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...

Just because there's 10 inches of snow on the ground in the DMV, doesn't mean me and the boys can't get together over eggs and coffee to discuss the latest in the world of golf. We talk about flagstick in or out, new drop rules, the Matt Kuchar tipping controversy in Mexico, where to escape in the winter for the best golf, weather and value... and much more!  Steve Czaban - The Team 98...

Oh, you can chase 'em. But you'll never catch 'em! What in the bloody hell... was that? Not to make fun of an accomplished coach with (maybe) a neuro-tic of some sort or another, but how can Jets fans feel confident this guy can command a roster of 53 men, when he can't command his own eyeballs at a presser? Andy Pollin joins me to talk about the Redskins and how some big time spor...

*Well... sorta. Although if you close your eyes, I think you'll be pretty well blown away. I kick myself for passing on a chance to see the super group in Vegas a few years ago when Glenn Frey was still alive. And I'm sure I'll see the Frey-less Eagles proper someday before they stop printing money performing live. But for a lot less money, you can join me in Milwaukee at the Pabst The...

Because defense is for suckers. And, it's boring. For the first time ever, all 4 of the NFL's top ranked scoring offenses are in the AFC/NFC title games. So get ready to pound those "overs" and buckle up! Complete recap and breakdown of Divisional Weekend. The worst non-sports "bad beat" I've ever seen. Mocking the Colts 1-0 t-shirts, and laughing at fools trying to kic...

Former Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley joins Steakhouse star Fred Smoot (back by popular demand!) to talk about the latest coaching hires in the NFL, what Matt LaFleur needs to do to earn Aaron Rodgers trust, how to deal with "diva" WR's like Antonio Brown, and a whole lot more. Come sit back and pretend you are with us in the back booth, solving life's greatest mysteries, one...

But will he find true happiness, in the streaming wilderness? Who knows for sure. Something in me says he's asking for a world of pain, once he feels the rush of "sticking it" to an increasingly heartless DirecTV. Scott Van Pelt and Bill Simmons catfight over gambling knowledge. Oblivious Uber drivers, Holly Sonders, and more! Our Sponsors: * Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my code...

Every NFL owner wants the "next Sean McVay" I am sure. Problem is, there's only one. And oh yeah, having great players kinda matters too. But short of getting the actual Sean McVay, it seems like some teams just want a guy who looks like him! Young, thin, handsome! (Preferably with a stubble beard!) Handsome looking McVay knockoffs in Matt LaFleur and Kliff Kingsbury are in for the Pac...

For once, Alabama found itself on the pavement side of a schoolyard beatdown. It was surreal. Clemson has risen as the new NCAA football beast, and with Trevor Lawrence locked in for 2 more years.... look out. Is Matt LaFleur the man who will "Make Aaron Rodgers Great Again?" We shall soon find out. Listener mailbag day, plus never chase a kidnapping victim into a karate studio. Our Sponso...

NFL Wildcard weekend was its usual assortment of duds and psuedo-thrillers. At least until Sunday night, when poor Cody Parkey of the Bears met his nemesis one more time: the 8 inches of yellow death known... as the UPRIGHT! We talk instant replay, bad beats, are NFL owners now gambling on their own games, and the coddling of Lamar Jackson. Our Sponsors: * Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my co...

After a solid 13-5 regular season my "Lock of the Week" it gets harder from here. Only 4 games, all good teams, and some slim point spreads. Undeterred, I forge ahead with Mr. X by my side, trying to sort out Saturday and Sunday's games. Also, Reuben Foster update, how "Da Pope" sounds alot like SNL sketch character Nathan Thurm, and more! Our Sponsors: * Check out Troll Co Clo...

Mike Tomlin survives amidst the Antonio Brown chaos in Pittsburgh. How much of it is his fault? I talk to two big anti-Tomlites today. RIP three legends of the 70's and 80's: The Captain, Mean Gene, and SuperDave. Alex Ovetchkin is skipping the All-Star game, and I can't get behind that.

File this under "they don't make 'em like they used to" but looking back at the 1984 North American box office, it looks like the 1927 Yankees of film. So how come it seems like we might only get 2 or 3 good flicks per year now? Antonio Brown wants a trade, but keeps buying crazy jewelry. Scott Van Pelt puts his beloved Redskins on blast, re-thinking "running QBs" in the NF...

If an NFL team was penalized 4 spots of draft position each round for a relatively minor league rules infraction, that team would likely scream bloody murder! And yet... simply winning a single meaningless game sometimes achieves the same penalty. When will coaches and teams wake up? Black Monday claims 1/4 of the league's coaches. Drama in Pittsburgh. New Year's Resolutions. Andy Pollin o...

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we have a 4-teamer, and I'd even be okay with it expanding to 8. Although I am not sure it will "solve" too many of the current gripes, nor deliver a more compelling product to watch. Truth of the matter is, college football just isn't the NFL. The Redskins dump a deuce at home to finish the year. Kirk does the same in Minnesota. NFL playoffs a...

So I was explaining to my lovely wife and daughter why certain football fields this time of year look better than others. They were rather amazed. I also told her that my inept team's field is garbage because they put basically no money into it. It all started when I told them that a quartet of high paid marketing suits had been given their walking papers by Dan Snyder today. It was quite a di...

What's the saying... "damned if they do... damned if they don't?" I think the Redskins did the RIGHT thing in letting a fake "leader" go after repeated warnings to keep things "in-house." But sadly, Redskins fans deep and abiding hatred and mistrust of the organization's suits, that they have somehow made this guy into a martyr. Amazing. LeBron James and his tur...

If you ever wanted to know the brief, and un-official history of my family's Christmases through the years... boy have you come to the right place! I hope you had as many wonderful boyhood memories as I did, and loving parents like mine. A happy childhood is a gift that lasts forever. I will always be grateful for mine!

When the head coach says that phrase, it would behoove the entire organization to believe it. Many Redskins loss are hare-brained. Some are comical. Some, shameful. A rare breed is the TRUE "heartbreaker" like this one was. A masterfully executed gameplan, which came undone at the very end. Pity.  11:00 - The Skins Heartbreak in Tennessee 17:02 - The Many Ways They Are Indeed, "Not Goo...

Those were the famous words of one Jeff George when he was the starting QB for the Washington Redskins, circa 2000. Of course, for HIM, leadership wasn't over-rated. He needed to show some of it, if nothing more than to dilute his earned rep as an aloof mullet wearing slinger. Aaron Rodgers, however, doesn't need to prove anything. Which is why him playing anymore this year, is madness. Bu...

The "Best of the Reporters" reunion brought two perennial "3rd mic heavyweights" out to dinner at DC Prime in Ashburn this week: Chris Knoche and Thom Loverro. Andy and I reminisce with the guys about classic show moments, talk about the current state of sports team ownership in DC sports, and also dispense some helpful advice for anyone looking to break into "the biz." REC...

Maybe NFL teams need to re-think what's going on Baltimore, and where the Lamar Jackson experience may end up. So what if it "can't last?" I'd argue the Ravens have already gotten nearly fair value for a late 1st rounder spent on Action Jackson. Notorious JAY joins me and discusses southern rap, rims, how Antoine Walker got so fat, and more. All that, plus what Mike McCarthy ta...

So what if it was ugly, the Redskins won. Right? Would you rather LOSE a horseshit awful football game? Nah. Might as well win these. And while I'm on it, how god-awful was Blake Bortles that the Jags would rather burn with Cody Kessler under center? The Packers are officially moved in to "suck town" with back-to-back losing seasons. Alex Smith is home, but not nearly out of the woods....

Czabe and his "Goodfellas" gather to assess NFL playoff chances, Super Bowl faves and darkhorses, the brilliance of Patrick Mahomes and more. Plus Jerry vs. Danny debate, stadium preferences, Bryce Harper and $300 million, favorite Christmas gifts of all time and more. RECORDED LIVE at DC PRIME STEAKS in Ashburn VA. Thanks to the staff for great cow and even better service! Book your holid...

When 42-1 longshot Buster Douglas chopped down Mike Tyson in his prime, it was shock to the sports world like nothing else. But you had to be alive and old enough back then to understand what sheer dominance looked like. It looked like Iron Mike! Notorious J-A-Y and I discuss. Jay puts Mike Tomlin on the dunk tank of being fired, and I put on my best legal defense of Kirk Cousins money can buy. Al...
