Czabe talks about the Brewers with their hands on the trophy for about 10 mins late Tuesday night in Tampa. Now, can they rally behind staff ace The Miz and close it out, or will things get very dicey heading back to Milwaukee? The NBA injury plague is real, and worse than ever. Justin Tucker is not an axe murdered, people. And Mr. X joins to talk baseball managerial choices, analytics and where it fails, plus a look at Week 8 NFL lines and our weekly Thursday selections.

Czabe, Andy and Gene open on a "super sports equinox," a night when all four major leagues and the WNBA are active, and debate whether October is the best sports month. Gene votes for April. Andy shares stories from his Seattle trip to see his son and grandson, and the group trades food and family anecdotes. They then dig into the WNBA, where the Finals is tied 2-2 and a possible Game 6 was moved to noon Thursday because of an arena conflict. They argue the league has botched its moment and has effectively split into two, with a "Caitlin Clark league" on top of the rest. The NFL talk covers Dan Campbell's aggressive call and the unbeaten Vikings, with a debate over whether their defense can carry Kyler Murray. They also cover Anthony Davis and the Wizards, Jalen Williams' serious injury, and the NBA's new prediction-market deals.The second half turns to media. Czabe sees a backlash building against Pat McAfee, reads a Cornell study on why overconfident people seem to succeed, and discusses Mike Wilbon's attack on the New York Times and the decline of newspaper sports sections. They close with the Knicks' botched championship-ring rollout, which included a phishing-style email to employees.Our Sponsors:* Check out Goldbelly and use my code CZABE for a great deal: https://www.goldbelly.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code CZABE for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.com* Check out Uncommon Goods and use my code uncommongoods.com/CZABE for a great deal: https://www.uncommongoods.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Czabe is back from Vegas, and has thoughts on the two close call collapses by the Brewers in the 9th inning, plus the real reason why you can't challenge "check swings" via replay - well... yet. The personal foul calls in the NFL are beyond out of control. Cam Skattebo with a first: an offensive un-necessary roughness while running with the ball! Dan Campbell still is a 4th down idiot. Plus Czabe announces his blackjack retirement and thoughts on any future visits to Las Vegas.

Czabe is in Vegas this weekend for some golf and R&R (plus to watch the Brewers in the World Series!) and he caught up with Sirius XM's J.T. The Brick to talk Raiders, the new A's Stadium, and the state of the sports media biz. The Terps pull the plug on Locksley, the NFL is flirting with disasters on multiple fronts, and the WNBA has split into two leagues, regardless of if they like it or not. RIP to Dan Davis, "The Duke" the dean of the modern sports radio update anchors.
