CzabeCast

Hard to believe a cable channel owned and operated and devoted to the most popular sports in America would become a beast of burden. But alas, here we are. The NFL was happy to dump NFL Network into ESPN's lap, and guest MARTY CONWAY, professor of sports business and marketing comes on to explain exactly how. Meanwhile, Jon Gruden and Brian Flores are entering the RedZone on their potentially damaging lawsuits against The Shield. Male cheerleaders ain't new, but what about dance team members? Adults at Disney on the rise. MORE . . .

The (rubber) hammer came down on Michigan last week, and predictably, nobody is happy. Even though they'll never live down the "Scarlet C" for the 2023 Natty, the Wolverine faithful can at least keep their t-shirts and coffee mugs. ANDY POLLIN joins the podcast, as we discuss a new low of WTF from ESPN the "WorldWide Leader" in increasing stupidity. Also "congrats" here's 2/3 of a new Toyota. MORE.....

Czabe is back off his deathbed (SAWFT) and welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the show. The boys talk about how awful the Pohlad Family is in Minnesota and how they are not going anywhere, nearly shooting your eye out with a BB gun, fantasy football August storylines developing, why golf is great, and how Rice Krispies treats are what elite athletes eat.**sometimes

CzabeCast for Monday August 11, 2025

Czabe is back in studio, sounding crystal clear, and ready to rip on a number of juicy stories in sports. Starting with the continued idiocy of Gilbert Arenas getting busted for running illegal poker games. Then to the details on Marcus Morris and his bad checks/markers in Vegas. And then the inevitable dumping of Shannon Sharpe by ESPN. Also, Sophie Cunningham has Caitlyn Clark's back. Mark Schlereth tries to stuff the NFL numbers "nerds" into a locker. And it was a bad week for the WNBA when it comes to wigs and dildos. MORE.....

The CTE Bogeyman is poised for another stupid comeback. Tony Pettiti wants a "Play-In" college football weekend, with a guaranteed 4-4-2-2-1-3 model. Let's pray it never happens. Sydney Sweeney is apparently a Nazi. Still... *would.* Never fight. Ever. Run, instead. The ultra-woke left knows no limits on crazy. Odds of making the NFL. Musk tunnelling under Nashville. RIP Ryne Sandberg. Un-self-aware social media accounts. Are the A's really *building* a new stadium, or just pretending? Luca Doncic is ripped! Mom with the buzzer-beater insult to daughter. MORE.....

Christian Wilkins cut by the Raiders over "bizarre incident". Homophobia apparently is not dead in the NFL. Emmanuel Clase lands on the MLB's gambling investigation list. Prime Time beats bladder cancer. Shout out to the versatile hottie, The Big Unit, Hannah Waddingham. Bryce Harper stares down The Commish. "Resetting your girl's router." Aaron Rodgers with a great answer on Bradshaw, but still playing it coy on his wife. Walk off tweet. MORE....

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN as he is back from his weekend of golf at Erin Hills in Wisconsin with his no-account middle-aged buddies. They talk about Hulk Hogan and Ozzy, and of course, Andy only knows them from "other things" they did after they were already famous. NFL training camps are already getting dicey and spicy. Does it even make sense to track Dylan Gabriel, Kenny Pickett, Sheduer Sanders and Joe Flacco in practice? Memories of the old absurd days of Dan Snyder-led training camps, selling parking, t-shirts, and sno-cones. And most importantly, if a single baseball writer is on the wrong side of a unanimous HOF vote, maybe they should take his vote away. MORE....

Czabe rides solo today and celebrates the incomparable story arc and life of one John Michael Osbourne. RIP, Ozzy! Why he became a mainstream pop culture icon. NFL players are running into the paywall as camps open up. Why the franchise tag continues to be the worst thing that ever happened to the union. The odds of "Redskins" making a return have never been higher, but are they actually high to begin with? College coaches are sniping each other and it's not even August! Czabe awaits his Masters lottery fate. The Stephen Colbert cope is off the charts. South Park creators hit the motherlode. MORE....

Pity the poor Cowboy fan. Doomed to loud and sometimes comical failure by an octagenerian who still thinks he's the smartest man in pro football. SCOTT LINN and STEVE SOLOMON join me a on rare Tuesday where you get the OG's for FREE this week! We talk NFL news cycle ramping up, Mike Brown's big ol' Charlie Brown head, "bald bias" in media and advertising, Steelers throwbacks, therapy piano horses and a whole lot more! Enjoy!
