Czabe welcomes CHRIS KNOCHE and MR. X to The Palm steakhouse in Tysons Corner, VA to talk about the latest in college basketball and beyond. What would an expanded tournament look like, even though nobody is talking about it? The Bruce Pearl and "nepotism" argument. Teams to shade, teams that might surprise. The Atlantic stakes one of their writers to a $10,000 bankroll to see if he can win betting the NFL. It went just about like you thought it would.

Czabe welcomes BRIAN BUTCH and ARMEN SARYAN to the pod to go deeper into the March Madness brackets. What are "fade points" of the top seeds? What matters more? Good coach? NBA lottery pick? Solid point guard? Bracket nuggets and trends. NBA looking toward expansion. Sonics to get their history back? The population "bomb" was a dud. Just admit it. Rethinking my audio standards.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod to discuss the NCAA tournament bracket, Bruce Pearl's non-stop whining, and how the system has been systematically rigged against the (medium) guys. Also, Rick Pitino is a coaching legend, and also a coaching lizard. Can you root for a guy like that? "Ethical hoops" and the nature of Bam Adebayo's 83 vs. the Wizards. Sports radio may have jumped the shark, but do you need to brag about it? The rise of Fanta and Larry David's 3rd echo of Seinfeld like humor.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the show, fresh off the golf course, where he's busy finding out how hard (but fun!) the game can be. They talk about the shocking reversal by Eric DeCosta and the Ravens on the Maxx Crosby deal, and also how badly Mark DeRosa screwed up the World Baseball Classic. Plus Charch again flexes his man card skills talking about re-wiring his ATV to be street legal. Also Czabe bodybags the stupid Bam Adebayo non-record "record" that is as fake as the astroturf on your grandma's porch.

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to the show to talk movies, Oscars, and the sad decline of Cinderella and the magic of Selection Sunday in the NCAA. Meanwhile, the NBA has cancelled "strip club night" in Atlanta. A Czech electrician is the feel-good story of the WBC. Another massive marathon screw-up has happened.

Czabe welcomes back ol' running mate BRIAN BUTCH, and is shocked to hear him spout a very "establishment" take when it comes to the P5 conferences vs. everyone else. Free agency in the NFL is off to a "crackalackin'" start, even though some teams need to put in an insane asylum for their choices at QB.

Czabe welcomes ARMEN SARYAN to talk about ref fatigue in college hoops, and the ejection of Bill Self with a brilliant game ops "kiss" on his way out. Czabe also give an eye-popping stat about "Senior Night" in college hoops, and an abject lesson in how sports can (and should) teach you about life. Czabe needs a bed on Wednesday night in Vegas.

Steve Czaban and Ben Standing hold down the fort with JP and BMitch out on a foggy Thursday from the DMV.

Czabe welcomes fellow uber-nerd PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the usual wide range of topics. Including how AI has solved an old stone "board game" and it's rules, there's a CEO "burger war" that has turned hot, the Vikings are pondering (at least) "5 Unthinkable Options" and the Bengals just thorougly botched the whole Trey Hendrickson contract negotiation.

Czabe welcomes Mr. X to the program to talk about why he's decided NOT to retire and is running it back for at least one more year! Betting on prediction markets? Keep your head on a swivel. The shadiness of Kalshi and other prediction betting platforms. Teaching your sons how to gamble responsibly. Czabe needs Texas Hold 'Em advice, and quick! The new MLB "Robo-Ump" (ABS - Automated Ball-Strike system) is going to be a wild ride of unintended consequences. The NFL media is now covering for athletes at the NFL Combine who don't quite measure up to expectations. A good play call for "3rd and a mile."

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod to start off your March! Andy talks about the Paul McCartney documentary. Czabe marvels at the size of the Eruzione family house growing up. Marathoners get led astray. A dirty trick is to kill the lights on a 3 on 2 in OT. Aaron Glenn caught snoozing. How stupid and worthless is the combine?

Czabe welcomes old 97.3 The Game colleagues BRIAN BUTCH and ARMEY SARYAN to talk college basketball and more. Can the NCAA really snub a team that might finish 32-1? How badly did the Packers botch their special teams coach leaving after the hiring cycle was over?

Malik Willis is going to be wildly overpaid by somebody. Have the Vikings already soft-benched JJ McCarthy? A dude accidentally hacks into 7,000 robotic vacuums worldwide.

Czabe recently made his first-ever visit to Penn State, and was pondering what it must have been like when the Sandusky scandal broke back in 2011. And now with "the benefit of hindsight" he welcomes back JOHN ZIEGLER who has done the most exhaustive deep dive into what he calls the greatest injustice in modern America history. A destruction of lives and legacies, in a rush to satisfy a moral panic. Also, why most Penn State-ers have no appetite for the actual truth, they just want to avoid sounding complicit, and are happy the whole episode is behind them. Listen with an open mind.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to discuss the final exclamation point from Milan, as Team USA wins gold in overtime in men's hockey, making it a perfect pair of overtime moments with the women. Poor Canada, this was maybe worse than actually becoming our 51st state! Also, we talk about Lindsay Vonn and when "discretion should be the better part of valor." Alysa Liu didn't just steal the games, she gave a template to follow for all future skaters and gymnasts. Duke and Michigan battle it out on a neutral court. ESPN's standards for fact-checking and production are so low now that they can't be counted on not to fuck up a graphic of a tragic athlete suicide. It's inconceivable how little some of the highest-profile and highest-paid media "stars" are these days.

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to talk about some of the amazing moments and scenes from Milan. Also, Hollywood has been on a mini-run lately, and Matt is here for it! Czabe also talks about the Tony Clark fiasco with the MLBPA, and maybe my devices are both eavesdropping on me for targeted ads, but also spying on me? The Robot Revolution is on our doorstep.

Czabe flies solo today as he's traveling to Arizona with his mom and daughter. The NBA Draft Lottery is worse than before, but Czabe has a simple proposal to return the league to "normal law" before making any more counter-productive "fixes." The Olympics still deliver the human drama that should resonate with everyone, but there's always a few "bah humbugs" out there. The feds are stepping in to help fix the "Poo-tomac" (Potomac River). Who knew bridges took that long to build? Plus bored apes, bangers, and what "Real Feel IQ" would look like.

Czabe welcomes ol' pal BRIAN BUTCH to the show and they discuss the latest coaching drama in college basketball, as well as what winter Olympic sport would be the most terrifying. Maybe AI is about to usher in a golden age of new movies? Nobody asked for Mayweather vs. Tyson, but well, here we are.

Czabe and ANDY POLLIN hook up to discuss the hopeless state of the NBA's All-Star Weekend from soup to nuts. Every single metric, attitude, and soundbite is in the absolute shitter, and Adam Silver has run out of ideas. Even the bad ideas. Of which he finds many. The NFLPA somehow loses what should have been an easy arbitration win over their annual survey. The Canadians are cheatin' fucks when it comes to the "sport" of curling. And maybe giving your wife a $1M Ferrari for Valentine's is a sub-optimal idea.

Czabe delivers a monster Thursday episode - 1:42! longest ever! - because he just won't shut up! First up is a theory he has about whether the Redskins turning into an expansion team called the "Commanders" might have helped - just help - doom the Washington Post sports section. MR X jumps in with his Super Bowl thoughts. Meanwhile, even CNBC is starting to call bullshit on entities like Kalshi and Polymarket about unregulated speculation markets. And now Giannis is an endorser! Something's gotta give, and it ain't gonna be good. Then, as a bonus, Czabe drops in on BRIAN BUTCH and his new podcast "The Bear's Den." Enjoy, and chew slowly!

Czabe delivers a massive triple-header today! First, he weighs in on the pros/cons of Olympic legend Lindsay Vonn deciding to ski on a torn ACL, and then break her leg crashing while trying. Also, we get a consult from Dr. BRIAN KOCH an actual orthopedic surgeon on the situation. Czabe shares a snippet of his weekly Monday chit-chat with Scott and Solly on *their* pod, then MATT MUELLER swings by to discuss all the good, bad, and the whaaaaa? of the Super Bowl ad slate.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Czabe recaps one of the dullest Super Bowls in at least a while (shoutout to the Patriots' 10-3 win over the Rams in 2019!) and why it was obvious the Patriots had no chance after the first few drives. When did you know they were cooked? The Sam Darnold redemption arc. Some thoughts on Bad Bunny. ANDY POLLIN joins the show to talk about the death of the Washington Post sports department and what might come next. Also, the life and times of Sonny Jurgensen. Trying to decipher the Anthony Davis trade. MORE....Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Czabe sits down with JP FLAIM and "CAKES" AUVILLE to cut it up about JP's new book "Faith Restored" about the Commanders miracle 2024 season, plus why Cakes is a poker fanatic and how he once almost let blackjack ruin him financially. We talked about cheating our way through high school chemistry, the time JP decided he'd try boxing and write a book about it, working at amusement park Wildworld (aka Six Flags). All that plus the wretchedness of the Dan Snyder era in DC, and why neither JP nor Cakes actually grew up as Redskins fans. A great chat at MGM National Harbor where we enjoyed their back lounge area at Tap restaurant! (Thank you: Joe Pudlick and Ken Smith!)Our Sponsors:* Cheesesteaks from Philly? Deep dish from Chicago?

The legend of "The King" George Michael at NBC4, what it means to be a good dad in today's sports age. Plus the most electrifying 60 second or less bursts of mayhem in sports history.

Czabe flies solo today with a loaded agenda. First up: the absurdity of making Shedeur Sanders—now somehow the martyr of the 2025 NFL Draft—a Pro Bowl Games alternate at QB. Things get taken away as you get older. It's a fact of life, and Southwest Airlines just proved it with their final open-seating flight now in the books. Paul Allen bends the knee, but it won't be enough. A hard truth: the Easter Bunny is fake, but paid protestors are real. Did an NFL poster actually foretell this year's Super Bowl LIX matchup? Neutral-site NFL Championship games are a completely horrible idea, which naturally means Mike Florio is all for them.

Okay, so that's a bit harsh. Dude made one HELLUVA throw to force OT. But the Rams somehow survive. Czabe recaps the thrilling finish to the weekend, by calling HIS MOM who was utterly thrilled with the Bears losing for reasons she can only explain. ANDY POLLIN joins the show to talk about the Broncos-Bills game, and the controversial catch/INT and how NY based reviews of NFL games is totally corrosive to any kind of trust. C.J.

Czabe enjoys a "Power Lunch" with STEVE BUCKHANTZ and CHRIS KNOCHE. The ex-coach just got off a red-eye from Los Angeles. While Buck is dreading playing golf in Orlando in a bone chilling 53 degrees. The boys talk about the broken state of college sports, great coach quotes in history, what does the phrase "the dogs bark, but the caravan moves on...." really means. And Buckhantz has the weirdest pet peeve ever about a very well respected NFL network play-by-play man.

Czabe begins by pointing out the NFL's shameless disregard for integrity by leaving their options open regarding the outcome of Steelers vs. Texans. The state of officiating in the NFL is pretty bad. Even if the actual refs are really good. SCOTT DOLPHIN gets his victory lap, and all Bears wins from here on out are pure gravy. The "Pack Nutz" group of ERIC GITTER, JASON OTTUM, and BRYAN WOLF discuss the merits of firing Matt LaFleur.

Are the Vikings sold on J.J. McCarthy? K-Balls, Trackman, and the rise of deep bomb kickers like Cam Little. The NFL's playoff seeding used to be much worse than it is now.

Sometimes the NFL is so good, so amazing, you would otherwise swear it's scripted. The Steelers and Ravens staged a classic in Game 272, with a double-twist at the end which left fans gobsmacked, and Rodgers still standing - at least for one more game. Czabe walks through the wreckage of an otherwise bleak Week 18 slate, full of statistical oddities and the first coach firing already on the board. Plus the odds to win it all, and the TV schedule for Super WildCard Weekend! Then ANDY POLLIN joins me with son JEREMY POLLIN to recap how glorious (and wet) it was going to the Rose Bowl to see Indiana stomp out Alabama. Is the SEC a ponzi scheme? What if Kurt Cignetti is like the Carrie Underwood of college coaches. Plus, the continued sad state of journalism and sports media. Czabe gets weather nerdy about the DC region's final 2025 numbers.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN, who needs advice on how to teach his non-golfing wife how to golf. Even though he sucks too! Advice for moving to a "warm Christmas" state. The 49ers are the T2000 Terminator. They just keep coming. Aaron Rodgers sucked on Sunday, and a 14-year-old kid in his basement did the full tape breakdown. Could Malik Willis become the next "Vegas QB Wedding" victim of a short sample size? They remade the "Battle of the Sexes," and it once again pissed off feminists.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to discuss this hypothetical. Also in there, Mike Tomlin doing Tomlin things again, the case for firing objectively good coaches, some statistical nuggets from Week 17, was the Phil Rivers experiment a heartwarming little episode, or a waste of time?

Czabe has slipped this little Christmas gem into your podcast feeds today. ARMEN SARYAN and MATT MUELLER talk about the iconic Home Alone movie, which has way more Christmas in it than Czabe previously admitted. Some say there's a Jesus "cameo" of sorts in the movie. We'll explain, you be the judge. Also, what was American Airlines thinking, spending sponsor money just to have the movie script make them look bad!? A lovely 30-minute deep dive into a Christmas movie classic!
