CzabeCast

Czabe gets worn out like an old man digging a ditch. Andy, the real old man, reveals his life philosophy: "Meh, that's good enough." Ticket prices for games reaching the stratosphere. Johnny Manziel needs the cash. Pistol Pete died at 40, too. Is the NFL flirting with losing Sundays. "New phone, who dis?" MORE....

Czabe is out here grindin' on a holiday weekend, but the good content just couldn't be ignored. Also, it's still fucking raining in DC. So why not podcast? The Indy 500 was incredible from start to finish. More on Kyle Busch and his shocking death. The Knicks are rollin', and courtside seats for the finals are already selling for more than a 4-bedroom house! Kenny Atkinson is spinn...

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod after a 2-week absence, and there are more AI-related stories than he can shake a stick at. Include tone-def commencement speakers who simply cannot "read the room." Aaron Rodgers says, "This is it" as an NFL QB, but will he go out on a high note? Imagine being held hostage by (checks notes) Jacoby Brissett!? AI Radio stations have zero chil...

Czabe welcomes on the podcast CHRIS KNOCHE, the former AU head men's basketball coach and current UMD color analyst, to try to accurately describe the impossibility of guarding a 7-6 inch freak who can dribble and shoot like a guard, while blocking ten shots a game. Czabe also goes through the news of the day, including Rashee Rice getting his ass tossed back in jail, the NFL furthering its ou...

Czabe finally reconnects with MR X for the first time since CzabeVegas. They talk about how the MLB season is now launching as we head toward Memorial Day. They don't make old school skippers like Bobby Cox anymore. Are the Knicks really that good? Or do the Sixers suck? ABS creating new "short kings." Mr. X doesn't buy it on the accuracy of ABS. Could the Wizards trade DOWN from 1...

Czabe ran a few laps with SCOTT LINN and STEVE SOLOMON on their home court, the Linn Murray Solly Podcast, as usual on a Monday. You'll hear about Scott's beaming pride in his son, The J Man, as he graduates from Penn State. While Czabe wonders why he's never been invited to speak at a graduation, you'll find out exactly why when he lays out what he would say. Czabe also muses abou...

Czabe is happy the Wizards pulled off the "perfect tank" job, but his running mate today ANDY POLLIN is so "over it" that he wouldn't have cared if the NBA ended up fucking them anyway. Odd. A nearly 50-year gap between Conference(!) final appearances, this woeful team finally might get good. We'll see. RIP Bobby Cox, how long will it take for St. Peter to send him to the s...

The flood of money in sports has broken the top of the levees, and it's time to run for your life if you still like what sports used to be about. It's not a matter of "if" they'll expand the CFB to 24, it's only when. My question is: "How long will the sugar high of new money last?" A few days of utter delusion at LIV Virginia, as Bryson threatens to become the Mr....

Czabe welcomes two of his favorites, author and bourbon expert FRED MINNICK, along with inventor of the "Whiskey Weekend" PAUL CHARCHIAN, to talk about a whole lotta stuff. Starting with Fred's assertion that, despite the Kentucky Derby's obvious "glow up" with more money, more eyeballs, and more hype, it may be losing its soul. Also, Charch is wondering why McDonald's...

Czabe went wild on a Monday. First, with a check-in from ANDY POLLIN to talk about the charmed ride that John Sterling had as the voice of the New York Yankees, when they were really good! Also, Czabe gets mic-to-mic with his old producer and sidekick, JOSH ALBRECHT, for the first time in over a year and a half! He's joined by MATT MUELLER on the sacred "May the Fourth" be with you, St...

Czabe flies solo today, and there's a ton of good stuff to think about. Starting with this: how come nobody pushes back on the NFL when the Draft closes schools(!) and shuts down museums and parking lots and roads? Is there not one uncorrupted politician out there willing to say "no!" The Celtics choke away a 3-1 lead to the Sixers. Inside the NBA "goes there" on it's "...

The NCAA Tournament is expanding to 76 teams — and nobody asked for it. Steve Czaban and Kevin Sheehan break down why the Field of 76 is a classic case of league executives solving a problem that didn't exist, and what it signals about where college basketball is headed. Plus: reactions to a spicy early NBA playoffs, the death of Washington Football legend Monte Coleman, the latest on LIV Golf...

Czabe sums up the current sports hellscape, with the latest downward trends in sanity and decency. Brenden Sorsby is a degenerate, but he's hardly alone. The feds flip their first in the big NBA card rigging conspiracy case, and the tournament is expanding. SCOTT LINN and STEVE SOLOMON make an appearance as I present a chunk of my "road game" with the boys on their podcast this week. W...

Czabe welcomes the ladies to a Power Lunch at the Palm in Tysons Corner, VA. Carol reveals why she basically ghosted Czabe for a year, but it was with a good excuse. She also says she's going to "Lindsay Vonn" it on her torn ACL when it comes to her newfound love. Julie talks about how local TV news reporters have to compartmentalize covering the mayhem and broken people in the world a...

On a whim, Czabe decided to drive 1:20 to see ANDY POLLIN in his natural, unshaven Sunday habitat and eat some Chinese food and watch some NBA playoffs. The fellas talk about radio longevity, the NFL Draft, Diego Pavia and the "Johnny Manziel" effect. There are too many things still not adding up about the Russini-Vrabel story. The NBA playoffs have been a wild (but very injured) ride so f...

The late great Howard Cosell knew it, when he saw it. And that was back in 1981! You've finally made it to the NFL Draft everyone! Rejoice! More cuts on this album today... 1 The Realest "Mock" Draft 2 Aiyuk No Thanks 3 Chalk & Cheese 4 Armen & Butchie 5 Grocery Store Blues 6 Flooding in Shioctin 7 'Bron Just Built Different* 8 Big Alien, Fall Hard 9 El Cheapo 10 Jet Parkin...

Mike Vrabel finally got smoked out of his hiding hole on "La'Affaire du Russini" and he sure didn't do her any favors, with a firm non-denial side-step of "can we all just move on here" presser. PAUL CHARCHIAN joins the show, and we talk about what counts as a "good" NFL draft pick depending on the round. It all comes down to the number of games started, in Czabe&#3...

* With the draft barrelling down on us, NFL teams are starting to find their wallets for key guys. Brandon Aubrey becomes the NFL's newest "Golden Leg." Trent Williams gets his bag from the Niners. Why would Jimmy G retire? At least three teams are ready to embark upon really bad QB ideas. Bonus SCOTT LINN and STEVE SOLOMON from their weekly Patreon podcast. You can get the full episod...

Czabe goes through his "basics" on how not to fuck up the draft. ANDY POLLIN joins the show as a proud grandfather for the 3rd time. Is LeBron somehow "under-rated?" I'm not going to pay a lot for this NBA head coach. Andy's thoughts on the Commanders new "old" jerseys and new spear addition to their secondary helmet logo. The draft is "NFL Woodstock". NBA s...

Czabe welcomes back his Wisconsin buddies ARMEN SARYAN and BRIAN BUTCH to talk about whether Giannis is being a big ol' diva on his way out of Milwaukee, or if Armen is right: they shoulda just let him play. Brian is wondering, like many up there, what's going on with the rare triple-openings in the UW system. Plus, just how crucial is football? They are finding out firsthand. Also, Armen...

Czabe flies solo again because there's so much going on in the sports world. Starting with Dianna Russini realizing (correctly) that the more the Athletic and the public kept digging, the more bones would be uncovered. The World Cup is coming to America to absolutely fleece a bunch of sucker soccer fans in any way possible. The WNBA just can't help itself, now can it? If the NBA season suc...

Czabe flies solo today, and begins with a suprise that showed up on his doorstep last week. Proof that even the silliest of things, can have profound impact to some people. Keep showing up. What happens when the "Draft Industrial Complex" misses a potentially massive red flag, until it's dug up just a week before D-Day? It could be nothing. But it might be more. Jay Williams fighting f...

Czabe welcomes devoted casual golf fan ANDY POLLIN to talk about Rory's wild ride at Augusta. If nothing else, he's not boring. Sergio Garcia remains a total putz. ESPN/CBS featured some cool new camera angles and drone shots. NBA Season ends with a flurry of shameless tanking. What can be done? Wizards say "Mission Accomplished" but will they actually end up with the pick of the l...

Czabe welcomes Mr. Rural Utah himself, PAUL CHARCHIAN, to the pod, and finds out he's now an officially law-abiding member of Virgin, UT, because he has himself become properly armed (but not really dangerous!) I show him the legend of "Tex Grebner" and then we pivot into some classic Tombstone scenes. Then there's the awkward spot Dianna Russini finds herself in, after the Vrabel...
