, Will Levis and Joe Milton as alternatives, while wondering whether the franchise is repeating the same mistake it made behind Aaron Rodgers. The Mets finally give Yankees fans something to celebrate by beating Tampa Bay, only for the Yankees to waste the opportunity with an ugly loss to the Angels. Plus, Aaron Boone's bullpen decisions get defended, Trent Grisham's role comes under fire, and Spencer Jones makes a strong case to stay in the Yankees lineup every day.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down the newly finalized Buccaneers practice squad, headlined by two familiar-feeling additions. Veteran quarterback Easton Stick — turning 31 on September 15 — joins as Jalon Daniels' new mentor and emergency QB3, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Zach Robinson, who worked him out as a pre-draft coach back when Stick was piling up a 49-3 record and four national championships at North Dakota State. Rick explains why the Bucs wanted a steady veteran voice in the quarterback room over another developmental arm, and why Stick — who's barely played in six NFL seasons behind Justin Herbert and later with Robinson in Atlanta — won out over re-signing Connor Bazelak. They also welcome back cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, a key piece of the 2020 Super Bowl run (three postseason interceptions, including a momentum-swinging one in Green Bay), who brings much-needed experience to a young, thin secondary. Rick runs down the rest of the practice squad additions before previewing the two-week runway to the opener at Cincinnati, teasing — but not yet revealing — an area he thinks the Bucs could unexpectedly struggle.Then it's over to the Rays, whose wild week came back to earth with a 3-2 loss to the Mets Monday night, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs late. Rick and Steve also revisit the controversial catch-that-wasn't-quite-a-catch from the Padres series over the weekend, still unable to find a rule that explains how a ball secured in the glove for two steps became a home run when it popped out at the wall. Tampa Bay's lead over the Yankees is down to four games with 25 left to play, and they set up tonight's rematch with Freddy Peralta getting a shot at revenge against the Mets team that drafted and developed him. Plus, Aaron Donald's stunning $20 million comeback with the Rams, and an early look at the Lightning's revamped roster ahead of training camp. Hosted on Acast.

Somebody in California just stole 40,000 pounds of Pabst Blue Ribbon in what may be the largest beer heist ever, and somehow that isn't even the strangest story of the week. Villanova blew a 10-point lead in under a minute, USC opened against Fresno State in front of a painfully empty Coliseum, Eastern Michigan and UNLV delivered two very different entrances, and Brent Venables gave a great answer on why he still coaches. Then we get into the real college football chaos: Lane Kiffin says his players support bringing former NFL players back, while the SEC is reportedly considering extreme measures against LSU as the eligibility fight keeps escalating.

How could last weekend have gotten any better? The Rays' proposed new stadium in Tampa is officially a full go after receiving nearly $900 million in public funding from the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County, ending (for now) what's been a saga that's lasted two decades in Tampa Bay. Just as plans for the future home of the Rays have been finalized, the team finished a weekend sweep of the San Diego Padres in thrilling fashion with an improbable walk-off win on Sunday, a series this team was destined to win after the stadium news came out.

The 53-man roster didn't even last 24 hours before Carolina started tinkering again. On this episode of Two Growls One Roar, we're breaking down every move the Panthers made the day after final cuts — and there's more here than you'd think for a Monday in late August.We start with the practice squad, where 12 players cleared waivers and walked right back into the building. Four of them actually matter for this roster: David Moore, cut for John Metchie III just a day earlier, lands back with the team on the strength of his relationship with Dave Canales going back to Seattle and Tampa Bay. Isaiah Simmons, the former eighth-overall pick, is back for a third season as one of the most versatile chess pieces on the roster. Jake Curhan adds more offensive line depth at a position that's already thin behind the injuries to Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton. And Cam Gill returns for special-teams and pass-rush depth. We also touch on the eight rookies and young players filling out the rest of the 16-man squad, plus the international pathway exemption that let Carolina add linebacker Maz Mwansa without it counting against that number — something we explained in detail in our last episode's rules primer.From there, Bobby Okereke's deal is officially signed, and we get into why that's a real add: four of his last five seasons have topped 130 tackles, and he immediately becomes the second-most accomplished linebacker on the roster next to Devin Lloyd. But that signing wasn't free — Carolina had to place backup guard Brady Christensen, still working back from last October's torn Achilles, on injured reserve to make room.Then we walk through the Panthers' first waiver claim of the season: center Corey Bullock off Baltimore's roster, in exchange for waiving Chandler Zavala, Carolina's own 2023 fourth-round pick. It's a full-circle moment on the rules we broke down last episode — Bullock going through the actual waiver process instead of being released outright. We also flag that two of Carolina's own cuts from Sunday didn't sit on the wire long: Nick Samac was claimed by the Vikings and Trevin Wallace was claimed by the Jets, both landing directly on new 53-man rosters.We close with the names you'll see floating around on unofficial trackers that the team itself hasn't confirmed — linebacker Tyrel Dodson, defensive tackle Anthony Goodlow, and offensive lineman Torricelli Simpkins III, a Charlotte native with local ties. We give you the stats and context on all three, but we're clear about the caveat: until Panthers.com actually announces it, this is smoke, not fire.If you want to actually understand how a roster gets built in the days after cutdown — not just who made it, but who's quietly cycling through behind the scenes — this is the episode. Subscribe for more Panthers, Hornets, and Gamecocks coverage, and drop a comment if you think any of those unconfirmed names actually stick.

The Yankees may have slammed the door on Boston's playoff hopes, but the Rays are suddenly creating a new problem. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether the Yankees have effectively locked up the top wild-card spot, why Tampa Bay's bizarre late-game wins feel dangerous, and whether the AL East race is truly over. They also revisit Aaron Boone's controversial lineup choices against Boston, David Cone seemingly predicting Elliott Ramos' three-run homer moments before it happened, and the bigger problem with MLB replay. The hour closes with a debate over position players pitching in blowouts and whether baseball is eventually headed toward a mercy rule.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick dig into one of the more improbable quarterback stories in franchise history: undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels beating out Jake Browning and Connor Bazelak to become Baker Mayfield's backup. Rick traces just how rare this is — the last rookie the Bucs handed the QB2 job to was Mike Glennon back in 2013 — and walks through how a three-star recruit out of Kansas who went undrafted turned heads in joint practices against the Jets and Chiefs, then got an extended (and rocky) look against Jacksonville's twos and threes before locking down the job anyway. They debate what the call says about Browning, whether the coaching staff may have stumbled onto Baker Mayfield's eventual successor given how similar their games are, and run through the rest of the roster cuts — including Chris Braswell's release and moves along both lines — before previewing the two-week runway to the season opener at Cincinnati.Then it's over to the Rays, who somehow won two of the strangest games of their season against the Padres — a shortstop's non-contact knee injury on an errant throw home that flipped one game, and a bizarre would-be series-ending catch-and-drop in left field that got ruled a home run and reignited the "what actually is a catch" debate — before pulling out the extra-innings finale on a Liam Hicks throw that nailed a runner at third. The sweep pushes Tampa Bay to 82-54, four and a half games up on the Yankees. Rick and Steve also dig into the latest on the Rays' "forever home": with Tampa City Council and Hillsborough County's approval in hand, the next steps are bond filings (30 to 90 days) and prepping Hillsborough Community College for portable classrooms, plus why this ownership group's commitment to staying in Tampa feels different than the Stu Sternberg era ever did.

Rick Stroud reports live from Jacksonville after a joint practice the Bucs would rather forget — Baker Mayfield admitted afterward that "if this was a full game, I don't think we would have come out on the winning side," and Chris Godwin, in his tenth year, called out the team for getting out-physicaled by Liam Cohen's Jaguars. Rick and Steve break down what went wrong, why a wake-up call now beats one in Cincinnati, and the real bright spots buried in a rough day: Tristan Wirfs back in full pads and moving well, Rueben Bain Jr. continuing to wreck practice reps, and Benjamin Morrison finally getting through a complete practice for the first time in ages. They also preview Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars and the roster crunch coming this weekend as the Bucs cut from 90 to 53.On the Rays, Tampa Bay's AL East remains at 3.5 games after a 4-1 loss to Detroit, with Rick and Steve digging into the tiebreaker math that still favors the Rays down the stretch, a remarkable stat line from an opposing starter who didn't get a single swing-and-miss in over 80 pitches against Tampa Bay's contact-heavy lineup, and what the Rays need from their rotation to hold on. They close with a tribute to Dolly Parton, who died at 80. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Reporting live from Jacksonville ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' joint practices with the Jaguars, Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick recap the shaky tackle depth behind Baker Mayfield in the preseason opener and preview what to watch as the Bucs get real practice reps against Liam Cohen's similarly-schemed offense. They dig back into the Jalon Daniels debate — why his string of strong preseason relief outings still shouldn't make him QB2 over veteran Jake Browning — and break down the wild news out of Cleveland, where Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson the Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders, setting up a loaded Week 2 matchup when the Browns visit Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield faces the quarterback who effectively pushed him out of Cleveland. Rick also weighs in on the arrest of 49ers owner Jed York and what it means for accountability at the ownership level.On the Rays, Drew Rasmussen and Nick Martinez keep building Cy Young cases with back-to-back dominant starts, and closer Bryan Baker pushed his save total to 38 as Tampa Bay knocked off Detroit behind some old-school, back-to-back bunt small ball. At 78-53, the Rays have already topped last year's win total with 31 games still to play. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thirteen days from kickoff and Florida still doesn't have a quarterback. Dan, Nick, Jordan and Corry break down everything out of Saturday's second fall scrimmage, run through a loaded week in Gators sports — and then sit down with one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever wear orange and blue.

The Yankees have dragged themselves right back into the AL East race, forcing Evan to admit his earlier declaration that the division was over no longer holds up. With New York just three games behind Tampa Bay, Evan still picks the Rays to win the East, but acknowledges the Yankees have made it a legitimate fight. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts. The conversation also turns to Geno Smith and quarterbacks who revived their careers with new teams, including Vinny Testaverde, Rich Gannon and Sam Darnold. Plus, the Jaxson Dart debate continues over whether the Giants quarterback is getting treated differently around the NFL.

The Yankees are suddenly back in the AL East race, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are split on whether this surge is real enough to catch Tampa Bay. Tiki reverses course after four straight wins and an improving lineup, while Evan refuses to abandon the larger sample without Aaron Judge. Gerrit Cole's dominant outing also sparks a major Yankees debate over whether he has actually been better in pinstripes than CC Sabathia. They also get into Michael Kay's eyebrow-raising “offensive orgy” call, Anthony Volpe's move to second base in the minors, Pete Alonso's potential Hall of Fame path, and the roster decision looming for Spencer Jones when Cody Bellinger returns. Plus, the wild New York-area storms and tornado videos lead to a debate over what anyone is actually supposed to do when a tornado hits.

The Yankees have won four straight and cut Tampa Bay's AL East lead to four games, forcing Tiki Barber to reverse his earlier declaration that the division race was over. Evan Roberts isn't convinced, arguing that the Yankees' lengthy stretch without Aaron Judge still shows a team only slightly above .500 despite the recent surge. They debate whether Cody Bellinger's return, improved offense from Elliott Ramos and Luis Garcia, and dominant pitching can change the race. Gerrit Cole's latest gem also sparks a bigger argument, with Evan making the case that Cole has actually been a better Yankee than CC Sabathia, even if CC remains the more beloved figure.

On today's Monday Night Football Thursday, Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys react to all things ball as they look ahead to Thursday's double header with the Raiders taking on the Texans and the 49ers taking on the Chargers. They're joined by the newest member of the Colts Keenan Allen who talks about his process as an older vet and why he chose Indianapolis as his new home. The Authority of College Football Pete Thamel stops by to discuss the 5 for 5 ruling and players on NFL squads heading back to college for their fifth year; Buccaneers Nose Tackle Vita Vea joins the boys a day after signing a 1-year, $30M extension to keep him in Tampa Bay for the next two seasons; Jr NFL Insider Ian Rapoport joins the show from Nantucket to discuss his relationship with Sr NFL Insider Adam Schefter, possible moves that could be made by the Texans, and every thing else around the league; lastly, College Gameday Host Rece Davis adds his thoughts on the 5 for 5 ruling for college football, NIL, and his favorite for the upcoming college season.
