Czabe has decided that if we're gonna talk some gambling on Thursdays, then let's really get into it. In addition to Mr. X and his usual slot, KEVIN O'NEILL talks about how sportsbooks have basically co-opted state regulators because governments are too reliant on this new money. GIL ALEXANDER talks about the prop-shaving hellscape in sports, and how Jontay Porter was able to piss away his house on Russian table tennis matches. Then Mr. X talks about the inconsistency and illogic of the upcoming 24-team playoff and the current CFP committee dog-and-pony show. MORE....

Czabe talks about the Brewers with their hands on the trophy for about 10 mins late Tuesday night in Tampa.

The Pat McAfee "Backlash Era" Has Begun

Oct 27, 2026 52 min

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.

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.

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.

"I'm Not Going To Pay A Lot For This Trailer Park Prostitute!"

Aug 25, 2026 45 min

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 a*****e. The shield was behind Mike Tirico getting c**k-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?
