  Mr. X Smells Football In The Air, Emerges From The Summer Woods 13.08.2026 56m

  Czabe welcomes back MR. X to the pod, as it's been a while. It was a tough summer for him, as he lost his father. But I get the "Growing Up X" backstory, including how he was on a youth soccer team that ran the table on everybody in Northern Virginia. We talk about baseball, and the looking shutdown after the season. The Skubal trade and if it made sense. What lit a spark under the Red Sox, and are there similarities to the 2003 Marlins. Who knows who is good in college football with all of the NIL mayhem? Mike Trout's "Red Wedding" golf outing at the trade deadline. To Survive or Not to Survive, that is the question.

  The "Pack-A-Day" Podcast's Andy Herman 11.08.2026 56m

  Czabe interviews a guy who made it out of drab Human Resources and is now a fixture covering the Green Bay Packers, Andy Herman. How he did it, and what he learned along the way. The new Highmark Field is getting low marks for seat obstructions and tinytrons, not jumbotrons. Their "Nickel City" alt's aren't doin' great either. The Fall Guy calls it a career.

  The Kicker Roasts The Modern Lombardi 10.08.2026 1h 4m

  The Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend is in the books, but not before just the 3rd kicker inducted into the Hall, Adam Vinitieri, decided to dunk on his former coach in New England's face with several searing one-liners. The bigger problem with the HOF induction process. Sophie Cunningham gets clotheslined, and yet her own coach defended the player who did it! Now two ex-NBA players threaten to call the W's bluff on transgender players. You can't just flag down a 737 like it's an Uber. Phillies "superfan" pays big money just to call one inning of baseball on TV. Akron's viral play-calling promotion. #EliteTweets and listener feedback.

  Golf, Bowling, Steak and Baseball - A Spectacular "Quad-fecta!" 06.08.2026 38m

  Czabe recounts his jam-packed day of adult man-fun with Josh Albrecht, Eric Gitter, and Bryan Wolf in Milwaukee. It was fun to see the roles reversed on who sucks, and who is good in the two different sports. Christian Yelich is hard to watch at the plate right now, but imagine how hard it is for guys who were former apex predator-caliber athletes to simply stink at their sport? We learn about the Wisconsin State Fair and what a " Sporkie " is as Josh admits his wife is more into the crazy foods than he is. Plus, LIV 2.0 is a "go" (we think) but it's more like a move into hospice care, for a bad idea, that was never ever going to make money.

  The Knives Are Out at CBS For Romo 05.08.2026 41m

  Surely, CBS doesn't want "out" of the Romo business, do they? Well... maybe. Just maybe. Hard to believe, with all of the far worse stuff that broadcasters have been accused of, that Romo might lose his $18 million a year TV gig over a garden-variety DUI. But here we are. Also in the episode, Who Killed the Switchboard, Tank Commanders, Smack the Rookie Kicker, MARTY CONWAY from Georgetown talking sports business, FIFA, LIV, MLB lockouts and Goodell. BMW hijacks owners' NAV screens; the miracle of Neuralink could be on the doorstep.

  A Day At Packer Training Camp, Up Close and Personal 04.08.2026 48m

  Czabe is in Green Bay, WI, home of the Packers, to observe a day of football practice up close. Mind you, it's not even a tackle practice, but it's still enough of a close encounter with athletic freaks that it makes you appreciate the NFL even more for the $25 billion annual spectacle that it is. Aaron Rodgers kept receipts, and he cashed 'em all in on McAfee. But was he "right?" Jerry shops for curtains. Bunt brawl in a rainstorm. Deshaun, please read the room. And these may just be the "good ol' days" so you better enjoy them while you are in them.

  Skubal For An Old Weedwhacker, Sounds Fair 03.08.2026 41m

  Czabe gets behind the hibachi and just cooks today, solo. As the Dodgers really have broken baseball, and people's brains with a deal for ace pitcher Tarik Skubal, that does not pass the smell test. Is it collusion, or just giving up? Why baseball is different than football, for 500 million different reasons. The origin story of "Number 1 Bullshit" and also "Let Him Cook!" Plus thanks for getting me out of Russian prison, but I don't think this relationship is working out. Adult summer camp? Sign me up!

  The Kyle Shanahan Crash Story Is Now In "Aurora Borealis Territory" 30.07.2026 45m

  Czabe welcomes his Utah friend PAUL CHARCHIAN to the pod, as they discuss his decision to get internet from "Mike" in the neighborhood, instead of Starlink. Idiot. The Guinness count was off the charts in Ireland. Charch has thoughts on Fauci taking the 5th. The Kyle Shanahan crash story is entering "aurora borealis" levels of non-believability. Tony Romo bodycam footage doesn't look great. Is "strict" Monopoly actually a good board game? (Spoiler: no). Czabe has his "Hedy Lamarr" star turn a with a lengthy, but fascinating bit of facts about a bird, you may not have even been aware of.

  Fauci's Perjury Diary Might Be The Dumbest Idea In History 28.07.2026 44m

  Of course, this little narcissistic elf should be in prison. But I am keeping my expectations low. If not non-existent. And of course, nobody who once worshipped this fraud will admit they were duped. So let's get back to baseball scores, okay? Michael Lombardi put on leave at UNC as Belichick college disaster spirals. ESPN black queens still can't stop taking shots at Caitlyn Clark. It's an utterly un-serious league. Disturbing details about Kyle Shanahan's injuries. A 30 for 30 on Shohei's gambling isn't going to do much to convince anybody with a brain who knows how gambling works.

  Does Gaelic Football Have Its Own Version of The Red Zone? 27.07.2026 1h 2m

  Czabe is back from his impossibly perfect Irish golf holiday, and boy has he missed a lot. A few thoughts from Ireland and the stunning upset in their version of the Super Bowl. ANDY POLLIN joins to talk about how insanely over-covered the whole Ryan Clark firing is. The melting media ice cube shows no mercy. Mike Vrabel hides behind a dog. LeBron chooses Philly. The WNBA is writing even more insane chapters of stupidity and self-sabotage. Nancy Armour is a woke idiot. Bryson got slick, got caught. It's a Dirty Old Town....

  England Parked the Bus, Then Argentina Blew It Up 16.07.2026 1h 17m

  Czabe reacts to the scintillating World Cup semi in Atlanta, where dejected Brits were sent home, humming sad echoes of "It's (not) coming home..." NICK LAUGHNER of the Cleansheet EPL joins to discuss. Also RYAN GLASSPIEGEL of Front Office Sports pops on to talk Seahawks sale, the WNBA's insane destruction of their golden goose Caitlyn Clark, and more.

  Charch Went to Philadelphia. It Did Not Go Well. At All. 15.07.2026 47m

  Czabe is joined by PAUL CHARCHIAN who had a nightmare airline delay story for the ages, and a harshly critical review of a supposedly good cheesesteak joint in the City of Brotherly Love. People now want to go places to get out of the digital hellscape. Ticket prices are responding accordingly. Sony getting rid of physical video game media. The Odyssey is going to be awesome, with two big exceptions. The "other" Air & Space Museum at Dulles is even better than the one downtown. British Open week, and Czabe explains why he wasn't sad that Tom Watson choked one away at Turnberry.

  The Home Run Derby To Netflix Continues To Erode Our Sports Cohesion As A Society 14.07.2026 46m

  I mean, look I get it. Just about everybody has Netflix, but it's just more friction, another couple of steps and clicks, and once you start putting stuff out of reach of casuals, it's bad for sport. CZABE goes solo today, and gets into sweetheart deals in the NBA, drafting a guy in MLB as a favor and turning it into a Hall of Fame career. The fight over "permanent" daylight savings time is at a crossroads, Freddy LA7 still thinks anybody gives a shit about his travels, and having cool tech is one thing, knowing how to fully use it, is another.

  More Christian McCaffrey's, Less Christian Pusilic's 08.07.2026 49m

  Czabe breaks down the USA's absolutely 2 a.m. ugly loss to Belgium in the World Cup with NICK LOCHNER of the "Cleansheet EPL" as they "pie chart" the blame to go around. Also, Czabe says USA and soccer is like growing mushrooms in a sandbox. You can try, but it's gonna take a lot of effort. VAR is used to absolutely rob Egypt of a huge goal, and yet somehow the soccer world isn't really outraged enough.

World Cup Nick, NICK LOCHNER of the Cleansheet EPL joins me to analyze several great days of football. Also, my former morning show running mate BRIAN BUTCH joined me to talk about idiots like Malik Beasly betting on his own prop bets, as well as his LeBron destination hunches and why he just doesn't believe in paying for fireworks.
