In case you didn't hear...i think his words were..he is giddy of the recent trade for Jason Taylor. He didn't have enough good things to say.

On his morning show he really doesn't talk too much skins so I can't vouch for the local one.

Just to rehash a couple of his takes the last couple years...

Mark Brunell is not getting it done

Gibbs 2.0 is a play not to lose offense that's too conservative

I think that those points were pretty accurate. Say what you want but he is a skins fan, he just tells it like he sees it. That's why they call it an opinion.

That's exactly why I don't like Czaban. He is telling it like he sees it.

Of course, if he were more inclined to research a point before he went off on it, it's possible he might have seen the 16 players or coaches on the 2006 Redskins more responsible for that mess than Mark Brunell, or the fallacy behind debating playcalling -- namely the sweeping generalization that "playing not to lose" actually entails. It's classic sports radio talk. There are multiple ways to win a ball game, and every one of them results in not losing the game.

Technically, there are no standards for sports talk radio, it tends to be a fourm where wacky opinions are thrown out without any sort of fact checking or journalistic credibility. So people know what they are getting when they listen to sports talk on the radio, and generally the hosts know too. It's opinion.

But when a host can't see that his opinion is no more important than anyone elses, then he's an asshole. Steve Czaban is an asshole.
