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

Game Day Breakdown: Hurricanes, NFL Matchups & Sunday Predictions with Patrick Highland

It’s a brand-new year, and Patrick Highland and Sports Zone are starting it off with an in-depth football discussion that fans won’t want to miss. The show will take a close look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ impressive and timely win, breaking down the key plays, standout performances, and how that victory has kept their playoff hopes alive heading into the final stretch of the season. With postseason implications on the line, attention then shifts to today’s critical matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. This game could decide everything—if the Saints fall to the Falcons, the door opens for the Buccaneers to secure a spot in the playoffs, but if the Saints come away with a win, Tampa Bay will be left on the outside looking in. Patrick Highland and Sports Zone will analyze every possible scenario, what it means for each team, and how the pressure could impact performance on the field. In addition to the NFL playoff race, the show will also recap the college football action from Saturday, highlighting major results, surprise outcomes, and standout players who made an impact. To round out the episode, Patrick will share predictions for today’s slate of NFL games, offering insight, analysis, and bold takes as the new year begins and the road to the playoffs becomes clearer.

New Year, High Stakes: Buccaneers’ Big Win, Saints–Falcons Showdown, and Full NFL & College Football Breakdown

Strap in, sports degenerates—welcome to the Sports Zone with Patrick Hyland, where we rant about Baker Mayfield's "magic" (or lack thereof), debate if the Bucs can sneak into the playoffs at 8-9, uncover the shocking truth that pickleball is named after a ball-chasing dog named Pickle 🥒🐶, and drop championship-week fantasy football tips to help you snag that league trophy!

Host Patrick Hyland (rocking his classic “All right, all right, all right!”) teams up with the Levinson bros and producer AJ (secret 4.9 forty guy) to break down Bucs vs. Dolphins chaos, college playoff madness, NFL motivation drama, and why running the ball 30 times feels so 1985. We’ll hit heartfelt random acts of kindness, insurance wisdom, and meat market shoutouts—because balance.

Fantasy Championship Tips from the Zone (Week 17 Edition):
Fire Up Trey McBride (Cardinals TE) – Bengals give up the most TE yards/TDs; he's due for a multi-TD explosion after a clunker.
Start Rhamondre Stevenson (Patriots RB) – TreVeyon Henderson likely out; Jets allow top-10 RB points—volume king for your title run.
Stream Bucs DST – Rookie QB Quinn Ewers making his second start for eliminated Dolphins? Expect sacks, turnovers, and spoiler vibes.
Trevor Lawrence is a must-start QB on his heater—Jags motivated, Colts matchup juicy.
Watch injuries: George Kittle (ankle) unlikely; monitor Lamar Jackson (doubtful). Prioritize motivated teams over tankers!

Passionate about sports (or fantasy domination)? Call in and tell Patrick how you see it. Just don’t blame us if your 8-9 Bucs (or fantasy team) pulls it off. Go Bucs… or Dolphins… or whoever helps your lineup! 🤷‍♂️🏆
