Czabe talks again about the incredible finish to the WBC, with baseball-crazed Venezuela, down on their political fortunes, ousting the USA in a tight finish. What can make this decidedly imperfect event even better going forward? Dick Vitale and Charles Barkley make a basketball game into a (bad) podcast. Barkley doesn't understand anything about NIL and anti-trust. PAUL CHARCHIAN swings by to ask Czabe "10 Important Questions" about concerts, sports and Vegas. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes CHRIS KNOCHE and MR. X to The Palm steakhouse in Tysons Corner, VA to talk about the latest in college basketball and beyond. What would an expanded tournament look like, even though nobody is talking about it? The Bruce Pearl and "nepotism" argument. Teams to shade, teams that might surprise. The Atlantic stakes one of their writers to a $10,000 bankroll to see if he can win betting the NFL. It went just about like you thought it would. MORE....

Czabe welcomes BRIAN BUTCH and ARMEN SARYAN to the pod to go deeper into the March Madness brackets. What are "fade points" of the top seeds? What matters more? Good coach? NBA lottery pick? Solid point guard? Bracket nuggets and trends. NBA looking toward expansion. Sonics to get their history back? The population "bomb" was a dud. Just admit it. Rethinking my audio standards. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod to discuss the NCAA tournament bracket, Bruce Pearl's non-stop whining, and how the system has been systematically rigged against the (medium) guys. Also, Rick Pitino is a coaching legend, and also a coaching lizard. Can you root for a guy like that? "Ethical hoops" and the nature of Bam Adebayo's 83 vs. the Wizards. Sports radio may have jumped the shark, but do you need to brag about it? The rise of Fanta and Larry David's 3rd echo of Seinfeld like humor. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the show, fresh off the golf course, where he's busy finding out how hard (but fun!) the game can be. They talk about the shocking reversal by Eric DeCosta and the Ravens on the Maxx Crosby deal, and also how badly Mark DeRosa screwed up the World Baseball Classic. Plus Charch again flexes his man card skills talking about re-wiring his ATV to be street legal. Also Czabe bodybags the stupid Bam Adebayo non-record "record" that is as fake as the astroturf on your grandma's porch. MORE....

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to the show to talk movies, Oscars, and the sad decline of Cinderella and the magic of Selection Sunday in the NCAA. Meanwhile, the NBA has cancelled "strip club night" in Atlanta. A Czech electrician is the feel-good story of the WBC. Another massive marathon screw-up has happened. And Urban Meyer could really recruit future murderers. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes back ol' running mate BRIAN BUTCH, and is shocked to hear him spout a very "establishment" take when it comes to the P5 conferences vs. everyone else. Free agency in the NFL is off to a "crackalackin'" start, even though some teams need to put in an insane asylum for their choices at QB. MORE....

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN on a Monday, to start NFL free agency and discuss March Madness as well. President Trump's "Saving College Sports" roundtable was mostly PR and optics. But that said, something has to give, before schools go broke. Hooray for Daylight Savings Time! Celebrate Miami of Ohio, don't rip them. Remembering the JetSkins. Andy was dead ass wrong about something, and a listener lets him have it with both barrels. MORE.....
