The Blitz – Southwest Florida Edition
📅 Tuesday | 7:00–7:35 PM ET
High school football is buzzing across Southwest Florida. Vinnie Portell, the newest sports reporter at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, joins us to talk about his role, early storylines, and what he’s seeing as the season approaches.
We’ll open with The Blitz Lines — the latest headlines from the region. Then we’ll move into The Interview with Vinnie, before closing with The Pick Six, where we’ll pick six games from Charlotte, Collier, Lee, Sarasota, Manatee, Highlands, DeSoto, Glades, Hardee & Hendry counties.
