A Brief History of Colossal NFL Officiating Blunders

Maybe the Josh Allen 4th down review belongs on the list, maybe not. Either way, reasonable people with a brain and eyes knows they should have given him the first down. That said, there were other atrocities that some of you may not even know about. Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss, in addition we debate being a "Chip Dipshit" and the fallacy of "Full Time" refs. Plus, the Cowboys presser for Lil' Schotty went about as bad as one would have expected. Plus, when is it okay to switch fand...

It Just Don't Hit The Same

While the Commanders have the DMV all a-buzz with Superbowl hopes, there's a gigantic hole in the fabric of the franchise in the wake of Snyder's mismanagement and the loss of the name and logo. The time has never been more ripe to address and reverse that injustice than right now. MR X joins the show as Czabe walks through some somewhat surprising numbers on the Bill and Josh Allen vs. the Chiefs. The Commander's season is very similar to the Bengals a few years ago.

An Absolute Disaster of Accuracy Lately

Okay, let's mop up a fairly sizeable list of errors by El Baldo as of late, and try to be better in the future. Starting with a big one: the Hindenburg disaster.

MVP Collision Course in Buffalo

The early returns on the NFL's "Wildcard Weekend" are "meh" at best, but next weekend is gonna be a blockbuster for sure. Headlined by two utter studs, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Who deserves the MVP? Who cares, can't we just enjoy greatness? The Packers lay a dud against the Eagles, and replay once again shows it's as worthless as tits on a bull. Justin Herbert is a really good QB who all but 6 teams would fight for. So what if he's a "social media" QB. Greg McIlroy has horrific notions of s...

Then the fellas get into the college football landscape where Mr. JMU Buck is still salty about both basketball and football getting raided in the portal last year. Dog shit etiquette.

I Didn't Buy An Investment, I Bought An Occupation

Jerry Jones is unapologetic about being the GM of the Cowboys. But he's also a bit delusional because he's not doing a good job. BRYANT HATCHER joins Czabe to discuss the fallout from Week 18's final games, "Black Monday", was Mayo done wrong in New England? Why did the Packers play Christian Watson with a bad knee?
