Winner and Loser of the week in Tampa Bay

Winner — Steven Stamkos: Not only does the captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning know his way around the ice, but he seems to have a knack for real estate as well. He sold his waterfront home on Davis Island for $16 million, then found new digs in the same neighborhood for $8.5 million.

Loser — Vaccine protesters: Despite overwhelming evidence vaccinations are the best way to combat COVID-19, anti-vaxers held a rally in downtown Tampa last week to protest Mayor Jane Castor’s requirement that the city’s 4,700 employees get vaccinated by Sept. 30.

Those declining the shot must file for an exemption.
