Call of The Century

April 08, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 46.6 MB

This was a perfect storm on Saturday night. A close (but legit) foul on a dead-eye shooter, a missed violation that even the courtside announcers didn't initially recognize, and icewater veins to sink three winning free throws with the world watching and 0.6 on the clock. Wow. What a "guy!" Final Four recap with "Mr. X" and Texas Tech comin' in "Guns Up" for history.

If Coaching Was Just Yelling, We'd All Be Vince Lombardi

March 25, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 46.5 MB

Tom Izzo stirred up the perfect sports radio shitstorm of hot-takes and media-one-upsmanship with each other late last week. "Oh yeah.. .well I COACHED YMCA once!" I have a very waffling take on Izzo. You'll hear it inside this episode. But we start with Duke, Mt. Zion, Tacko Fall, and everybody's armchair refereeing of the final minute of that game. We'll talk perfect brackets, and whether or not one can successfully "fade themselves" when the cold streak comes. All that, plus an earbud revi...

That's One Monster Trout!

March 20, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 47.6 MB

So much for Bryce Harper being the "highest paid player in MLB history." He had the dubious "record" for all of like 11 days.

March 19, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 43.5 MB

Gee, guess what's in today's CzabeCast? A recap of Rory at the Players? Ha! Not even me, a complete Rory-stan, is gonna waste your time with that noise.... today. (Okay, maybe tomorrow...) Instead, I've got the real real story behind "Come on and Watch Some Basketball" as well as my first draft bracket. Which totally sucks, and will be replaced with a more thoroughly researched bracket... which will suck even harder. Welcome to March, people. It's the best! Want to advertise on this podcast?...

Steelers Get Run Over By Antonio Brown

March 11, 2019 08:00 - 49 minutes - 36.9 MB

If you would have predicted in August, that Antonio Brown would lead the league in TDs and also get thrown away for a 3rd and a 5th by March, the paddywagon with the straightjackets would have drove up to your fantasy league draft party. But here we are. How the Steelers botched this thing, 8-ways to Sunday.
