Our Editor's Take

Steve Czaban has been making audiences laugh and analyzing sports for over 30 years. CzabeCast is a show where the veteran sports commentator enters the podcasting realm. Listeners who have come to love Czaban's antics and commentary will find more of the same value here.

The podcast host began his career in sports media in 1990 as an announcer for UC Santa Barbara athletics. He worked at KTMS-AM 1260, which led him to various stations over the next several years. Since then, the host has worked for many top sports networks. This podcast continues the conversation.

Czaban has become known for his incisive sense of humor over the years. With episode titles like "Fire This Moron" and "If They Die, They Die…" it's clear that the host has no problem sharing his opinion. Those who like sports talk shows with a bit more "kick" and candor to them will likely enjoy this podcast.

CzabeCast offers reporting on stories from the most prominent leagues in the world, like the NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLB. Most of the podcast focuses on football, especially the Washington Commanders. Czaban is equally happy to call out both Ron Rivera and Commissioner Roger Goodell as he sees fit. Fans have come to expect and appreciate this kind of brutal honesty from Czaban.

Czaban will host special guests from time to time. Sportswriter Paul Charchian has been a guest on the podcast. These episodes add a change of pace and additional insights to the show. In addition, sometimes the show discusses non-sports topics. The "Dude, Where's My Rear Aft Emergency Door?" episode is an example. The episode talks about Michigan winning the NCAA's College Football Playoff National Championship. Then the show shifts from CFP to talk to aviation conversations. The host invites a pilot friend to talk about an emergency exit door falling off a Boeing plane. The pilot explains what happened in a way everyone can understand.

CzabeCast airs new episodes from Monday to Thursday of each week.

You will encounter gross incompetence in life, young Jedi. It will stun you. It will infuriate. But, you must try to navigate around it. ANDY POLLIN joins to discuss the NFL Draft, pay tribute to Howie Schwab, and explain why Jayden Daniels' agent was chirping after a "speed dating" visit to the Commanders. Is the NFL getting any better at doing this? The draft used to be in... (checks Wikipedia) November? Rally 'round Caitlyn gets absurd. The NBA has made its gambling bed, and now they must lie in it.

I welcome back PAUL CHARCHIAN and explain why I needed a "load management" day. Also, UConn finishes what it's started. Coach Cal gets out of dodge, while strollering his doggo.

The Storybook Ending Gets Stuffed In A Locker

The Storybook Ending Gets Stuffed In A Locker

Normally, an undefeated juggernaut that had overcome losing 5 starters from a team that went to the Final Four and lost (to Iowa, no less!) coming back to avenge said loss and then cutting down the nets... would have been "chef's kiss" perfection. Instead, it denied the sports world the ultimate Caitlyn-gasm ending. ANDY POLLIN joins me to discuss. Will Clark be a "wave" or a "tide" that lifts all women's basketball boats? In the men's bracket, UConn beats a fierce Alabama squad as "Mt. Edey" awaits. Dome games suck for hoops. "Who's got the duct tape? I'm out..." plus media musings as Norby gets whacked, and our boy Andrew Siciliano meets "The Turk" at NFL Network. MORE . . .

Stephon Diggs His Way Out of Buffalo

Stephon Diggs His Way Out of Buffalo

A shock trade on a Wednesday afternoon in the NFL, as the Bills were desperate to get out of the Stefon Diggs deal for just a 2nd rounder and a giant "dead cap sandwich" to eat. On paper, the Texans look awesome and guest PAUL CHARCHIAN already has a 22-1 SB ticket on Houston for next year.

Cue The DJ: NC State Is A Banger!

Is it the "greatest run" in NCAA Tournament history? Depends on how you classify "run"? Do you have to win it all? Or just make the Final Four? Does relative conference strength matter? Or just the improbability of it all? Any way you slice it, NC State is one of the best sports stories in years. Zach Edey and Purdue punches through. Bama loves threes, I mean LOVES them. Kim Mulkey "hit piece" by the Post didn't land many (any) blows. Caitlyn vs. Bayou Barbie has center stage on Monday night. Home Depot bitching: slacker help, and merchandise "hide and seek."
