In this conversation,  Steve Czaban and Matt Mueller  discuss the current state of the Green Bay Packers, focusing on injuries, fan sentiment, and the challenges ahead in their season. They also delve into the world of Christmas movies, exploring classic specials, modern films, and the overwhelming choices presented by streaming services. The discussion touches on the cultural significance of film...

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 bot...

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 dat...

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,...

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...

In one of the most improbable coaching feats in sports history, Curt Cignetti has lifted Indiana football to a level that defies belief. Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN and his IU grad JEREMY POLLIN to discuss the miracle witnessed on Saturday night. Also, the Field of 12 is set. There are problems all around. And now Notre Dame is throwing a hissy fit. Whatever. The Commanders get demolished in MInnes...

Czabe welcomes STEVE BUCKHANTZ and CHRIS KNOCHE to the Palm in Tysons for a Power Lunch. They discuss issues like "how powerful really is" agent Jimmy Sexton? And is Nick Saban just the unlikable slimy prick you thought of him before all the winning? Or is Czabe too damn naive to even think otherwise? Knoche talks about the Players Era Invitational in Vegas. Buckhantz hopes his JMU Dukes s...

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the show and they get deep into the nerd weeds on the state of video games. Charch also introduces Czabe to "RiffTrax" and his world is not quite the same anymore. "There's so much room for activities!" The Vikings Max Brosmer should have been told to surrender his helmet and jersey on the spot. Plus they aren't any good at trading lately ei...

Czabe welcomes ERIC GITTER and MATT MUELLER to discuss Lane's messy departure, the big problems facing the 12-team playoff in college football, famous sorta-hot spokeswomen, the Mike Tomlin Air Defense force has been activated, and more.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to chop up an otherwise dud of a Sunday in the NFL Week 13, with the end for Aaron Charles Rodgers looking more and more in sight than ever, as the Bills destroy him and the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Lane Kiffin bolts for LSU, in one of the least suprising moves ever. But good for Ol' Miss to have some balls and tell him to "get out!" Black Friday Doorbuster sp...

Czabe enjoys a "Power Lunch" at the Palm in Tysons Corner, VA with ANDY POLLIN and Georgetown University sports marketing professor MARTY CONWAY to discuss NIL, PE, the NCAA and the NBA. The dollars are flying, and the landscape is changing, and you can wish for things to be like they once were all you want, but it ain't happening. Our Sponsors: * Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my...

Czabe flies solo on a Sunday evening, and did extensive grinding on all the NFL Week 12 games to make up for his gaffe on Friday by omitting the Colts and Chiefs game. The Lions get bailed out by Jahmyr Gibbs, the Vikes have a huge J.J. McCarthy problem, the Bears are 8-3, but are they any good? Shedeur wins his Browns debut. And much more. Plus, a simple answer to the question: "How are you?&...

Czabe delivers a double-header today: ANDY POLLIN and MATT MUELLER (aka: "A Man About Film") to run down a bunch of juicy topics. Spurrier’s Honesty The Daniels Dillema Chainsaw Juggling Next Year’s Already Cooked Shedeur’s Eleven The New Media Landscape Idiots Gonna Idiot College Football Playoff Twenty Four Teams? Superbowl Blowout Era Czabe ALE’s Big Game Waterworld Wasn’t A Flop Moana...

Czabe goes solo on "Getaway Day" from Virgin, UT. Some thoughts on Charch's lovely new home. Lane Kiffin already sniffin' 'round the ol' SEC for more money and a new landing spot. NFL Week 11 mop-ups. You "are" what your record "says" you are... sorta. To an extent. State Troopers in Texas deserve respect. But man, their ability to go nuclear a-hole because...

The Green Bay Packers might be the most frustrating "good" team in the NFL right now. 6-3-1 and could easily (should be) the NFL's only 10-0 squad. But after a greasy win vs. Jameis Winston and the Giants, the questions just keep piling up. WOLFIE and GITTER join me as the "Tuesday Boys" go through the pros and cons from Sunday. Also, Jamar Chase, the latest idiot NFL player to...

Czabe recaps his long weekend in Sin City with CHARCH and MR X and what it's like to park your mildly drunken ass in front of the world's greatest sportsbook viewing jumbotron at the Circa Resort downtown. As a bonus, Czabe interviews Bill Krackomberger about his life long relationship to gambling of all sorts, and especially how he views modern sports wagering, Vegas, and more. Our Sponso...

Czabe and CHARCH engage in some serious music nerderation. There's a massive mop up on aisle 3 about the Edmund Fitzgerald. The band who gamed Spotify and rose to stardom. When do we get to start making our own hyrbrid music albums? Is there a glimmer of hope in the doomcast of artificial intelligence? Czabe perdicts a "retreat to humanity." MORE..... Our Sponsors: * Check out Troll Co...

Czabe is joined by ERIC GITTER and BRYAN WOLF to pick through the wreckage of the Packers loss to the Eagles. Yeah, yeah. 3 point loss to a good team. Whatever. The play-calling and strategic decisions of Matt LaFleur have never been in more disarray. That plus Brian Kelly getting the lawyerly f'-around at LSU, and an homage to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. MORE . . . Our Sponsors: * Che...

Czabe delivers a MEGA-sized pod today, with a thought on why some media personalities seem to be beyond embarrassment at doing a truly shoddy job. Mr. X joins to break down the nuggets and narratives of Week 10 in the NFL. Then Matt Mueller - aka: A Man About Film - talks ESPN v. Disney dispute, and who's "winning." Plus, was 1998 the greatest movie year, ever? MORE.... Our Sponsors: *...

Czabe wraps up a crazy weekend in sports. Starting with the "greatest catch" in football history? The play absolutely wrecked Gus Johnson's voice, which was either an epic call, or another "nails on chalkboard" indictment of the Fox screamer. ANDY POLLIN joins to discuss the Commanders getting destroyed by the Lions. Trump appearance goes poorly. Wisconsin storms the field. Big...

Czabe welcomes on Mr. X to talk about why the faves can go 10-2 two weeks ago, and then the dogs go 9-5 the next week for no damn reason. If only we knew how and why. NFL refs are putting the screws to taunting penalties this year, and nobody likes it. Apparently nobody holds against Ohio State. Like, nobody. Are owner press conferences mid-season ever a good thing (no!) so why do some people like...

The NFL Trade Deadline provided some real sparks again this year. With the Jets accumulating an astonishing haul of 5 first-rounders in the next years with a pair of trades. Obviously, Jerrah is desperate in Dallas, but will his old man moves make a difference to a sinking season? Don't be a fake hard-o about Halloween, Matt LaFleur. PAUL CHARCHIAN joins me and talks cloned dogs, bending the k...

Czabe delivers two new "Friends of Czabe" to the podcast today, MATT MUELLER who is "A Man About Film" from the old show, and also BRYAN WOLF - aka "Wolfie" - who has just about had it with Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. Also, Czabe wonders when the first NFL coach will be who understands "load management" and applies it without reservation to his starting QB. Plu...

A World Series thriller will leave Blue Jay fans in "Herb Brooks Purgatory after the Dodgers steal game seven: "To your fucking grave!" ANDY POLLIN joins the pod. He discusses the ALE Theory at the Maryland blowout against Indiana. More on the Fall Classic. The highs and lows for Fox. Have they officially "Broken Sports TV?" Czabe says yes, as ESPN v. YouTube TV battle starts c...

Czabe welcomes his Utah buddy PAUL CHARCHIAN of Fantasy Football Weekly, and he tells the story of how he lost the vote with his co-partners on picking Atlanta in their survivor pool, only to have the turntables come around suddenly against his pick. Herbie doubles down on his shit take. The influence of sports radio on coaches job security. Private jersey swap between Love and Rodgers. The utter...
