When karma decides to smile on you, she really smiles. From the early moments of this tournament when UVA was trailing it's 16 seed (again!), until the last little bit of good grace (a fingertip!). Andy Pollin stayed up late, and we discussed the Final Four, replay, the state of college hoops, and the endless futility of Crash Davis.

This was a perfect storm on Saturday night. A close (but legit) foul on a dead-eye shooter, a missed violation that even the courtside announcers didn't initially recognize, and icewater veins to sink three winning free throws with the world watching and 0.6 on the clock. Wow. What a "guy!" Final Four recap with "Mr. X" and Texas Tech comin' in "Guns Up" for history. The first ever Women's Amateur at Augusta, Greek Freak, Aaron the Diva, and how about some "Idiots Justice" for that WWE fan who attacked Bret Hart?

The unstoppable Steven A. Smith is cruising toward a record payday from the Worldwide Leader. What made him "indispensable" and how did he resurrect his career from the ashes? Mike McCarthy continues to be a delusional tool. Chris Cooley has a DIY project story from hell. My Hoosier buddy Ron Thomas talks college hoops and more. All that plus the the thumb drive of Chinese malware and more.

A sixteen year mostly-pointless walk in the NBA woods with Ernie Grunfeld (former New York Knickerbocker, certified league dinosaur) has finally, mercifully come to an end. The AAF folds. Notorious J-A-Y on Jussie and Chris Rock, Baltimore corruption, Nipsey Hustle. Comparing Duke-Kentucky '92 and UVA-Purdue: tale of the tape style. Plus F*** T*** G**!

Bryce Harper is all smiles and fancy handshakes after 3 games and two massive bombs (with a borrowed bat) in Philadelphia. Now he comes back to D.C. Should be fun. I think I'll find hating him, alot easier than I thought it would be! ANDY POLLIN joins me to discuss the Final Four, the Harper/Lerner negotiations, and the band of scrubs the Redskins keep giving tryouts to. All that, plus Stewie, was dead on right.

Forget 1-11, all Tom Izzo and Michigan State wanted Sunday was to be 1-0 against Duke. Mission accomplished and it's on to the Final Four. Was UVA-Purdue the "Greatest Tournament Game Ever?" Playing 3rd base in blackjack. Protect your voice, protect your Vegas "superpower." Stupid new "Tied" terminology. Replay. Sergio. Thanks to the MGM!

Host Steve Czaban is joined by Ron Thomas (former University of Maryland D1 golfer), Jon Guhl (CEO of the Middle Atlantic PGA) and John Ronis (Director of Instruction at the Ronis Academy in Northern Virginia) to discuss the latest topics in the world of golf. Subjects include Rory's win at TPC and why he's so likable. The Jon Rahm decision making meldown with his caddy. Tiger, Version 4.0 and how refreshing it is. Plus the tough winter of rules snafus on tour, the end of Matt Kuchar's caddygate, and segment on Golfdom's state of the art fitting studios and new weapons for 2019!

So it turns out the "Big Baller Brand" shoe company experiment is going even worse than anyone could imagine, as baby ball, is at odds with big papa ball over a crooked associate who may have slinked away with $1.5M of the kid's money. Notorious J-A-Y updates us on his "game time decision" on CzabeVegas, and then runs the gauntlet of NCAA Tournament Jeopardy. All of that, plus the sheer idiocy of Michael Avenatti.

It shouldn't be a hard decision on the Hall of Fame with Gronk someday, but you never truly know with the asshat writers who control that process. He only played 9 years, was hurt during much of it, but my god when he did suit up.... look out! Chris Cooley reveals the most deceiving thing about big ol' 87 and also breaks down who he likes at QB in the NFL Draft. Andy Pollin is a double-shot guest today and we talk tournament and college coaching meltdowns, along with the Redskins now being listed as THE longest Vegas odds to win the SB.

Tom Izzo stirred up the perfect sports radio shitstorm of hot-takes and media-one-upsmanship with each other late last week. "Oh yeah.. .well I COACHED YMCA once!" I have a very waffling take on Izzo. You'll hear it inside this episode. But we start with Duke, Mt. Zion, Tacko Fall, and everybody's armchair refereeing of the final minute of that game. We'll talk perfect brackets, and whether or not one can successfully "fade themselves" when the cold streak comes. All that, plus an earbud review.
