Sunday night football in Tampa but after the Bucs jumped out to an early 14-0 lead. all attention was focused on Tropicana Field as the Rays were in the process of defeating Boston to reach the World Series. This was also Mike Alstott’s retirement ceremony, something I was proud to have been a small part of.
