CzabeCast

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN as the NFL deals with a shocking — and embarrassing — wildcard story of Niners owner Jed York getting busted for soliciting a $140 prostitute in Ohio. But is it worse than Vrabel with Russini? What will the league do? Probably nothing. The Browns have named Deshaun Watson their Week 1 starter, and Czabe sees *some* (but not much) logic to it. Dan Snyder is a forgotten man, in another land, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving asshole. The shield was behind Mike Tirico getting cock-blocked from the original Thursday Night Football in favor of "Over The Hill Al," and what happens IF the league needs network TV more than the other way around?

Poor Todd Monken, he's going to be a shell-shocked mess by Thanksgiving at this rate. Deshaun Watson gets caught up in his feels about being booed. I guess the guy never watches his own film, because he fucking sucks. Shedeur might suck even more, but I guess we're going to find out. Czabe goes solo on a busy Monday, as we are at "Week Zero" in college football, where it's now beyond the wild west with players portalling BACK INTO college after being cut by NFL teams. Nutso! A young baseball fan loses her entire purse, but hangs onto the home run ball. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes Fantasy World's PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the usual wide swath of notable topics. Charch reminds people "we back up" on his podcast and fantasy work. The NFL wants teams in Europe, but there's a problem I don't think can get solved. ZZ Top drummer dies. The argument about "schlock" songs vs. "their good stuff." Real sports should do "fantasy punishments." MORE....

Czabe welcomes back MATT MUELLER, aka. "A Man About Film" to discuss a variety of his passions, including this magical Brewers season, the Miz phenomenon, and what would be the biggest disaster possible once October arrives. Also, the Dodgers' financial world is unraveling; what does that mean for a possible lockout? The Field of Dreams Game got shit ratings. Will Netflix ever truly be a destination for live sports? Matt Damon's weird career, and a quickie review of the Odyssey. MORE...

Czabe gives longtime co-host, mentor, and friend ANDY POLLIN his just desserts for a massive career in DC sports radio, as the two recount the many great guests and episodes they had doing "The Sports Reporters." The Jayden Daniels #5 thing has jumped contain and gone viral, but what is the ultimate lesson to be learned here? Pat McAfee puts out an album. Better than Shaq's rap albums, but not as good as Terry Bradshaw's country discs. MORE.....

Czabe welcomes back MR. X to the pod, as it's been a while. It was a tough summer for him, as he lost his father. But I get the "Growing Up X" backstory, including how he was on a youth soccer team that ran the table on everybody in Northern Virginia. We talk about baseball, and the looking shutdown after the season. The Skubal trade and if it made sense. What lit a spark under the Red Sox, and are there similarities to the 2003 Marlins. Who knows who is good in college football with all of the NIL mayhem? Mike Trout's "Red Wedding" golf outing at the trade deadline. To Survive or Not to Survive, that is the question. MORE....

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN from Fantasy Football World to talk about the usual wide range of topics. Including Kyler Murray winning the QB1 job in Minnesota, Claude's decision to watermark all their AI-written output to deter cheaters, fantasy emasculation, Red Flag keepaway, Ross Tucker, the Stench of Russini, what happened to Chris Berman's ass, and much more.

Czabe interviews a guy who made it out of drab Human Resources and is now a fixture covering the Green Bay Packers, Andy Herman. How he did it, and what he learned along the way. The new Highmark Field is getting low marks for seat obstructions and tinytrons, not jumbotrons. Their "Nickel City" alt's aren't doin' great either. The Fall Guy calls it a career. New Fantasy Punishment. Kapernick show. Plus listener feedback and #elitetweets. MORE....

The Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend is in the books, but not before just the 3rd kicker inducted into the Hall, Adam Vinitieri, decided to dunk on his former coach in New England's face with several searing one-liners. The bigger problem with the HOF induction process. Sophie Cunningham gets clotheslined, and yet her own coach defended the player who did it! Now two ex-NBA players threaten to call the W's bluff on transgender players. You can't just flag down a 737 like it's an Uber. Phillies "superfan" pays big money just to call one inning of baseball on TV. Akron's viral play-calling promotion. #EliteTweets and listener feedback. MORE....

Czabe recounts his jam-packed day of adult man-fun with Josh Albrecht, Eric Gitter, and Bryan Wolf in Milwaukee. It was fun to see the roles reversed on who sucks, and who is good in the two different sports. Christian Yelich is hard to watch at the plate right now, but imagine how hard it is for guys who were former apex predator-caliber athletes to simply stink at their sport? We learn about the Wisconsin State Fair and what a " Sporkie " is as Josh admits his wife is more into the crazy foods than he is. Plus, LIV 2.0 is a "go" (we think) but it's more like a move into hospice care, for a bad idea, that was never ever going to make money. MORE....
