    As you can see, you Polish proverbs will not work here. You have a lot of monkeys in your circus.

    Outrage!!! The Steve Czban Show was by far the best sports show EVER! I hope you finds a new home soon – I am especially missing “you are looking live” – Fridays will never be the same.

    What I truly missed this morning was hearing if the J-man broke down in tears as his Giants threw away the game. I love local football on a Monday…but after an hour I needed my more general coverage, not to mention what I presume would have been 2 hours dedicated to the passing of The Golden Bear.

      The Golden Bear is still alive. The King died. I look forward to Czabe’s post on Arnie’s passing.

    my commute…this morning, Monday, was just that… a commute….getting from point a to point b (2 hrs) . another cry of silent anguish this morning, because my morning commute used to something I actually looked forward to…….English muffin (with low-fat butter & honey), cold can of diet-coke, and the Czabe, Steve & Solly. I ask for so little in life, and this was special…….damn.

    Been on vacation. Got back yesterday, get in the car this morning and almost drove off the road due to falling asleep listening to ken W for a couple of minutes. Hoped you were on vacation, but found out your show was replaced. UNBELIEVABLE!! Hope you and the boys find a home soon. Maybe BR Report in the morning instead of their recap crap. My morning drive won’t be the same. All the best to all of you in the future.

    By the way, Czabe, any chance they could podcast your Sunday morning golf show on ESPN980 like they do most other shows? I always wished you’d talk more golf in the mornings anyway, so that’d be better than nothing, but ain’t nobody got time for catching a live audio stream that early from parts further west!

    This can’t be happening! I have been pulled into your vortex and now rely on the show to get me through my work mornings! How’d Ya Like was how i made sure I didn’t miss anything over the weekend and now its gone. Its bad enough to live in the Factory of Sadness during football season, but I won’t even have you to rub it in anymore! Find your voice soon back on the airwaves!!!

    With you guys no longer on air, my morning routine has been absolutely screwed for the last week. I love local 980 Rayskins sports talk, but it’s not the same as knowing that I can determine where I am in the week by sending in and listening to other people’s HYL, ISDW, (Rotating Feature), ISDW and LIU texts, calls and emails. Current radio sucks. I need my favorite show back.

    Over 1500 mentions on Twitter in 6 days that I can count. If only 2% of audience reacts and writes and only 1/3 of audience is on Twitter – that translates into about 225,000 pissed off people.

      And if they’re all the 1%ers that means Czabe had 22.5m listeners!

      Pretty… pretty good.

    Czabe come back soon, not sure I can make it without you and your cohorts “hot takes” on the issues of the day. I immediately went and subscribed to the Sports Reporters and you and Andy have a great local show. I don’t really care for Washington sports, but it is the best I can do. I miss Scott and his wishy washyness and there is not enough Solly on the local show, but it is still great. I also listen to you on BNB when I get the chance. Good luck to you sir and come back to the National airwaves quick please.

    I’ve listened to you since 2004. We’ve traveled many miles together on morning commutes. Your show is the best; nothing else like it out there. I actually looked forward to those commutes. You felt like friends. Now, it’s just a drive to work. Hope you find a way to come back somewhere.

    Since meeting you in person on Spring Bender 2016 and letting you know you’re the reason why I finally became interested in ALL sports, I think your cards are headed for something much bigger than radio!
    How about a take over of the “Dan Patrick Show” which has grown stale in my opinion, and needs someone like you who not only gives the public a great review of current sport highlights, but your excellent live personality that shows through in your expressions, exuberance and your catalasmic humor!?!!
    I think you’re up next for your own tv sports show Czabe! ?

    Steve Czaban,
    I have been a listener, a fan of sorts but when it comes to your “dedicated followers” my sister, Paula, must be the biggest fan of ’em all. You truly instilled the passion of sports for her. For many years she has followed you, listened to your shows, went on spring bender, and even submitted some artwork once for some “donkey” golf shirt. I dunno???. My sister would have me listening to your show and have to recap it for me on days she found it especially captivating. Showing me 100 photos of you instead of the scenery in Mexico, really.,?! Now I am not saying I would ever stop loving my sister, but until you are back on the air in some fashion it could potentially make me like her a little less. You know I now have to see her stagger around aimlessly as if she lost her best friend. I’ll be the one who has to listen to all of the “OLD” archived Czaban stories and console her broken heart. How will I fill those two hours of morning sports chatter, when I just want to sleep? Whatever you need to do, do it so I can have my fun loving, excited over Czaban, sports enthusiastic, bright eyed morning girl back. Commercials for viagra, synchronized swimming commentator, pigeon racing host, start a petting zoo “pig caller”???, I BEG OF YOU this can not be the end of your shows, for my sisters sake and my sanity. In all seriousness you are much loved because you are great at what you do. I know this isn’t the end. I’ll pay anything to get you back on the air. Jen

    Czabe I hate that they took you off the air. I have listened to the podcast of your local show but it’s just not the same. I hope the Steve Czaban Show will find its way to the airways again. I would even settle for a podcast.

    You’ve been canned and they put that bovine blowhard on the 4 letter? It boggles the mind. Who’s ass can I kick for this idiot decision? Everything I know about sports I learned from you and the boys. I actually sound knowledgeable!!!? Just tell us what we need to do to get you back on. I echo every other sentiment expressed here on your page. World is going to hell in a handbag. Er… basket. Now it’s like waiting for football season in March. Godspeed brother. Hear you soon.

    I still have Hour 3 of the final podcast left (with Sean Salisbury) on my iPhone. Still haven’t been able to listen to the rest of it. Hoping you’re back (with the other knuckleheads too) soon.

    My car rides are quiet now that there are no more Czabe Pocasts. I had to laugh last night when my three year daughter just kept singing, “I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, a cocktail bar.”

    You have picked up a new listener on The Sports Reporters afternoon show so I can get my Czaben fix. It is not the same but will do for now.

    Looking forward to you getting back on a national broadcast!

    XM channel 203 has Dan Patrick at 9am and NOTHING from 6-9am East. How about getting your peeps on the line and getting your show back on Sirius/XM?!?! I’d be ALL IN!!

    I will NOT be listening the new Linn, Solly, Murray show on SB Nation. So they can Czaban and replace him with Murray on the show essentially??? Not for me!!!

    Do people go to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for the wedge salad? How about the sweet potato casserole? No, you go there for the steak. Czaban is the DAMN STEAK!!!! What complete fools! Pathetic!

      Sean, I agree….it’s hard to the listen to the SB Nation podcast, without Czabe. I have no idea why the owners/producers would make this decision – makes no sense at all. I would love to know the details in all of this. However, I find myself listening to them, just hoping that Czabe will call in! I wonder if he is on a caller blacklist??
