Join Patrick Hyland and Scott in the Sports Zone for a fiery Sunday morning straight from Tampa Bay! Rain or shine, we're diving deep into what's wrong with pro sports: skyrocketing ticket prices making games unaffordable for families, MLB's wild spending (Dodgers splashing cash like water while small-market teams struggle), the Rays' new ownership and stadium drama (taxpayer-funded deals without votes?), NFL referee blunders, quarterback "protection" rules gone too far, and why public fields sit empty while locals get shut out. We preview wild NFL playoff matchups (Bears vs. Rams in the cold, Texans' defense vs. Patriots), reminisce on classic games, shout out first responders & military, and keep it real with laughs, listener calls, and that classic Tampa passion. Call in next time at 877-969-8600! Watch/listen on YouTube @SportsZoneTampa. #TampaBaySports #SportsZone

Patrick Hyland Unfiltered: Billionaires vs. Taxpayers, Bad Refs, & Why Sports Got Too Expensive

Buckle up for The Sports Zone Tampa with Patrick Highland—Tampa Bay's rowdiest Sunday sports talk! Join Patrick, Scott, and Josh as they dive headfirst into Super Bowl madness: Bad Bunny's halftime takeover (will you flip to the "other" show or just grab a beer?), epic prop bets (Drake Maye rushing yards? Field goals galore?), and why the biggest game day is also the biggest betting (and domestic drama) day. Laugh along as they roast stadium tax schemes, celebrate that freezing Tampa hockey outdoor classic, salute the troops/police/teachers, and debate if sports really build character... or just excuses to yell at the TV.

From "Born in the USA" hypotheticals that'd make heads explode to real talk on gambling addiction and why we miss Tom Brady's star power—this is unfiltered, hilarious, common-sense sports chat. Call in live: 813-289-1860 (Hillsborough) or toll-free 877-969-8600. New podcast episodes dropping Saturdays too—perfect for pre-game vibes!

No politics (unless it's funny), all football, all fun. Bet responsibly... or don't, we won't judge (much).
