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....

Week 10 in college football pulled the plug on a number of things. Ohio State's playoff hopes, Kyle Whittingham's 2027 existence in Ann Arbor, the illusion that Lane Kiffin is actually a good coach. Czabe walks through the college football landscape. Special Guest: Former MEAC Referee RON TAYLOR talks about the controversial "no catch" call for Miami against Notre Dame. NFL Week 9 saw the Packers eviserate the Packers with bomb after bomb to Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. The rest of the NFL cream is rising to the top. Trade deadline rumors abound.

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

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.

Czabe is back from Vegas, and has thoughts on the two close call collapses by the Brewers in the 9th inning, plus the real reason why you can't challenge "check swings" via replay - well... yet. 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. Plus Czabe announces his blackjack retirement and thoughts on any future visits to Las Vegas. MORE......

Czabe is in Vegas this weekend for some golf and R&R (plus to watch the Brewers in the World Series!) and he caught up with Sirius XM's J.T. The Brick to talk Raiders, the new A's Stadium, and the state of the sports media biz. 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. RIP to Dan Davis, "The Duke" the dean of the modern sports radio update anchors. MORE.....
