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
