    Pour One Out For The NFL Pro Bowl, It Had Been Sick For A Long Time

    Czabe welcomes Mr. X to talk about the death of the Pro Bowl, ESPN's "ticker," the misconceptions on "Rover and Overs," why flag football makes financial sense to the league, and more. Are ESPN's special "Interview Games" in MLB (i.e. Field of Dreams, the LL Game) more of an annoyance? How the MLB playoffs are shaping up, with such an imbalance in depth of good teams in the AL and NL? Jeff Passan gets community noted to the moon and has to delete a tweet. Stupid Little League baseball "trick plays." MORE....

    Dolly Parton: Breasts of a Legend, and a Heart of Gold

    Czabe welcomes Fantasy World's PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod as they discuss the passing of music legend Dolly Parton. Some interesting stats and facts about Dolly, who was truly larger than life. Should NFL teams play ANYBODY of significance or even practice at full speed in August? Nobody knows, but that's the way "it's always been done." The origin story of "Factory of Sadness." Browns parody set to "Allentown" by Billy Joel. NFL Unveils "Rivalry Jerseys" as we have now entered the NFL uniform "multi-verse." MORE.....

    "I'm Not Going To Pay A Lot For This Trailer Park Prostitute!"

    Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN as the NFL deals with a shocking — and embarrassing — wildcard story of Niners owner Jed York getting busted for soliciting a $140 prostitute in Ohio. But is it worse than Vrabel with Russini? What will the league do? Probably nothing. The Browns have named Deshaun Watson their Week 1 starter, and Czabe sees *some* (but not much) logic to it. Dan Snyder is a forgotten man, in another land, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving asshole. The shield was behind Mike Tirico getting cock-blocked from the original Thursday Night Football in favor of "Over The Hill Al," and what happens IF the league needs network TV more than the other way around?

    The Browns QB Horror Show Has Come To A Head

    Poor Todd Monken, he's going to be a shell-shocked mess by Thanksgiving at this rate. Deshaun Watson gets caught up in his feels about being booed. I guess the guy never watches his own film, because he fucking sucks. Shedeur might suck even more, but I guess we're going to find out. Czabe goes solo on a busy Monday, as we are at "Week Zero" in college football, where it's now beyond the wild west with players portalling BACK INTO college after being cut by NFL teams. Nutso! A young baseball fan loses her entire purse, but hangs onto the home run ball. MORE.....

    NFL Franchises In Europe? You Have To Solve The "Tyrone Johnson" Problem First

    Czabe welcomes Fantasy World's PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the usual wide swath of notable topics. Charch reminds people "we back up" on his podcast and fantasy work. The NFL wants teams in Europe, but there's a problem I don't think can get solved. ZZ Top drummer dies. The argument about "schlock" songs vs. "their good stuff." Real sports should do "fantasy punishments." MORE....

    A Playoff Nightmare, Almost Too Horrific To Think About

    Czabe welcomes back MATT MUELLER, aka. "A Man About Film" to discuss a variety of his passions, including this magical Brewers season, the Miz phenomenon, and what would be the biggest disaster possible once October arrives. Also, the Dodgers' financial world is unraveling; what does that mean for a possible lockout? The Field of Dreams Game got shit ratings. Will Netflix ever truly be a destination for live sports? Matt Damon's weird career, and a quickie review of the Odyssey. MORE...

    "Hooray For Andy, He's A Horse's Ass!"

    Czabe gives longtime co-host, mentor, and friend ANDY POLLIN his just desserts for a massive career in DC sports radio, as the two recount the many great guests and episodes they had doing "The Sports Reporters." The Jayden Daniels #5 thing has jumped contain and gone viral, but what is the ultimate lesson to be learned here? Pat McAfee puts out an album. Better than Shaq's rap albums, but not as good as Terry Bradshaw's country discs. MORE.....

    Mr. X Smells Football In The Air, Emerges From The Summer Woods

    Czabe welcomes back MR. X to the pod, as it's been a while. It was a tough summer for him, as he lost his father. But I get the "Growing Up X" backstory, including how he was on a youth soccer team that ran the table on everybody in Northern Virginia. We talk about baseball, and the looking shutdown after the season. The Skubal trade and if it made sense. What lit a spark under the Red Sox, and are there similarities to the 2003 Marlins. Who knows who is good in college football with all of the NIL mayhem? Mike Trout's "Red Wedding" golf outing at the trade deadline. To Survive or Not to Survive, that is the question. MORE....

    Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN from Fantasy Football World to talk about the usual wide range of topics. Including Kyler Murray winning the QB1 job in Minnesota, Claude's decision to watermark all their AI-written output to deter cheaters, fantasy emasculation, Red Flag keepaway, Ross Tucker, the Stench of Russini, what happened to Chris Berman's ass, and much more.

    The "Pack-A-Day" Podcast's Andy Herman

    Czabe interviews a guy who made it out of drab Human Resources and is now a fixture covering the Green Bay Packers, Andy Herman. How he did it, and what he learned along the way. The new Highmark Field is getting low marks for seat obstructions and tinytrons, not jumbotrons. Their "Nickel City" alt's aren't doin' great either. The Fall Guy calls it a career. New Fantasy Punishment. Kapernick show. Plus listener feedback and #elitetweets. MORE....

    The Kicker Roasts The Modern Lombardi

    The Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend is in the books, but not before just the 3rd kicker inducted into the Hall, Adam Vinitieri, decided to dunk on his former coach in New England's face with several searing one-liners. The bigger problem with the HOF induction process. Sophie Cunningham gets clotheslined, and yet her own coach defended the player who did it! Now two ex-NBA players threaten to call the W's bluff on transgender players. You can't just flag down a 737 like it's an Uber. Phillies "superfan" pays big money just to call one inning of baseball on TV. Akron's viral play-calling promotion. #EliteTweets and listener feedback. MORE....

    Golf, Bowling, Steak and Baseball - A Spectacular "Quad-fecta!"

    Czabe recounts his jam-packed day of adult man-fun with Josh Albrecht, Eric Gitter, and Bryan Wolf in Milwaukee. It was fun to see the roles reversed on who sucks, and who is good in the two different sports. Christian Yelich is hard to watch at the plate right now, but imagine how hard it is for guys who were former apex predator-caliber athletes to simply stink at their sport? We learn about the Wisconsin State Fair and what a " Sporkie " is as Josh admits his wife is more into the crazy foods than he is. Plus, LIV 2.0 is a "go" (we think) but it's more like a move into hospice care, for a bad idea, that was never ever going to make money. MORE....

    The Knives Are Out at CBS For Romo

    Surely, CBS doesn't want "out" of the Romo business, do they? Well... maybe. Just maybe. Hard to believe, with all of the far worse stuff that broadcasters have been accused of, that Romo might lose his $18 million a year TV gig over a garden-variety DUI. But here we are. Also in the episode, Who Killed the Switchboard, Tank Commanders, Smack the Rookie Kicker, MARTY CONWAY from Georgetown talking sports business, FIFA, LIV, MLB lockouts and Goodell. BMW hijacks owners' NAV screens; the miracle of Neuralink could be on the doorstep. MORE...

    A Day At Packer Training Camp, Up Close and Personal

    Czabe is in Green Bay, WI, home of the Packers, to observe a day of football practice up close. Mind you, it's not even a tackle practice, but it's still enough of a close encounter with athletic freaks that it makes you appreciate the NFL even more for the $25 billion annual spectacle that it is. Aaron Rodgers kept receipts, and he cashed 'em all in on McAfee. But was he "right?" Jerry shops for curtains. Bunt brawl in a rainstorm. Deshaun, please read the room. And these may just be the "good ol' days" so you better enjoy them while you are in them. MORE....

    Skubal For An Old Weedwhacker, Sounds Fair

    Czabe gets behind the hibachi and just cooks today, solo. As the Dodgers really have broken baseball, and people's brains with a deal for ace pitcher Tarik Skubal, that does not pass the smell test. Is it collusion, or just giving up? Why baseball is different than football, for 500 million different reasons. The origin story of "Number 1 Bullshit" and also "Let Him Cook!" Plus thanks for getting me out of Russian prison, but I don't think this relationship is working out. Adult summer camp? Sign me up! MORE....

    The Kyle Shanahan Crash Story Is Now In "Aurora Borealis Territory"

    Czabe welcomes his Utah friend PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod, as they discuss his decision to get internet from "Mike" in the neighborhood, instead of Starlink. Idiot. The Guinness count was off the charts in Ireland. Charch has thoughts on Fauci taking the 5th. The Kyle Shanahan crash story is entering "aurora borealis" levels of non-believability. Tony Romo bodycam footage doesn't look great. Is "strict" Monopoly actually a good board game? (Spoiler: no). Czabe has his "Hedy Lamarr" star turn a with a lengthy, but fascinating bit of facts about a bird, you may not have even been aware of. MORE.....

    The NFL Giant Begins To Rustle From It's Off-Season Slumber

    Czabe gets the table set for the upcoming NFL season with a run through on season totals for all 32 teams with "Mr. Extra Half Point" handicapper KEVIN O'NEILL as well as the headlines from training camps including Baker Mayfield betting on himself, Jalen Carter being a talented bag of shit getting the bag of money, the "patch wars" have begun in college football, and who the hell is Madison Beer? That plus Fauci feedback from the "let him cook" episode on Tuesday. MORE.....

    Fauci's Perjury Diary Might Be The Dumbest Idea In History

    Of course, this little narcissistic elf should be in prison. But I am keeping my expectations low. If not non-existent. And of course, nobody who once worshipped this fraud will admit they were duped. So let's get back to baseball scores, okay? Michael Lombardi put on leave at UNC as Belichick college disaster spirals. ESPN black queens still can't stop taking shots at Caitlyn Clark. It's an utterly un-serious league. Disturbing details about Kyle Shanahan's injuries. A 30 for 30 on Shohei's gambling isn't going to do much to convince anybody with a brain who knows how gambling works. MORE....

    Does Gaelic Football Have Its Own Version of The Red Zone?

    Czabe is back from his impossibly perfect Irish golf holiday, and boy has he missed a lot. A few thoughts from Ireland and the stunning upset in their version of the Super Bowl. ANDY POLLIN joins to talk about how insanely over-covered the whole Ryan Clark firing is. The melting media ice cube shows no mercy. Mike Vrabel hides behind a dog. LeBron chooses Philly. The WNBA is writing even more insane chapters of stupidity and self-sabotage. Nancy Armour is a woke idiot. Bryson got slick, got caught. It's a Dirty Old Town.... MORE.....

    England Parked the Bus, Then Argentina Blew It Up

    Czabe reacts to the scintillating World Cup semi in Atlanta, where dejected Brits were sent home, humming sad echoes of "It's (not) coming home..." NICK LAUGHNER of the Cleansheet EPL joins to discuss. Also RYAN GLASSPIEGEL of Front Office Sports pops on to talk Seahawks sale, the WNBA's insane destruction of their golden goose Caitlyn Clark, and more. Tom Rinaldi strikes again with a brilliant All-Star Game montage, and the re-recreation of the Sandlot scene was perfection. MORE....
