Just kidding. Carmelo Anthony is added to the Olympic team. It's just another week in the NBA, where standards drop daily. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe062508.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe062508.html?15696 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:15:00 CST Firing someone is never easy. It smarts. It stings. It's the ultimate rejection. "We no longer want you." There is no massaging that hard truth and nothing could have softened the blow. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe071808.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe071808.html?15623 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 05:17:00 CST Big Brown's unexpected collapse was a 3-in-1 combo platter of humiliation in sports. While humans play the "blame game," Big Brown provides a cautionary tale about unmet expectations and overconfidence. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban061108.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban061108.html?15539 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:25:00 CST Mets manager Willie Randolph, who is on the hot seat after a collapse last season and a slow start in '08, wondered aloud if race is a factor in his situation. Steve Czaban says yes, but not in a detrimental way. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban052808.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban052808.html?15370 Wed, 28 May 2008 05:10:00 CST National sports columnist Steve Czaban likes to visit the grassy knolls of sports on occasion.

The Celtics needed seven games to win. How did everyone miss the boat? http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban050708.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban050708.html?15166 Wed, 7 May 2008 05:22:00 CST At first blush, San Antonio's decision to foul Shaquille O'Neal early and often in their first-round playoff series with the Suns seems "bush league." But, it's working. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban043008.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban043008.html?15071 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:25:00 CST Gilbert Arenas' blog and Deshawn Stevenson's comments are stoking the fires of the Cavs-Wizards series -- and not in a good way for Washington. Lebron James (right) is using it as motivation. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban042308.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban042308.html?15015 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:19:00 CST Patriots coach Bill Belichick (pictured) and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would like the story to go away, but former New England video aide Matt Walsh holds the cards. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban041608.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban041608.html?14929 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:15:00 CST What, did you really believe that 10-year contract nonsense? Were you buying that Crean had found a "home for life" at the gritty, gutsy, urban basketball program where Al McGuire once famously coached the Warriors to glory? Please. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe040908.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe040908.html?14852 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 05:25:00 CST North Carolina star Tyler Hansbrough is an excellent college basketball player, but his biggest supporters on the bench and in the media go a bit overboard with their praise. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban040208.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban040208.html?14768 Wed, 2 Apr 2008 00:07:00 CST It's a challenging issue, but national sports columnist Steve Czaban thinks it's time for the NCAA to allow "challenges" for calls -- and non-calls -- in basketball. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban032508.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban032508.html?14663 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 05:21:00 CST The win-or-else mentality that permeates major college basketball puts coaches in a tough situation and forces them to make tough ethical decisions. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban031908.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban031908.html?14595 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 05:15:00 CST It's more popcorn shrimp than gourmet meal, but OnMilwaukee.com national sports columnist Steve Czaban has a lot on his mind this week. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban031208.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban031208.html?14515 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 05:22:00 CST Packers quarterback Brett Favre called it quits and he clearly had gas left in his proverbial tank. That leaves national sports columnist Steve Czaban to ask "Why?" http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban030508.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban030508.html?14436 Wed, 5 Mar 2008 05:05:00 CST It's staggering to think how a two-time national coach of the year, having just landed a prime job at Indiana, could commit career suicide. For reasons known only to him, Kelvin Sampson did it. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban022708.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban022708.html?14356 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 05:11:00 CST While other teams are dumping high-priced players to sidestep salary cap problems, Washington remains frozen.

Unless, of course, it's Patriots coach Bill Belichick at Super Bowl XLII. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe020608.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe020608.html?14133 Wed, 6 Feb 2008 05:25:00 CST Talking about luck as a sports fan is largely pointless. You can't game-plan for, or against it. Nobody brags: "We got so lucky!" But, it exists. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban013008.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban013008.html?14063 Wed, 30 Jan 2008 05:23:00 CST National sports columnist Steve Czaban never pretended to "adopt" Green Bay as his favorite team. But, he feels badly for his Wisconsin friends that the Packers lost. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe012308.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe012308.html?13993 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 05:28:00 CST Any donkey can make pre-season picks.

Today, Steve Czaban says "Eee-aww!" http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban011608.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban011608.html?13914 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 05:17:00 CST After a spectacular regular season, the BCS Championship game victory by LSU seemed a tad anticlimactic. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban010908.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban010908.html?13839 Wed, 9 Jan 2008 05:25:00 CST OnMilwaukee.com national sports columnist Steve Czaban remembers the daredevil who inspired unforgettable moments and a cherished toy. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabanknievel.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabanknievel.html?13752 Wed, 2 Jan 2008 05:08:00 CST National sports columnist Steve Czaban looks back at the past 12 months and sees dogfighting, a cheating referee and other thing he doesn't want to see again. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe2007review.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe2007review.html?13659 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 05:27:00 CST Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick is in federal prison because of his own lack of judgment and the lack of intervention by friends inside and outside his circle. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban121207.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban121207.html?13571 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 05:18:00 CST In a college football season filled with highs and lows, a handful of coaches distinguished themselves by making horrendous decisions. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban112807.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban112807.html?13429 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:19:00 CST A lot of pundits are talking about parity spreading through college football and basketball.

So why did the league assign a rookie referee to work the game? http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban110707.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban110707.html?13227 Wed, 7 Nov 2007 05:29:00 CST What if the top college football teams were Halloween treats? It's not a rhetorical question for OMC national sports columnist / candy expert Steve Czaban. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban103107.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban103107.html?13151 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 05:27:00 CST After leading New York to 12 straight playoff appearances, manager Joe Torre was rewarded with a low-ball offer that forced him to quit. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban102407.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban102407.html?13083 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 05:24:00 CST Sometimes, things that are obvious need to be said.

Why does Czabe mock the Irish? Because it's fun? http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban092607.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czaban092607.html?12782 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 05:24:00 CST Patriots coach Bill Belichick lost some money and a first-round draft pick for his role in "VideoGate," but he deserved to be suspended. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabebelichick.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabebelichick.html?12702 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 05:28:00 CST OMC national sports columnist Steve Czaban, big fan and regular critic of the "Worldwide Leader in Sports," presents a list of his favorite personalities on the network. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabanespnhonorroll.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabanespnhonorroll.html?12641 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:27:00 CST OMC national sports columnist Steve Czaban is a traditionalist when it comes to tried-and-true standards like the NFL logo.
