Special Guest: John Ziegler and Penn State Scandal 14 Years Later: It's Complicated 24.02.2026

Czabe recently made his first-ever visit to Penn State, and was pondering what it must have been like when the Sandusky scandal broke back in 2011. And now with "the benefit of hindsight" he welcomes back JOHN ZIEGLER who has done the most exhaustive deep dive into what he calls the greatest injustice in modern America history. A destruction of lives and legacies, in a rush to satisfy a mo...

Maybe The Best Winter Olympics... Ever! 23.02.2026

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to discuss the final exclamation point from Milan, as Team USA wins gold in overtime in men's hockey, making it a perfect pair of overtime moments with the women. Poor Canada, this was maybe worse than actually becoming our 51st state! Also, we talk about Lindsay Vonn and when "discretion should be the better part of valor." Alysa Liu didn't just steal th...

The Cinematic Perfection Of These Winter Games! 19.02.2026

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to talk about some of the amazing moments and scenes from Milan. Also, Hollywood has been on a mini-run lately, and Matt is here for it! Czabe also talks about the Tony Clark fiasco with the MLBPA, and maybe my devices are both eavesdropping on me for targeted ads, but also spying on me? The Robot Revolution is on our doorstep. MORE.... Our Sponsors: * Check out Troll C...

So Many Dumb Ideas On 'Fixing' the NBA's Tanking Problem 18.02.2026

Czabe flies solo today as he's traveling to  Arizona  with his mom and daughter. The  NBA Draft Lottery  is worse than before, but Czabe has a simple proposal to return the league to "normal law" before making any more counter-productive "fixes." The  Olympics  still deliver the human drama that should resonate with everyone, but there's always a few "bah humbugs" o...

What Winter Olympic Sport Would Be The Most Terrifying? 17.02.2026

Czabe welcomes ol' pal BRIAN BUTCH to the show and they discuss the latest coaching drama in college basketball, as well as what winter Olympic sport would be the most terrifying.

Also Puck News' JOHN OURAND tells us why NBC might have screwed itself with the NFL, by over...

The NBA's "Non-Stars" Are Less Creative Than Dunkin' Donuts 16.02.2026

Czabe and ANDY POLLIN hook up to discuss the hopeless state of the NBA's All-Star Weekend from soup to nuts. Every single metric, attitude, and soundbite is in the absolute shitter, and Adam Silver has run out of ideas. Even the bad ideas. Of which he finds many. The NFLPA somehow loses what should have been an easy arbitration win over their annual survey. The Canadians are cheatin' fucks...

The Sports & Prediction Market Racket Are Headed For A Full Blown Meltdown 12.02.2026

Czabe delivers a monster Thursday episode - 1:42! longest ever! - because he just won't shut up!

MR X jumps in with his Super Bowl thoughts. Meanwhile, even CNBC is starting to call bullshit on entities li...

The Wide Open Spaces And Bulging Tight Ski Pants (w/ Paul Charchian) 11.02.2026

Lindsay Vonn's Gamble: Athletic Arrogance or Pure Foolishness? 10.02.2026

Czabe delivers a massive triple-header today! First, he weighs in on the pros/cons of Olympic legend Lindsay Vonn deciding to ski on a torn ACL, and then break her leg crashing while trying. Also, we get a consult from Dr. BRIAN KOCH an actual orthopedic surgeon on the situation. Czabe shares a snippet of his weekly Monday chit-chat with Scott and Solly on *their* pod, then MATT MUELLER swings by...

Superbowl LX Recap: Sometimes, The Best Team Wins And It Was Obvious All Along 09.02.2026

Czabe recaps one of the dullest Super Bowls in at least a while (shoutout to the Patriots' 10-3 win over the Rams in 2019!) and why it was obvious the Patriots had no chance after the first few drives. When did you know they were cooked? The Sam Darnold redemption arc. Some thoughts on Bad Bunny. ANDY POLLIN joins the show to talk about the death of the Washington Post sports department and wh...

Half of the Sports Junkies Is Almost As Good As All of Them! 05.02.2026

We talked about cheating our way through high school chemistry, the time JP decided he'd try boxing and write a book about it, working at amu...

Charch Considers A Side Car 04.02.2026

Czabe and PAUL CHARCHIAN cut it up over being goaded to buy a Utah rich man's toy. The Epstein email dump and the NFL's quandary. Bill Gates is a scumbag, but his ex-wife is filthy rich. Robert Kraft denied the HOF. A "cheese-backed economy" is a thing. Cheese wheel pasta, for the win! PGA Tour prediction pools. CzabeVegas update. MORE.....

Power Lunch - Gene Wang from the Washington Post On Why Newspapers Remain A Critical Part of A City's Sports Ecosystem 03.02.2026

Czabe welcomes  ANDY POLLIN  and Washington Post beat reporter  GENE WANG  to discuss the dark days facing the Post and their sports department. Czabe explains how critical it was for guys like Gene and others to "flush out" the stories, quotes, and details of the players, coaches and teams we follow, to then blow them out of the sky like ducks who had been flushed. The legend of "The...

Czabe welcomes  PAUL CHARCHIAN , a Hall of Famer himself ( Fantasy Sports Hall of Fame , Class of 2013), to discuss the absurdity of an  8-time Super Bowl-winning coach  being made to "wait outside" the  Pro Football Hall of Fame  while a small gaggle of reporters throw a hissy fit over  Spygate .

The Pro Bowl* Has Gone From A Joke, To A Bad Joke 27.01.2026

Czabe flies solo today with a loaded agenda. First up: the absurdity of making Shedeur Sanders —now somehow the martyr of the 2025 NFL Draft —a Pro Bowl Games alternate at QB. Things get taken away as you get older. It's a fact of life, and Southwest Airlines just proved it with their final open-seating flight now in the books. Paul Allen bends the knee, but it won't be enough. A hard trut...

The Bills Blame Game Has Just Begun 22.01.2026

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the absolutely bonkers presser with Bills owner Terry Pagula and GM Brandon Beane. Looks like Keon Coleman gonna take the blame for everything!

A 1...

A Finish So Good, Even The Movie Would Be A Disappointment 21.01.2026

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to talk about the CFP Championship game, and all of the iconic and cinematic elements to Indiana finishing off the job against a nasty, and sticky Miami team. How does this compare to Leicester City? Or Francis Ouimet? Or The Miracle on Ice? Mom shots and surrender cobras. Abdella Danger gets some screen time. Anybody feel bad for Carson Beck? I do. The 4K feed was glor...

The Lucky Horseshoe Finally Falls Out of Caleb's Ass 19.01.2026

Okay, so that's a bit harsh. Dude made one HELLUVA throw to force OT. But the Rams somehow survive. Czabe recaps the thrilling finish to the weekend, by calling HIS MOM who was utterly thrilled with the Bears losing for reasons she can only explain. ANDY POLLIN joins the show to talk about the Broncos-Bills game, and the controversial catch/INT and how NY based reviews of NFL games is totally...

Watch That Smile, Mister! 15.01.2026

Czabe enjoys a "Power Lunch" with STEVE BUCKHANTZ and CHRIS KNOCHE. The ex-coach just got off a red-eye from Los Angeles. While Buck is dreading playing golf in Orlando in a bone chilling 53 degrees. The boys talk about the broken state of college sports, great coach quotes in history, what does the phrase "the dogs bark, but the caravan moves on...." really means. And Buckhantz ha...

Here's The Funny Thing About Things "Ending Badly..." 14.01.2026

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod. Rodgers ends his career on a long pick-6. Mike Tomlin "steps down," but is he eager to get back in the saddle? Charch is bad luck when visiting Minnesota. Where does Rodger rank all-time among SB Era QB's? Charch has a big problem at his little airport in Utah. Delta Airlines is raking in the bucks. MORE.... Our Sponsors: * Check out Troll Co C...

NFL Divisional Weekend Schedule? Relax, We're "Working On It" 13.01.2026

Czabe begins by pointing out the NFL's shameless disregard for integrity by leaving their options open regarding the outcome of Steelers vs. Texans. The state of officiating in the NFL is pretty bad. Even if the actual refs are really good. SCOTT DOLPHIN gets his victory lap, and all Bears wins from here on out are pure gravy. The "Pack Nutz" group of ERIC GITTER, JASON OTTUM, and BRYA...
