CzabeCast

Czabe brings aboard ERIC GITTER to atone for his utter jinxing of the Bears/Packers game by calling "D-A-G-G-E-R" too early. PAUL CHARCHIAN joins the fray to discuss DK Metcalf's expensive punch of a blue haired Lions idiot. Why are refs calling so many penalties? The latest on Paul's purple misery on J.J. McCarthy. Gary Meyers had the Giants ultimate "trade down" plan. Problem is, they'll probably not lose to the Raiders anyway. The Chiefs are moving across the river. Soon, the entire AFC West will be indoor football. Should outdoor stadiums be preserved at all costs? How Charch's daughter solved the Santa Claus case. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes his boy MARK SPENCER (Spence-O-Matic) to the podcast to discuss his beloved Jaguars, who have now put themselves on everybody's radar with a massive win over Denver at Mile High. Spence explains why their head coach came in piss hot to the job, and how he's meshing with franchise QB Trevor Lawrence. They also discuss why Jacksonville is so prickly about "market size bashing" and I find out an interesting little fact about Sean Payton and New Orleans. Also the boys talk some Oklahoma football, and how they avoided becoming Nebraska. Where is the college game headed, and how expensive will portal QB's actual be in the future. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to recap Week 16 in the NFL, starting with the wild zebra conference at the end of Lions v. Steelers. WFAN eliminates its iconic 20-20 tickers. The FanDuel Networks might go dark mid-NBA season. AI-written "game stories" are a complete and utter joke. Ed Cooley got suspended for throwing a water bottle. The Bears stun the Packers in a manner similar to the 2014 NFC Championship Game. The Commanders are running out of QB's. How come Burrow is playing (and balling) and Daniels is being placed in bubble wrap? Tom Brady is bitter. Worst Netflix NFL Christmas ever! MORE....

Czabe enjoys a Power Lunch at the Palm in Tysons Corner, VA with "Mr. X" and Steve Buckhantz. Sadly neither one of them saw the absurd sequence of kid glove calls Bron got at the end of the Suns/Lakers game. And he still should have been suspended for pushing a ref. But hey, the league has been co-opted by LeBron and his minions. Also Josh Hart gooses Jalen Brunson. Fair play on a funny prank, or out of bounds humor? What does Buckhantz do while sitting on the beach? Two minute warning, or two minute timeout? Replay still really sucks. Why the weather person always asks a question before tossing to break. MORE.....

Czabe delivers a killer double-shot today, with guests SCOTT DOLPHIN from FM106 in Milwaukee plus PAUL CHARCHIAN. Dolph talks Bears v. Packers with Czabe, and reminisces about the two rivalry games they saw together. Caleb Williams unintentionally recreated the iconic Joe Montana to Clark TD pass, but even more rizz. The origin of the "Good Better Best" chant by Ben Johnson. Dolph sings "Bear Down." Charch meanwhile laments the fact that he doesn't own a $120,000 personal flying quadcopter. Czabe just says: "Ah, you'll shoot your eye out." (i.e. kill yourself!) Then Czabe peppers Charch with 20 NFL questions as we head to the home stretch. MORE....

BREAKING: Patrick Mahomes suffers season-ending torn ACL in devastating Week 15 loss to the Chargers. The injury eliminates Kansas City from playoff contention and marks a historic turning point for the NFL — for the first time since 1998, the playoffs will feature no Tom Brady, no Peyton Manning, and no Patrick Mahomes.

Czabe and ANDY POLLIN break down the ruinous Week 15 results that crushed both the Chiefs and Packers' postseason hopes. Even though Green Bay remains mathematically alive, Kansas City's dynasty is officially dead. What does the NFL look like without its elite quarterback safety net?

Plus: Shedeur Sanders goes ice cold in Chicago's brutal conditions. Philip Rivers (yes, Ol' Man Rivers) delivers a surprisingly solid performance. Sherrone Moore faces his first courtroom battle (with many more likely coming). Diego Pavia's embarrassing sideline meltdown. Fernando Mendoza - the lovable dork who might actually be an NFL-caliber QB. And the Army-Navy game delivers inspiration once again.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod for his weekly chop-em-up. What does the Colts calling Philip Rivers off the couch "say" about the NFL? The boys have wildly different views. A sidetrip down what constitutes the "Hall of Fame." Czabe revisits a painful but iconic play that went against Charch's Vikings when he was a young boy. Travis Kelce was once a dork, and loved dating the sistas! Where's Taylor? Kata Mara, Miranda Lambert, and concert stereotypes you hate. MORE....

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER - a "man about film" along with ERIC GITTER to discuss the Netflix news and what it *might* mean to the future of movies (spoiler: the good guy dies. Shhhh...). They also get into what else, the college football playoffs, and the lying ass committee. My podcast guru CHRIS BROUSSARD (no, not that guy) joins us, and as a father with 2 sons who went to Notre Dame, he was ready to stuff me into a locker! Also Jalen Hurts has 2 TO's on one play. Justin Herbert is rude to a pretty girl. Why did Bad Beats skip the Raider game? MORE....

Czabe welcomes MR X to the pod, as they go through some of the idiotic decisions, brutally bad instant replay calls, laughable "concussion awareness protocol" in the NFL and more. Also Mr. X weighs in on the Selection Committee. Czabe points out how what they are trying to do is actually impossible. Also replay is the *cause* of so many of these stupid rules. The Raiders bad beat. Portnoy goes too far. Fire Kevin Stefanski. Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy snubbed. MORE....
