Knowing is Impossible . . . And Yet They Try.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to discuss the field of 12 in College Football. All of the teeth-gnashing is based on one thing: the conceit that somehow you can "know" which teams are "better" than others. Bill Belichick sniffing around the UNC job. How much money Tom Brady makes, and why it still makes zero sense. Rick Pitino dons the Lou Carnesseca sweater in tribute. MORE.....

Snow Games Are The Best Games!

Czabe talks about Josh Allen's "double-fantasy-touchdown" play and the end of the Niners. RIP. Do you like "digital snowblowing" or "old school?" Don't sneeze on the turkey, or I'll kill you! Raw-dogging some CO2. Curtains for A-Aron? "It's a big club, and you're not in it."

A Day Of Complete Embarrassment

Czabe is back with ANDY POLLIN to feast on the amazing avalanche of stories and mayhem from 4 days of incredible football. Starting with Eberflus' complete brain freeze on Thanksgiving, followed by the Ryan Day and Buckeye debacle in "The Game."

ESPN's Mean Girl Dunks On Daniel Jones

It's one thing to analyze why something went wrong, it's another thing to just kick a man when he's down. Not sure what she was going for in this, but hey, it's out there. PAUL CHARCHIAN joins me to fully appreciate the Giants disaster. Also, where does "Ski-U-Mah" come from? WinProbs don't always work out, and will the Jets cut Aaron Rodgers? MORE....

Oh, The Humanity!

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN, who is oddly defensive of a lousy kicker who cost his team a crucial game against an already-packed-it-in "rival." I think Andy's gone soft, if you ask me! Chaos is unfolding in college football. Is anybody ready to expand the playoffs — again? Ian Rapoport gets stuffed in a journalist locker and whines about it. RIP Rudy Martzke. Thanksgiving plans.

Mr. X Can't Quit His Addiction to Browns Punishment

Czabe talks gambling with his degentleman buddy "Mr. X" and they discuss the very odd tale of Jay Leno "falling down a hill" as well as the NFL's juggernaut TV ratings. How come McCarthy and Pederson haven't been fired yet? It's Week 12 "Bye-Maggedon" in fantasy. College football's weekend is some weak sauce. Our Thursday Night football picks see Mr. X once again putting his trust in a team that has burned him repeatedly. MORE..... Our Sponsors: * Check out Hims: https://hims.com/CZABE * Check o...

J.K. Dobbins Is The Inspiration We Need

With all of the garbage going on in sports, it's nice to see the true feel-good stories of perseverance and improbable comebacks. Right now, J.K. is THAT dude. Was it *Tyson* who actually "pulled punches" on Jake Paul? Better than McDonalds? Don't feed the birds. Joe Burrow is sisyphus. Owl season is open. Daniel Jones is Daniel Done.

The Great TV Show About QB's Never Disappoints

Czabe is joined by his usual Monday guest ANDY POLLIN to recap the big stories from Week 11 in the NFL. The Bills slay their nemesis the Chiefs, but we all think they'll need to do it again in January. The Lions are rolling, the Aaron Rodgers Jets Era is OVAH, and maybe Bo Nix is the truth. Also, the Mike Tyson farce... I mean... fight, and Netflix and streaming and Inside the NBA to ESPN. MORE . . .

The $500 Million Mistake

Is it possible to talk too much about Joel Embiid and the towering inferno of wasted money on this guy the Sixers are watching go up in smoke? I think not. MR X joins to give us his Thursday picks, and we delve into the CFB rule book on how teams are learning to "slow walk" the sub rules for their advantage.

It's Bear Hunting Season In Chicago

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the latest attempt to get #1/#1 pick Caleb Williams "on track" in Chicago. Fire the OC! Why not, nobody seemed to like him from the start anyway! The DIC is everpresent and dominates how NFL teams decide to make moves. Charch speaks to 5th graders about fantasy football. Czabe has seen the greatest sporting goods store on earth. MORE.....

Mark It Zero, California!

Czabe flies solo today, and talks about how drunk the Lions v. Texans game was. The uniforms were awful, but the aspiring brick salesman was able to squeak in the game winner. Jerry Jones is talking about the sun. Auburn basketball gets into a mid-air fracas. Top 5 NFL Toilet Cloggers. Spirit Airlines is a shitty airline, that flies to even shittier (and more dangerous) places. Plus America is sick of your vote count bullshit, Arizona and California. MORE.....

The Big Red Tsunami

Czabe weighs in on the return of Donald Trump to the White House, and why the Democrats were thoroughly smashed on Election Day. Why it's good that finally smart non-politicians are getting into the game. Never bet against Elon. Keeping your expectations low. Then MR X joins us to talk NFL and the "7 Things That Drive Him Crazy" and we highlight Week 10's best games. Plus Mr. X releases his documented 13-4-1 TNF pick, total, and prop. MORE.....

Hey, forget the election! How about we put to bed once and for all the debate about Daylight Savings Time? Sadly, some of us think it makes perfect sense and don't mind it. Seems like many people, like my guest PAUL CHARCHIAN, do not! We debate. You decide. Also, we talk NFL trade deadline, things I think about way more than I should, and the joy of buying new tires?

"If This Were Madden, They'd Call It A Glitch"

Czabe flies solo again, but it's still a BANGER. He runs down all the mayhem from Sunday in the NFL, plus his (wise) early exit from rain-soaked Lambeau field. Saquon Barkley does something that LITERALLY has never been done before. (If it has, send pics!) Dennis Allen gets canned. Michael Thomas murders Derek Carr on socials. The Cowboys are screwed, and Nick Sirianni is a total idiot. MORE . . . Our Sponsors: * Check out Hims: https://hims.com/CZABE * Check out Indeed: https:// indeed.com/CZAB...

Frankly Speaking, He Still Ain't "Big Game James"

Another brutally disappointing loss for Penn State and James Franklin to OSU. So what do you do? He's good. He's got the program on solid "power" footing. But is there anybody better out there?

The Father-Son Prophecy Comes Home

When LeBron James talked about wanting to play in the NBA with his son Bronny, he was still in high school. But like The Chosen One moniker he wore when in high school himself, sure as shit he made it happen. At least I give him props for that. MR X gives us his weekly update on NFL strategy, back-door covers, and how did the numbers shake out for Week 7. We also make our picks for Thursday Night Football between the Rams and Vikings.

"In The End, Money and Evil Always Prevail"

If you are a modern day MLB fan, you just have to live with the fact that life ain't fair to the littles. And the league is 90% "have-nots." That said, Juan Soto is an outrageous talent, who authored an at-bat for the ages in putting the Yankees through to the World Series. ANDY POLLIN joins me, as the Commanders get a QB scare before demolishing the hapless Panthers anyway. The Texas v. Georgia game set a dangerous new precedent. Tony Bennet says "check please" to the NIL world. And what will "...
