CzabeCast

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...

Czabe breaks down Michigan's national championship over UConn, in an ugly game that featured a lot of shitting shooting and uncalled roughhousing. The right team won, and Dusty May's Amazon approach to building a team is the new model for success. MATT MUELLER joins the program, and Czabe steers him down some very dark parenting streets, before turning to scissor talk and why Shrek's r...

Life contains contradictions, and things that just plain suck. You just need to manage around them, and through them. Today CZABE explains why today is a new start for his career, and thanks his loyal listeners through the years. But god forbid he have a slightly negative take on how Giannis is treating his team right now. DOUG GOTTLEIB of UWGB talks about what it takes to resurrect a program from...

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod, and while nobody likes a "negative nelly" to start the week, El Baldo really did unload a clip of 40-cal bitching about the Final Four. But, it's because he still loves sports, he says, and cares enough to complain. Jay Bilas mixes it up on NIL with ESPN panelists, Dawn Staley and Geno Auriemma both look worse for their episode on Friday. Tiger ta...

Czabe welcomes on PAUL CHARCHIAN as they do a quick re-cap of some of the best moments of CzabeVegas. Also, it's the 50th Anniversary of Apple founding, and the guys ponder the question: "What's left to invent?" The Shield is on the march, vs. the players, the refs, and scooping up more dollars from TV partners left and right. Why the Frank Ragnow bonus clawback feels so slimy. And...

Czabe reconnects with two of his favorite actual ex-Badgers, BRIAN BUTCH and producer-for-life ERIC GITTER. They talk about missing a team photo for a haircut, the Dan Hurley head-butt that wasn't, who are the good refs doing the Final Four, and that time that Erin Andrews called Butchy when he was playing in college. Also Tiger Woods has finally decided he can't dodge it anymore, and has...

Czabe flies solo today, and it's a glorious ride as the sports talk content Gods have delivered a pouring rain of good material. Yes, "Death to Replay" sez El Baldo, but first... death to bad umps. CB Bucknor might not make it to September at this rate! The NFL is gearing up to squash the refs' union. Did Dan Hurley head-butt a ref after the game winning three? How lame was the Duk...

While watching Duke lose in the first round to Siena would have been epic as all hell, I must say watching them get daggered by an Indiana freshman who is now a Hoosier state legend might be just as good. The tournament has been dominated by heavyweights, and eastern Euro imports, but it still has delivered! ANDY POLLIN joins me to talk about the Sweet 16 weekend, and Czabe is at probably 90% on h...

Czabe welcomes BRIAN BUTCH from Butchie's Den on YouTube and ARMEN SARYAN from Fox Sports Wisconsin to talk about the tournament, coaches getting T'd up, Czabe doesn't like refs who pimp, and why are there so many Jalen's in the NBA? Also, United says "go ahead, buy the whole row!" ESPN is making a documentary about the days when they didn't totally suck, and when you h...

Czabe welcomes "A Man About Film" MATT MUELLER, to discuss the NCAA Tournament, the Brewers last second announcement on TV options for the season, you can't have too much Moana, what happened to the Rock's weight? Has Ozempic clipped him, too? Why optimization in a creative industry, inevitably leads to crapification. Project Hail Mary is a really good "old school" big scre...

Czabe talks again about the incredible finish to the WBC, with baseball-crazed Venezuela, down on their political fortunes, ousting the USA in a tight finish. What can make this decidedly imperfect event even better going forward? Dick Vitale and Charles Barkley make a basketball game into a (bad) podcast. Barkley doesn't understand anything about NIL and anti-trust. PAUL CHARCHIAN swings by t...

Czabe welcomes  CHRIS KNOCHE  and  MR. X  to  The Palm  steakhouse in Tysons Corner, VA to talk about the latest in college basketball and beyond. What would an expanded tournament look like, even though nobody is talking about it? The Bruce Pearl and "nepotism" argument. Teams to shade, teams that might surprise. The Atlantic stakes one of their writers to a $10,000 bankroll to see if he...

Czabe welcomes BRIAN BUTCH and ARMEN SARYAN to the pod to go deeper into the March Madness brackets. What are "fade points" of the top seeds? What matters more? Good coach? NBA lottery pick? Solid point guard? Bracket nuggets and trends. NBA looking toward expansion. Sonics to get their history back? The population "bomb" was a dud. Just admit it. Rethinking my audio standards. MOR...

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod to discuss the NCAA tournament bracket, Bruce Pearl's non-stop whining, and how the system has been systematically rigged against the (medium) guys. Also, Rick Pitino is a coaching legend, and also a coaching lizard. Can you root for a guy like that? "Ethical hoops" and the nature of Bam Adebayo's 83 vs. the Wizards. Sports radio may have jumpe...

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the show, fresh off the golf course, where he's busy finding out how hard (but fun!) the game can be. They talk about the shocking reversal by Eric DeCosta and the Ravens on the Maxx Crosby deal, and also how badly Mark DeRosa screwed up the World Baseball Classic. Plus Charch again flexes his man card skills talking about re-wiring his ATV to be street legal....

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to the show to talk movies, Oscars, and the sad decline of Cinderella and the magic of Selection Sunday in the NCAA. Meanwhile, the NBA has cancelled "strip club night" in Atlanta. A Czech electrician is the feel-good story of the WBC. Another massive marathon screw-up has happened. And Urban Meyer could really recruit future murderers. MORE..... Our Sponsors: *...

Czabe welcomes back ol' running mate BRIAN BUTCH, and is shocked to hear him spout a very "establishment" take when it comes to the P5 conferences vs. everyone else. Free agency in the NFL is off to a "crackalackin'" start, even though some teams need to put in an insane asylum for their choices at QB. MORE....

Trump's "Saving College Sports" Roundtable Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN on a Monday, to start NFL free agency and discuss March Madness as well. President Trump's "Saving College Sports" roundtable was mostly PR and optics. But that said, something has to give, before schools go broke. Hooray for Daylight Savings Time! Celebrate Miami of Ohio, don't rip them. Remembering...

Czabe welcomes ARMEN SARYAN to talk about ref fatigue in college hoops, and the ejection of Bill Self with a brilliant game ops "kiss" on his way out. Czabe also give an eye-popping stat about "Senior Night" in college hoops, and an abject lesson in how sports can (and should) teach you about life. Czabe needs a bed on Wednesday night in Vegas. A $48 ATM surcharge? Joe Lunardi body...
