Givin' It the Ol' "Hock Tua!"

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!

Czabe and PAUL CHARCHIAN cut it up over being goaded to buy a Utah rich man's toy. The Epstein email dump and the NFL's quandary. Bill Gates is a scumbag, but his ex-wife is filthy rich. Robert Kraft denied the HOF. A "cheese-backed economy" is a thing. Cheese wheel pasta, for the win! PGA Tour prediction pools. CzabeVegas update.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN and Washington Post beat reporter GENE WANG to discuss the dark days facing the Post and their sports department. Czabe explains how critical it was for guys like Gene and others to "flush out" the stories, quotes, and details of the players, coaches and teams we follow, to then blow them out of the sky like ducks who had been flushed. 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. Hagler-Hears 1985. Franz Klammer in '76 Olympic Downhill. Virginia's OT miracle vs. Purdue.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN, a Hall of Famer himself (Fantasy Sports Hall of Fame, Class of 2013), to discuss the absurdity of an 8-time Super Bowl-winning coach being made to "wait outside" the Pro Football Hall of Fame while a small gaggle of reporters throw a hissy fit over Spygate. Get over it already. Also: Google has been eavesdropping the whole time, and yet nobody is going to jail. Nobody ever does. Dem Skittles are poison, don't ya know? The great spinach lie exposed. Thoughts on the Paul Allen situation in Minnesota Vikings radio. MORE.....Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Czabe welcomes back former morning show co-host BRIAN BUTCH to dissect the Green Bay Packers' maddeningly timid, conservative approach. What's wrong with this team? Brian has some theories. The guys also debate the biggest cities in Wisconsin, discuss Butch's college basketball road adventures this season, and it's officially time to get hyped for CzabeVegas 2026!

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.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the absolutely bonkers presser with Bills owner Terry Pagula and GM Brandon Beane. Looks like Keon Coleman gonna take the blame for everything! Meanwhile, this off-season has seen some of the more incredible story lines in coaching hires, from uninspiring re-treads like Saleh to Tennessee and shocking "no thanks" to Cleveland from Mike McDaniel. A 10-seat churn and burn, after a 7-seat game of chairs last season. Will the NFL ever slow down?
