"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 ma
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.

"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."

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.

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 t
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
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 George
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?&#
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
The Kyle Shanahan Crash Story Is Now In "Aurora Borealis Territory"

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.

Charch Went to Philadelphia. It Did Not Go Well. At All.
Czabe is joined by PAUL CHARCHIAN who had a nightmare airline delay story for the ages, and a harshly critical review of a supposedly good cheesesteak joint in the City of Brotherly Love.

The Odyssey is going to be awesome, with two big exceptio
The Home Run Derby To Netflix Continues To Erode Our Sports Cohesion As A Society

Too Many Jalens In The NBA, But There's Only ONE Brunson!
Czabe re-caps the Knicks hammer close of the Spurs in Game 5 to claim the title. It's one of the most impressive runs an NBA team has ever made in the playoffs, full of domination, determination, and a few small miracles in between. Are the Knicks "likable?"

The Long Winding Road Back For The NBA Finals' "Script F"
What's in a logo? A lot. Especially for a league and its brand. Good thing the NBA didn't try to make "Showdown '82" a permanent "thing."
