CzabeCast

Czabe begins by pointing out the NFL's shameless disregard for integrity by leaving their options open regarding the outcome of Steelers vs. Texans. The state of officiating in the NFL is pretty bad. Even if the actual refs are really good. SCOTT DOLPHIN gets his victory lap, and all Bears wins from here on out are pure gravy. The "Pack Nutz" group of ERIC GITTER, JASON OTTUM, and BRYAN WOLF discuss the merits of firing Matt LaFleur. Ben Johnson has reinvigorated the rivalry with his "F the Packers!" screams in the locker room. LeBron's special jersey patch. Portal Madness. Stat of the Day. MORE.....

Super Wildcard Weekend 2026 absolutely delivered with a 5-pack of close exciting games. ANDY POLLIN joins to break down the storylines. Did the Panthers "prevent" themselves from an upset? Should Matt LaFluer be fired for his 2nd half meltdown? What's going on with Romo? The Niners are one tough ass team. Andy has little use for the sit-down network fluff interviews. "Business Decisions" and my case against Herbstreit. MORE....

Czabe talks about the latest bit of NIL and portal absurdity: UW QB walking away from a 4-day old signed contract to join LSU. The whole thing is a runaway freight train, and nobody can find the brakes. A few thoughts on the Irsay Girls in Indy. Should they be "pissed" about an unfortunate collapse? How do you shoot 1-23 for an entire half of college basketball? FM 106's SHANNA QUINN talks Buffalo Bills and what it's like growing up a lifelong Buffalonian. Is she nervous for Sunday, and will the new stadium still have the beating soul of the old concrete dump. Cooper DeJean is living his best life. You old as fuck. Mad Dog is in the club, and I ain't. The A's trademark gets boosted. Very on brand. MORE....

Czabe is joined by MR X to talk NFL and more. John Harbaugh out in Baltimore. The fishy "expedited review" in Pittsburgh. How technical do you want to get? A flag in every pocket, the league in every ear. What is the best "open job" right now? Did we nail it or not, in the pre-season? Super Wildcard Weekend. Can, Suprised, Shocked, and Won't. Mr X retiring? MORE....

Czabe welcomes a trio of guests today, starting with ERIC GITTER and BRYAN WOLF, who explain why they have no enthusiasm for travelling south to Soldier Field for just the second-ever playoff meetings between the Packers and Bears in the modern NFL era. The Jets have basically given up. Melissa Stark can't read the room. Trevor Lawrence is loved by his team, and now has a bling-bling smile. Black Monday claims some more coaches. Are the Vikings sold on J.J. McCarthy? K-Balls, Trackman, and the rise of deep bomb kickers like Cam Little. The NFL's playoff seeding used to be much worse than it is now. MORE....

Sometimes the NFL is so good, so amazing, you would otherwise swear it's scripted. The Steelers and Ravens staged a classic in Game 272, with a double-twist at the end which left fans gobsmacked, and Rodgers still standing - at least for one more game. Czabe walks through the wreckage of an otherwise bleak Week 18 slate, full of statistical oddities and the first coach firing already on the board. Plus the odds to win it all, and the TV schedule for Super WildCard Weekend! Then ANDY POLLIN joins me with son JEREMY POLLIN to recap how glorious (and wet) it was going to the Rose Bowl to see Indiana stomp out Alabama. Is the SEC a ponzi scheme? What if Kurt Cignetti is like the Carrie Underwood of college coaches. Plus, the continued sad state of journalism and sports media. Czabe gets weather nerdy about the DC region's final 2025 numbers. MORE.....

Czabe runs out the clock on 2025 in style, with a 53-minute solo masterpiece, the kind of podcast excellence you have come to expect from him. John Calipari is spitting hot nails of truth, but he's very off point in one regard. The greatest catch that wasn't. Joe and Troy are absolutely cooking right now. It's been a weird year for QB's. Draymond Green needs to shut up about the Christmas NBA. Nate Bargatze is all of us! MORE....

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN, who needs advice on how to teach his non-golfing wife how to golf. Even though he sucks too! Advice for moving to a "warm Christmas" state. The 49ers are the T2000 Terminator. They just keep coming. Aaron Rodgers sucked on Sunday, and a 14-year-old kid in his basement did the full tape breakdown. Could Malik Willis become the next "Vegas QB Wedding" victim of a short sample size? They remade the "Battle of the Sexes," and it once again pissed off feminists. MORE . . .

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to discuss this hypothetical. Also in there, Mike Tomlin doing Tomlin things again, the case for firing objectively good coaches, some statistical nuggets from Week 17, was the Phil Rivers experiment a heartwarming little episode, or a waste of time? Jeff Pearlman should know his phone is not his therapist. RIP to Brigitte Bardot. MORE.....

Czabe has slipped this little Christmas gem into your podcast feeds today. ARMEN SARYAN and MATT MUELLER talk about the iconic Home Alone movie, which has way more Christmas in it than Czabe previously admitted. Some say there's a Jesus "cameo" of sorts in the movie. We'll explain, you be the judge. Also, what was American Airlines thinking, spending sponsor money just to have the movie script make them look bad!? A lovely 30-minute deep dive into a Christmas movie classic! Merry Christmas!
