Very personal thread and prayer request incoming:

[Gabby Shirley @Gabby_Shirley_]

FINAL: 8-3 Tampa Bay Lightning

in case you are also having trouble keeping track …

• Carlson had a 5 point game for the first time in his NHL career + he recorded his 800th NHL point

• Kucherov and Guentzel both had 4 point games

• O’Reilly recorded a point in his NHL debut

PAY KUCH ALL THE FREAKING MONEY YOU CLOWNS

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

Beg Kuch for forgiveness. Give him a blank check. FIX THIS.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

Man...imagine having such an elite talent and not giving him a contract extension so he gets to leave in free agency. Can't even imagine something like that happening

[Evan Closky @ECloskyWTSP]

Nikita Kucherov is so damn good.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

Interesting...

[Pete @thefilmwatcher_]

Made a breakdown of this move! Even found an example of it working despite the tackle dodging Simmons! It’s so effective - no way it doesn’t get called soon

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

@Gabby_Shirley_ @ajohnny_09 That's what I figured. I swear, every time I see the Lightning in Columbus it's on the back half of a back-to-back and it's never Vasy in net😂

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

My seventh - and probably final time - seeing @littlefeattweet in concert. What a way to go out. One hell of a show. Gonna miss these guys.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

@MadDogBucs76 Not unbelievable at all. They're not contenders, so no sense in using draft capital for someone right now. Didn't expect them to bring anyone in and the only one I thought they would potentially send out was Godwin

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

@Marcus_Mosher

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

I don't know what's more surprising - the Colts refusing to trade Taylor or a team giving up a 4th and 5th for Downs

[Tom Pelissero @TomPelissero]

Trade! The Chiefs are acquiring WR Josh Downs and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Colts for 2027 fourth-round and fifth-round picks, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Kansas City lands a receiver at the buzzer, while Indianapolis keeps loading up for the future.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

Like @ECloskyWTSP said on the show, if Coen can't get anything out of him, he's probably not doing much anywhere else either

[Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN]

The Jaguars plan to keep WR Brian Thomas Jr. through the trade deadline, per sources. They have relayed that to interested teams.

Coming off multiple big trades Monday, Jacksonville plans to keep its roster intact, barring a surprise.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

@BrianSmitty1715 I don't think they're trading Vita at all. If they were, it would've been over the summer. I'm thinking it'll be to trade someone away, not acquire someone. Godwin to the Rams makes a ton of sense

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

The Bucs are for sure going to make a trade today and it'll happen after 3:00 based simply on my own personal schedule. Why? Let's take a look back;

Vea trade demand: was walking out the door to my wife's birthday dinner, couldn't do a show

Baker extension: was out of town for a concert that I bought tickets for 6 months prior, couldn't do a show

Today? Going to a concert again. Had the tickets for 8 months, won't be able to do a show.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

11/9/2026. The day college football officially died.

[ESPN @espn]

Breaking: The College Football Playoff and ESPN have signed a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told @CFBHeather.

[Timo Riske @Timo_NFL]

Is the Bucs defense for real? It's not only turnovers, they also rank second in series conversion rate allowed.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

WOW

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Trade: Falcons are sending former Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 2nd-round pick and a 2028 5th-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

@TBTrojan @schroepnuts Yes, the head coach is in charge of everything - but he's the one designing and calling the defense. So that is his side of the ball. Just like how offensive minded head coaches don't meddle in the defense. But yes, the success of the team overall is his responsibility

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

Which team has worse kicker luck?

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

@KingCrabLeggs I wasn't there

[James Yarcho @JYarcho_BUCS]

You can't put that on Todd. FG at the end of the half was the right call. And with the defense playing the way it was, you have to take points. Says more about his confidence in the offensive play calling/execution to not be able to pick up the yards needed. It's the same problems every week.

[Marcus Mosher @Marcus_Mosher]

The Bucs might get 5 takeaways in this game and still lose because Todd Bowles keeps kicking short FGs.

It’s just unreal to watch in real time!
