Pour One Out For The NFL Pro Bowl, It Had Been Sick For A Long Time

Czabe welcomes Mr. X to talk about the death of the Pro Bowl, ESPN's "ticker," the misconceptions on "Rover and Overs," why flag football makes financial sense to the league, and more. Are ESPN's special "Interview Games" in MLB (i.e. Field of Dreams, the LL Game) more of an annoyance? How the MLB playoffs are shaping up, with such an imbalance in depth of good teams in the AL and NL? Jeff Passan gets community noted to the moon and has to delete a tweet. Stupid Little League baseball "trick plays."

Czabe welcomes Fantasy World's PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod as they discuss the passing of music legend Dolly Parton. Some interesting stats and facts about Dolly, who was truly larger than life. Should NFL teams play ANYBODY of significance or even practice at full speed in August? Nobody knows, but that's the way "it's always been done." The origin story of "Factory of Sadness." Browns parody set to "Allentown" by Billy Joel. NFL Unveils "Rivalry Jerseys" as we have now entered the NFL uniform "multi-verse."

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 man, in another land, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving asshole. The shield was behind Mike Tirico getting cock-blocked from the original Thursday Night Football in favor of "Over The Hill Al," and what happens IF the league needs network TV more than the other way around?

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. I guess the guy never watches his own film, because he fucking sucks. Shedeur might suck even more, but I guess we're going to find out. Czabe goes solo on a busy Monday, as we are at "Week Zero" in college football, where it's now beyond the wild west with players portalling BACK INTO college after being cut by NFL teams. Nutso! A young baseball fan loses her entire purse, but hangs onto the home run ball.

Czabe welcomes Fantasy World's PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the usual wide swath of notable topics. Charch reminds people "we back up" on his podcast and fantasy work. The NFL wants teams in Europe, but there's a problem I don't think can get solved. ZZ Top drummer dies. The argument about "schlock" songs vs. "their good stuff." Real sports should do "fantasy punishments."

Czabe welcomes back MATT MUELLER, aka. "A Man About Film" to discuss a variety of his passions, including this magical Brewers season, the Miz phenomenon, and what would be the biggest disaster possible once October arrives. Also, the Dodgers' financial world is unraveling; what does that mean for a possible lockout? The Field of Dreams Game got shit ratings. Will Netflix ever truly be a destination for live sports?

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." The Jayden Daniels #5 thing has jumped contain and gone viral, but what is the ultimate lesson to be learned here? Pat McAfee puts out an album. Better than Shaq's rap albums, but not as good as Terry Bradshaw's country discs.

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. But I get the "Growing Up X" backstory, including how he was on a youth soccer team that ran the table on everybody in Northern Virginia. We talk about baseball, and the looking shutdown after the season. The Skubal trade and if it made sense. What lit a spark under the Red Sox, and are there similarities to the 2003 Marlins. Who knows who is good in college football with all of the NIL mayhem? Mike Trout's "Red Wedding" golf outing at the trade deadline. To Survive or Not to Survive, that is the question.
