CzabeCast

Once upon a time, I had some high school friends who just stopped going to Vegas. Pity. Because I look forward to going out there for the tournament every spring. Of course, life and work, and all of that stuff can get in the way of your best laid plans. But in the end, there's an imperative that the "show must go on!" Wingman Gitter joins me to discuss the "Over-Rated/Under-Rated" activities in Sin City. And my dad shares with me how he tries to find the best blackjack tables in town in hopes of "taking down the house!"

So much for Bryce Harper being the "highest paid player in MLB history." He had the dubious "record" for all of like 11 days. Meanwhile, the Trout deal proves that it MLB owners will still pay gagillions for the RIGHT player. Harper and Machado just weren't "that dude." Andy Pollin joins me to talk tournament, Maryland hoops, odd quirks of how the tourney used to be, and the college recruiting scandal. All of that, plus a behind the scenes on how "Gargantubracket" was born.

Along with sports and music thrown in as well. It's an odd concept, and one that needs a disclaimer: guys can be even bigger assholes, so let's not get our panties in a bunch! We talk Zion Williamson, and if he's the "most likable" Dukie ever. If such a thing exists. Also Tyreke Hill, and the meaning of the term "Stan".

Gee, guess what's in today's CzabeCast? A recap of Rory at the Players? Ha! Not even me, a complete Rory-stan, is gonna waste your time with that noise.... today. (Okay, maybe tomorrow...) Instead, I've got the real real story behind "Come on and Watch Some Basketball" as well as my first draft bracket. Which totally sucks, and will be replaced with a more thoroughly researched bracket... which will suck even harder. Welcome to March, people. It's the best!

I always like it when people I know - or have worked with - end up doing insanely great and fun things in life. Well... my man Gary is livin' the dream! Once just a caller(!) to my radio show when I lived in Chicago, he's now a huge part of the Golf Channel's on-air lineup. We talk about today's new generation of Tour player, Tiger's 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 software, and the difference between good jock golfers and tour pros. All of that, plus a thought on the Odell Beckham Jr. trade and more fallout/details from "Operation Varsity Blues." 

Some stories, have it all. This one "Operation Varsity Blues" has it all. Overzealous parents, privilege, corrupt and/or incompetent university oversight, greedy and shady test admins and non-revenue sport coaches. And... celebrities. Boom. Perfect storm. Notorious J-A-Y joins me to discuss it all, plus the bombshell OBJ trade, Westbrook vs. The Fan, and more.

I pay a visit to NBC Sports Radio and my boys Tim Murray and Michael Jenkins to talk all things gambling, their new radio show, and our experiences in Las Vegas. I also weigh in on the Redskins big splash signing of Landon Collins. How ugly would it look if we fought both Russian and China in WWIII? "Not great, Bob. Not great." Ranch dressing in a creek. Scorpions on a plane.

If you would have predicted in August, that Antonio Brown would lead the league in TDs and also get thrown away for a 3rd and a 5th by March, the paddywagon with the straightjackets would have drove up to your fantasy league draft party. But here we are. How the Steelers botched this thing, 8-ways to Sunday. Other topics today include: Marie Kondo, the Sony A7III, NCAA Selection Show, superhero movies, and Mark Zuckerberg's real life game of chutes and ladders.

Baseball appears to be on the verge of making the biggest rule change since the DH. But have they thought it through? Kyler Murray might be a little bit douchey. Minority Report pre-crime is becoming real. Don't try to steal ATMs. Mr. X discusses craps, calcuttas, and more.

Who woulda thunk that one of this generations's finest actors - Will Smith - would find backlash in playing Richard Williams - father of tennis phenoms Venus and Serena - because of.... (checks notes) SKIN COLOR?! Yup. Apparently that's happening, but luckily Notorious J-A-Y helps this poor middle class white boy from the burbs understand. We also talk Pete Davidson, Kyrie and Kylie, NFL combine and a rousing FTG!
