A destruction of lives and legacies, in a rush to satisfy a moral panic. Also, why most Penn Stat...

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to discuss the final exclamation point from Milan, as Team USA wins gold in overtime in men's hockey, making it a perfect pair of overtime moments with the women. Poor Canada, this was maybe worse than actually becoming our 51st state! Also, we talk about Lindsay Vonn and when "discretion should be the better part of valor." Alysa Liu didn't just steal the games, she gave a template to fol...

Czabe flies solo today as he's traveling to Arizona with his mom and daughter. The NBA Draft Lottery is worse than before, but Czabe has a simple proposal to return the league to "normal law" before making any more counter-productive "fixes."

Czabe welcomes ol' pal BRIAN BUTCH to the show and they discuss the latest coaching drama in college basketball, as well as what winter Olympic sport would be the most terrifying.

Also Puck News' JOHN OURAND tells us why NBC might have screwed itself with the NFL, by overpaying for the NBA. More....

Czabe and ANDY POLLIN hook up to discuss the hopeless state of the NBA's All-Star Weekend from soup to nuts. Every single metric, attitude, and soundbite is in the absolute shitter, and Adam Silver has run out of ideas. Even the bad ideas. Of which he finds many. The NFLPA somehow loses what should have been an easy arbitration win over their annual survey. The Canadians are cheatin' fucks when it comes to the "sport...

Czabe shares a snippet of his weekly Monday chit-chat with Scott and Solly on *their* pod, then MATT MUELLER swings by to discuss all the good, bad, and t...

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.

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 ...
