"The Most Overrated Annual Event In American Sports"

Czabe went wild on a Monday. First, with a check-in from ANDY POLLIN to talk about the charmed ride that John Sterling had as the voice of the New York Yankees, when they were really good! Also, Czabe gets mic-to-mic with his old producer and sidekick, JOSH ALBRECHT, for the first time in over a year and a half! He's joined by MATT MUELLER on the sacred "May the Fourth" be with you, Star Wars nerd holiday! They also talk about the Brewers' "Wisco" City Connect 2.0's, the death of Spirit Airlines, and more! Bring your appetite, this is a big one!Our Sponsors:* Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my code CZABE25 for a great deal: https://www.trollcoclothing.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Czabe flies solo today, and there's a ton of good stuff to think about. Starting with this: how come nobody pushes back on the NFL when the Draft closes schools(!) and shuts down museums and parking lots and roads? Is there not one uncorrupted politician out there willing to say "no!" The Celtics choke away a 3-1 lead to the Sixers. Inside the NBA "goes there" on it's "Gone Fishin' Segment." Why did Dianna Russini make $1 million a year anyway at the Athletic? Spirit Airlines, goes under. GameStop (them?) wants to buy Ebay. Kelsey Plum's $1 dollar mis-understanding of marginal tax rates. God Bless the Savanna Bananas and their owner who just won't "sell out."

The NCAA Tournament is expanding to 76 teams — and nobody asked for it. Steve Czaban and Kevin Sheehan break down why the Field of 76 is a classic case of league executives solving a problem that didn't exist, and what it signals about where college basketball is headed. Plus: reactions to a spicy early NBA playoffs, the death of Washington Football legend Monte Coleman, the latest on LIV Golf's uncertain future, and the viral video corner.Our Sponsors:* Check out Troll Co Clothing and use my code CZABE25 for a great deal: https://www.trollcoclothing.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Czabe sums up the current sports hellscape, with the latest downward trends in sanity and decency. Brenden Sorsby is a degenerate, but he's hardly alone. The feds flip their first in the big NBA card rigging conspiracy case, and the tournament is expanding. SCOTT LINN and STEVE SOLOMON make an appearance as I present a chunk of my "road game" with the boys on their podcast this week. We talk about the NFL draft, how useless and stupid it is to go in person, and the very awkward Mark Rypien announcement of the Commanders' 3rd-round pick. Then Czabe ends on a happy note, with two uplifting sports stories, among all the nonsense.

Czabe welcomes the ladies to a Power Lunch at the Palm in Tysons Corner, VA. Carol reveals why she basically ghosted Czabe for a year, but it was with a good excuse. She also says she's going to "Lindsay Vonn" it on her torn ACL when it comes to her newfound love. Julie talks about how local TV news reporters have to compartmentalize covering the mayhem and broken people in the world and still live a sane life. The ladies talk about the Dianna Russini situation, with Carol having worked with Dianna at NBC4 back in the day. And there's even more bonus sports-y stuff on the front end of today's monster episode.

On a whim, Czabe decided to drive 1:20 to see ANDY POLLIN in his natural, unshaven Sunday habitat and eat some Chinese food and watch some NBA playoffs. The fellas talk about radio longevity, the NFL Draft, Diego Pavia and the "Johnny Manziel" effect. There are too many things still not adding up about the Russini-Vrabel story. The NBA playoffs have been a wild (but very injured) ride so far.

Mike Vrabel finally got smoked out of his hiding hole on "La'Affaire du Russini" and he sure didn't do her any favors, with a firm non-denial side-step of "can we all just move on here" presser. PAUL CHARCHIAN joins the show, and we talk about what counts as a "good" NFL draft pick depending on the round. It all comes down to the number of games started, in Czabe's opinion. Why Judge Smails was actually the "good guy" in Caddyshack. The best-case Kyler scenario in Minnesota. Ant Man vs. The Joker is epic TV, albeit on too damn late for anyone back east to see. A recap of the "Holy Fuck" concert with Charch's nerd buddies in DC. Endless shrimp is back, baby!

* With the draft barrelling down on us, NFL teams are starting to find their wallets for key guys. Brandon Aubrey becomes the NFL's newest "Golden Leg." Trent Williams gets his bag from the Niners.

You can get the full episode over there. Tom Dundon is a cheap ass. But is he wrong? Tim Cook did his job, now stepping down at Apple. You got some balls, David Brooks. Audi Crooks robs a bank in broad daylight.

Czabe goes through his "basics" on how not to fuck up the draft. ANDY POLLIN joins the show as a proud grandfather for the 3rd time. Is LeBron somehow "under-rated?" I'm not going to pay a lot for this NBA head coach. Andy's thoughts on the Commanders new "old" jerseys and new spear addition to their secondary helmet logo. The draft is "NFL Woodstock". NBA should institute a first-round "mercy rule" of 3-0. Nike runs a cheeky storefront slogan, immediately caves to the ninny's. Czabe mulls the very future of any more "tableside" podcasts.
