CzabeCast

Including how AI has solved an old stone "board game" and it's rules, there's a CEO "burger war" that has turned hot, the Vikings are pondering (at least) "5 Unthinkable Options" and the Bengals just thorougly botched the whole Trey Hendrickson contract negotiation. MORE.... Ou...

Will Maryland basketball be able to bounce back quickly? McDonald&#3...

Czabe welcomes old 97.3 The Game colleagues  BRIAN BUTCH  and  ARMEY SARYAN  to talk college basketball and more. Can the NCAA really snub a team that might finish 32-1? How badly did the Packers botch their special teams coach leaving after the hiring cycle was over? Czabe weighs in on the USA men's hockey team "controversy" attending the SOTU, and a bunch of responses to the Penn Sta...

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN back after his stint at the FSGA conference in Vegas. They get nerdy about "vibe coding" and AI going rogue. How Derek Stevens ended up building Circa Resort and Casino. Malik Willis is going to be wildly overpaid by somebody. Have the Vikings already soft-benched JJ McCarthy? A dude accidentally hacks into 7,000 robotic vacuums worldwide. X-Box is truly, utte...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Czabe delivers a monster Thursday episode - 1:42! longest ever! - because he just won't shut up! First up is a theory he has about whether the Redskins turning into an expansion team called the "Commanders" might have helped - just help - doom the Washington Post sports section. MR X jumps in with his Super Bowl thoughts. Meanwhile, even CNBC is starting to call bullshit on entities li...

Czabe shares a snippet of his weekly Monday chit-chat with Scott and Solly on *their* pod, then MATT MUELLER swings by...

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...

Czabe sits down with JP FLAIM and "CAKES" AUVILLE to cut it up about JP's new book "Faith Restored" about the Commanders miracle 2024 season, plus why Cakes is a poker fanatic and how he once almost let blackjack ruin him financially. 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...

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 . Get over it already. Also:  Google  has been eavesdropping the whole time, and yet nobody is...

Czabe welcomes back former morning show co-host  BRIAN BUTCH  to dissect the  Green Bay Packers'  maddeningly timid, conservative approach. What's wrong with this team? Brian has some theories. The guys also debate the biggest cities in  Wisconsin , discuss Butch's  college basketball  road adventures this season, and it's officially time to get hyped for  CzabeVegas 2026 ! MORE......

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...

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! Meanwhile, this off-season has seen some of the more incredible story lines in coaching hires, from uninspiring re-treads like Saleh to Tennessee and shocking "no thanks" to Cleveland from Mike McDaniel. A 1...

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...
