Czabe talks again about the incredible finish to the WBC, with baseball-crazed Venezuela, down on their political fortunes, ousting the USA in a tight finish. What can make this decidedly imperfect event even better going forward? Dick Vitale and Charles Barkley make a basketball game into a (bad) podcast. Barkley doesn't understand anything about NIL and anti-trust. PAUL CHARCHIAN swings by to ask Czabe "10 Important Questions" about concerts, sports and Vegas.

What would an expanded tournament look like, even though nobody is talking about it? The Bruce Pearl and "nepotism" argument. Teams to shade, teams that might surprise. The Atlantic stakes one of their writers to a $10,000 bankroll to see if he can win betting the NFL. It went just about like you thought it would.

The Cat Ate My Bracket

The Cat Ate My Bracket

2026-03-1701:06:36

Czabe welcomes BRIAN BUTCH and ARMEN SARYAN to the pod to go deeper into the March Madness brackets. What are "fade points" of the top seeds? What matters more? Good coach? NBA lottery pick? Solid point guard? Bracket nuggets and trends. NBA looking toward expansion. Sonics to get their history back? The population "bomb" was a dud. Just admit it. Rethinking my audio standards.

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod to discuss the NCAA tournament bracket, Bruce Pearl's non-stop whining, and how the system has been systematically rigged against the (medium) guys. Also, Rick Pitino is a coaching legend, and also a coaching lizard. Can you root for a guy like that? "Ethical hoops" and the nature of Bam Adebayo's 83 vs. the Wizards. Sports radio may have jumped the shark, but do you need to brag about it? The rise of Fanta and Larry David's 3rd echo of Seinfeld like humor.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the show, fresh off the golf course, where he's busy finding out how hard (but fun!) the game can be. They talk about the shocking reversal by Eric DeCosta and the Ravens on the Maxx Crosby deal, and also how badly Mark DeRosa screwed up the World Baseball Classic. Plus Charch again flexes his man card skills talking about re-wiring his ATV to be street legal. Also Czabe bodybags the stupid Bam Adebayo non-record "record" that is as fake as the astroturf on your grandma's porch.

Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to the show to talk movies, Oscars, and the sad decline of Cinderella and the magic of Selection Sunday in the NCAA. Meanwhile, the NBA has cancelled "strip club night" in Atlanta. A Czech electrician is the feel-good story of the WBC. Another massive marathon screw-up has happened. And Urban Meyer could really recruit future murderers.

Czabe welcomes back ol' running mate BRIAN BUTCH, and is shocked to hear him spout a very "establishment" take when it comes to the P5 conferences vs. everyone else. Free agency in the NFL is off to a "crackalackin'" start, even though some teams need to put in an insane asylum for their choices at QB.

Trump's "Saving College Sports" RoundtableCzabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN on a Monday, to start NFL free agency and discuss March Madness as well. President Trump's "Saving College Sports" roundtable was mostly PR and optics. But that said, something has to give, before schools go broke. Hooray for Daylight Savings Time! Celebrate Miami of Ohio, don't rip them. Remembering the JetSkins. Andy was dead ass wrong about something, and a listener lets him have it with both barrels.

Czabe welcomes ARMEN SARYAN to talk about ref fatigue in college hoops, and the ejection of Bill Self with a brilliant game ops "kiss" on his way out. Czabe also give an eye-popping stat about "Senior Night" in college hoops, and an abject lesson in how sports can (and should) teach you about life. Czabe needs a bed on Wednesday night in Vegas. A $48 ATM surcharge? Joe Lunardi bodybags Bruce Pearl.

Czabe welcomes fellow uber-nerd PAUL CHARCHIAN to discuss the usual wide range of topics. Including how AI has solved an old stone "board game" and it's rules, there's a CEO "burger war" that has turned hot, the Vikings are pondering (at least) "5 Unthinkable Options" and the Bengals just thorougly botched the whole Trey Hendrickson contract negotiation.

Czabe welcomes Mr. X to the program to talk about why he's decided NOT to retire and is running it back for at least one more year! Betting on prediction markets? Keep your head on a swivel. The shadiness of Kalshi and other prediction betting platforms. Teaching your sons how to gamble responsibly. Czabe needs Texas Hold 'Em advice, and quick! The new MLB "Robo-Ump" (ABS - Automated Ball-Strike system) is going to be a wild ride of unintended consequences. The NFL media is now covering for athletes at the NFL Combine who don't quite measure up to expectations. A good play call for "3rd and a mile."

Czabe welcomes ANDY POLLIN to the pod to start off your March! Andy talks about the Paul McCartney documentary. Czabe marvels at the size of the Eruzione family house growing up. Marathoners get led astray. A dirty trick is to kill the lights on a 3 on 2 in OT. Aaron Glenn caught snoozing. How stupid and worthless is the combine? Will Maryland basketball be able to bounce back quickly? McDonald's CEO cuts cringeworthy viral ad for the "Big Arch" burger.

Czabe welcomes old 97.3 The Game colleagues BRIAN BUTCH and ARMEY SARYAN to talk college basketball and more. Can the NCAA really snub a team that might finish 32-1? How badly did the Packers botch their special teams coach leaving after the hiring cycle was over? Czabe weighs in on the USA men's hockey team "controversy" attending the SOTU, and a bunch of responses to the Penn State episode with John Ziegler.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN back after his stint at the FSGA conference in Vegas. They get nerdy about "vibe coding" and AI going rogue. How Derek Stevens ended up building Circa Resort and Casino. Malik Willis is going to be wildly overpaid by somebody. Have the Vikings already soft-benched JJ McCarthy? A dude accidentally hacks into 7,000 robotic vacuums worldwide. X-Box is truly, utterly, finished.

Czabe recently made his first-ever visit to Penn State, and was pondering what it must have been like when the Sandusky scandal broke back in 2011. And now with "the benefit of hindsight" he welcomes back JOHN ZIEGLER who has done the most exhaustive deep dive into what he calls the greatest injustice in modern America history. A destruction of lives and legacies, in a rush to satisfy a moral panic. Also, why most Penn State-ers have no appetite for the actual truth, they just want to avoid sounding complicit, and are happy the whole episode is behind them. Listen with an open mind.

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 follow for all future skaters and gymnasts. Duke and Michigan battle it out on a neutral court. ESPN's standards for fact-checking and production are so low now that they can't be counted on not to fuck up a graphic of a tragic athlete suicide. It's inconceivable how little some of the highest-profile and highest-paid media "stars" are these days.
