The Bears nearly hang a 60-burger on the Panthers. The NFL proves it can strike anywhere on the globe with its Australia game. Steve Sarkisian blows off Holly Rowe, was he in the wrong?

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN and hits him up with a new business proposition. Baker Mayfield gets paid. But once again, QB prices seem to reflect the cost of NOT having one who is any good. The Rams and Niners engage in a fascinating experiment in sleep and time zone travel. Czabe would go shark diving. Charch's miracle iPad recovery from Delta. Apple's foldable phone. Cybercabs and the f...

Is there a &...

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod, as he's decamped in Minnesota for 11 days doing various fantasy football shows, appearances, drafts and more. He went to a taping of a live comedy show for Michael Che, and it quickly went off the rails when a virtue signalling white woman decided she would just tank the mood in the room. Czabe addresses your complaints about ads and sound quality. Lis...

Czabe welcomes Fox Sports' TIM BRANDO to discuss the "Cuban Missile Crisis" standoff between LSU and the SEC, as the threats and rhetoric have reached a whole new level over the NFL "transfer" portal. Who needs a $500 toothbrush? Nobody, but I bet it sells like hotcakes. Tony Romo issues apology, seeks treatment. Is Puka Nakua in trouble with the NFL's DV rules, and why hav...

Czabe welcomes Andy Pollin to the pod, as they discuss esteemed and well-liked Karl Ravech being shown the door at ESPN for reasons nobody really understands. It's the nature of the business, but it doesn't make it any less stupid or annoying. Would you watch the "Fuzz Zone" tennis multi-channel? Are mid-tier colleges going the way of dinosaurs? What is a college degree actually go...

Czabe flies solo on a busy Monday, as NFL teams whack down to 53, the Packers are in a big bind at RB, and guess who's back in LA! Daejon Love is the best fake sports story since Lenay Kakua and Mantei Teio. The Titans cancel their "Netflix Quarterback" and J.J. McCarthy is still a Viking - for now! The mother of all stadium flyovers, and I'm getting shelled by preppers on social m...

Should NFL teams play ANYBODY of significance or even practice at full speed in August? Nobody knows, but that's the way "it's always been done." The origin story of "Factory of Sadne...

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 ma...

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...

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.

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...

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,...

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...

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.

New Fantasy Punishm...

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 t...

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...

Surely, CBS doesn't want "out" of the Romo business, do they? Well... maybe. Just maybe. Hard to believe, with all of the far worse stuff that broadcasters have been accused of, that Romo might lose his $18 million a year TV gig over a garden-variety DUI. But here we are. Also in the episode, Who Killed the Switchboard, Tank Commanders, Smack the Rookie Kicker, MARTY CONWAY from George...

Czabe is in Green Bay, WI, home of the Packers, to observe a day of football practice up close. Mind you, it's not even a tackle practice, but it's still enough of a close encounter with athletic freaks that it makes you appreciate the NFL even more for the $25 billion annual spectacle that it is. Aaron Rodgers kept receipts, and he cashed 'em all in on McAfee. But was he "right?&#...

Czabe gets behind the hibachi and just cooks today, solo. As the Dodgers really have broken baseball, and people's brains with a deal for ace pitcher Tarik Skubal, that does not pass the smell test. Is it collusion, or just giving up? Why baseball is different than football, for 500 million different reasons. The origin story of "Number 1 Bullshit" and also "Let Him Cook!" Plus...
