I pay a visit to NBC Sports Radio and my boys Tim Murray and Michael Jenkins to talk all things gambling, their new radio show, and our experiences in Las Vegas. I also weigh in on the Redskins big splash signing of Landon Collins. How ugly would it look if we fought both Russian and China in WWIII? "Not great, Bob. Not great." Ranch dressing in a creek. Scorpions on a plane. Our Sponsors:...

If you would have predicted in August, that Antonio Brown would lead the league in TDs and also get thrown away for a 3rd and a 5th by March, the paddywagon with the straightjackets would have drove up to your fantasy league draft party. But here we are. How the Steelers botched this thing, 8-ways to Sunday. Other topics today include: Marie Kondo, the Sony A7III, NCAA Selection Show, superhero mo...

Baseball appears to be on the verge of making the biggest rule change since the DH. But have they thought it through? Kyler Murray might be a little bit douchey. Minority Report pre-crime is becoming real. Don't try to steal ATMs. Mr. X discusses craps, calcuttas, and more.

Who woulda thunk that one of this generations's finest actors - Will Smith - would find backlash in playing Richard Williams - father of tennis phenoms Venus and Serena - because of.... (checks notes) SKIN COLOR?! Yup. Apparently that's happening, but luckily Notorious J-A-Y helps this poor middle class white boy from the burbs understand. We also talk Pete Davidson, Kyrie and Kylie, NFL c...

As a marketing vehicle, the combine is the greatest pint of snake oil ever sold in sports history. The fact that television covers it, and news outlets pay to send reporters is amazing. And yeah, it's a fun guilty pleasure. But it probably does more harm than good. Andy Pollin joins me to make his case for Bryce Harper being in the Nat's "Ring of Honor" (wut?) and to assess his app...

It's the "most important position in sports" and yet, the ability for NFL teams to adequately sort out the shiners from the shitstains, remains highly imperfect. So on a dreary combine Saturday, I bought wings and a soda for one Coach Paul Troth, who knows a thing or two about quarterbacking to give me his thoughts. That, plus another excellent piece about the pure evil of Twitter, and...

You would think that my guest Notorious J-A-Y's favorite rock n' roll group Queen getting a Hollywood blockbuster made about them would make him boundlessly happy. Not so. Too many liberties for Jay, and he breaks them down today. LeBron James has actived "Pout Mode." Jussie Smollet and the latest "go ahead and try to kick me out" society. Hockey team embraces the label: &#...

The NFL has become a league of optics, and a league that goes out of it's way to be "women friendly" in every regard. This Orchids of Asia story... is... as the meme goes... "Not great, Bob!" How could Kraft be this stupid/reckless? What will the NFL do? Also highlights of my trip to Africa with listeners. Zion Williamson. Camera enlightenment. The glory that is, flying first c...

Buffalo Bills first rounder out of Wisconsin Lee Evans joins myself and Fred Smoot to discuss his career in the NFL, as well as the hot topics in the league this offseason: everything from Kyler Murray's prospects at QB, to Kareem Hunt's off-field trouble, to the difficult to manage but even more difficult to cover Antonio Brown. Good laughs and never before told nuggets abound in this epi...

The case of Kareem Hunt is an interesting reflection of how little empathy some in the media have for human beings who have made a serious mistake in judgement. So Hunt should never play in the NFL again? What would that achieve? What would it prevent? Whose best interests would it serve? Does the notion of "the punishment fitting the crime" even matter anymore? Notorious JAY joins me to d...

On the one hand, at least there's not a meth lab being run out of the basement. On the other hand, leave it to nosy neighbors to get all bent out of shape when your house goes on the market with a basement that could double as a shooting set for the next "50 Shades" movie. Andy Pollin joins me to discuss Warner Wolf's meltdown, the new AAF, and the "Old World Order" when it...

But he is a guy who still doesn't get it. After finally tugging on Superman's cape one too many times, and getting booted from the Super Bowl broadcast because of it, he talked to ESPN's OTL to take his virtue signaling "victory" lap. For a guy that hated football so much, he sure did love the money. AAF Debut. Lego Movie 2 review. New podcast gear. iMac took a shit. Lenny Dyks...

I've been told that fame is the most addictive drug in the world. How would I know? I'm barely podcast famous. But Lavar Ball, ohhh, there's a different cat. That guy was THE talk of the sports world just a few years ago. Now, his over-rated kid is about to be launched through the NBA's moon door to a city that's already lost an NBA team once. It's gonna be a helluva a hard...

You are going to have dig deep into today's episode for that little nugget of truth. But go ahead, it's in there people. That's the thing about the CzabeCast. It rewards your ears, it massages your brain, it leaves you with a little something that you never would have thought about if I didn't bring it up. Notorious J-A-Y watched the SuperBowl but skipped the halftime show. Good gr...

What's the "secret" behind Belichick, Brady, and the Patriots? There's no secret. It's just they are better at this than the other 31. They work harder ("No Days Off!") eat avacado ice cream, and have built a monster "program" like it was college. People who play there, bust their asses and "buy in" or they are likely gonna be gone. Andy Pollin joins me...

What the Patriots are doing with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady is a flat out joke. A league designed to knock everybody back to 8-8, has somehow produced a single team that has the cheat code (pun intended) on how to win relentlessly. We'll never see anything like it again. More from the weekend here in Atlanta in today's meaty podcast. Up and ready to be consumed, plausibly live from my ho...

It would be great if Goodell could actually summon Sean Payton to Atlanta and ask in front of the entire class like a teacher: "Sean... what are you wearing under there? Can you show the class?" If you thought he's "let it go" well... no he hasn't. The State of the NFL Address. Twitter double standards. Robot golf. Tony Romo's brilliance. And more! This time: dead sober...

If you are the NFL, and you are actively kicking out certain media outlets for asking aggressively silly questions, when your entire event is based on silly questions... well, then.. maybe time to re-evaluate what you are doing. I am having a hard time finding things to complain about, but because I am a seasoned media veteran, you know I have my list! Plus, how come we aren't all as smart as...

I'm the guy who is always defending the value, the tradition, and pageantry of All Star Games and exhibitions in sports. But the Pro Bowl has become a neglected, sickly, old dog that is whimpering in misery. Time to end it. Andy Pollin joins me to discuss Alex Smith missing all of 2019 and old SB media stories. Plus if you are a prepper, I've got the doomsday mansion you can retire in styl...

I thought for sure, the caterwaulling over the blown call a week ago would have died down to a mere murmur by Wednesday. I was wrong. I have underestimated the sheer victimology ethos of today's culture. Psychologist and professor Jordan Peterson talks winning and losing with Joe Rogan. My boy Gitter prepares for "Ice Planet Hoth" in Wisconsin. My quick thoughts on the Netflix document...

When it comes to stadium naming rights, this one is going to be a definite "Naming Wrong." How on earth can the Brewers lose the most perfect name, and perfect stadium logo in the major leagues? Oh, that's right. They didn't think it was worth the money anymore. Yeah... capitalism. Mr. X joins me for one last deep dive on the officiating, strategy, and ultimate plays that decided t...

But then again, what did you expect from a sheltered, suburban, middle-class white boy? Notorious J-A-Y is in disbelief at my favorite songs. He's also not feeling it on this current HOF class in MLB. We talk about the bad call, reviewable P.I. and more! Also the breakdown on Bruce Allen's impromptu presser in Mobile, Alabama. And this is not a drill: The Sopranos "prequel" movie.....

Even if you are tired of the debate about reviewable P.I. and overtime rules, you have to admit that this game and this call is producing some amazing and hilarious secondary material. Like, just take ONE wild guess as to which high profile media member actually got duped by the totally faked jersey swap pic above? Andy Pollin joins me to talk about Sunday's games, the Redskins and Danny Boy,...

Sunday's NFC and AFC Championship games were thrilling, taught, high drama affairs. Filled with feats of athletic wonder and suprise. And yet, the clatter on Monday (and beyond) will almost surely be about nonsense and things that shouldn't matter in the big picture of sport. There will never be officiating perfection and there is no thing called "fairness." The sooner we learn, th...

You know life is good for "The Television Show About QB's" (aka: The National Football League) when a former #1/#1 pick, playing in the #2 market in the country....... IS THE WEAK LINK of guys left slinging bombs out there! Notorious J-A-Y helps me breakdown these guys 4 different ways. We also talk R. Kelly, people who hate me, and old cool flip phones making a comeback like the Motor...
