8-14-26 Hour 3 - Broncos flying under the radar/Solid Nuggets schedule, Field of Dreams game/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 16:18:25 +0000

0:00 - Are the Broncos flying under the radar nationally? This morning on Get Up, Dan Orlovsky said the Broncos are the best team no one's talking about. They're a legit Super Bowl contender, but they're not getting enough love.

14:23 - The full '26-'27 Nuggets schedule was released yesterday and it's SO much better than last year. The travel schedule is way more forgiving. We wonder if someone heard at the NBA Headquarters heard Vic bitching on airwaves last year and decided to do something about it...
After that, the Field of Dreams game was played last night between the Phillies and Twins. Did you know it was happening? Did you know it was on Netflix? It seems like the MLB did a horrible job promoting the game.

32:02 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

Today's edition includes: T-Rex arms and seal noises, sniffing up the right hole, touching my knobs, and not a good gargler.

8-14-26 Hour 2 - Improving the Run Game, Mendoza's debut/Cal Raleigh's collapse/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos desperately need a bruiser RB. Someone who can hit the hole, drag the pile, and fall forward for extra inches. Who's gonna be that guy?
Also, did you watch Fernando Mendoza's debut with the Raiders last night? He looked pretty damn good. But he's having trouble adjusting to living in Sin City.

13:53 - Cal Raleigh has fallen off the damn map. Last year, he was a legit AL MVP candidate. This year, he's living below the Mendoza line. Big Dumper ain't so big anymore. Have we ever seen a drop-off like this before?

32:16 - Oh, by the way...Jayden Daniels wants LSU to give him back his Heisman replica now. Sheesh, this story keeps getting worse.
Oh, by the way...you know what sporting events need? A fruit stand! Would you eat a fresh peach or a plum in the stands at a Broncos game? Vic would.
Oh, by the way...someone coded an app that sends text messages at the speed of a carrier pidgeon.

8-14-26 Hour 1 - Waiting all day for FRIDAY NIGHT/Full Nuggets schedule released/Focused on QB & RB

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Friday Night Preseason Football is as good as it gets. Broncos being their preseason campaign on the road at Atlanta TAHNIGHT. What will we be looking for tonight? Wins and losses don't matter in preseason. So what DOES matter?

14:42 - Yesterday, all 30 NBA teams released their full schedule. And the Nuggets one actually isn't terrible! The traveling and back-to-backs isn't as brutal as it was last year. Vic's complaining actually worked!

33:28 - Two things we'll be focused on throughout the preseason: QB and RB. Can Stiddy shake off his AFC Championship backwards pass demons, or will Ehlinger overtake him? Can Jonah Coleman establish himself as a power back who adds depth to the roster?
(BTW, in case our singing didn't make it clear, we were jamming to "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers coming back from commercial break.

8-13-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Top MLB Teams, Russell Westbrook calling it quits/QBs need to SLIDE

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:47:18 +0000

0:00 - Let's preview Broncos preseason Game #1 with our Broncos Insider, Jeff Legwold of ESPN. Why isn't Bo Nix playing int he game? What does Jeff think of the first depth chart with Stiddy as the #2 QB ahead of Ehlinger? Is he worried that the Broncos don't have any healthy centers?

17:00 - We're getting to the dog days of the MLB season. Who are the top teams in every division right now? How far away are the Rockies from ever getting to that level.
After that, we were SUPPOSED to talk about Russell Westbrook retiring, but we went down a weird rabbit hole instead. But then, brought it back around. When the story of the NBA is written, how will Russ be remembered?

32:38 - Brian Burns of the NY Giants praised Jaxson Dart because he's learning how to slide this offseason. How hard is that to learn? It's DEFINITELY something every QB needs to know.

8-13-26 Hour 2 - New stadium renderings released/NBA G League open tryouts/Oh, By the Way

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:32:06 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, the Broncos released another batch of stadium renderings, specifically for the area around the stadium. The redeveloped land around Burnham Yard. And it looks like there WILL be space to gather and tailgate, but it won't be a wide-sprawling parking lot. It'll be a different arrangement.

13:37 - Lots of NBA G League teams, including the Grand Rapids Gold (Nuggets affiliate), are holding open tryouts this summer. Anyone can participate for a small fee. Would you give it a shot? Turns out, Vic's tried out for lots of sports teams during his prolific athletic prime.

32:09 - Oh, by the way...Jayden Daniels has banned LSU from using his name, image, and likeness because they're letting another player wear his #5.
Oh, by the way...Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy is "pretty confident" Steph Curry will finish his career as a Warrior, but ultimately it's Steph's decision. So...Nuggets trade for Steph Curry?
Oh, by the way...Netflix is releasing a documentary about RayGun, the Australian breakdancer from the 2024 Olympics. Yes, THAT breakdancer.

8-13-26 Hour 1 - No Nix in preseason game #1/Russell Westbrook retires/Pre-preseason rankings

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:21:13 +0000

0:00 - Bo Nix won't suit up for the Broncos tomorrow in Atlanta. We assume Stiddy will get the start, since he's currently listed as 2nd on the depth chart. Does Ehlinger have a shot to pass him on the depth chart? Can he earn that backup job this preseason?
More importantly, does it matter? If Ehlinger played in the AFC Championship instead of Stiddy, do you think the Broncos would've looked significantly better?

16:59 - Russell Westbrook officially announced his retirement. For some reason, he was hated by many NBA fans throughout his NBA career. What made him so unlikeable? Heck, we could've used him on last year's Nuggets team! He would've gotten in Jaden McDaniels' face during the playoffs, that's for sure. He didn't take any crap from anyone.

35:31 - NFL.com released their pre-preseason rankings. They ranked the Broncos as the 2nd best team in the NFL!

8-12-26 Hour 3 - Pushing Peyton Watson to return/John-Michael Liles/Improving Little League sports

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 17:29:28 +0000

0:00 - According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, there was a bit of a rift between Peyton Watson and the Nuggets during his hamstring strain recovery. When he didn't play at all during the playoffs, the Nuggets (reportedly) believed that he wasn't pushing himself so he could protect his upcoming restricted free agency. Do we believe that report at all? Do we think Watson would intentionally sideline himself for the sake of possibly signing a big contract?

16:57 - The Avalanche vs DU Alumni game is coming up next week, so we got one of those Avs alums on the air: John-Michael Liles. How's Johnny feeling about the Avs right now? What kind of a contract extension will Cale command when the time comes?

33:57 - The Little League World Series is happening right now, and watching it gave Vic an idea. He has a solution that will level the playing field across all of youth sports and make the competition more evenly matched.

8-12-26 Hour 2 - Vic's interview with Lutz, Lakers sold AGAIN/Makin' Makar money/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:27:54 +0000

0:00 - Vic caught with with Wil Lutz after practice the other day. What was it like trying to kick a FG in the middle of a snowglobe? (not to keep bringing up painful AFC Championship game memories).
During this segment, news broke that the Lakers were sold again for a cool $12.5 billion.

14:57 - NHL Network ranked Cale Makar as the top defenseman in the NHL. When it's time to pay him, he can name his price and the Avs will pay it. But should he? How big should his payday be?

31:24 - Oh, by the way...Ben Johnson said he wants the Bears to have the highest scoring offense in NFL history, bypassing the prolific 2013 Broncos. Good luck, Ben! More power to you.
Oh, by the way...have you ever found a venomous snake trapped in the lining of your football helmet?
Oh, by the way...could we get Vic to line up for a putt at a PGA event with a Smuckers Uncrustables-themed putter?

8-12-26 Hour 1 - JK Dobbins banged up or not?/Warriors on Xmas Day? Really?/KC's reign of terror is done

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:18:24 +0000

0:00 - JK Dobbins left practice with a soft tissue injury the other day, then returned to practice the next day. He was chirping at the media about our "injury prone" narratives. So, is he healthy or not? Should he even see the field during the preseason? Or should be bubblewrap him?

19:49 - The Nuggets are playing the Warriors in the late slot on Christmas Day. Denver absoLUTEly deserves a Christmas Day game. They're a good enough team to earn that honor. But the Warriors? They're old and bad. There's only ONE reason they made the cut: Wardell Stephen Curry.

36:26 - The Kansas City Chiefs' reign of terror is officially OVA. The offensive juggernaut we once knew ain't comin back.

8-11-26 Hour 3 - Most important Broncos (not counting Nix)/Adam Schefter/Squats are important

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 16:45:08 +0000

0:00 - Who are the most important Broncos players both on offense (not including Bo Nix) and defense?

14:35 - Adam Schefter joined us for a bit, stepped away to field a phone call about some big news, then rejoined us to share the latest headlines from around the NFL world. We wonder what that big news is going to be...

32:48 - Friends don't let friends skip leg day! You can't end up looking like Chris Berman out here! Let's pause the show for a sec so all our hosts can squat up a storm and stay limber.

8-11-26 Hour 2 - Nuggets on XMas Day again/More with Payton & his BFF Kay Adams/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 16:28:24 +0000

0:00 - The full '26-'27 NBA Schedule will be released later this week, now that LeBron James has a new home. But a few dates have already leaked. The Nuggets won't play on NBA opening night, but they'll play at Golden State in the late slot on Christmas Day. Thankfully the Broncos and Nuggets games won't overlap that day.

13:24 - Let's hear more of the conversation between Sean Payton & his BFF Kay Adams. She also sat down with Bo Nix for some piping hot ankle talk.

29:26 - Oh, by the way...a scoreboard error lead to massive confusion in the Red Sox @ Blue Jays game last night. And we still don't understand what happened.
Oh, by the way...right on time! It's the annual tradition! We're hearing reports that Ben Simmons is in the best shape of his life.
Oh, by the way...the Broncos finally solved the final piece of the Burnham Yard puzzle. The Broncos Ownership group purchased SRM Concrete's property. Greg Penner will address the media today to explain the next steps of the plan.

8-11-26 Hour 1 - Kay Adams Day at Broncos Camp/Panathinaikosis back in our lives/No Butt Berman, Lutz's beef

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 16:13:29 +0000

0:00 - Happy Kay Adams Day! She made her annual pilgrimage to Broncos camp yesterday, sat down with Sean Payton, and got him to give real human answers to questions! It's the one time every year we actually get good, natural, free-flowing conversation out of Sean. What did he divulge to his best media friend this year?

15:48 - A few months ago, Brett said this offseason would kill Nuggets fans. And we didn't understand the half of it. Remember our Greek buddies Panathinaikos who waged war on our station last year and tried to steal Jonas Valanciunas? Well, they're back with an even more outrageous offer. And they need to get bent. Again.

32:47 - A video emerged of Chris Berman walking around signing autographs at NFL HOF weekend, and it's maybe the first time we've ever seen him standing! He's always behind a desk! Turns out, Boomer doesn't have a badonkadonk.
Also, Wil Lutz had a bone to pick with the media yesterday. And it got us thinking...are NFL kickers undervalued?

8-10-26 Hour 3 - Turning over the keys to Webb/CFP expansion, elaborate golf scam/Not many serious injuries

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 16:28:12 +0000

0:00 - Will Sean Payton be able to TRULY hand the playcalling keys over to Davis Webb? Will he be able to stay hands off? How involved should he be?

15:44 - The CFP is considering expanding to a 20-team format. Do we like this idea?
After that, a golfer cooked up an elaborate scam/scheme to make it look like he hit a hole-in-one at a tournament this weekend. You've gotta respect the hustle and brains it took to pull it off, but he needs to be punished for that. Severely.

30:39 - The first Broncos preseason game is this Friday and SO FAR **knock on wood** they've only suffered one season-ending injury (Matt Henningsen). Mostly guys are just a bit dinged up. Where does this team need to carry the most depth? Which position group?

8-10-26 Hour 2 - Davis Webb on Bo Nix's progress/Is Jokic being selfish?/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 16:00:04 +0000

0:00 - Davis Webb recently spoke about Bo Nix's progress heading into his 3rd season as the Broncos QB. What's next for Bo, and more importantly, the Broncos offense as a whole?

12:46 - Nikola Jokic hasn't signed his extension yet. The longer he waits, the more money he can make. That's why he didn't sign last offseason, and might wait till this next offseason. Is that selfish? Should he take a team friendly discount like Jalen Bruson so the team has more money to spend?

29:21 - Oh, by the way...candidates for the 2027 Pro Football HOF class have been announced. Who should make the hall?
Oh, by the way...Jacob Wilson of the Las Vegas Athletics of Sacramento via Oakland, has gone 111 consecutive games without committing and error. As a SHORTSTOP! That's insane.
Oh, by the way...remember when the Broncos used to do "rookie haircuts" as a form of hazing? Do you miss it? Or are you happy it's gone?

8-10-26 Hour 1 - Halfway(ish) through Broncos camp/The Brees-Payton Relationship/Bad News Bills

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - We're a little over halfway through Broncos training camp. What have we seen so far? THANKFULLY there's only been one season-ending injury **knock on wood** How are we feeling about the team? Also, welcome back Kaner.

14:59 - Sean Payton and several other Broncos coaches and players attended Drew Brees' HOF induction ceremony this weekend in Canton. In his induction speech, Brees praised Peyton and his insane football knowledge and overly meticulous preparation. The relationship between your head coach and QB makes all the difference.

32:55 - The Buffalo Bills unveiled their new stadium this weekend, and the crowd went...mild. It's a very average/underwhelming stadium for how much money they poured into it.

8-07-26 Hour 3 - HOF Game, Camp news and notes/Denver's Defense by Committee/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 16:59:06 +0000

0:00 - The NFL HOF Game last night was...actually pretty entertaining. Credit where credit is due, man! Not what we expected from a preseason game.
After that, what did Mose & Raj observe yesterday at Day 6 of training camp?

15:11 - Hot Take Alert: the Denver Broncos defense is good. Their defense is built on being "rotational" as Moser calls it. They can rotate so many different dawgs in and out on different plays to keep everyone fresh.

29:45 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

Today's edition includes: Tim HARAR, the first rabbit of training camp, riding Vic's hog, and Janet Jackson's [redacted].

8-07-26 Hour 2 - NFL Load Management/Nix looked annoyed yesterday/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 16:46:14 +0000

0:00 - Courtland "Good Soldier" Sutton spoke to the media yesterday about his consecutive veteran rest days. In the NBA, we use the much maligned moniker "Load Management." Is Load Management making its way into the NFL?

14:45 - Nix looked annoyed during camp yesterday. And it makes sense! He was practicing without Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, then Marvin Mims left practice early with a possible injury. Also, no Luke Wattenberg. It's tough to get a feel for the offense without your center and your 3 best receivers. That's always the struggle with camp. How do you balance getting into football shape while avoiding injuries?

31:55 - Oh, by the way...the Boston Red Sox forgot how to lose. They're on an absolute HEATER and they're closing in on the AL East crown.
Oh, by the way...Taylor Trammell of the Astros hit a DINGER. LOOOOOONG GONE, baby! Except it wasn't. Fly ball caught at the wall. He didn't realize he was out until he'd done a complete home run trot around the bases. Yikes.
Oh, by the way...would you eat at a fancy restaurant in the nude? Completely naked? Dining in your birthday suit?

8-07-26 Hour 1 - Good Soldier Courtland Sutton/ANOTHER Kawhi Leonard wrinkle/Payton on Mike Shanahan

Fri, 07 Aug 2026 16:31:12 +0000

0:00 - Courtland Sutton was asked about his consecutive veteran rest days, and he said he's trying to be a "good soldier" and do whatever the team wants/needs him to do. He sounds like a guy who wants to be out there practicing, but is being told to rest. Do what you need to do to be fresh for a Super Bowl run, Court. That's all we need.

14:43 - Pablo Torre dropped ANOTHER bomb about the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers fraud scandal. There's ANOTHER company that was paying him in a questionable endorsment deal that allowed the Clippers to circumvent the cap. Come ON, Adam Silver! How much more evidence do you need??

35:02 - Sean Payton will fly to Canton today to induct Drew Brees into the Hall of Fame. Somehow, Mike Shanahan is NOT in the HOF, which is a crime against football humanity. Yesterday after practice, Payton spoke about his relationship with Mike and his massive influence on the game of football.

8-06-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold live at Training Camp/More with Leggy/A relaxed day at Camp

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 16:31:54 +0000

0:00 - Normally, he joins us live from his kitchen. Love seeing those cabinets. But today, he joined the fellas live at camp! What has our Broncos Insider ESPN's Jeff Legwold seen from the Broncos through 5 days at camp?

20:08 - We convinced Leggy to stick around for another segment. Such a good guy! What's Leggy's read on Sam Ehlinger? Does he have a chance to become the backup QB at pass Stiddy? Even though Sean Payton told us not to start counting.

33:46 - Today should be a nice relaxed day at camp. It's been 5 straight days of camp, a couple in full pads, guys are getting a little dinged up (nothing to worry about though, says Coach), so we're probably taking it easy today. Tomorrow will also be a chill day, most likely, since Saturday is the scripted practice.

8-06-26 Hour 2 - Forcing your way out, NFL HOF-bound players/How's the offense looking?/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 16:18:05 +0000

0:00 - The fellas had to wrap up their conversation from the previous segment about guys who force their way out of town.
After that, Bill Barnwell published an article with current NFL players he believes are HOF bound or well on their way. Did any Broncos make the list?

16:15 - We've given lots of love to the defense during camp, but how's the offense looking?

33:44 - Oh, by the way...the NFL Hall of Fame game is tonight! The NFL is officially BACK. It's Panthers @ Cardinals. The Cardinals are in a world of hurt right now, man.
Oh, by the way...the Mets called up a pitcher who does the splits after every strikeout. Literally, he jumps up and does the splits in the air after strike 3.
Oh, by the way...It's weird seeing Lane Kiffin in LSU gear. Will he have success there?

8-06-26 Hour 1 - The "Nothing to See" Camp/Defense continues to impress/Nugs sign Lonnie Walker IV

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The theme of last year's training camp: No Drama. We have a theme for this year's camp: Nothing To See. Anytime someone goes down with an injury, Sean Payton says it's fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to see. Jaylen Waddle left practiceearly yesterday. Nothing to worry about, nothing to see here folks.

15:21 - This Broncos defense keeps turning heads! DJ Jones says they could even break the all-time single season sack record: 72 set by the '84 Bears. The Broncos got 68 sacks last year. Could they get 72 this year?

33:33 - The Denver Nuggets signed Lonnie Walker IV. Not Lonnie Walker, Lonnie Walker II, or Lonnie Walker III. They skipped all of those and went to IV. The former Spurs first round draft pick has been playing overseas for a year. What will his role be on the team?

8-05-26 Hour 3 - A loaded WR room/Peyton Watson's qualifying offer/New stadium could kill tailgating

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 16:57:06 +0000

0:00 - With the addition of Jaylen Waddle, the Broncos WR room is LOADED. Will they offload one before the season starts?

14:00 - The other day, Kreckman said if Peyton Watson takes his $6 million qualifying offer from the Nuggets, he won't be a Nugget next year. Do we agree?

32:04 - The plans for the new Broncos stadium don't include much parking at all. It's geared towards taking the train. That could potentially kill tailgating Broncos games once and for all. How will we grill up parking lot hot dogs if...well, there's no parking lot?

8-05-26 Hour 2 - Firing up the offense faster/Vic's interview with Zach Allen/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 16:26:06 +0000

0:00 - If we've said it once, we've said it 1000 times. The Broncos offense NEEDS to start FASTER. If you don't put yourself in a hole early, you don't have to climb your way out of it with 4Q theatrics. Why does Sean Payton think they started so slow last year? Issue with the run game?

13:00 - Yesterday, Vic caught up with Zach Allen at Broncos camp. What's his mentality when it comes to rushing the passer without drawing a roughing penalty? Does he still dwell on the AFC Championship loss last year, or has he moved on?

28:40 - Oh, by the way...how much would you pay for an elite NFL kicker?
Oh, by the way...do you want to be the offensive coordinator for the Akron football team for the first series of the first game? If you're a season ticket holder, that dream could happen for you.
Oh, by the way...the NHL has eliminated the EBUG position (Emergency Back Up Goalie). Teams are now allowed to carry 3 goalies on the roster.

8-05-26 Hour 1 - Broncos Camp Day 4 reaction/Roadblocks stopping new stadium/NFL record projections

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 16:13:52 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday at camp, Nik Bonitto went down with an apparent leg injury. He was down for a few minutes, then walked off the field. Man, we're crossing our fingers for that guy. What else did the boys see at Day 4 of Broncos Camp?

15:46 - Denver Broncos President Damani Leech has spoken recently about the roadblocks facing the new stadium. Vic and Mose genuinely don't understand why anyone would try to block this new stadium from being built. It's a HUGE win for the community any way you slice it.

34:20 - USA Today projected the records for every NFL team. How do they think the Broncos will do? How about the AFC West as a whole?

Adam Schefter digs into the complicated psyche of Sean Payton

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 17:06:24 +0000

Our old friend Adam Schefter is back! Between training camps and trades and free agents signings (oh my!), what's new in Schefty's World right now? Also, why would Sean Payton agree to the Seth Wickersham article? Why would he let a reporter follow him around and document his every move for 2 weeks during a crucial playoff run?

8-04-26 Hour 3 - Riley Moss vs Jahdae Barron/Adam Schefter/Updated Broncos stadium plans

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:58:25 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Riley Moss had a GREAT interception in practice. He snatched that ball away from Courtland Sutton. Raj thinks that Moss won't be on this team next year for salary cap reasons. And maybe that's where Jadhae Barron comes in.

15:22 - Our old friend Adam Schefter is back! Between training camps and trades and free agents signings (oh my!), what's new in Schefty's World right now?

30:58 - The Broncos released an update on their plans to build a new stadium and re-develop the Burnham Yard area. It looks gorgeous! But we have one concern: it looks like there's only one light rail stop and no parking?

8-04-26 Hour 2 - NFL QB tiers/Makar or MacKinnon?, Oh, By the Way/Drew Goodman

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:46:04 +0000

0:00 - Mike Sando released his annual ranking of NFL QB tiers. Which tier is Bo Nix in? Was he fairly ranked?

14:14 - The Avs might face a Sophie's Choice in the near future. Sorry, Mose. I forgot we're not allowed to use that name anymore. If you could only keep MacKinnon or Makar for salary cap reasons, which one would you keep? Which player would Raj choose?

After that, a little earlier than usual today...Oh, by the way...Terrell Owens made $80 million during his NFL career and recently said "it goes fast." Man, how quickly can you blow through that kind of money?
Oh, by the way...USC and Notre Dame are renewing their rivalry starting in 2030. Having that rivalry back is good for college football fans.
Oh, by the way...birds feel worms in the ground through their feet.

31:11 - How did the Rockies do at the trade deadline? Do we like the moves they made? Did they do enough? Let's ask the TV Voice of the Rockies himself, Drew Goodman.

8-04-26 Hour 1 - Riley Moss Mossed Sutton/Rockies active at the trade deadline/Take a chance on Taysom?

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 16:31:04 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Riley Moss had a GREAT interception in practice. He snatched that ball away from Courtland Sutton. Good! The lethal Broncos defense was missing one piece last year: turnovers. They NEED to force more turnovers. Is that a mentality thing, or is it something you can coach?

15:23 - The Rockies...let me check my notes here...actually made moves at the MLB trade deadline? That can't be right. I must be misreading that. Do we like the moves they make? What about the moves they DIDN'T make? Did they do enough at the deadline?

33:14 - Adam Trautman was teammates with Taysom Hill in New Orleans. Yesterday, he spoke highly of Taysom during his media availability. Should Sean Payton phone a friend in New Orleans and bring in the god dang joker himsef?

8-03-26 Hour 3 - Training Camp takeaways (so far)/Payton on Dobbins' promise/Hunter Goodman traded?

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 16:45:05 +0000

0:00 - After a few days of training camp, what have the boys noticed?

14:24 - On Friday, JK Dobbins pinky promised the media that he'll stay healthy for 17 games! What does Sean Payton think about the promise his RB made?

29:55 - The boys share their final thoughts from Day 3 of Broncos camp.
Also, the MLB trade deadline is rapidly approaching. Will the Rockies deal Hunter Goodman?

8-03-26 Hour 2 - Bo ready to go, a fake news break/Private Seat Licenses: Yay or Nay/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 16:26:27 +0000

0:00 - Predisposed? Not predisposed? Doesn't matter. Bo is ready to go! He says the ankle feels great and he won't skip a step. Also, Vic has some breaking NBA news about the 76ers signing-oh wait...we got got.

11:48 - The Broncos are considering implementing Private Seat Licenses at the new stadium. Earlier in the show, we asked for season ticket holders to chime in. Unsurprisingly, most fans are stronly opposed to PSLs.

29:39 - Oh, by the way...an elephant seal is wreaking havoc in Tasmania. Twice a year, he comes a shore and terrorizes a small town.
Oh, by the way...Ricky Pearsall had a season-ending surgery to repair nagging issues with his PCL. The Niners just can't catch a break from that damn electrical substation. Injuries can flare up at any second.
Oh, by the way...Oreo China and KFC teamed up and released fried chicken-flavored Oreos over the weekend. Unfortunately, they're only available in China as of now.

8-03-26 Hour 1 - Mims & Waddle connection/Dobbins' pinky promise/New stadium Private Seat Licenses?

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - After a few short days of training camp, what's been the main focus? Pretty simple. Bo Nix to Jaylen Waddle. The shiny new Nix-Waddle connection has been squarely in the spotlight, and the duo is already turning heads. And by the way, Bo's looking good. That ankle is ready to roll! Wait, poor word choice...ready to go!

15:08 - On Friday, JK Dobbins pinky promised us that he'll be healthy for 17 games. Pinky promise! That's serious business, JK. We like where his head's at. That's definitely the attitude to have. But don't make promises you can't keep.

33:26 - Will the new Broncos stadium include Private Seat Licenses? If they go that route, will everyday fans get priced out of games? Is that a viable business strategy?

7-31-26 Hour 3 - What's Bo Nix worth?/Bucks are interested in Watson/DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 17:42:38 +0000

0:00 - What is Bo Nix worth relative to (heh) a contract extension? Right now, top QBs are signing for contracts worth $50+ million. Is he worth that? How can he play up to that value?

14:17 - Word on the street is the Milwaukee Bucks are interested in a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson that would also net them Zeke Nnaji.

34:40 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

7-31-26 Hour 2 - Broncos Players in the Top 100/Kawhi owns a football team?/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 16:45:49 +0000

0:00 - Every year, the NFL releases a list of the Top 100 players as voted by the players. How many Broncos are on the list? What do their NFL peers think of them?

16:43 - Kawhi Leonard is a minority owner of a...football team? Football club? Soccer team? Let's pick the correct verbiage here. Either way, this story WILL NOT GO AWAY. Adam Silver, how many more Pablo TorreBombs do you NEED?

32:03 - Oh, by the way...the State of New York is suing Kalshi for $36 billion, claiming the company is running an illegal gambling operation. Yikes.
Oh, by the way...the Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven't signed Baker Mayfield to a contract extension yet. Yesterday, Baker spoke about the situation and didn't mince words at all.
Oh, by the way...the NHL is suing Smoky Hill High School because their logo looks exactly like a version of the Buffalo Sabres logo. Hey NHL...come on, man. Everyone does this. High schools copy logo from professional sports franchises all the time.

7-31-26 Hour 1 - We're LIVE at Broncos Training Camp/Sean Payton will induct Drew Brees/Pro-second apron?

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 16:31:44 +0000

0:00 - It's officially that time of year again! We're LIVE at Broncos Camp BABY! Can you smell the fresh cut grass?

16:17 - Drew Brees will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in about a week, and he asked Sean Payton to officially present him at the ceremony. Sean will speak on Drew's behalf as he gets immortalized in Canton. That's cool and all, but more importantly...we learned that Sean Payton is an Andriod phone guy?

35:34 - Spencer Jones went on The Dawg Podcast (co-hosted by KCP) and explained why the second apron is actually a good thing for the NBA. Do we agree with his assessment?

7-30-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/No training camp battles?/Rockies shopping Hunter Goodman

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 17:28:21 +0000

0:00 - Training camp officially kicks off tomorrow! What has our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold seen in these early pre-camp "acclimation" days? What will he be looking for tomorrow?

18:00 - Will we have a Broncos camp without battles this year? A battles-less camp? That's crazy! We always get hyper-focused on some sort of positional battle.

33:24 - The Rockies are shopping Hunter Goodman at the trade deadline, and according to Ken Rosenthal, they're asking for a HUGE haul in return for him.

7-30-26 Hour 2 - AFC West QBs/Finding excitement & motivation/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 17:09:29 +0000

0:00 - Look at the QBs in the AFC West: Bo Nix, Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Fernando Mendoza. Mahomes is coming off a serious injury, and Mendoza is a rookie who we haven't seen yet. All that being said, where does Bo Nix stack up among the AFC West QBs?

17:25 - Do you bet on sporst to make the games more exciting? Since you're literally invested in the outcome? Vic doesn't understand people who need that extra push.
What about exercising? Fitness? Can you motivate yourself, or do you need extra help?

34:58 - Oh, by the way...it's looking like Kyler Murray will be the starter in Minnesota over JJ McCarthy. Yikes. Does Nine have even a puncher's chance of winning the starting job?
Oh, by the way...would you watch a PGA golf broadcast on TV with no commentators at all?
Oh, by the way...a hiker in Montana accidentally stabbed himself with his hiking pole, then trekked 10 miles to safety with the pole sticking out of him.

7-30-26 Hour 1 - Sean Payton on Jonathon Cooper/Another Kawhi Leonard wrinkle/Taysom Hill to the Broncos?

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 16:23:55 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton addressed the media at the shiny new Broncos facility yesterday. He was asked about Jonathon Cooper and his presence at camp in the midst of his off the field issues.

19:36 - Next year, the Broncos NEED to fire up their offense quicker. The best way to avoid crazy comebacks and one-score games is to score more and score early! Crazy, right??
After that, Pablo Torre dropped ANOTHER Kawhi Leonard Clippers bomb. The hits just keep coming. And yet, Kawhi and the Clippers haven't been punished one iota by the NBA. Why is that? Why is Adam Silver so hesitant to bring down the hammer?

33:01 - Taysom Hill isn't retiring, but he's made it clear that he wants out of New Orleans. Would you take him here in Denver? We know how much Sean Payton loooooooves signing his old Saints buddies.

7-29-26 Hour 3 - Celebrini's market-resetting contract/Turning CFB into a minor league/Mascot mishaps

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:38:30 +0000

0:00 - Macklin Celebrini just signed a contract extension with the Sharks to the tune of 5 years, $94 million. That's just shy of $19 millioin per year. That really throws a wrench in the Avs' plans. Cale Makar is do for a contract extension at the end of next season. If Celebrini is worth $19 per, then what the heck is Makar worth?

19:26 - New Michigan Head Football Coach Kyle Whittingham said all of college football's problems can be solved by essentially turning the whole operation into a minor league for the NFL. Run it exactly like you would any other minor league. Vic completely agrees, but Brett thinks CFB can be fixed with a simpler solution.

34:16 - The Sacramento River Cats mascot absolutely TRUCKED Alek Thomas as he was running onto the field. Is there anything better than mascot mishaps?

7-29-26 Hour 2 - Jerry Jones open to offers/Notre Dame adding jersey patches/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:23:32 +0000

0:00 - Jerry Jones said he's open to trading assets/draft picks for a big acquisition. What is Jerry looking to add? Not to be too blunt, but is Jerry realizing he's running out of time? Can he get them Cowboys back to the Promised Land before he goes?

15:55 - Brett says Aaron Gordon is going down a similar path to Blake Griffin in one particular aspect: health.
After that, Notre Dame is entering the patch game! They'll display SoFi patches on the front of their jerseys, netting them $18-20 million per year. That's more money per year than the Big 12 is getting from Monster for the naming rights to the conference. College football has always been about the Haves and the Have Nots. It's more evident today than it's ever been.

35:35 - Oh, by the way...Death. Taxes. Moser hopping on the Chargers offseason hype train.
Oh, by the way...Plaxico Burress recently said that playing for the Jets and going to prison were basically the same. Sheesh!
Oh, by the way...we've reached the "Players Not Showing Up to Camp & Holding Out for Bigger Contracts with More Guaranteed Money" part of the NFL calendar.

7-29-26 Hour 1 - Brand new Broncos facility/More Peyton Watson rumors/Rox walked-off by Padres

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The brand-new Broncos training facility/headquaters is officially open and it's GORGEOUS. The media and players were all star-struck at camp yesterday. It quite literally pays to know the Wal-Mart folks. You've got the shiny new toys now. It's time to go to work. It's officially Super Bowl or Bust time.

18:36 - What do the Nuggets want in return for Peyton Watson? According to Shams, Denver's had to shift their asking price a bit.

33:45 - Last night's Rockies game followed a very predictable trajectory. Starting pitching was servicable, and offense was good enough to build a lead. Then the bullpen couldn't throw a friggin strike. At least the Rockies are showing signs of progress this year. They're actually staying competitive in games before they blow it, as opposed to last year when they never had a lead to blow.

Brian Windhorst offers the national perspective on the Nuggets offseason

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 17:52:22 +0000

Brett worked his Nebraska connections and landed us an interview with fellow Omaha Man Brian Windhorst. What does Windy think about the Nuggets offseason? Does Peyton Watson have any value on the open market? Should Jokic trust the Nuggets to build another championship roster before he retires? What's the ESPN/national perspective on the Nuggets?

7-28-26 Hour 3 - College football around the corner/Brian Windhorst/Reacting to Windhorst interview

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:34:37 +0000

0:00 - College football is about 1 month away. With that in mind...Brett and Moser have a way-too-early preview edition of LAY IT DOWN!

17:29 - Brett worked his Nebraska connections and landed us an interview with fellow Omaha Man Brian Windhorst. What does Windy think about the Nuggets offseason? Does Peyton Watson have any value on the open market? Should Jokic trust the Nuggets to build another championship roster before he retires? What's the ESPN/national perspective on the Nuggets?

42:39 - What do the fellas think of everything Windy had to say?

7-28-26 Hour 2 - Avs & Nugs in similar situations/Miami's LeBron livestream mishap/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:18:30 +0000

O0:00 - Moser said the Avalanche and Nuggets are in a similar situation right now as the offseason drags on.

15:24 - Let's run through some NFL headlines real quick: should the Broncos go after Vita Vea? Could Aaron Donald ACTUALLY make an NFL return?
After that...someone on the Miami Heat social media team was preparing for the possibility that LeBron could sign with the team and hold an introductory press conference. He was headed on vacatian and pre-emptively scheduled a YouTube live video just in case. It got Brett thinking...what life event/vacation is SO IMPORTANT that you couldn't take a few seconds to post about LeBron James returning to the Heat?

31:15 - Oh, by the way...cats are baseball.
Oh, by the way...the Nuggets added NBA veteran head coach Dave Joerger to David Adelman's staff. He'll serve as Adelman's lead assistant this season.
Oh, by the way...which NFL has the best odds to go from worst in their division to first?

7-28-26 Hour 1 - What's Peyton Watson worth?/Storylines heading into Broncos camp/Ohio State jersey patch

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 16:07:07 +0000

0:00 - What's Peyton Watson worth on the open market? Realistically, what salary could he command? What's his value to the Nuggets?

17:58 - We'll be live at Broncos camp in 3 DAYS! Aside from Bo Nix's ankle, what are the storylines that we'll be following?

35:05 - Ohio State is adding a JPMorganChase patch to all of its jerseys, which will net the university roughly $17 million per year in NIL money. Not too shabby. That'll buy you a few extra transfers. Get ready for patches to become the norm in CFB.

7-27-26 Hour 3 - Jones extended, Watson not (yet)/What will we learn from Broncos camp?/Content Creator Major

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:54:19 +0000

0:00 - OKC tried to snatch Spencer Jones, and the Nuggets said NOT TODAY. They're bringing him back on a 2-year, $12 million deal. But we haven't heard anything about Peyton Watson yet. If he's such an important and valuable player, why aren't more teams trying to procure his services? We haven't heard any rumblings at all yet.

14:31 - We're live at Broncos camp starting on Friday! What will we learn at camp this year?

34:52 - ASU is now offering a brand new major: Content Creation. You can essentially go to college to become an influener now.

7-27-26 Hour 2 - Preserving your body for the long haul/Why no offers for Watson?/Oh, by the Way...

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:41:49 +0000

0:00 - Jackson Koivun stormed onto the PGA scene over the weekend and immediately secured his first tour win. He'd better be careful, though. He has a pretty crazy swing technique. His back will be toast by the time he's 30. How do athletes like golfers and pitchers alter their technqiue to survive the long haul?

12:59 - The Nuggets are officially the only NBA team in the second apron right now. They very clearly need to shed salary. If that's the case...why haven't we heard about any offers for Peyton Watson? If his stock is high right now and the Nuggets are in a salary cap bind, why hasn't another team tried to snatch him up?

31:38 - Oh, by the way...PGA golfer Lucas Glover took off his shoes on the 10th green at the 3M Open over the weekend. Was he protesting AimPoint? Are you pro or anti AimPoint?
Oh, by the way...Draymond Green is reportedly signing an extension with Golden State worth $28 million per year. Hey Golden State...what's the plan here?
Oh, by the way...Jeff Legwold told us that Caleb Lohner will be the guy to watch in camp. Honestly, looking at his build...could the Nuggets sign him too? They could use his physicality.

7-27-26 Hour 1 - Nuggets re-sign Spencer Jones/What's next for the Nuggets/Broncos ramping up to camp

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:29:59 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets matched OKC's offer sheet and re-signed Spencer Jones to a 2-year, $12 million contract. They are now the only NBA team in the second apron. It's good to have Mr. LinkedIn back, but what's Denver's next move? They can't live in the apron, can they?

15:25 - Jacob "The Miz" Misiorowski MOWED DOWN the Rox yesterday in Milwaukee. That guy is too damn good. He's unfair.
Vic thinks he knows that the Nuggets will do next. And it may involve letting someone walk who we wanted to keep around.

35:25 - It's almost here. The Broncos are finally ramping up to training camp. We'll be broadcasting live from camp starting on Friday. Get ready, folks. Football is right around the corner.

7-08-26 Hour 3 - The Nuggets were Pawns in the LeBron Sweepstakes/Denver Mt. Rushmore

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 16:47:41 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets might have just been pawns in the LeBron Sweepstakes. Plus, strangest places Star Players have finished their careers.

18:31 - Denver Sports Mt. Rushmore.

34:21 - What's next for the Nuggets if they do get a LeBron James?

7-08-26 Hour 2 - Seth Wickersham of ESPN joins the show/Plus, has the Prime Era passed in CU?

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 16:44:19 +0000

0:00 - Has the hype around Deion Sanders and CU lost its wind? The guys give their expecations for the football team this season.

12:24 - Seth Wickersham of ESPN joins the show to go into more detail on his article on Sean Payton and the Broncos playoff last season.

35:38 - Oh By The Way! Plus, Paul Skenes does not seem like a great teammate.

7-08-26 Hour 1 - Rockies WIN/Peyton Watson is still looking for a home/What sport would Erling Haaland play in the US?

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 16:39:40 +0000

20:24 - The guys break down what they liked and did not like about Sean Paytons coaching process.

36:38 - Peyton Watson is still looking for a home in the NBA. Does it help the Nuggets with the process taking so long?

7-07-26 Hour 3 - A deep dive on Sean Payton's psyche/Vic can't get enough!/ESPN's Top 10 players at each position

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:36:57 +0000

0:00 - Seth Wickersham followed Sean Payton around during the playoffs and recorded everything he witnessed. We already knew Payton was a certified psychopath, but Wickersham's article makes one thing clear: we didn't know the half of it.

12:29 - Sorry, folks. Vic is obsessed with Wickersham's profile of Sean Payton! The deeper we dig into this article, it becomes harder and harder to believe. And yet, it still all feels believable for Sean Payton, right? You could tell us any story about him and we'd believe you.

32:33 - ANOTHER OFFSEASON LIST/RANKING, BABY! ESPN ranked their Top 10 NFL players at each position. Do the Broncos have any players in the Top 10, aside from PSII?

7-07-26 Hour 2 - Same ol' USA Men's Soccer/DeRozan to Nugs, Hellebucuk to Avs?/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:20:59 +0000

0:00 - This year felt different for the USA Men. Turns out, it was the same. Let's ask the age-old question that we've been asking for decades. Why isn't soccer bigger in the US? It's the most popular sport in the World by a country mile, and yet it's the 5th-most popular sport in the US at best.

15:18 - The Kings waived DeMar DeRozan. Should the Nuggets take a chance on him? Maybe a 1-year rental?
Also, Elliotte Friedman said that the Avalanche might be interested in procuring the services of Connor Hellebuyck. Why? They already have 2 great goalies. Plus, Hellebuyck always folds in the playoffs. At least it seems that way. Look at what the Avs did to him in 2024.

32:55 - Oh, by the way...Trey McBride went on Bussin' with the Boys and had some less-than-favorable things to say about his alma mater CSU. The clip may have been taken out of context, but it's a bit of a bummer.
Oh, by the way...if we did a redraft of the 2024 NFL Draft, would Bo Nix still be the 6th QB taken? Or would he move up the ranks?
Oh, by the way...Pringles is releasing a limited run of hot dog buns that are flavored like Pringles. And, they'll even be sold in Pringles cans. Moser is the Glizzy expert of the show. Is that something he'll purchase?

7-07-26 Hour 1 - USA Bounced by Belgium/Seth Wickersham's profile of Payton/Jokic is a Nugget for life

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:08:26 +0000

0:00 - Well...that was fun until it wasn't. Sheesh. What an embarrassing way to end USA's World Cup run. Vic has decided that he can't root for any country from Europe the rest of the way. Europe is dead to us from here on out. Spain, Norway, definitely Belgium, you name it.

20:02 - Seth Wickersham just published a DEEP DEEP dive on Sean Payton. He followed Payton around during the playoffs, and it turns out, Sean Payton is even more psycho than we thought.

33:50 - Jokic told the media in Serbia yesterday that he's a Nugget for life! He ain't going anywhere! But...would he consider taking a paycut like Jalen Brunson so the Nuggets have more room to build a championship roster? Is that something he'd do? Is that something he SHOULD do?

7-06-26 Hour 3 - Elect Brett Kane for US President/Why LeBron should come to Denver/Monday Night Football

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 17:04:15 +0000

0:00 - Supposedly, President Trump got involved in the process of appealing Balogun's red card. Some sources claim he assembled a task force to speak with FIFA. Brett said it's crazy that a US President actually got involved in professional sports meddling. Republican, Democrat, doesn't matter. More Presidents should us their power to influence sport outcomes. If Brett was president, how could he abuse his power to help Denver teams?

15:30 - Rich Paul grabbed a white board, sat down with Max Kellerman, and drew a whole web of possible destinations for LeBron, complete with Pros and Cons. Let's make our list. What are the Pros of coming to Denver? What are the Cons of the other places LeBron is eyeing?

31:00 - USA is playing Belgium in World Cup action tonight. Hey, wait a second...what day of the week is it?...what do they call "soccer" everywhere else in the world?...that means it's time...FOR MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, BABY! WE ARE SO BACK! Those waffle eaters don't stand a chance.

7-06-26 Hour 2 - Avs FA acquisitions, Kawhi flees the scene/DMac live from Seattle stadium/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 16:56:02 +0000

0:00 - Who are the newest Avs? What should we know about Jaden Schwartz?
It's also crazy that Kawhi Leonard dipped from the US in the midst of a fraud investigation and signed with the Raptors. So is this Aspiration trees/Clippers thing just dead in the water now? The Aspiration guy is serving hard time, but the Clippers are innocent?

17:00 - DMac took an impromptu trip to Seattle to consume all the World Cup action! He joined us live this morning out in front of Lume-sorry, I mean, Seattle Stadium in Seattle (thanks, FIFA) to update us on all the insanity he's witnessed so far.

31:15 - Oh, by the way... World Cup soccer is its own thing. It's its own sport. It even feels like a different sport compared to regular ol' soccer!
Oh, by the way...Joey Chestnut won the Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 18th time! Unreal. Whether or not you're a fan of the contest, you have to appreciate how dominant he is in his field of competition.
Oh, by the way...Vic finally sympathizes with dogs for one specific reason.

7-06-26 Hour 1 - The right side of FIFA corruption/LeBron will drag this out/Moser's Belgian friend

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 16:40:05 +0000

0:00 - What a roller coaster! FIFA overturned Balogun's red card and he's eligible to play for Team USA against Belgium tonight. This reeks of FIFA corruption. But...it's helping us out! It benefits us! This is awesome!

15:12 - LeBron hasn't made an official decision yet. We don't know where he'll play next season. And you shouldn't be surprised. This is the same man who orchestrated The Decision. He's gonna drag this out as long as he can. That being said, he's narrowed down his options. Is Denver still in the running?

32:38 - Marc Moser, International Man of Mystery, has a Belgian friend! Who lives in Belgium! Let's get him on the horn and get a Belgian's perspective on tonight's clash with Team USA. How salty is the country of waffles and chocolates about Balogun's red card getting reversed?

7-01-26 Hour 3 - Nuggets are dark horse in LeBron race/NHL free agency, more NBA moves/DRUNK TAKES

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:45:33 +0000

0:00 - According to Brian Windhorst, the Nuggets are an "outlier" team to land LeBron. Windy's pretty dialed in to LeBron. Why would he go on ESPN and make something like that up? Could this move become a reality?

19:08 - NHL free agency is underway, and Bowen Byram officially signed with the Blackhawks on a contract that pays him $12.4 million per year. That's a market-topping, potentially market-resetting deal. Is he worth more than guys like Cale Makar and Quinn Hughes?
Also, the NBA moves keep comin! Moser is on location for an episode of Golf on Altitude and Katy Winge is at the course too. She put on the headset and offered her expert opinion on the Nuggets' chances to land LeBron.

36:15 - We're off Thursday and Friday celebrating the 250th anniversary of America. Happy Birthday, Lady Liberty. You don't look a day over 248. So that means we have to get to an early edition of our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

7-01-26 Hour 2 - NBA Offseason Frenzy!!/Vic's son's tussle with lightning/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:33:23 +0000

0:00 - Every second, more news breaks in the NBA. A trade here, a free agent signing there...and yet, nothing from the Nuggets. Except for Tim Hardaway Jr. taking his talents to South Beach. He signed with the Heat. Why aren't the Nuggets in the mix more?

19:11 - Vic's beautiful baby boy was on the golf course yesterday and almost got struck by lightning! Be safe out there, people. If there's a storm, go inside. Don't finish the front 9. It's not worth getting fried to a crisp.

31:16 - Oh, by the way...Spencer Jones is back to posting on LinkedIn! What business-like insight did he offer this time?
Oh, by the way...isn't it weird hearing French language broadcasts of sports? How can such a beautiful language be used to describe the rough and tumble action of something like hockey? And why do half of European languages sound gorgeous and the other half are terrifying?
Oh, by the way...a Mexican soccer fan was sitting right behind home plate at the Dodgers @ A's game last night watching the World Cup game on his phone. He lost his mind when Mexico scored, and you could hear it CRYSTAL CLEAR on TV.

7-01-26 Hour 1 - LeBron to the Nuggets?/World Cup update with Rapids Coach Matt Wells/Bo Byram got PAID

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:24:12 +0000

0:00 - Now that LeBron is leaving LA...would you take him here in Denver? Remember, before he signed with the Lakers, the Nuggets were supposedly a candidate to land him.

15:17 - Colorado Rapids Head Coach Matt Wells joined us this morning to share his expert opinion on the World Cup. How will USA fare against Bosnia tonight? Has he enjoyed the World Cup overall? How has the quality of play been so far? Let's pick the brain of a soccer savant.

36:41 - NHL Free Agency officially opens today. Will the Avs be in the running? By the way, former Av Bowen Byram just signed a deal with the Blackhawks for $12.4 million per year! Sheesh! Good for Bo but we didn't realize he's worth that big of a pay day!

6-30-26 Hour 3 - RIP Moser's Bees...again.../Updating The List, Broncos offseason grade/NHL & NBA rumblings

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 17:48:08 +0000

0:00 - Pour one our for Marc Moser's bees. He lost another hive. But this time, it was a bear attack. Not a winter freeze/Moser's inadequacies.

13:26 - Mason Marchment is on the move! He's no longer a Dallas Star. He's also (deservedly so) on our HATE LIST. It's been a while since we've opened that thing. Let's take a look and see if everyone still deserves to be there.
Also, what grade would you give the Broncos offseason so far?

31:33 - Rumblings around the NHL...would you take Andre Burakovsy back in an Avalanche sweater?
NBA rumblings...will Peyton Watson still be a Nugget by the end of today? Will someone make him an offer?

6-30-26 Hour 2 - Serena back at Wimbledon, Ja Morant to Blazers/LeBron leaving LA?/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 16:44:20 +0000

0:00 - Serena Williams is an ageless wonder. She's making her return to Wimbledon at 44 years young.
After that, the Portland Trailblazers traded for Ja Morant. What happened to Ja, man? A few short years ago, he was ELECTRIC. He was the heir apparent. He was the future. Can Portland restore him to his former glory?

(The bump music in question was "Be Her" by Ella Langley. Vic is a certified Ella Fella.)

14:08 - According to Brian Windhorst, LeBron James will inform the Lakers TODAY that he's leaving the team. If that happens, the Lakers would have a ton of extra cap space to sign, you guessed it, Peyton Watson.

30:12 - Oh, by the way...Keegan-Michael Key recreated the famous Key & Peele Substitute Teacher sketch using the names of current World Cup players.
Oh, by the way...Dianna Russini got out of a speeding ticket in a very unique way. How have you talked yourself out of a ticket?
Oh, by the way...a pitcher for UCLA has one of the strangest superstitions we've ever seen.

6-30-26 Hour 1 - World Cup PKs: Yay or Nay?/Percentage chance Jokic will stay/Hunter Goodman is RAKING

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 16:32:54 +0000

0:00 - Both of yesterday's World Cup games came down to Penalty Kicks. The Athletic wrote a piece about PKs and if we could maybe find a better way to end games. Are PKs the best way to decide things? And a bunch of angry soccer purists flooded the replies with some harsh words about Americans. Listen up you freaks. Say what you will about soccer/football. But keep your paws off America, baby.

16:15 - Yesterday on Kreckman and Lindahl, The Radio Machine Mark Springer said he thinks there's a 75% chance Jokic stays a Nugget. That's CRAZY. That's WAY too high! Does anyone actually think Jokic would leave?

34:38 - Hunter Goodman can't stop rippin dingers! He's hit 5 of em in 4 games! Don't you love a good catcher who can rake?

6-29-26 Hour 3 - Avs extend Brett Kulak/Painful Broncos memories, 2024 QB draft class/Jokic WILL re-sign

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:47:07 +0000

0:00 - The Avs signed Brett Kulak to a 5-year extension. That's a good move by the Avs brass. On the flipside, the Seattle Kraken offered Jason Robertson an 8-year contract woth $15 million per year and he turned it down. Man. That's a lot of bread to pass up on. Are the Kraken THAT bad?

14:02 - After our clock troubles in the previous segment, it reminded the fellas of some rough Broncos days. Remember the first Nathaniel Hackett/Russell Wilson game when no one understood how to manage the clock? Remember when Broncos fans were yelling about counting down the play clock? Good times.
After that, Caleb Williams was denied a trademark for the nickname "Iceman." Evidently that's his nickname? That sent the boys down a rabbit hole. If we re-did the 2024 NFL Draft, would Caleb Williams still go #1 overall?

31:09 - Everybody calm down. Jokic WILL sign his contract extension. That being said, why hasn't he signed it yet? Why is he waiting?

6-29-26 Hour 2 - Too much technology in sports?/Jokic hasn't signed an extension yet/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:34:21 +0000

0:00 - This past weekend in World Cup action, Colombia had a goal taken off the board because of offside. But the player was offsides by like a toenail! It was so insanely close. One of those calls that was only possible because of insane video review technology. Have reviews across all sports gotten too insane? Sometimes, do we lose sight of the "spirit of the game" a bit?

15:47 - Jokic is eligible to sign a supermax contract extension, and he hasn't signed it yet. Over the weekend, all the NBA pundits & talking heads said he's doing it as a leverage play. He's fanning the flames on Nuggets ownership/front office. Build me a winning team now, or I'm taking my horses back to Serbia. Is that the read here? Is Jokic leaving the door open for an exit out of Denver?

33:01 - Oh, by the way...Hunter Goodman is BALLIN' for the Rockies right now. He couldn't stop rippin' dingers over the weekend.
Oh, by the way...a 5-year-old Mets fan wants to flip his fandom to the Yankees because he's tired of losing. Is that allowed? Or does he have to keep suffering?
Oh, by the way...the CFL announced that THEY don't want Brendan Sorsby! That caught us offguard. The Montreal Alouettes don't wanna take a chance on this kid?

6-29-26 Hour 1 - Nuggets and Celtics trade?/Busy weekend for the Avs/What's Tim Connelly's game plan?

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:23:06 +0000

0:00 - Bill Simmons said there's some "smoke" around the Nuggets right now. Some of it is legit, and some of it isn't. He thinks there could be a mutually beneficial trade between the Nuggets and Celtics. It might be all conjecture and heresay, but Simmons also has his finger on the pulse of the Celtics.

14:20 - What a busy few days for the Avs! They traded Nichushkin then then immediately re-signed Brent Burns and Brett Kulak. One thing's for sure: Sakic ain't done yet. How do we think Super Joe's handled the offseason so far?

34:05 - Brett & Moser were gone last week when the news broke about the Timberwolves trading for LaMelo Ball. What's Tim Connelly's game plan here? Because again, at first glance this seems like an insane plan. The team is becoming Oops! All Guards!

6-26-26 Hour 3 - Kreckman & Polumbus join the Scramble/Nate fixes the Nuggets!/Broncos in the Top 100, DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:38:37 +0000

0:00 - We scramble on! Scotty out, Nate Kreckman and Tyler Polumbus is.
Better sleep with one eye open. The fellas have been getting some strange mail lately... That sent them all down an IRS rabbit hole. Pay your taxes, everyone!

14:45 - You heard what Berto said! Nate Kreckman knows everything about the Nuggets and then some. He knows EXACTLY how to fix them. Krecker, the floor is yours.

32:54 - CBS Sports published a list of the NFL's Top 100 players heading into next season. 6 Broncos made the cut. Bo Nix is #87. Is that accurate? How many QBs are in front of him? Which Broncos players are ahead of him?
After that, A scramble isn't gonna stop us from getting to our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

6-26-26 Hour 2 - Scotty joins the Scramble, Top 100 NFL Players/Proposed MLB CBA changes/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:29:21 +0000

0:00 - Now Hastings wants a piece! Raj out, Scotty in. The live Altitude Summer Scramble rolls on.
Berto found a list of the Top 100 NFL players as selected by CBS. Who made the cut? How many Broncos players are on the list?

14:15 - The MLB is proposing a bunch of changes to the CBA including a hard salary cap and contract limits. Yeah...a lockout is 110% happening. There will be no baseball played in 2027.

31:37 - Oh, by the way...Scotty has some words of wisdom about who, or what, you can't trust.
Oh, by the way...a giraffe got loose from a Texas zoo. How do you lose a giraffe? They're pretty easy to spot.
Oh, by the way...Mauricio Pochettino called out the media yesterday during his postgame presser after USA lost to Türkiye. We get what he was going for, but it felt unnecessary.

6-26-26 Hour 1 - Scrambling it up with Raj/NBA trades, Nugs becoming the Bucks?/USA falls to Türkiye

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 16:19:45 +0000

0:00 - It's a live Summer Scramble! Raj is in studio for the next hour with Berto and Vic. Since we have a hockey expert in our midst, what does Raj think about the Avs trading Val Nichushkin to the Blue Jackets for 3 draft picks?

14:07 - Now that we've had a day to process the LaMelo Ball/Naz Reid trade, do we feel any differently about it? What are other trade rumors around the NBA?
Also, how close are the Nuggets to becoming the Bucks? A team with an MVP superstar who only found a way to win 1 championship? Are Joker's days in Denver numbered?

31:49 - Yesterday, USA fell to Türkiye in the last game of the Group Stage. And...we're finding it hard to care. That was basically a scrimmage. A friendly. Türkiye was playing for pride and nothing more.

6-25-26 Hour 3 - Nuggets drafted 2 new players/Avs trade Drury to Predators/Mental toughness in sports

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 16:54:56 +0000

0:00 - We thought the Nuggets might package their 2nd round picks in a trade. But instead...they used them! Do we like the players they drafted? Did they address their needs? Will those dudes actually get playing time?

12:53 - The Colorado - Nashville pipeline has already been established, thanks for Chris MacFarland. Jack Drury got shipped off to the Music City. Do we like the 2 young studs the Avs got in return? According to Berto, one of them is a madman who brings the physicality and toughness the Avs need.

28:41 - Mental toughness in sports is such a fickle thing. Some people have it. Some don't. Others depserately NEED it (like the Nuggets in the Timberwolves series).

6-25-26 Hour 2 - TWolves add LaMelo Ball/WR, TE, RB group rankings/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 16:45:03 +0000

0:00 - News broke earlier today that the Charlotte Hornets traded LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Naz Reid and a metric tonne of picks. They're running out of size. Are they crafting a small ball lineup? Their size is what allowed them to bully the Nuggets for 6 consecutive games in the playoffs. Why would they want to get smaller?

9:17 - ESPN ranked the WR, TE, and RB groups of all 32 NFL teams. Where to the Broncos stack up? How does their ranking compare to last year?

33:14 - Oh, by the way...Berto is definitely going to preorder GTA VI. Is Vic?
Oh, by the way...the New York Knicks acquired the drafts rights to a center that the Lakers selected...in 2009. Pop quiz: who did the Nuggets get in the 2009 NBA Draft?
Oh, by the way...the Guiness Book of World Record recently found the loudest man in the world. He yelled one word at 122 decibels.

6-25-26 Hour 1 - Nuggets use both 2nd round picks/LaMelo Ball to Timberwolves/Jack Drury traded to Preds

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 16:32:19 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets had two 2nd round picks yesterday and they used them both! How do we feel about them actually selecting players instead of packaging those picks for draft day dealing?

17:09 - We got relevant breaking news during our show for once! The Charlotte Hornets traded LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Naz Reid and a metric tonne of picks. Minny's backcourt is now LaBelo and Anthony Edwards. Sheesh. What's Minnesota doing? Will Denver be able to beat them in the playoffs now?

32:39 - Chris MacFarland only has one number in his phone, and it's Joe Sakic's. Yesterday, the Avs sent Jack Drury to the Predators. Do we like the haul they got in return? Will we miss Drury?

6-24-26 Hour 3 - PGA back in Denver, Sorsby sidelined/Why not draft at 26?/Sanford calls his shot again

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 17:03:44 +0000

0:00 - Vic has it on good authority that the PGA Tour will return to Denver as soon as 2028. GOOD. The BMW Championship at Castle Pines was epic. Denver absolutely deserves another tour event sooner rather than later.
After that, the NFL cancelled the supplemental draft, meaning Brendan Sorsby can't play in the NFL until the 2027 NFL Draft...if he gets drafted. Yesterday, Tyler Polumbus explained why the Sorsby Situation sets a weird precedent. This is a strange situation all around.

17:46 - Why didn't the Nuggets use their #26 pick in the NBA Draft yesterday? It has to factor into a larger plan. But...what's that plan?

31:55 - Coach Sanford made a Rockies prediction back in March and NAILED IT. Down to the DAY. So he's feeling himself now, and he made a second prediction. If he nails that one too? Burn him at the stake. He's a witch.

6-24-26 Hour 2 - A 1-year NBA coaching contract?/Nuggets flip #26 for draft picks/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:40:12 +0000

0:00 - The Trailblazers just hired former Timberwolves/Nuggets assistant coach Micah Nori as their next head coach. But they signed him to a 1-year deal. That's a pretty unconventional way of doing business, Portland.

15:00 - The Nuggets flipped their 26th overall pick in the draft last night for more draft picks. Vic has a feeling that they're loading up on assets to include in a trade package. They'll shed salary with the trade, then announce a deal with Peyton Watson.

33:39 - Oh, by the way...Mauricio Pochettino, coach of the US Men's National Soccer Team, is a Broncos fan? The Broncos gifted him a custom jersey with his name on it.
Oh, by the way...the NHL wants to expand to Houston or Austin. Would hockey work in either of those cities?
Oh, by the way...look for the PGA Tour to return to Denver as soon as 2028.

6-24-26 Hour 1 - Nuggets draft...no one/NBA draft crapshoot, Slippery Sorsby slope/Bowen Byram traded

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:28:47 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, with the 26th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Nuggets selected...no one. They traded their selection to the San Antonio Spurs for No. 35 and two future second round picks. What's the plan here? This has to mean another big move is coming, right?

15:28 - Lots of Nuggets fans are bummed that the team didn't use their 26th overall pick to select anyone. But Moser says, fear not! The NBA draft is such a crapshoot. It's not like the 26th pick is a lock to be a future Hall of Famer.
After that, the NFL has cancelled the Supplemental Draft. Now Brendan Sorsby can't play college football this year, and can't be drafted into the NFL til 2027. He also can't sign as a free agent until he's gone through a full draft cycle. Get ready to learn CFL, buddy. The NFL is really trying to make an example of him, and it sets a dangerous precedent.

34:00 - The Buffalo Sabres traded Bowen Byram (Avs legend) to the Chicago Blackhawks and got an impressive haul for him! We didn't realize he carried that much value on the market.

6-23-26 Hour 3 - Adam Mares previews the NBA Draft/Nuggets are still contenders/Miami in the mix

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:49:35 +0000

0:00 - There are about 1,000 different moves the Nuggets could make during the NBA Draft tonight, and we could see any of them happening. Let's bring in a certified knower of Nuggets ball: Adam Mares of DNVR Nuggets/the All City NBA podcast. What does he think the Nuggets will do tonight? What do the Nuggets need to do this offseason to maximize the roster and get Jokic another ring?

20:28 - Why do people feel like the Nuggets aren't contenders anymore? They won more games than the eventual champion New York Knickerbockers. They still have a stacked roster. And yet, lots of Nuggets fans feel like the Jokic Window has been slammed shut for good.

34:43 - Miami is one of those teams that's always in the mix. They haven't won since LeBron was there, but man, they're always RIGHT THERE. Erik Spoelstra is a wizard. Now, they get to pair Giannis with Bam. That'll be fun to see.

6-23-26 Hour 2 - Greek Freak heads to South Beach/Messi doing Messi things/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:23:39 +0000

0:00 - Giannis is finally done dropping hints of wanting to leave or not wanting to leave or wanting to leave or not wanting to leave Milwaukee. He's taking his talents to South Beach. The Miami Heat are such a desireable destination for a bunch of different reasons. Always will be. It's hard to compete with that.

14:24 - Yesterday, Messi scored 2 more goals in the World Cup. And he missed a PK! He could've had back-to-back World Cup hat tricks! Team USA is off to a really strong start this Cup. They probably won't win the whole thing. That's still a very tall order. But if they win their first game of the knockout round, we'll be satisfied.

32:09 - Oh, by the way...Benny Montgomery, who the Rockies selected 8th overall in the 2021 MLB Draft, announced his retirement from professional baseball at the age of 23.
Oh, by the way...the PGA announced a completely revamped format starting in 2028. There will be 2 different tours happening at the same time with a relegation system in place.
Oh, by the way...someone had to put a sticker over the word "Gillette" on every single seat in Gillette Stadium. Over 60,000 stickers placed on over 60,000 stadium seats because of FIFA's sponsorship rules.

6-23-26 Hour 1 - Giannis traded to Miami/NBA shedding mode, Rox walk off Sox/Factors of winning

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The Milwaukee Bucks finally traded Giannis to the Heat for a HUGE haul. None of these whispers from Shams. It finally happened. What's the temperature in Milwaukee this morning? How do Bucks fans feel about Giannis? Is it similar to the way Nuggets fans felt when Melo went to the Knickerbockers?

15:22 - The NBA CBA has all these teams in Shedding Mode. How do we offload contracts and stay under the aprons, taxes, etc.?
The Rockies Rockie'd for 8 straight innings, then walked off the Red Sox on a TRIPLE in the bottom of the 9th. Say what you will about this squad, but they're sure fun to watch.

33:10 - It takes a lot of different factors to win in the NFL year after year. Some of those factors are in your control. Most aren't. Even if the Broncos "run it back," there's no guarantee they'll win 14 games and make the AFC Championship again.

6-22-26 Hour 3 - Expectations for CU in Year 4/Surprised by Australia & Golf fans/NBA Draft, weekend headlines

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:26:31 +0000

0:00 - It's Year 4 of Deion Sanders at CU. There HAVE to be expectations that go beyond selling merch and getting clicks. They have to WIN ballgames and make a run at a Big 12 title. Period. Enough is enough.

15:25 - Brett was surprised by 2 groups of fans this weekend: Australian soccer fans beefing with Americans on Twitter (hold this L, Australia), and Golf fans who actively booed/rooted against Wyndham Clark at the US Open. That was pretty unusual for a golf crowd.

31:47 - The NBA Draft is tomorrow. Will the Nuggets partake in any trade trickery?
After that, let's run through some of the big NHL/NBA headlines from the weekend.

6-22-26 Hour 2 - Tomorrow is a big Nuggets day/Vic's dog incident, Giannis will be traded/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - The NBA Draft is tomorrow. Vic says it will be a very important day for the Nuggets. What they do, or don't do, will speak volumes about their offseason plans/overall vision for the team.

15:57 - Vic has a dog-related incident yesterday and he PROMISED the Queen of Chicken he wouldn't talk about it on air today. And, yet...here he is bringing it up. How did Vic clash with a good boi yesterday?
Shams is reporting now that Giannis WILL be traded before the NBA Draft tomorrow. Where will he end up?

29:49 - Oh, by the way...the Amateurs did well at the US Open! That's a TOUGH course there at Shinnecock. If Vic, Moser, and Brett golfed in a scramble and you only took their best scores, how low could they score on that course?
Oh, by the way...Cape Verde played to another draw in the World Cup. The little engine that could is still rolling, baby!
Oh, by the way...Sean Keeler wrote an article about the history of CU football. It existed before Deion, and it'll exist after he leaves. And, oh by the way, who did Keeler interview for this article? Darian Hagan, the starting QB for CU's only national championship team

6-22-26 Hour 1 - Beefin' with Australia, Wyndham Wins/Vic's golf embarrassment/Coach Sanstradamus

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - USA beat Australia in the World Cup over the weekend, and the reaction online from Australians was...something. Are we beefin' with the land down under now?
Denver's finest and Friend of the Program Wyndham Clark won the US Open in front of a HOSTILE crowd at Shinnecock. Brett didn't realize there was so much hate for Clark! Good on him for persevering and winning his 2nd US Open.

(The song I used in the show open was "The Sound of Silence." Hello darkness, my old friend. Today marks the beginning of the end.)

16:46 - Vic suffered golf embarrassment of the highest order over the weekend. And maybe...just maybe...we should give more grace to athletes who choke in big moments.

34:06 - Mike Sanford NAILED his Rockies 30 wins prediction. He predicted it DOWN TO THE DAY. Unreal. They won their 30th game on Saturday against the Pirates and MAN that was a strange finish.

6-18-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Coach Sanford's prophetic prediction, Knicks parade imposters/DRUNK TAKES

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:01:00 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold just published an article about how the Broncos successfully navigated the dead money from Russell Wilson's contract. They made the AFC Championship game while paying Russ $85 million not to play football. How did they pull off the impossible? Did they change the future of the NFL? Will other teams try to copy Denver's formula when it comes to dead cap hits? Leggy joined us this morning and broke down all the findings in his article.

19:35 - Back in March, Coach and Raj placed bets on when the Rockies would reach the 30 win mark. Coach Sanford predicted June 20th. Today is June 18th and the Rockies have 28 wins. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in town starting tomorrow. Can they win their next 2 games and fulfull the Sanford prophecy down to the exact day??
After that, the New York Knickerbockers championship parade is underway, and they have celebrities on the parade floats/busses/whatever you wanna call them. Really? Ben Stiller and Timothee Chalamet are IN THE PARADE?? They're not on the team! What are we doing here??

30:19 - We're off tomorrow, which means it's time for our favorite part of the week (a little early) DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

6-18-26 Hour 2 - Best & Worst case NFL scenarios/World Cup underdogs, Draft and develop/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:50:41 +0000

0:00 - CBS Sports published an article with the best and worst case scenarios for every NFL team this season. What did they write for the Broncos?

12:53 - In the World Cup, we love seeing these tiny countries go toe-to-toe with soccer behemoths. Yesterday, DR Congo played to a 1-1 draw with PORTUGAL who has a played named, let me check my notes here, CHRISTIAN RONALDO. That's amazing. Just like Cape Verde holding Spain scoreless in a 0-0 draw. We always root for a chaotic underdog.
Next, OKC is hoping to move into the Top 10 of the NBA draft next week. They certainly have extra picks they can package in a trade. Sam Presti has built the team by drafting young studs and developing them, which keeps the team cheap and under the aprons/caps/taxes, etc. Hmmmm...that kinda sounds like...what Calvin Booth wanted to do...

32:46 - Oh, by the way...Rory is currently in the lead at the US Open. And Brett's still not a Rory guy.
Oh, by the way...a French tennis player dropped 7 F-bombs in about 20 seconds during a postgame interview. That's gotta be some sort of a record, right?
Oh, by the way...some Japanese World Cup fans perfectly summed up Texas with two succinct sentences.

6-18-26 Hour 1 - Broncos changed the Dead Money game/Knicks are in Cap trouble/VGK's GM running his mouth

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:31:09 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold wrote an article detailing the entire Russell Wilson dead cap saga. The Broncos paid him $85 million dollars not play play football for 2 years, and made it back to the AFC Champopnship game. They changed the way NFL franchises view/handle dead money.

15:01 - Knicks Owner James Dolan recently spoke about the issues he'll have navigating the NBA CBA rules regarding salary cap going forward. Yet again, another defending champion is finding it impossible to "run it back." 8 different teams have won the NBA championship in the last 8 years. We haven't had a repeat champion since the Warriors in '17 and '18. Like it or hate it, the CBA has give the NBA ultimate parity.

33:22 - The Vegas Golden Knights had their end of season press conference yesterday, and their GM Kelly McCrimmon went on the attack! He's HAD IT with people only attributing their success to the favorable expansion draft. And Moser's HAD IT with Kelly McCrimmon.

6-17-26 Hour 3 - How's that Ankle lookin!?/Warriors want LeBron, Does backup QB matter?/US Open preview

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:48:49 +0000

0:00 - Broncos Mandatory Mini-camp is underway, and all eyes are on Bo Nix...'s ankle. Yesterday, he spoke to the media and explained the whole AnkleGate saga, including his clean-up procedure and recovery process/timeline.

17:23 - If LeBron decides to leave LA (which he probably won't), the Golden State Warriors want him. Really? That team isn't old enough already?
After that, we heard Kreckman and Lindahl the other day. Andy was freaking out about Jarrett Stidham and said he can no longer be the backup QB of this team. He blew his audition in the AFC Championship game. Does that REALLY matter? Does your backup QB really matter THAT much?

35:56 - The US Open begins tomorrow at Shinnecock. If you put the average person on that golf course, what would they score? Could any of us shoot less than 100? 150?

6-17-26 Hour 2 - Nuggets in the Top 100/Avs trade Ross Colton to Nashville/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:31:14 +0000

0:00 - Summer means one thing: rankings and lists. And ranking lists. Lists of rankings! The Ringer ranked the Top 100 NBA players now that the season's in the books. We know Jokic is on the list. Where does he rank. How many Nuggets cracked the Top 100?

14:46 - Ross Colton is headed to Nashville! Chris MacFarland's first move as the Predators GM involves his old team. How much more tinkering with the Avs rosters can we expect this summer? How much does it need?

29:36 - Oh, by the way...these World Cup water breaks/hydration breaks are just commercial breaks. We're trying to disguise them, but that's all they are. Have you see how much it costs to buy hydration break commercial air time? We're talking Super Bowl commerical prices here.
Oh, by the way...Luka Doncic helped Jaxson Hayes get Slovenian citizenship. Hayes can now play with Doncic on Team Slovenia in international games. That...kinda feels like we're coloring outside the lines a bit here, doesn't it?
Oh, by the way...a French World Cup fan has fallen in love with Buc-ee's. He tried to be a snob and avoid it, but he got sucked in. He posted a video online detailing his experience and it's fantastic.

6-17-26 Hour 1 - Ross Colton to Nashville/Bo Nix AnkleGate 3 - Tokyo Drift/Zlatan back at it, Rockies win

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Chris MacFarland got to Nashville, set up his desk, connected to the Wi-Fi, then immediately called his old team to make a deal. Ross Colton is headed to the Predators. The Avs got some draft picks and a goalie in return. Sakic is back to his wheelin' and dealin' ways. What's the game plan here? What's his next move?

17:13 - Broncos Mandatory Mini-Camp is underway and everyone is focused on one thing and one thing only: BO NIX'S ANKLES, BABY. LFG. What did Bo himself have to say about his ankles yesterday?

33:36 - Zlatan has been fantastic on TV during the World Cup. He's been going full Zlatan. He was asked to rank his Top 10 players in the World Cup now, and his #1 shouldn't surprise you at all.
After that, the Rockies won last night! We totally thought they were gonna blow it and then they didn't. It's still early his in his career, but MAN, that Cole Carrigg is looking legit.

6-16-26 Hour 3 - Sorsby steps away/Reading the Marvin Mims tea leaves/Absurd World Cup ticket prices

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 16:39:02 +0000

0:00 - Amidst all the legal proceedings and trials and injunctions and complaints and teams refusing to play Texas Tech in any sport ever and condemnations from the Big 12 commissioner, Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech have parted ways. Sorsby will enter the NFL's supplemental draft. He will not play another down of college football. What a WILD turn of events. Kaner said this whole debacle wouldn't have happened the same way if Sorsby played at a bigger football school. If he was the QB at Alabama, Georgia, or Ohio State, would teams still refuse to play them?

17:06 - Let's read the tea leaves here...according to Brett, it seems like Sean Payton is planning to move on from Marvin Mims sooner rather than later. He's putting all the pieces in place.

31:45 - Just when you thought ticket prices couldn't get more out of whack, have you SEEN the World Cup ticket prices?? Move on over, NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. There's a new sheriff in town.

6-16-26 Hour 2 - Nuggets championship odds/Avalanche championship odds/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 16:29:19 +0000

0:00 - These sportsbooks are already releasing NBA championship odds for next season...LOVE some good ol' fashioned way-too-early odds. Where do the Nuggets stack up? Do we agree with where they're listed?

And, for what it's worth, the song that lit everything up to start the segment was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjlMmgvp834

17:24 - Same song, different verse. What about championship odds for the Avalanche? They've been in the top 2 or 3 for like 5 years, it seems. Are they still that high? Is THAT an accurate rank?

34:33 - Oh, by the way...Vic attended an event last night honoring the late Doug Moe. A bunch of Nuggets greats showed up and paid their respects to the legendary coach.
Oh, by the way...a golfer named Jeffrey Lannon just won a tournament in Vegas and took home a $30,000 prize. That tournament? The 2026 Golden Tee World Championship.
Oh, by the way...yesterday, DMac put Nelly on trail because of something that Brett, Vic, and Moser said on the show. Today, Nelly gave them the opporunity to defend their position once and for all. You happy now, DMac? Is that enough evidence?

6-16-26 Hour 1 - Sorsby leaves Texas Tech, Mims on the move?/Rox bullpen blows it/The Curse of Minnesota

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - After ALL THAT, Brendan Sorsby won't play football for Texas Tech. He's entering the NFL supplemental draft. Sheesh. What a mess. Essentially, the entire college football world bullied Brendan Sorsby into stepping away from Texas Tech. Good.
After that, Marvin Mims has a new agent. The Broncos signed Jaylen Waddle back in March. Yesterday, the signed a speedster WR out of the UFL. What do we make of all this?

15:40 - Death, taxes, and the Rockies bullpen blowing it. Yesterday, they walked in the winning run. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Brett's pissed about it. He's super fired up this morning. So Vic asked: why do you waste any time getting emotionally invested in the Rockies? They're not going to sniff the playoffs. Why expend any brain power worrying about them?

32:05 - Minnesota sports teams are cursed. It's probably the most cursed sports in the country. There's a pattern of guys being traded away from Minnesota teams then winning a title elsewhere within 2 years. Yikes.

6-15-26 Hour 3 - Jalen Brunson's pay cut paid off/To run it back or not?/Excited World Cup visitors

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:30:05 +0000

0:00 - Jalen Bruson took a $100 million dollar pay cut a few years ago so the Knicks had more money to sign good depth pieces. ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Well, his gamble paid off. His wallet's a little lighter, but he's forever a legend in New York City.

16:21 - To run it back or not to run it back? That is the question. Should the Golden Knights run it back with Torts as their head coach? The Avs are essentially running it back with the same team, Bedsie included. Look at how long Carolina stuck with Rod Brind'Amour! But what about the Nuggets. If they literally can't afford to run it back, what should they do with the roster?

32:58 - People from every corner of the globe are flocking to the US for the World Cup. And these Europeans are having their eyes opened to the glorious world of things like Buc-ee's, Cracker Barrel, and Taco Bell. It's been so fun seeing all these tourists on social media documenting the gems they've found in America.

6-15-26 Hour 2 - Sean Payton extension/Closest Denver team to winning a title/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos extended Sean Payton's contract through the 2030 season. It's a classy move by ownership, and totally deserved. Look at Denver's rapid turnaround under the Law Firm of Payton & Paton. According to Vic, Sean Payton and Jared Bednar have very similar resumes. So, why are they both perceived/treated so differently?

16:38 - The NHL and NBA seasons are officially OVA. Congrats to the Canes and the Knicks. Now that everything is in the books, has your perception of the Denver teams changed? Are the Avalanche still the most likely team to win a title next? Or have the Broncos surpassed them?

28:23 - Oh, by the way...the Colorado Rockies dropped 23 runs on the Las Vegas Athletics of Sacramento via Oakland. Turns out, when you put major league teams in a minor league stadium, they score a lot.
Oh, by the way...the Florida Gators are renovating their stadium, and it's going to cost as much, if not more, than building a new stadium from scrath. The math ain't mathin.
Oh, by the way...the Dallas Mavericks drafted both Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson...IN THE SAME CLASS. What a generational fumble.

6-15-26 Hour 1 - 2026 Knicks are 2023 Nuggets/Canes win the Cup/USA ROUTS Paraguay

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - What a busy sporting weekend! After 53 loooooooong years, the New York Knickerbockers are NBA Champions again. During the Finals, the Knicks reminded Brett of the 2023 Denver Nuggets. Both championship teams shared a similar quality.

14:46 - The Cup is coming back to Carolina! Congrats to the Canes for bringing home Lord Stanley. But more importantly, the Vegas Golden Knights DIDN'T win the Cup. Their magic ran out at the worst time. Their carriage turned back into a pumpkin. You love to see it.

32:40 - The USA Men kicked off the World Cup with a BANG! They blew the doors off Paraguay 4-1 in their first World Cup match. That's about as complete of a game as we've ever seen them play.

6-12-26 Hour 3 - Can the Broncos keep Cooper?/Everyone believes in Bednar/DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:34:46 +0000

0:00 - Jonathon Cooper's been arrested twice in a week or so. Sean Payton, George Paton, and the Walton-Penner group have a big decision to make. This is the first serious off-the-field issue they've had to deal with. Will they hang onto Cooper and wait for due process of the law? Or should they cut him immediately and avoid a potential headache completely?

14:18 - Joe Sakic and Josh Kroenke finally held the Avs end of the season press conference yesterday. Right off the bat, they made one thing clear: Jared Bednar is the head coach because the locker room loves him. It doesn't matter what any of us jackwagons behind a microphone think. The players want him. That's why he's still here.

33:41 - Moser's dealing with technical issues, blood sugar issues, and bad smell issues today. Happy Friday. Then after that...
It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

6-12-26 Hour 2 - Jonathon Cooper back in jail/Avalanche autopsy with John-Michael Liles/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:29:36 +0000

0:00 - Broncos Linebacker Jonathon Cooper is back in Douglas County jail. He got arrested again last night. This situation has gone from bad to worse. Can the Broncos hang onto him? Or is that a guy you need to cut loose immediately?

17:03 - John-Michael Liles throws on the headset so Moser can take another Twix break. JML was at the Avs end of season presser yesterday. What were his takeaways from everything Sakic and Kroenke had to say?

32:47 - Oh, by the way...Phil Mickelson is back in the headlines again for the wrong reasons. He's had a meteoric fall from grace in the past few years. Oh, by the way...Karl-Anthony Towns was playing chess on the final play of Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Everyone else was playing checkers. Oh, by the way...a top outfield prospect for the Dodgers hurt his knee because he had to dodge (no pun intended) the bat dog.

6-12-26 Hour 1 - Sakic & Kroenke address the media/Breaking Broncos news/World Cup preview

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:22:29 +0000

0:00 - Joe Sakic and Josh Kroenke FINALLY addressed the media yesterday for the Avs end of the season press conference. Did they say the right things? Did they answer all the questions we've had in the offseason so far?

15:30 - News broke during this segment that Jonathon Cooper has been arrested again. He's back in Douglas County jail. Yikes. His days in orange and blue may be coming to a close sooner than we all expected.
Mid-segment, Marc Moser disappeared completely and handed off his headset to Conor McGahey. Hi Conor! What a pleasant surprise.

33:42 - Conor McGahey is a HUGE soccer fan and has been a hockey ref since his teenage years. Let's preview the World Cup with a true soccer junkie. Who do the USA Men never stand a real chance? What are reasonable expectations for them this year?

6-11-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Conflicted rooting, Insane Knicks comeback/Sports is a brutal business

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:17:25 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold will be at Broncos OTAs today! What will he be looking for? Will he be laser-focused on Bo Nix's ankles? Davis Webb will address the media for the first time today as a play-caller on offense. Will he divulge any information about the distribution of power between him and Sean?

14:57 - Sometimes, for the sake of standings/postseason seeding, you have to root for a team that isn't yours. BUT, if that team wins, it benefits YOUR team. It's such a weird rollercoaster of emotion. It's also a blast.
After that, we still can't believe what we witnessed at Madison Square Garden last night. The New York Knickerbockers casually pulled off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history with a gazillion celebrities in attendance.

32:34 - Yesterday, Altitude TV announced that they're not renewing the contracts of Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, and Chris Dempsey. None of them will be involved with the Nuggets TV broadcast next season. Hastings will continue to co-host PHD, and he'll occasionally join Koz in the radio booth during Nuggets broadcasts on our airwaves. That's the business of sports, both on the field and off the field. People get fired. Teams make changes. It sucks. It's tough and it's inevitable. If you're looking to enter the world of sports broadcasting, understand that everyone has been fired or will be fired.

6-11-26 Hour 2 - Vic will be at Broncos OTAs/NBA CBA & Nuggets Expert Jake Coyne in studio

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - Vic is going to Broncos OTAs today. He's the only person from the show who will be there. What will he learn today? What will he report back to us tomorrow?

14:45 - It's that time of year again, folks. We're trying to figure out what the heck the Nuggets can/should do during the offseason. But we don't understand the CBA. Too many dang rules. We know nothing. Let's make a call to the bullpen. Jake Coyne, our Nuggets/NBA CBA expert joined us in studio to answer all our burning questions...to the best of his ability.

32:17 - More with Jake Coyne in studio. We couldn't fit all our questions into one segment! Let's dig deeper into the specifics of a Nuggets offseason game plan.

6-11-26 Hour 1 - Best comeback in NBA Finals history/The harsh business of sports/World Cup trivia

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - That was the GREATEST comeback in NBA history. Period. The NY Knickerbockers battled back from a 29-POINT DEFICIT and beat the Spurs to take a 3-1 series lead. Unbelievable. Thanks for playing, Spurs. This series is OVA.

16:05 - Yesterday, Altitude TV announced that they're not renewing the contracts of Chris Marlowe, Scott Hastings, and Chris Dempsey. None of them will be involved with the Nuggets TV broadcast next season. Hastings will continue to co-host PHD, and he'll occasionally join Koz in the radio booth during Nuggets broadcasts on our airwaves. Sports is an unforgiving, brutal, harsh business. Everyone will be fired at some point. It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when. No one is safe.

34:36 - The World Cup begins TAHNIGHT (say it in your best Berto voice). Vic claims to be the soccer/World Cup expert of the show. Let's spring some impromptu World Cup trivia on him and see how he does.

6-10-26 Hour 3 - Officially done with the Knicks/A soft NBA discourse/Anti-Cigar rhetoric

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:33:50 +0000

0:00 - Brett was trying to find it in his heart to root for the Knickerbockers! He truly was. And he was starting to get there! They have a lot of likeable dudes on the roster. But their fanbase officially ruined it for us. Those jackwagons can't experience any more happiness. We hope San Antonio rattles off 3 straight, starting tonight. SPURS COUNTRY. LET'S JANGLE.

14:30 - There's an NBA discussion happening right now amongst all the talking heads. And, let's be real...the discussion is SOFT. It's so soft. We can't handle a little physicality on the court during the NBA FINALS?

32:58 - A high school lacrosse team in Massachusetts was forced to forfeit a state tournament semi-final game. Why? Because the seniors on the team enjoyed some victory cigars at their graduation ceremony. According to Vic, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Anti-cigar rhetoric runs rampant in this country.

6-10-26 Hour 2 - The Mystery of Brett Howden/Avoid locker room cancers/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:08:40 +0000

0:00 - The Vegas Golden Knights weren't even supposed to make the playoffs, and here they are 2 wins away from bringing Lord Stanley back to the desert. They're the definition of an enigma. In particular, what's gotten into Brett Howden?? He's played the best hockey of his ENTIRE CAREER during this postseason run!

13:28 - Brandon Aiyuk recently went on IG Live and blasted the 49ers for how they handled his injury/contract situation. And we're SO thankful we don't have an Aiyuk/AJ Brown/Antonio Brown/Diva/locker room cancer on the Broncos roster. Everyone is bought in. All for one, one for all.

32:01 - Oh, by the way...FIFA is letting fans buy a message that will appear on the jumbotron during World Cup games. It's yours for the low low price of $79!
Oh, by the way...Brendan Sorsby will appear in court to hash things out with the NCAA...in early February! After the college football season is over. Well, isn't that convenient?
Oh, by the way...LIV Golf is on life support at this point, and the league probably won't survive through the end of the season. The experiment is all but over.

6-10-26 Hour 1 - Canes even the series/Done with Knicks fans, Schaeffer on visiting fans/Sports corruption

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The Canes beat the Golden Knights last night and evened up the Stanley Cup Final. Thank you, Carolina! This series continues to be a blast. But it has Brett thinking...what do those teams have that the Avs don't?

18:01 - We're officially DONE with Knicks fans. Brett was flip-flopping on whether or not he could root for the Knicks and their loudmouth fans, but now it's over. Get bent, Knicks fans. Bing Bong. Go Spurs.
Yesterday, Warren Schaeffer was asked about all the visiting fans who invade Coors Field every night. And believe it or not, Vic actually disagreed with something he said.

35:15 - In honor of FIFA, what are some of the most corrupt organizations in the sports world?

6-09-26 Hour 3 - Sam Presti playing dumb/CFB House of Cards could collapse/Jake Coyne's Nuggets guide

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 16:31:32 +0000

0:00 - OKC Thunder GM Sam Presti addressed the media yesterday and just...where do we even begin? He spewed so much misinformation in like a 30 seconds soundbite. It's hard to fathom. But his end of the season presser confirms one thing: OKC's flopping and foulbaiting and playing the victim culture comes from the top. The VERY top. Always has, always will.

13:14 - The CFP's whole house of card is teetering precariously. If Brendan Sorsby can place 9,000 sports bets, including betting on his own team, transfer schools, be granted another year of eligibility, and all he has to do is serve a 2 game suspension...then what's the point of having rules? The rules are good as garbage at this point.
But also, everyone else needs to chill. Bama, Florida, Georgia, all these SEC stalwarts...you can't cry about the sanctity of college football when you spent DECADES tarnishing it with shady backdoor practices.

32:24 - Friend of the program and certified nerd Jake Coyne recently released his ultimate Nuggets bible/manifesto/offseason guide. It's 70 pages! Brett and Moser didn't read it, obviously. Too many word. But Vic looked through it, and as always, it was overflowing with valuable insight.

6-09-26 Hour 2 - Implications of the Sorsby situation/Praise for Jaylen Waddle/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - As reported by Ari Meirov yesterday, Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby "admitted to wagering at least $90,000 across more than 9,000 bets during his college career, including bets involving Indiana football while he was a member of the Hoosiers in 2022." A judge ruled he has to serve a 2-game suspension, then he can play college football for the rest of the 2026 season. That's insane.
Already, multiple teams around the Big 12 are saying they'll refuse to play Texas Tech if the ruling stands. The Big 12 commissioner has a sticky situation on his hands. This is going to get worse before it gets better.

15:09 - Sean Payton loves him some Jaylen Waddle. Jaleel McLaughlin loves him some Jaylen Waddle. Garret Bolles loves him some Jaylen Waddle! After the first round of OTAs, there's high praise for, you guessed it...Jaylen Waddle.

34:48 - Oh, by the way...World Cup players have arrived in the states, and they can't handle the heat. Literally. 80 degrees is apocalyptic in England. Get ready to learn 98 degrees with 90% humidity in Florida, buddy.
Oh, by the way...did anyone watch the Pat McAfee simulcast of the NBA Finals last night?
Oh, by the way...the Nashville Predators are evaluating players at the NHL Combine by making them stack golf balls. Huh?

6-09-26 Hour 1 - Enough with MSG's Celebrity Row/Sam Presti is a whiny loser/Presti is also a whiny lair

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The Spurs won Game 3 last night, and NOW, we've got ourselves a series. Sorry, NYC. Wemby spoiled your party at the Garden. Can we stop with the whole NYC Celebrity Row fanfare and glazing? ESPN is acting like the Knicks are the first NBA Franchise to have fans. And by the way Timothee Chalamet and Spike Lee, you're not on the team! Quit acting like it! Jeez. Just WATCH the GAME.

16:27 - Sam Presti is a brilliant GM. Don't get it twisted. Look at how he's turned around the Thunder. He built a championship juggernaut with a back-to-back MVP on the roster. But he's also a WHINY LOSER. He addressed the media yesterday, and we genuinely can't believe some of the words he actually spoke into a microphone.

37:07 - Not only did Sam Presti cry about SGA getting criticized on social media, he also played dumb about OKC getting the benefit of the whistle. So he's a whiny dork and also a liar. What a combo! This GUY. Guess what? You just earned the TOP SPOT ON THE LIST. Yes, THE list.

6-08-26 Hour 3 - Chicago fumbled the Bears big time/New-look KAT in NYC/Larkin's shortlist, Waddle's speed

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:29:04 +0000

0:00 - The deal's not done, but the Chicago Bears are most likely headed to Hammond, Indiana. Who cares if it's just up the road from Chicago? It's a different state! Chicago screwed this up, and Illinois screwed it up. Ya done goofed. It makes Vic appreciate Denver's sports scene a little more. All 4 of our major sports teams play in the same part of the same city. That's pretty cool.

17:09 - Karl-Anthony Towns has completely revived his career in NYC. The Knicks version of KAT is way better than the Timberwolves version of KAT. What did the Knickerbockers do to get the most out of him?

32:42 - Dylan Larkin has supposedly narrowed down his list of preferred destinations, and it doesn't include the Colorado Avalanche. Should the Avs still pursue him? Do they need his services?
Also, early reports out of Broncos camp - everyone's raving about Jaylen Waddle. He's impressing both Sean Payton and his teammates. Brett thinks it comes down to one thing: SPEED. Waddle is fast. When was the last time the Broncos has a pure speedster catching the football?

6-08-26 Hour 2 - Knicks tix are through the ROOF/Brendan Sorsby eligible to play in 2026/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - If you want to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, you'd better sell your house and your car. You JUST might have enough, if you're lucky. What's the most you've ever spent on a sporting event/concert in your life?

13:43 - Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is now eligible to play college football in 2026 after being granted an injunction by...a judge in Lubbock, Texas. According to Ari Meirov, Sorsby, '"admitted to wagering at least $90,000 across more than 9,000 bets during his college career, including bets involving Indiana football while he was a member of the Hoosiers in 2022." Now, he'll serve a 2 game suspension then be back on the field. That's insane, right!? This will set a horrible precedent if it stands.

31:06 - Oh, by the way...Cleveland Guardians radio PxP voice Tom Hamilton took a hilarious swipe at Jazz Chisholm during a broadcast. What's a "good" batting average these days? Is .300 still the gold standard?
Oh, by the way...Jacob "The Miz" Misiorowski was throwing FIRE for the Brew Crew at Coors Field this weekend. He threw the fastest pitch ever recorded by a starting pitcher in MLB history. What are you supposed to do with that, man!
Oh, by the way...how much would you pay to own a folding chair that Taylor Swift sat in courtside at Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals?

6-08-26 Hour 1 - Knights & Knicks have the "It" factor/Jonathan Cooper arrested/Our boy Zlatan is back at it

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - What do the Vegas Golden Knights & New York Knicks have in common? They both have that "Team of Destiny" feel to them. When their backs are against the wall, they stand tallest. They win against all odds. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Both Finals have been pure cinema so far.

15:48 - Jonathan Cooper was arrested last Friday on domestic violence charges. According to the police affidavit, he did something we've never heard of before. He...bit a cell phone?
Of course, the Broncos will wait for all the details to emerge before they make a decision. But if everything is true and they cut him loose...would that pave the way for a Von Miller return?
Also, it's been a while since the Broncos had a case like this. They used to have off-field issues consistently. Is this the first arrest under the new Walton-Penner ownership group?

34:34 - Long-time listeners of our show know how much we love our boy Zlatan Ibrahimović. In his playing days, he was a complete headcase in the best way. We've missed seeing him on the soccer pitch. With the World Cup coming up, he sat down for an interview with Tom Brady on Fox. He said something interesting about US sports fans, but Brett thinks it's a bit misplaced.

Adam Schefter had a CRAZY Monday out of nowhere

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:49:44 +0000

Good to get Adam Schefter back on the horn! It's been a while. Ain't no rest for the wicked! Just when Schefty thought he could enjoy his summer, the NFL Offseason decided to go crazy. What was going through his head on Monday when he got the Myles Garrett trade news?

6-05-26 Hour 3 - Biggest OTAs takeaway: Punting?/Adam Schefter joins the show/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:44:00 +0000

0:00 - Vic was the only one of us at OTAs yesterday. Out of everything he saw, what impressed him the most? His biggest takeaway: Jeremy Crawshaw was punting MOONSHOTS. That guy is legit.

13:58 - Good to get Adam Schefter back on the horn! It's been a while. Ain't no rest for the wicked! Just when Schefty thought he could enjoy his summer, the NFL Offseason decided to go crazy. What was going through his head on Monday when he got the Myles Garrett trade news?

31:20 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

Today's edition includes: yeahehasasoundbitetalkingaboutuhcoaches, go by groin feel, once you really yank it, and bugs landing in your mouth.

6-05-26 Hour 2 - Canes OT Winner...in Spanish?/New Broncos practice facility/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:32:30 +0000

0:00 - Seth Jarvis buried the game-winning goal in OT for the Hurricanes to tie up the series with Vegas at 1-1. The Spanish-language call on ESPN Deportes was electric! Why are goal calls ALWAYS better in Spanish? Or rather, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL calls.

14:36 - Vic was at Broncos OTAs yesterday. He caught a glimpse of the new practice facility they're constructing down there at Dove Valley. And that thing is a HUGE upgrade.

31:48 - Oh, by the way...how much money would you pay to own the World Cup trophy? Not a replica. The actual trophy?
Oh, by the way...Dylan Harper re-posted a TikTok making fun of his teammate De'Aaron Fox. Can't be doing that doing the NBA Finals, Dylan!
Oh, by the way...Shohei Ohtani is currently on pace for arguably the greatest individual season in the history of baseball.

6-05-26 Hour 1 - Carolina ties up the series 1-1/Courtland Sutton defends TE room/Trade for Dylan Larkin?

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:25:10 +0000

0:00 - HURRICANES COUNTRY. LET'S...spin? Storm? Rain? Thank GOD the Hurricanes evened the series last with a thrilling OT win. Seth Jarvis with the snipe, and we're tied 1-1 heading back to Vegas. We don't have any strong feeling about the Canes. We just DESPISE Vegas. Those jackwagon fans don't deserve happiness, nor does anyone associated with that franchise in any way, shape, or form.

15:58 - At OTAs yesterday, Courtland Sutton was asked about how Jaylen Waddle can help open up the field, and he ended his answer by defending the TE room. Unprompted. Good on Court for standing up for his teammates, but let's zero in on one specific thing he said. It might actually explain why the TE room has struggled the past few years.

32:01 - Dylan Larkin has told the Red Wings he wants out of Detriot. Should the Avs trade for him?

6-04-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Brett "found something," Depth on display in NBA Finals/LeBron's yacht golfing

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:34:14 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold will be at Broncos OTAs today! According to Leggy, the two biggest Broncos stories right now are Jaylen Waddle and Bo Nix's ankle. Is there anything else he'll be looking for? Also, in honor of Russell Wilson's retirement, does Leggy think Russ is a Hall of Famer. Even with how his career went post-Seahawks, did he still earn a gold jacket?

16:50 - Guess what, guys! Brett thinks he "found something" with his golf game. Easy there, big guy. Famous last words.
After that, the Knicks and Spurs battled it out last night in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Brett noticed that both teams relied on depth! They didn't have a 7 ot 8 man rotation. They used 10 or more guys! That's what we wanted the NUGGETS TO DO against the Timberwolves! USE your depth! It's there! You have it! Why didn't they use depth in the first round, awhile New York and San Antonio are relying on their benches in the FRIGGIN FINALS??

31:17 - LeBron has gotten super into YouTube golfers recently. A video emerged yesterday of King James hitting golf balls off a yacht in Italy. Knockin em into the ocean like he's Cosmo Kramer. Cool, man. That's Russell Wilson levels of cornball.

6-04-26 Hour 2 - Run on the court & get PUNISHED/Could a CFB Super League survive?/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:12:36 +0000

0:00 - Last night during Game 1 of the NBA Finals, some jackwagon ran on the court so he could take a selfie with Wemby. Security grabbed him and ushered him off the court. Seriously? That accomplishes nothing. Ban him from all NBA games for life. Who cares? It sets a bad precedent. If you run on the court, security needs to TACKLE you. Paste you. Squash you like a little bug. On the basketball court, tennis court, football field, baseball field, soccer field, you name it! Physical harm should be headed your way.

14:54 - Could a CFB super league survive? Take the top 30-50 teams, make them play against each other AND, this is key, you NEED a relegation system. Just like British soccer. The bottom finishers get sent down to the lower leagues from whence they came.

32:08 - Oh, by the way...Caleb Williams will be on the cover of Madden 27. Is that still the honor it once was? Does Caleb Williams have the resume to be a Madden cover?
Oh, by the way...Dillon Gabriel wears #8 for the Cleveland Browns. Jared Verse, who just got traded from the Rams, ALSO wears #8. Does Gabriel have to give it up?
Oh, by the way...if you hit the lottery, you MIGHT be able to afford tickets to Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.

6-04-26 Hour 1 - Knicks & Spurs use depth/MacFarland's intro presser/Russell Wilson retirement video

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The New York Knickerbockers stole Game 1 of the NBA Finals from the Spurs in San Antonio last night. What a game! Brett noticed that both teams USE THEIR DEPTH. They're playing like 10+ players a game! It's almost like that's what we wanted the NUGGETS TO DO in their first round series! This is the new NBA. Depth wins ballgames. No more shortening the rotation in the playoffs. All hands on deck.

16:05 - Chris MacFarland was officially introduced yesterday as President of Hockey Operations and General Manager of the Nashville Predators. He addressed the media in Music City and was very complimentary of Joe Sakic, the Avalanche organization, and his time in Denver as a whole. When did Nashville start chatting with CMac? Were they in touch during the playoffs? Does that matter?
He also spoke very highly of Jared Bednar and the coaching staff overall. Does that sound like a guy who would've fired Bedsie?

34:31 - Russell Wilson officially announced his retirement from the NFL. He's taking his talents to CBS. He posted a retirement video on social media yesteray and it's vintage Russ cornball tomfoolery. Russ gon Russ. Let's ride.

6-03-26 Hour 3 - Long summer ahead, international tournaments/Overzealous AJ Brown/Moser CAN'T with us

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 16:34:04 +0000

0:00 - It's gonna be a long summer, man. The Nuggets left a bad taste in our mouths. The Avs left an even worse one. And now, Brett's asking Moser stupid questions. Strap in, everyone. It's gonna get weird until Broncos training camp.
After that, not to go all Seinfeld, but WHAT'S the DEAL with all these international tournaments in hockey and basketball? There was just a hockey tournament. Now there's a basketball one? Jamal Murray isn't playing for Canada, but Jokic IS playing for Serbia?

16:00 - AJ Brown spoke to the media yesterday for the first time as a New England Patriot, and he was a little overzealous. How do you feel about someone playing for a team, while actively being a fan of a different team?

36:22 - Brett got a song completely stuck in Moser's head. And it happens to be a song that Moser hates with the burning passions of 1000 suns. As I said earlier...it's gonna be long summer.

6-03-26 Hour 2 - Joe Sakic GM for "foreseeable future"/PSII's bonus sets a precedent/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 16:09:22 +0000

0:00 - The Nashville Predators hired Chris MacFarland to be their President of Hockey Operations and General Manager. Joe Sakic will now be the Avs GM "for the foreseeable future." How long is the "foreseeable future"? Do the Avalanche even need to hire a new GM or can they let Sakic re-take the reigns entirely? Also, if the roster doesn't need that much tweaking to begin with, do they need a brand new GM? You know Sakic was involved with every decision Chris MacFarland signed off on anyway.
(Also, for what it's worth, the song I bumped in with was "I Like It, I Love It" by Tim McGraw)

17:54 - The Broncos paid PSII a cool $5 million bonus yesterday. It's good work if you can get it! But the problem is...does that set a precedent? How good does a Broncos player need to be to earn a bonus? Are other guys on the defense going to be jealous?

31:43 - Oh, by the way...former Angles/Orioles outfielder Jordyn Adams is leaving pro baseball to go...back to college? He was a 5-star WR recruit in 2018. He's now a 26-year-old freshman at SMU.
Oh, by the way...TJ "Donald Rumsfeld" Rumfield hit a home run that only cleared the wall because it bounced off Jo Adell's head. The ol' Jose Canseco special.
Oh, by the way...Steph Curry just signed a $400 million, 10-year shoe deal with a Chinese company called Li-Ning.

6-03-26 Hour 1 - Chris MacFarland hired by Nashville/Vegas feels like Team of Destiny/PSII's $5 million bonus

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:55:01 +0000

0:00 - Avs GM Chris MacFarland was hired by the Nashville Predators to be their President of Hockey Operations and General Manager. They made him an offer he can't refure, so he took his talents to the Music City. Joe Sakic will take over as GM "for the foreseeable future."
If they hire a new GM, what will the relationship be between him and Sakic? Sakic definitely has his fingerprints on every deal and, oh by the way, he's a Hall of Famer with 2 Stanley Cups. Or, do you let Sakic just be the GM by himself again?

15:11 - The more we think about the Avs vs Golden Knights series, the less sense it makes. We hate to keep using the F word but it feels like a fluke. Vegas stole Game 1 of the Finals on the road at Carolina last night. The Hurricanes scored a goal 30 SECONDS INTO THE GAME and still lost 5-4. Vegas just feels like THAT team. They're the team of destiny. This is their year. Everything is coming up aces, you might say.

33:44 - The Broncos gave PSII a $5 million bonus yesterday. That kinda came out of nowhere. Here you go, PSII! Take a cool $5 mil. Brett's reading between the lines here...what was the real reason for the bonus? Were the Broncos attempting to appease PSII and prevent a potential camp holdout?

6-02-26 Hour 3 - MacFarland headed to Nashville?/Spurs meteoric rise/Stanley Cup Final, NFL fluke seasons

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:21:11 +0000

0:00 - Chris MacFarland has been given permission to speak to the Nashville Predators about a job. They'd have to beat GM. They'd have to make him something even better than that. Maybe that's why the end of season presser hasn't happened yet. It'd be pointless to put CMac up there in front of the media if he's leaving for Nashville anyway.

15:28 - It's crazy that the Spurs are already in the NBA finals. They drafted Wemby, added some pieces around him, and made the NBA Finals in his 3rd year. Usually, teams have to lose before they can win. It's the process. You have to suffer! Feel the pain! You can't skip steps, so the old adage goes. Well, the Spurs skipped steps and made the finals pain-free.

32:14 - The Stanley Cup Final begins tonight. Can the Hurricanes do it? Can they end their 20-year cup drought and vanquish the evil Golden Knights?
Also, was last year's Broncos season a fluke? Do you think they can win 14 games again, or come close? What other teams had flukey outlier-type seasons last year?

6-02-26 Hour 2 - Responding to Bill Simmons/Chris MacFarland talking to Nashville/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - Bill Simmons had some...STRONG words about the Nuggets and their unwillingness to spend in order to keep the roster together. Cool, man. But Bill clearly doesn't understand the intricacies of the CBA. I know we sound like a broken record, but the more you spend, the more your hands are tied. The Nuggets are very limited in what they can do this offseason especially without any good draft picks to offer up in a trade package.

15:20 - Avs GM Chris MacFarland has been given permission to speak to the Nashville Predators. Could this be the end of CMac's tenure in Denver?

37:50 - Oh, by the way...Yul Brynner was a total beefcake. Oh, by the way...a softball player for Texas has a very strangle superstition. She eats ladybugs for good luck. Oh, by the way...rankings have been released for all 48 teams in the World Cup. Where does the US rank?

6-02-26 Hour 1 - Spurs defeat OKC in 7/Blockbuster NFL trades/Will you watch Stanley Cup Final?

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Ding dong, the Flop is dead! The Spurs beat the Thunder in 7, and they're heading back to the NBA Finals. Watching the WCF got Brett thinking...could the Nuggets beat either of these teams in a 7 game series when fully healthy? Even though the biggest concern is whether or not the Nuggets CAN stay healthy for a full season & playoffs. Ultimately, what do the Nuggets need to do?

14:31 - Well that came out of nowhere! Some HUGE blockbuster trades went down around the NFL yesterday & over the weekend. One of them poses a direct threat to the Broncos. But thankfully, that trade could still go up in flames.

33:31 - The Stanley Cup Final begins tonight. Avs fans, will you tune in? Will you hate-watch the Golden Knights and root for the Hurricanes? Or is it too painful to tune in at all?

5-29-26 Hour 3 - Von Miller's role with the Broncos?/Avs vs Golden Knights was a fluke/Drunk Takes

Fri, 29 May 2026 16:22:11 +0000

0:00 - Von Miller chatted with us for a few minutes this morning! Vic hosted his Von's Vision fundraiser event last night. It's not secret that the Vonster wants to return to the Broncos ASAFP. We asked him what he thinks his role would be in the already stacked Broncos defense.

17:18 - The more and more Brett stews on it, the more and more Avs vs Golden Knights seems like a fluke. If you play that exact series 100 times, the Avs will probably get swept 1 time. Unfortunately, we're all alive in the timeline where they got swept. Be careful making, pardon the pun, sweeping changes to the roster/personnel because of a freak occurrence.

34:42 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

Today's edition includes: give us a good flush, armored stuffhole, what you should be aware of, she's a total [redacted], and a suspicious keys to the game.

5-29-26 Hour 2 - The lesser of two roster evils/NBA "fixes" tanking problem/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 29 May 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - What's worse? Knowing what you need to do to fix your roster, but not being able to do it because of cap/CBA contraints? Or having a great roster that fell short and not knowing what you're supposed to do with it? Could we possibly be talking about 2 teams in this town?

13:22 - The NBA officially approved a "solution" that's going to "fix" the tanking "issue" that's plaguing the league! Here's the thing though. It's super convoluted, bloated, and no one really understands what's going on. And again...more importantly...it STILL DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM! How are we still doing this??

35:09 - Oh, by the way...the MLB tentatively proposed a hard salary cap and a spending floor. Unsurprisingly, the MLBPA didn't like the proposal. Strap in, y'all. There will be no baseball played in 2027. We're 1000% headed for a lockout.
Oh, by the way...SEC Commissioner said the Cupcake Scheduling Week is officially over. Sorry, Alabama. You don't get to host North Arkansas Tech Community College the week before the Iron Bowl anymore.

5-29-26 Hour 1 - Assessing the Avs & Nugs roster/Von Miller joins the show/RIP Claude Lemieux

Fri, 29 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The Avs and the Nuggets are in different situations roster-wise. The Nuggets might know what they need to do, but don't have the cap room to do it. Meanwhile, the Avalanche don't know WHAT to do, and maybe they don't need to do anything! They're different sides of the same weird coin.

15:14 - Vic hosted Von Miller's Von's Vision fundraiser last night, and he got the Vonster to give us a few minutes this morning! Von has publicly campaigned for a return to the Broncos for years now. Why? Why does he want to come back? What would his role be?

32:49 - Yesterday, Claude Lemiux tragically passed away at the age of 60. RIP an Avalanche legend & an NHL legend.

5-28-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/The power of "Desire," Flopping vs selling calls/SGA's cease and desist

Thu, 28 May 2026 16:51:56 +0000

0:00 - Broncos OTAs begin next week! Let's check in with our Broncos Insider, Jeff Legwold of ESPN. What does he think of Patrick Mahomes' impressive recovery timetable? Does he think the Broncos will bring back Von Miller in any capacity? How's Bo Nix's ankle looking?

18:36 - We got a message on the Voice of the People (which is always there for you on the Altitude Sports Radio app, just tap the microphone at the bottom of the screen and leave me a message), and said the Avs vs Knights in the Conference final came down to one thing: desire. That feels like a bit of an oversimplification, does it not?
After that, Adam Silver hopped on with Pat McAfee yesterday ask had to address the elephant in the room: flopping. He said there's an important distinction between "flopping" and "selling calls." Here's the thing...what if there's wasn't a distinction? How about allowing NONE of it?

33:45 - SGA has sent a cease and desist to Underdog Sports because of the "Unethical Hoops" board game they created. While they never use SGA's name in the game, it's very clearly him. His legal team has stated that Underdog can no longer use his image and likeness, effective immediately.

5-28-26 Hour 2 - Avalanche personnel needs/NFL headlines we've missed/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 28 May 2026 16:18:26 +0000

0:00 - Putting aside coaching for the moment...what are personnel needs for the Avalanche?

15:11 - We've had Avalanche tunnel vision for the past month, as we should. What are some NFL stories we've missed during the Avs playoff run?

33:02 - Oh, by the way...Javon Kinlaw might be the first person ever to use profanity as punctuation. Oh, by the way...a reporter asked Drake Maye is he's gotten "thiccer with two Cs." I do not think that means what you think it means. Oh, by the way...Team USA's World Cup roster is set. How many players you name off the top of your head?

5-28-26 Hour 1 - Avalanche Autopsy Day/Rather be the Avs or Nugs?/Does the best team win?, Mahomes at OTAs

Thu, 28 May 2026 16:11:29 +0000

0:00 - Today's mostly going to be an Avalanche Autopsy day. We've had another day to process this crushing defeat a bit more. As we look at the future and the long offseason, what changes do we need to see?

15:19 - All things considered, would you rather be the Avalanche or the Nuggets right now?

32:11 - First, how often does the "best" team actually win? The Avs were the best team in the regular season. They have a trophy to prove it! How do you define "best" team?
Second, OTAs are underway for most NFL teams and shocker...Patrick Mahomes is on the field practicing for the Chiefs! He tore his ACL about 5 months ago. That's a quick recovery! But this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. We knew he was going to be back when the NFL announced Broncos @ Chiefs on Monday Night Football Week 1. They showed their hand.

5-27-26 Hour 3 - The Avs exit broke Brett's brain/LOC summed up the Avs issues/Most painful playoff exit

Wed, 27 May 2026 17:04:01 +0000

0:00 - Watching Colorado collapse in the conference finals broke Brett's brain. We genuinely don't know how to properly evaluate teams anymore. Everything we thought we knew about hockey? Throw it out the window.

13:53 - We've been struggling to make sense of the last 4 games. Logan O'Connor summed it all up pretty succinctly after the game last night.

30:00 - We've experienced 3 heartbreaking playoff exits in a row. Which one was the most devistating? Bo Nix breaking his ankle, then the Broncos losing the AFC Championship in a snowglobe? The Nuggets getting punked and bullied by the Timberwolves en route to a first round exit? Or the Avalanche getting swept in the conference finals by the Golden Knights?

5-27-26 Hour 2 - Should the Avs run it back?/Did the Avs "quit" last night?/Curious Cale conversation

Wed, 27 May 2026 16:57:24 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton hates the phrase, but who cares? The Avs aren't his hump anyway. Should the Avs "run it back" next season? What would that look like?

15:43 - A lot of people have been saying "quit" and "give up" about the Avs. Did the quit last night in Game 4? Did they give up? Or did they battle til the bitter end?

32:28 - The conversation surrounding Cale Makar, his injury, and his return were...curious, to say the least. We'll probably find out more about his injury in the coming weeks.

5-27-26 Hour 1 - Avs swept out of the playoffs/Complete and total shock/Roster revisionist history

Wed, 27 May 2026 16:35:00 +0000

0:00 - That's all, folks. The Colorado Wagon rolled to a complete stop last night. Vegas completed the sweep of the Avalanche and ended their quest for Lord Stanley. We're stunned. Speechless. How do we begin to dissect this stupefying series?

15:11 - Complete and total shock. That's what we're feeling this morning. How does it compare to the way we felt after the Broncos got obliterated in Super Bowl 48? It's gotta be comparable, right? After that, we hit the phones to see how fans throughout Avalanche Territory are feeling this morning.

35:22 - A caller mentioned that Chris MacFarland should receive more criticism. Look at all the moves he made with this roster throughout the year! Come on, now. Let's not play revisionist history here. No one had any problem with this roster all season long. Heck, we weren't having these conversations one week ago!

5-26-26 Hour 3 - How hot is Bednar's seat?/Why did the tides turn?/Keys to the Game, strange animal meats

Tue, 26 May 2026 16:46:41 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday on the Morning Sprint, Raj said Bednar will probably lose his job UNLESS the Avs push this series to 7 games. If they lose in 4, 5, or 6, he's gone. His message in the locker room has gotten stale. Is there any truth to that? Just how hot is Bednar's seat?

13:54 - Why did the tides turn against the Avs in Game 3? They had a 3-goal lead, they had momentum, heck, they even had PUCK LUCK and yet they folded after the slightest bit of so-called "adversity." Why couldn't they hang on to the lead?

30:18 - Hopefully not for the last time this season...let's get Moser's keys to an Avalanche victory tonight in Game 4 vs Vegas. That spiraled into a discussion about weird meats we've eaten before. Evidently, hippo meat is pretty good. Go Avs!

5-26-26 Hour 2 - How will the Avs respond?/RIP Ezio Lombardi, Will MacKinnon be back?/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 26 May 2026 16:30:08 +0000

0:00 - It's win or go home tonight. How will the Avs respond? Will they rise to the challenge?

17:16 - Vic shared some heartfelt memories of the late great Ezio Lombardi. He truly lived the American Dream. Rest in peace a North Denver legend.
After that, do we think Nathan MacKinnon will be able to rally and play tonight? Even if he plays in a very limited capacity, can a hobbled MacKinnon be a difference-maker?

33:27 - Oh, by the way...do you care about combined No-Hitters at all? Oh, by the way...Bryce Harper posted a video of himself brushing his teeth, and his method for applying toothpaste is truly insane. Oh, by the way...a dog in Scottsbluff, Nebraska accidentally shot someone with a shotgun. Yeah, you read that right.

5-26-26 Hour 1 - Game 4 wants & expectations/Bednar on the chopping block?/Knicks headed to NBA Finals

Tue, 26 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - What do you expect to see from the Avalanche tonight in Game 4? What do you want/need to see from the Avs? Do you want to see them win a game for the sake of pride? Or would you rather they just lose, head to Cancun, and start getting healthy?

15:37 - For everyone who wants Bednar fired, what do you want him to do differently? WHY do you want him fired? Brett is sick of people hammering the "Fire Bednar" button. Give a specific reason why you want him out.

32:36 - First of all, the song we were jamming to was "Waffle House" by the Jonas Brothers. Long time listeners of ML&K know that banger inside and out.
After that, tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999! The Knicks FINALLY made it back to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years. They're not just winning playoff games. They're DEMOLISHING their opponents. This is a reign of terror on the Eastern Conference.

5-25-26 Hour 3 - Brett's Fantasy Pretend World/No answers to Avs issues/How responsible is Bednar?

Mon, 25 May 2026 16:38:09 +0000

0:00 - Believe it or not, teams HAVE battled back from down 0-3 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs before! It's not unprecedented. Brett dug up the numbers. Improbable? Definitely. Impossible? No.

14:33 - In order to "fix" the Avs, we have to diagnose the problem. And that's where it gets weird. What's the issue with the Avs? We can't find one. Aside from the fact that, well, they're not winning.

34:52 - All day, people have been hammering Brett & Moser for not criticizing Coach Bednar more. How much responsibility does he have for the team's shortcomings? And more importantly, what do you think he could've done differently in this series?

5-25-26 Hour 2 - Avalanche lack mental fortitude/Failing to meet expectations/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 25 May 2026 16:27:18 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche caught whatever's plaguing the Nuggets. They lack any sort of fight and mental fortitude. They had a 3-0 lead over Vegas last night, and after Vegas scored that first goal, it seems like the tires completely popped off the Colorado Wagon. It's like the Avs just rolled over and gave up. Where's the fight? Where's the grit?

16:16 - This wasn't supposed to happen to the Avs. They weren't supposed to be completely outgunned in the damn Western Conference Final. Chris MacFarland has made moves on moves on moves and reshuffled the deck so many times to put them in a position to succeed. This felt like their year. And yet, the season is all but finished.
What does it come down to? Coaching? Roster deficiencies? Or have the Avs big guns failed to step up when they're needed the most?

34:06 - Oh, by the way...the Enhanced Games took place this weekend. They're like the Olympics, but you're allowed to use any "banned" substance you want. Any sort of hormone, steroid, whatever, you name it, it's legal.
Oh, by the way...Justin Simmons just retired from the NFL and hit a hole in one this weekend. Come on, man. That's not fair. How have lifetime golfers like Moser and Vic not hit one yet, but Justin Simmons gets one immediately? Not fair.
Oh, by the way...Dillon Brooks teamed up with Underdog to create a board game about SGA called "Unethical Hoops." It's a parody of Operation. I kid you not. It's real and it's spectacular.

5-25-26 Hour 1 - Avs completely collapse in Game 3/Distributing the blame/A truly confusing loss and series

Mon, 25 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - For people who speak into a microphone for a living, we were rendered speechless last night. That was such a monumental and meteoric collapse by the Avalanche to all but doom their season. Unbelievable. We know they're only down 0-3 and the season isn't over yet, but man it feels like it's over today. What the heck happened to this team??

15:48 - After Game 2, Coach Bednar said it's Cale's decision when he wants to return to play. He doubled down on it Saturday morning. What do we make of that?
Next, who's to blame for the collapse? There's plenty of blame to go around, for sure. How much of it, if any, is on Bednar's shoulders? Or is it more on the players?

34:05 - We still can't believe the Avs blew that game last night. How are they down 0-3 in this series?? This is unbelievable. We wouldn't have predicted this outcome in 1000 years. Not a team this good. The Avs had no fight when the going go the tiniest bit tough.

5-22-26 Hour 3 - DMac live at morning skate/Keys to the Game/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 22 May 2026 16:33:00 +0000

0:00 - Cale Makar is on the ice at morning skate? How's he looking? DMac is down there at Ball Arena. Let's get him on the horn for some live updates on Makar's status.

16:05 - We jokingly gave a morbid keys to the game in the last segment. So NOW, let's get the real Keys to an Avalanche victory tonight in Game 2.

31:27 - It's our favorite part of the week, DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

5-22-26 Hour 2 - Cale Makar's impact/Mark Rycroft live from his toilet/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 22 May 2026 16:26:25 +0000

0:00 - On Spittin Chiclets the other day, Biz said the Avalanche are done for without Cale Makar. Erik Johnson joined Pat McAfee and said missing Cale Makar is like missing prime LeBron James. Can the Avalanche still win this series without him in the lineup?

15:32 - We cold-called Mark Rycroft, and he answered the phone LIVE from his toilet! That's the kind of unfettered access we get here at Altitude Sports Radio! How's Ryker feeling about the Avs heading into tonight's game?

31:57 - Oh, by the way...turns out, Zach Agnos is fantastic as a starting pitcher and terrible as a bullpen pitcher. It's Rockies Freaky Friday out here!
Oh, by the way...Eagles linebacker Nolan Smith was arrested from driving 135 mph in a 70 mph zone. When was the last time you drove a vehicle over 100 mph? Oh, and take a guess where he played his college ball.
Oh, by the way...the NY Football Giants just signed their GM Joe Schoen to a multi-year extension. There's no universe where this move makes any sense.

5-22-26 Hour 1 - Excited for Game 2 tonight/No tone of panic, Vic violated a show rule/Playing with "hesitancy"

Fri, 22 May 2026 16:16:38 +0000

0:00 - It's finally GAME DAY! Avs vs Golden Knights Game 2. Western Conference Final. Ball Arena. Makar or no Makar, we're excited, but it's a chance for the Avs to really prove themselves.

14:38 - We're not panicking about the Avs. You heard us say it all day yesterday. But you know who else isn't panicked? The team! If you listen to everything Bedsie and the players said postgame after the Game 1 loss, they sounded calm. They didn't sound dejected or worried.
Also yesterday, Vic Lombardi violated a cardinal sin of our radio show. Court is in session!

32:50 - It seemed like the Avs were playing with "hesitancy" in Game 1. They need to pick up the pace and be more decisive tonight.

5-21-26 Hour 3 - Avs need to EXECUTE for 60 minutes/Avs know how to respond/No cracks in the Avs yet

Thu, 21 May 2026 17:03:44 +0000

0:00 - Nathan MacKinnon said it like 5 times postgame: they Avs didn't execute. They stuck to the plan for a good majority of the game, but you need to play a full 60 min to beat Vegas. ESPECIALLY in the playoffs. Why did their gameplan falter at times?

13:57 - This Avalanche squad knows how to respond to adversity. Coach Bednar said it himself after the game. Look at how they've responded all season long. Moser also had an example from last season...and managed to get basically everything wrong. But, what did he mean?

31:57 - Nothing about last night's Avs loss makes Brett think there are any chinks in the armor. No cracks in the foundation. They're still solid. There's a LONG way to go before we start to panic.

5-21-26 Hour 2 - Pump the brakes on Avs doom & gloom/Flying on Moser Airlines/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 21 May 2026 16:48:20 +0000

0:00 - Last night's Avs loss stings. Losing to Vegas is never fun, especially at home in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. But the Avs did a lot of things right. There are PLENTY of positive takeaways. They need to tighten up their execution, put more pressure on Carter Hart, and figure out their line combos without Makar. But make no mistake. They WILL respond and win Game 2.

12:32 - Are you panicking about the Avs right now? Hop on a flight on Moser Airlines. He'll be your flight attendant for today. He'll guide you through these turbulent skies.

30:56 - Oh, by the way...Aaron Rodgers officially announced that 2026 will be his final season in the NFL. Brace yourself for the upcoming retirement tour. Oh, by the way...Bill Barnwell wrote a list of every team's best and worst offseason moves so far. What did he choose for the Broncos? Oh, by the way...the Avalanche set out playoff t-shirts for their fans to wear at last night's game. And no one worse them. Why are the Avs a pom pom fanbase but not a t-shirt fanbase?

5-21-26 Hour 1 - Not panicking about Avs Loss/Three biggest parts of the loss/The sky isn't falling, people!

Thu, 21 May 2026 16:38:57 +0000

0:00 - The Avs lost to Vegas last night in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. Oh boy. Here we go again. But the boys aren't panicking this morning! The Avalanche played a solid game last night, but couldn't execute in key moments. It was a razor thin margin. The final score doesn't do justice how close the game actually was.
Do you agree with Brett & Moser? Or are you hitting the panic button today?

14:23 - What were the three biggest components of the Avs loss, according to Kaner?

32:48 - Why is everyone acting like the sky is falling? The Avalanche lost their 2nd game of the entire postseason! Even the best teams lose, and the Avs played really well for the majority of the game? And yet, a large chunk of Avs fans are acting like we're completely and totally doomed!

5-20-26 Hour 3 - Avs vs VGK will come down to.../The Hunger to Win/Coach & Springer Live in the Penalty Box

Wed, 20 May 2026 16:48:27 +0000

0:00 - Brett says the Avs vs Golden Knights series will come down to 3 things.

16:09 - Coach Bednar spoke with us earlier today, and he said this team is HUNGRY right now. They had a similar hunger in 2022. They were fueled by their early exit in 2021 when the fell flat on their faces vs these same Golden Knights and got bounced in the 2nd round.

33:33 - Moser left early. Vic left early. So instead of making Brett do a bonus Appetizer Hour segment, let's head to the bullpen. Coach and Springer (in for Raj) joined us LIVE from the Penalty Box in Ball Arena! They're hanging out there all morning, and we hope none of the Avs spend time there. What are Coach and Springer seeing up close and personal at ice level?

5-20-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Everyone's leaving early, Keys to the Game/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 20 May 2026 16:32:37 +0000

0:00 - How's Coach feeling before the Western Conference Final begins tonight? Will he give us a concrete injury update? Are his boys ready to roll?

17:30 - Both Moser and Vic have to leave the show early today. Doesn't anyone WORK around here?? Brett's the only one holding it down. So before Moser leaves, let's get a Keys to the Game: Western Conference Final edition. Can he incorporate more Star Trek references?

34:09 - Oh, by the way...Nolan Arenado hit a Grand Slam on the 6th pitch of the 1st inning. That's damn near impossible. Has anyone ever hit a Grand Slam on the 6th pitch of a ballgame before? Oh, by the way...Rashee Rice recently had a clean-up procedure on his knee to remove loose debris that was causing inflamation. He'll have plenty of time to recover in jail, where he'll be spending 30 days for violating parole. Oh by the way...our coworkers Arsenal won the Premier League for the first time in 2022 years! The Rams, Avalanche, Nuggets, Mammoth (Colorado, not Utah, the REAL Mammoth team), and now Arsenal have all won championships since 2020. Not bad for the extended Kroenke Family of Teams.

5-20-26 Hour 1 - Avs vs Golden Knights Game 1 TAHNIGHT!/2021 vs 2026, Cavs collapse/What makes the Avs different

Wed, 20 May 2026 16:21:17 +0000

0:00 - It's finally here. The Colorado Hockey Avalanche will play a hockey game tonight. How are we feeling, Avalanche Territory?

17:02 - Are you nervous about Avs vs Golden Knights Game 1? Do you still have residual trauma from 2021? It's understandable if you do, but let's compare the rosters. The 2026 Avs are COMPLETELY different from the 2021 Avs that collapsed in the 2nd round vs Vegas.
Speaking of trauma and collapse, the Cleveland Cavaliers choked away a MASSIVE lead over the Knicks in the 4Q of the Eastern Conference Final Game 1 yesterday. Serious, that was a legendary all-time choke job. Hard to believe.

32:43 - Brett Kulak joined PHD yesterday and they asked him what surprised him about this Avs team after he was traded. This is a guy who just played in 2 consecutive Cup Finals with Edmonton. Think he knows what it takes to make a deep run?
Also, Nathan MacKinnon spoke to the media yesterday, and said Brent Burns is basically a bear because he sleeps all day.

5-19-26 Hour 3 - Biggest advantage & weakness for Avs/OKC hasn't faced adversity/Avs need to test Carter Hart

Tue, 19 May 2026 16:46:11 +0000

0:00 - What are the biggest advantages and biggest weaknesses the Avs have in their upcoming series with the Golden Knights?

15:19 - OKC isn't a team that knows how to handle adversity. Look at last season. The team that played them the hardest in the playoffs was a Nuggets team with like 5.5 healthy dudes. THAT team pushed OKC to 7 games! This core isn't tested for tough times. Game 1 of the WCF proved it. The Spurs have OKC's number, and they don't know how to respond.

31:07 - Speaking of teams that haven't been tested, the Avs NEED to put pressure on Carter Hart. He hasn't faced a high profile offense like Colorado's in the playoffs. Throw shots on him early and often. See what he's really made of.

5-19-26 Hour 2 - MacKinnon's "Revenge Tour"/No backup center required/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 19 May 2026 16:29:58 +0000

0:00 - Lots of people in the NHL World are saying that Nathan MacKinnon is on some sort of revenge tour right now because of the Olympics loss. His silver medal and that stoat plushie are fueling him on a reign of terror through the NHL playoffs. Brett says that narrative is false. MacKinnon is motivated because he's MacKinnon. If he won a gold medal with Canada, you're saying he'd be less motivated to win Lord Stanley again?

16:02 - The Nuggets are probably going to let Valanciunas go. They STILL need a backup center. Or...do they? If they keep going through backup center candidates year after year and can't find a viable option, maybe that's because they don't need one. Their Jokic-based system doesn't require one.

32:35 - Oh, by the way...Jaxon Smith-Njigba received his Offensive Player of the Year award in the mail, and it was riddled with errors. The NFL doesn't proofread, I guess. Oh, by the way...Seattle is investing MILLIONS of dollars in solar-powered bathrooms around the city for the World Cup. Oh, by the way...Brett got got! Or he almost got got, depending on who you ask.

5-19-26 Hour 1 - Game 7 theatrics, OKC vs Wemby/Golden Knights by the numbers/Sean Payton's media mouthpiece

Tue, 19 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Best two words in sports: Game 7. Buffalo vs Montreal was, as the Scorsese meme goes, Absolute Cinema. Shoutout former Av Alex Newhook for the OT game winner! He's scored 2 Game 7 game-winning goals in the same playoff series.
Speaking of absolute cinema, how about Wemby carving up the Thunder on the road in Game 1 of the WCF? Wemby has been just as good as advertised, if not better. He's only 22 years old. Strap in, y'all. He's gonna be a problem for a LONG time.

16:23 - Let's preview tomorrow's Avs vs Golden Knights WCF Game 1 by the numbers. Moser actually hit the books and did some research!

33:42 - Last week, Colin Cowherd said the NFL intentionally gave the Broncos a ridiculously though schedule in Weeks 1-6 because they don't like Sean Payton. They're trying to stick it to him publicly. We see Colin's mouth moving...but it's Sean Payton's word coming out.
(And for what it's worth, the song I bumped back with is "All Downhill From Here" by New Found Glory)

5-18-26 Hour 3 - The grind of winning a title/TWolves SMACKED AROUND in Game 6/Embarrassing ways to lose

Mon, 18 May 2026 16:24:06 +0000

0:00 - Winning a championship is a GRIND. It may have seemed like the Avs cruised to a Cup in 2022 with their impressive 16-4 record, but don't let that fool you. It was tough as hell. Coach Bednar said so himself. Heck, after the Nuggets won the title, Jokic was relieved more than anything. It's a relief to be done with the long climb.

13:19 - Vic's beautiful baby boy graduated law school this past weekend! They threw a graduation party for him, and at that party, Vic checked something off his bucket list.
After that, the Timberwolves got BOAT RACED by the Spurs in Game 6. Why is that? Brett says Minnesota's not a GOOD team, but they're a TOUGH team. There's a difference.

31:14 - Is giving up a shorthanded goal the most embarrassing thing you can do late in a game? Is there a MORE embarrassing way to lose?

5-18-26 Hour 2 - The NHL World vs Golden Knights/Selling tickets to opposing fans/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 18 May 2026 16:00:02 +0000

0:00 - The Avs are facing the Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final. They won't just have the support of Avs fans. They'll have the support of the entire NHL World. Since Vegas entered the league almost 10 years ago, they've consistently rubbed everyone the wrong way. No one outside the state of Nevada wants to see them succeed ever again.

17:51 - The Cavaliers beat the Pistons in Game 7 to advance to the ECF yesterday. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert bought 1200 tickets and 25 buses to send a bunch of Cavs fans the game in Detriot. If you remember, Steve Ballmer did the same thing to the Nuggets last year! He bought a bunch of tickets and flew Clippers fans to Game 7 in Denver. That feels weird, right? That shouldn't be allowed. But how would you begin to police that?

34:14 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies are struggling again. Big time. But the GOOD news is, they actually have a tradable asset in the bullpen now! Oh, by the way...a high school track & field team was disqualified from winning their 5th-straight state championship because of a "taunting" gesture. Oh, by the way...Ronda Rousey fought Gina Carano this weekend and won in less than 15 seconds. Rousey's decisive victory in her return to fighting seemed almost too good to be true. Internet conspiracies abound!

5-18-26 Hour 1 - Stanley Cup is the hardest to win/Should Jokic be more involved?/Shams spoils MVP party

Mon, 18 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Coach Bednar spoke over the weekend about why the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in all of sports. It takes SO MANY factors to win. Some of them are in your control, and a lot of them aren't. Let's have Vic write down the full list of factors, so we're all on the same page. You ready, Vic?

16:32 - SGA won his 2nd-straight NBA MVP over the weekend and it got Brett thinking...Jokic isn't very involved in Nuggets roster decisions. At least not publicly. Should he be more involved? He's the 3x MVP who's about to sign a super duper max extension. Maybe he SHOULD be more vocal with the front office.

35:34 - The NBA on Amazon Prime broadcast was pefectly primed to announce the NBA MVP in prime time (pardon the puns). Then, Shams tweeted out the announcement at 7:50am MT. Why would he do that? Did he have ulterior motives for spoiling the MVP announcement like 12 hours early?

5-15-26 Hour 3 - The Marc Moser Hat Trick/Golden Knights are playoff tested/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 15 May 2026 16:28:41 +0000

0:00 - Well, we were TRYING to discuss the Broncos schedule, which was released yesterday. But instead, we devolved into something we've now dubbed the Marc Moser Hat Trick.

15:55 - Alright, back to sports! God forbid. This Vegas Golden Knights team is a problem! The Avs will still match up well with them, but VGK is battle tested in the postseason. This franchise has made the playoffs almsot every single season they've existed.

33:14 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

5-15-26 Hour 2 - Moser's Annual Game-By-Game Broncos Prediction/Tougher Opponent: Wild or VKG?/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 15 May 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, all NFL teams released their full schedules, which means...it's time for everyone's annual tradition. Let's have Marc Moser go through the Broncos schedule game by game and make his official predictions! Big time win! Du-uuuuubbbb! Last year, Mose had the Broncos going 11-6 overall, and 3-3 within the division. What's in store for the Broncos this year?

16:22 - Starting on Wednesday, the Avalanche will face the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final. During the 2nd round, everyone said the Wild are probably the toughest opponent the Avs will face in the playoffs. That Avs vs Wild would be the defacto Stanley Cup Final. If that's true, then Vegas has to be an "easier" opponent, right? So, how tough will this series be? How good is this VGK team under Torts?

32:19 - Oh, by the way...The PGA Championship is ROUGH so far. These golfers are getting demolished. Oh, by the way...The LA Chargers had an epic schedule release video again. Man, that social team is consistent. Oh, by the way...you can bring a Ziploc gallon bag full of homemade spaghetti into more than half of MLB stadiums, Coors Field included. Do with this information what you will.

5-15-26 Hour 1 - Avs will face Vegas in WCF/Broncos schedule released/Are new movies lame or is Brett old?

Fri, 15 May 2026 15:55:01 +0000

0:00 - It's official: the Avalanche will face the Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final. How do we like the matchup? Do we want Moser to interview Vegas' stupidly insanely loud in-arena PA announcer? That guy's already on The List, along with Mark Stone's Face and the LTIR.

14:55 - Happy NFL Schedule Release Day! (yesterday) What did we think of the Broncos schedule release video? How about the schedule itself? The first 6 weeks of the season are a friggin GAUNTLET.

30:30 - Brett saw the trailer for the new Will Ferrell Netflix show "Hawk" about a washed up golfer attempting to make a comeback. It got Brett thinking...are new comedies just plain bad these days? Are there not many good movies anymore? Or is Brett just getting old?

5-14-26 Hour 3 - Avs bench reaction to Game 5 OT Winner/Jeff Legwold/Screaming goal call compilation

Thu, 14 May 2026 17:07:42 +0000

0:00 - We love a good bench cam! It captured the pure joy of the Avalanche bench when Brett Kulak scored the OT winner and sent Colorado onto the Western Conference Final. The thrill of victory.

13:09 - Let's take a BRIEF break from Avalanche revelry to get a Broncos/NFL update with our Insider, ESPN's Jeff Legwold. What does Leggy think about the Broncos starting the season on MNF at Kansas City? How about all these international games? How far does Leggy think the NFL wants to expand? Is the values of RBs finally increasing again? Is the Bell Cow Back in vogue again?

32:58 - Ryker was on the call last night with Conor McGahey. And Ryker's screams of pure sports joy reminded us of other famous screams throughout history.

5-14-26 Hour 2 - MacKinnon postgame with TNT crew/Cale concern?, Cup or Bust!/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 14 May 2026 17:00:08 +0000

0:00 - Nathan MacKinnon caught up with the TNT crew after the game and answered the two burning questions on everyone's minds: how's his nose, and why was he swimming in a hotel pool with flippers?

11:49 - Cale Makar got a bit banged up during the game last night, but he returned. But it looked like his arm/shoulder area was still bothering him. In his postgame presser, Coach Bednar said "Cale's is...okay." All the internet detectives are analyzing his tone of voice to try and determine if Cale truly IS okay. I guess we're playing this Zapruder film game again.
Also in his postgame presser, Bedsie was asked about the Cup or Bust expectations with this team. He said it puts a lot of pressure on the team, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

29:58 - Oh, by the way...we already have the NFL Thanksgiving slate. In addition to packed Turkey Day lineup, it looks like the NFL is scheduling games on Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday) AND Black Friday. Oh, by the way...Golfer Garrick Higgo was late to his tee time at the PGA Championship and received a two stroke penalty for it. Amateur hour! Oh, by the way...De’Von Achane just got PAID. Does this start to reset the RB market a bit?

5-14-26 Hour 1 - AVS WIN GAME 5 IN OT/Makar dinged up, Making the goalie swap/Depth win this series

Thu, 14 May 2026 16:49:17 +0000

0:00 - What a comeback for the Avs! They immediately went down 3-0 in the first period, tied it late in the 3rd period with quick back-to-back goals, forced OT, when won it in OT. My goodness. That game was anything but pretty, but all that matters is the final score. Happy Trails, Minnesota Wild! The Western Conference Final awaits.

17:04 - Makar got dinged up in that game, and even though he came back, his arm looked like it was bothering him. Should we be concerned? Coach Bednar was asked about it after the game and gave a short answer.
Also, Blackwood got shelled for 3 early goals. So Bedsie swapped him for Wedgewood and it calmed things down. That pretty much solidifies it. It's Wedgewood's from here on out. We're done with the carousel, right?

33:56 - Colorado's depth is insane. You got goals from Parker Kelly, Jack Drury, and Brett Kulak?? That's ridiculous! After the game, Coach Bednar praised Kulak for his reliability and versatility.

5-13-26 Hour 3 - Keys to the Game...from the Road/Broncos built on D, Stay out of the Box/Overseas procedures

Wed, 13 May 2026 16:30:23 +0000

0:00 - Moser left a little early this morning because he has to GET TO SKATE! But before he left, he didn't give us his Keys. So, let's give him a call and get the Keys to Avs vs Wild Game 5 live from Moser's car en route to Ball Arena! Last game, he went with a Star Trek quote. What will he use today?

14:39 - We already know the Broncos defense is elite, but we have yet another stat to prove it.
After that, the Avs need to STAY OUT OF THE BOX tonight. Cut down on the penalties, boys. But Vic says a few penalties are acceptable, depending on which penalties they are. Not all penalties are created equal.

33:29 - Why do all athletes go to Gemany to get mysterious medical procedures? Turkey is for hair replacement, Germany is for sports medicine I guess? What's in the water over there?

5-13-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Reacting to Coach Bednar's comments/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 13 May 2026 15:57:13 +0000

0:00 - Huge game 5 coming up tonight between the Avs and Wild. Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar joined us this morning to preview the action.
What did Coach think of the Manson - McCarron "butt ending" scuffle? How's Nathan MacKinnon doing after taking a puck in the schnozz last game? Why did Coach start Blackwood in net in Game 4 instead of going back to Wedgewood? Will Coach divulge any injury updates?

16:18 - Nothing Coach said was particularly surprising. He told us all season long that the 2 goalie rotation is the key to success, so why would he change that during the playoffs? And he's stayed true to his word.
What kind of game are we expecting tonight? Another wide-open barn burner like Game 1? Or a tighter, grittier, low-scoring game like a 3-1 slugfest?

32:56 - Oh, by the way...someone did the math of how many miles each NFL team will travel this season. Where do the Broncos stack up? Oh, by the way...a jackwagon tourist in Hawai'i got what was coming to him. A classic case of instant karma. Oh, by the way...the 76ers fired Daryl Morey. I guess we no longer trust the process.

5-13-26 Hour 1 - Can't believe McCarron/Broncos @ Chiefs on MNF, Rox got Skenes'd/MacFarland for GM of the Year

Wed, 13 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Here we are 2 days later, and Brett still can't that Michael McCarron did what he did in Game 4. Hockey is the only sport in the WORLD where the players are not only allowed to police themselves, but it's encourages and ALLOWED. And yet, he spent the whole game flopping and yapping at the refs. That's certianly a choice.

15:58 - The Broncos will start the year by playing the Chiefs on Monday Night Football...on the road...in KC. Is that a disrespectful move? The Broncos were within spitting distance of the Super Bowl, and yet they didn't earn a home game in Week 1? That doesn't feel right.
After that, the Rockies an into an immovable object last night named Paul Skenes. That guy is unbelievable.

33:36 - Chris MacFarland has been nominated for GM of the Year. Well deserved. He absolutely should win. Every single mid-season acquisition the Avs picked us is contributing in the playoffs. And he does this every year. Remember last year when he swapped Mikko for Marty Nachos? How's Nachos been?

5-12-26 Hour 3 - Hockey hits are different, Trust in Blackwood/Good work, Josh Manson/Odds and Ends

Tue, 12 May 2026 16:57:30 +0000

0:00 - Hockey hits are truly different than any other sport. You're not just colliding with other humans. You're getting slammed full force into immovable planks of solid wood, by huge humans moving at high speeds. There's no other sport like it.
Also, we were critical of Jared Bednar yesterday for sticking with MacKenzie Blackwood in net for Game 4. It seemed like a solution in search of a problem. And today, we're here to eat crow. Clearly Bedsie knows that goalie room better than anyone else, and that's all that matters. But now, here's where it gets really interesting...who starts in net tomorrow for Game 5?

17:05 - Josh Manson clearly got in Michael McCarron's head last night. Manson is a pest. He plays right on that line, but he doesn't cross the line. Every team needs a player like that. Josh Manson is doing to the Wild what Jaden McDaniels did to the Nuggets.

32:39 - Some final odds and ends here...The Broncos probably need to a get a restraining order against Von Miller. What happened to Cal Raleigh, who (you could argue) should've won AL MVP over Aaron Judge? Is it okay to send a tweet to the group chat during the waining seconds of a playoff game? LaMelo Ball's partner is named Ana Montana, and they named their son LaOne? Huh?

5-12-26 Hour 2 - Avs take a 3-1 lead home to Denver/Payton gives update on Bo's ankle/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 12 May 2026 16:34:34 +0000

0:00 - Avs beat the Wild Game 4 last night, and take a commanding 3-1 lead as the series heads back to Denver for Game 5. It feels like this series is all but wrapped up. Colorado has all the momentum, and has had it for most of the series. But playoffs are weird, man. The Hockey Gods are cruel. The Avs can't take their foot off the gas pedal. Don't take anything for granted. Take care of business tomorrow night, wrap this thing up, and head to the conference final.

15:41 - Sean Payton addressed the media at Rookie Mini-Camp over the weekend, and gave the media an update on Bo Nix's ankle, second surgery, and recovery timetable. How do we feel about this whole thing? Are we still concerned about that ankle holding up? Or is this just a bunch of overblown unnecessary panicking?

33:45 - Oh, by the way...former Broncos QB Craig Morton passed away over the weekend. His importance to this franchise cannot be understated. RIP one of the Denver greats. Oh, by the way...the Buffalo Bills new stadium looks kinda bland. If you're building a brand new stadium, and least make it look cool and modern. Oh, by the way...we have a new word for Moser to incorporate into a broadcast.

5-12-26 Hour 1 - Avs win Game 4 decisively/"Dirty" Josh Manson/Mack takes puck to the nose, Broncos-Chiefs MNF

Tue, 12 May 2026 16:24:27 +0000

0:00 - ONE. MORE. WIN. That's all the Avs need to punch their ticket to the Western Conference Final. They beat the Wild last night in Game 4 and looked COMPLETELY different from Game 3. Much improved. Way more focused & bought in.

14:48 - Josh Manson got in a scuffle with Michael McCarron last night. He rammed his stick into the side of McCarron's head/neck area. DURING THE GAME, in an intermission interview, McCarron said Manson's a dirty player. Again, he said that DURING THE GAME. That's crazy! He doubled down on the dirtiness in his postgame comments. And honestly. GOOD. You need a pest that gets in your opponent's head.

33:08 - MacKinnon caught a slapshot right in the face. Stopped that puck with his nose. Next period, he was back in the game. Even got the game-sealing empty-net goal. Hockey players are truly built different.
After that, we learned today that the first Monday Night Football game of the season is scheduled for September 14 between...the Broncos and the Chiefs! Hell yeah, brother. What a way to start the season. But, Brett said this is an indication of something larger...

5-11-26 Hour 3 - Keys to Avs vs Wild Game 4/No Mims extension, What's next for AG?/Final Game 4 thoughts

Mon, 11 May 2026 16:38:31 +0000

0:00 - It's a pivotal Game 4 for the Avalanche tonight against the Wild. What are the Keys to an Avalanche victory?

14:56 - Over the weekend, Marvin Mims said that the Broncos haven't started contract negotiations with him yet. He's due for an extension after this season. Why is that?
After that, Aaron Gordon was a big topic of discussion at the Nuggets End of the Season presser. He's a hugely important piece of this team. But the bottom line is he can't stay healthy consistently. So what's next for Mr. Nugget?

36:24 - The fellas make their final predictions for Game 4, and talk about pool flippers a bunch. For some reason.

5-11-26 Hour 2 - Things to Clean Up for Game 4/Nathan MacKinnon FlipperGate 2K26/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 11 May 2026 16:25:05 +0000

0:00 - First of all, Jesper Wallstedt is getting a little too big for his britches as a rookie. Bro, you've played like 40 career NHL games. Settle down.
Second of all, what do the Avs need to clean up for Game 4 tonight?

14:19 - On Friday, video emerged of Nathan MacKinnon swimming laps at the team hotel while wearing flippers? And of course, it went viral and everyone started clowning the Dogg. So...why was the best hockey player on Planet Earth swimming laps with flippers?

31:15 - Oh, by the way...David Njoku signed a 1-year $8 mil contract with the Chargers. Don't like that he landed in the AFC West! Oh, by the way...the UFL is underway! A referee was interviewed on the sideline DURING A GAME about why he didn't call PI on a particular play. His reasoning actually made sense. We should do this during NFL games. Oh, by the way...is there anything better than Canadian NHL refs chirping players?

5-11-26 Hour 1 - Avs fall flat in Game 3/Nuggets End of the Season presser/How will the Avs respond?

Mon, 11 May 2026 16:09:49 +0000

0:00 - Well, it's not gonna be a 2nd round sweep for the Avs. They fell flat in Game 3 and lost to the Wild 5-1. Why did the Avs play so poorly? What was the cause?

14:51 - On Friday, the Nuggets held their End of the Season press conference at Ball Arena. Josh Kroenke, David Adelman, Jon Wallace, and Ben Tenzer all addressed the media. What did they have to say about the disappointing end to Denver's season, and more importantly, what happens next?

32:13 - Where does motivation come from? Does it come from the players or their coach?
After that, the Avs lost Game 3. No need to panic yet! It's playoff hockey. Minnesota is a good team. So, how will the Avs respond tonight? If Minnesota evens the series at 2-2 heading back to Denver, will you be concerned?

5-08-26 Hour 3 - What style will the Wild play?/Nuggets offseason financial woes/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 08 May 2026 16:33:25 +0000

0:00 - Tomorrow's Game 3 is a MUST WIN for the Wild. Because if the Avs take a 3-0 lead, this series is over. No way you win 4 in a row against this Avs squad. That being said, what style of play will the Wild use in Game 3? Will they try a track meet like Game 1? Or will they play a more physical grimy style like Game 2?

13:50 - As the Nuggets offseason looms, they have a dilemma. If they "run it back" with all the same pieces, they'll be decimated by the repeater tax, luxury tax, aprons, all that wonderful stuff. You name it. Now, you can pony up and pay all that stuff and be fine IF and ONLY IF you have a championship roster. For example, OKC can afford to pay all the taxes because they know their roster is elite. Are the Nuggets in the same boat? Because if they need to make changes, they have to offload contract and avoid the taxes.

30:43 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

5-08-26 Hour 2 - Keys to Avs vs Wild Game 3/Moser didn't recognize himself, MPJ's honesty/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 08 May 2026 16:21:48 +0000

0:00 - In case it wasn't obvious from our dynamite singing, the song we were jamming to is "1999" by Prince. Rest assured our dance moves were top tier.
After that, Moser is itching to give you some Keys! So let's not make him wait! What are the Keys to an Avalanche victory in Game 3 vs the Wild tomorrow?

11:29 - Last night in our show group text, Marc Moser didn't recognize a picture..of his own face.
After that, does MPJ chug truth serum every morning after he wakes up? This dude lets the inside thoughts get out way too often. And he said something recently that seems ridiculous at first. But the more we thought about it, Vic thinks MPJ isn't the only NBA player who feels that way.

31:03 - Oh, by the way...Taylor Heinicke is calling it a career. All things considered, he had a pretty solid run. Oh, by the way...The Rockies won last night with a GRAND SLAM BABY! Take that, Mets. No sweep for you! Oh, by the way...a former CU football player just finished his college degree 50 years after being drafted into the NFL.

5-08-26 Hour 1 - How can the Wild win Game 3?/Scotty thinks Brett's stupid/OKC vs Lakers: Battle of the Whistle

Fri, 08 May 2026 15:55:01 +0000

0:00 - Imagine we're hosts of sports radio in Minneapolis/St. Paul this morning...what are we saying to the Wild fans? How are we convincing the fanbase that the Wild can win Game 3 tomorrow?

15:17 - Yesterday on PHD, Scott Hastings disagreed with one of Brett's Nuggets takes. Today, Brett offered up his rebuttal.

32:27 - The Lakers vs OKC. It's like Voldemort vs Thanos. How do you pick a side? There's one benefit to this series. Since the Lakers are playing, the entire national media is watching every minute of every game. And because of that, OKC's flopping and foul-baiting is under a massive microscope. The whole sporting world is finally waking up to OKC's whistle grifting.
It's CRAZY that the Thunder are actually making us feel sorry for the Lakers. Genuinely! That's how bad their flopping is.

5-07-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Pick an Avs concern/Broncos sign Justin Joly & Miles Scott

Thu, 07 May 2026 16:44:25 +0000

0:00 - Why are the Broncos bringing in Nathan Peterman for a tryout? Anything we should expect from Rookie minicamp? Where have the Broncos made the biggest upgrades to their roster so far? Jeff Legwold of ESPN can answer any/every Broncos question we might have.

14:32 - What's your biggest concern with the Avs right now? You HAVE to pick one. And you can't say injuries or staying healthy. That goes without saying.

33:09 - The Broncos have signed draft picks TE Justin Joly & S Miles Scott to contracts. Joly is interesting...how will they used him based on his body type? Can he finally be the...sigh...god dang Joker than Sean Payton wants?

5-07-26 Hour 2 - Avs are wearing down Quinn Hughes/Looking ahead to Round 2?/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 07 May 2026 16:30:53 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche have identified Quinn Hughes as the head of the snake. They need to play extra physical with him and wear him down. It's all part of Colorado's game plan: play fast, physical, and beat up Minnesota.

15:10 - Brett watched Ducks vs Golden Knights Game 2 and had one thing in mind...which team would you rather face in the next round? Vic and Moser didn't take too kindly to that. We're already assuming the Avs have won Round 2 and looking ahead? That's bad juju. You're disrespecting a formidable opponent in the Wild.

34:50 - Oh, by the way...The Broncos have invited QB Nathan Peterman to their rookie minicamp for a tryout. Remember him? He threw 5 INTs in one half for the Buffalo Bills, and Jon Gruden berated him for an entire season of Hard Knocks with the Raiders.
Oh, by the way...Bo Nix posted a video of himself running, and all the internet sleuths have pounced on it. Where was it taken? When was it taken? What's the timeline?! How's his ankle? Everyone chill, dude.
Oh, by the way...Brock Nelson is a finalist for the Selke Trophy.

5-07-26 Hour 1 - Biggest Avs concern?/Time remaining in Nuggets window?/Sick of Russini & Vrabel, Rox bad again

Thu, 07 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - STRAW POLL: What's your biggest concern with the Avs right now. And you can't say health/injuries. That's a given. Aside from that. And yes, you have to pick a concern. That's how the game works.

16:19 - Draymond Green tried to roast Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA last night, and the joke fell flat. You're not Shaq, Draymond. You can't make those same jokes. Draymond might be the least self aware athlete in the sporting world right now.
But Draymond's comments about the current state of the Warriors raised a bigger question: how much time is left in the Nuggets championship window? Which moves can they make in the offseason to extend the window?

32:41 - More details about the Dianna Russini & Mike Vrabel scandal emerged yesterday. TMZ dropped another bomb. And honestly...ENOUGH already. We're sick of hearing about this damn story. It just won't die!
Also, breaking news: the Rockies are bad again. They've lost 6-straight, and they're on the verge of getting swept by the Mets. The lowly Mets. Today, they need to steal 1 win and get off the schneid.

5-06-26 Hour 3 - Avs feel like the 2022 Cup Team/Colorado's depth is unmatched/What should Moser do??

Wed, 06 May 2026 16:48:56 +0000

0:00 - This current iteration of the Colorado Avalanche TRULY feels like the 2022 Cup Team. We said it occasionally throughout the regular season. But after 6 playoff games, we mean it. We know it. This team has the juice to go all the way. They just look and feel different.

14:38 - The Avs' depth is insane. They're getting contributions from all 4 lines every single night. That's what championship rosters do.

34:09 - Moser's flying to St. Paul with the Altitude TV squad to cover Games 3 and 4. But...why? What's the point of Moser going there? Aside from accosting sweet old ladies, what should Moser do in Minnesota?

5-06-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Avalanche too overconfident?/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 06 May 2026 16:33:36 +0000

0:00 - The Colorado Avalanche are 6-0 in the playoffs so far! 4 wins against the LA Kings, 2 wins against the Minnesota Wild (and counting). How's Coach Bednar feeling about his squad? What improvements did they make between Games 1 and 2 vs the Wild? It feels like the entire roster is stepping up, but in particular, who are the biggest difference-makers in these playoffs?

19:33 - A texter asked us if we think the Avalanche are too overconfident. In 2021, they won the Presidents' Trophy and they were feeling themselves. Then they got bounced in the 2nd round by Vegas. This team feels very different from that 2021 squad. Why? Why shouldn't we be worried about overconfidence?

33:04 - Oh, by the way...RIP Ted Turner. He truly changed the television and broadcasting world forever. Oh, by the way...a school director in Arkansas was running a child fight club. HUH? Oh, by the way...Bryson DeChambeau said that, instead of trying to rejoin the PGA, he'll most likely work on growing his YouTube channel. Then, he'll join whatever tournaments want him. Really? Is that better than sucking it up, paying a fine, and getting back into the PGA?

5-06-26 Hour 1 - Avs Win Game 2/Moser's exchange with an old lady/Playoff slogan, Hate-watching OKC-Lakers

Wed, 06 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The Avs ONLY scored 5 goals last night?? Wow, what a snoozefest. The Avalanche won Game 2 vs the Wild last night, and they'll take a 2-0 series lead back to Minnesota. That was AWESOME. That Avalanche team looks legit. They genuinely haven't looked this good since 2022.

16:06 - Moser drew the short straw last night. So Altitude TV stuck him outside in the snow to do live hits in front of Ball Arena. A sweet old lady walked by him, and Moser chose and interesting phrase to say to her.

34:15 - Thanks to Moser, we have a new playoff slogan for the Avalanche!
After that, Brett also hate-watched Lakers vs Thunder Game 1 last night. Don't you...kinda, sorta, maybe wanna root for the Lakers? Just a little bit? Because the Evil Empire of the Foul-Baiting Thunder can't cruise to the finals. Someone HAS to put up a fight right? SGA can't flop his way through everyone!

5-05-26 Hour 3 - The Avs are adaptable/Nugs lack accountability, NBA players underpaid?/Keys to Game 2

Tue, 05 May 2026 16:29:47 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche are ADAPTABLE. They can play any style of hockey game. You want a 2-1 low-scoring grind-it-out type of game? You got it. Want a 9-6 barnburner? You got it. Whatever style it is, they'll play it. Which type of game will we see tonight?

13:05 - Boogie Cousins said the Nuggets lack accountability. When he was here under Coach Malone, he saw an accountability that has disappeared from the team. Where does that need to come from?
In a recent interview, Steph Curry said NBA players are underpaid for one specific reason. And his logic opens up a whole new can of worms.

30:59 - Avs vs Wild Round 2 Game 2 tonight! What are the keys to an Avalanche victory?

5-05-26 Hour 2 - Jon Cooper is back at it again/Braun takes the blame, Nugs roster tinkering/Oh, by the Way...

Tue, 05 May 2026 16:09:54 +0000

0:00 - Our old friend Jon Cooper is back at it again! He had another classic huffy whiny quote in his postgame press conference after the Lightning got bounced in Game 7. Back with a vintage banger! It's like 2022 all over again.

15:54 - According to Bennett Durando, Christian Braun is shouldering a good portion of the blame for the Nuggets first round exit. He said he's the vocal leader of the team, he didn't play well enough, and didn't have the team prepared well enough. Is that true? Is that his role on the team?
And looking at the 1000 ft view, what needs to happen with this roster? Should you keep Aaron Gordon and roll the injury dice again? How about hanging onto Peyton Watson? To keep him, you'll have to offload other pieces.

31:18 - Oh, by the way...we had fans at Coors Field with paper bags on their heads...BUT NOT ROCKIES FANS! The Mets fans traveled with the brown bags. Hallelujah! Oh, by the way...the Philadephia Eagles signed Big Dom to a contract extension. What's the deal with this guy? Fuggedaboudit. Oh, by the way...would you take $50,000 to watch every second of every World Cup game this summer? If so, there's a job opportunity waiting for you.

5-05-26 Hour 1 - Avs vs Wild Game 2 preview/CB was playing hurt/Awkward media exchange in Toronto

Tue, 05 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - 0:00 - The Avs and Wild will face off tonight in Round 2, Game 2. It PROBABLY won't look like game 1. Don't bet on a 9-goal explosion from the Avs. So, what WILL the game look like?

16:16 - Bennett Durando of the Denver Post said that Christian Braun tweaked his calf during the playoffs. He was dealing with that injury on top of lingering ankle issues. So, that begs the question again...WHY did the Nuggets spend the offseason acquiring depth then NOT USE THAT DEPTH?? What was the point of trading MPJ???

32:53 - The Toronto Maple Leafs announced the hiring of their new GM yesterday. A reporter didn't like the hiring and wasted no time in making his feelings known at the presser.

5-04-26 Hour 3 - Game 1 was a Clash of the Titans/Fixing the Nuggets/Moser was dialed in to the Derby

Mon, 04 May 2026 16:28:59 +0000

0:00 - After one game, it's obvious that the Minnesota Wild are a different beast than the LA Kings were. Round 2 will be vastly different from Round 1. Why is that? What makes the Wild so dangerous?

14:02 - First of all, the Nuggets are NOT going to fire Head Coach David Adelman, according to multiple sources. They're keeping him in the driver's seat for another season. And yet, it feels like the whole fanbase wants him gone. Do we like this decision by the Nuggets? Can Adelman right the ship in Year 2?
Second of all, the Nuggets literally cannot afford to "run it back." Changes need to be made do this roster. How drastic do those changes need to be? Which players are movable?

31:40 - This should come as a shock to no one, but Marc Moser was LOCKED IN to the Kentucky Derby this weekend. BIG Derby Guy over here. Did you watch the Derby? Are you just as obsessed with Secretariat as Moser is?

5-04-26 Hour 2 - Making sense of the Avs win/What was our favorite goal?/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 04 May 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - What did Jared Bednar have to say after last night's barnburner between the Avs and Wild? How much of it was on his goalie? How much of it was on his defense?

15:17 - Moser broke one of his flip-flops right at the start of the show. So he went out to his truck, and had a spare pair of flip flops ready to roll. That's crazy, right? Who else has spare flip flops on hand?
After that, the Avalanche scored 9 GOALS in Game 1 last night. Which one was your favorite?

34:01 - Oh, by the way...rest in peace the great John Sterling. His iconic calls will live on forever. YANKEES WIN! THAAAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN! Oh, by the way...Cam Young tried to add a stroke to his game that the judges missed. That's wild! Who else would do that? Oh, by the way...the Celtics got bounced in the first round by the 76ers. After the game, Jaylen Brown complained about Joel Embiid flopping. Then he went on a livestream and kept complaining about flopping. Come on, man. Just take the L.

5-04-26 Hour 1 - AVS EXPLODE FOR 9 GOALS/John-Michael Liles joins the show/Nugs bringing back Adelman?

Mon, 04 May 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - 15 goals in one game. Ah yes, business as usual for a standard NHL game.
Your Avalanche started Round 2 with a BANG and dropped 9 goals on Minnesota's noggin in Game 1. But they also gave up 6 goals. How do we make sense of this crazy game? How do we weigh the good with the bad?

15:50 - John-Michael Liles hopped on the show this morning to help us break down last night's goal-scoring bonanza at Ball Arena. What did JML think of all the back-and-forth action between the Avs and Wild?

35:52 - According to both Bennett Durando and Shams, the Nuggets have no plans to move on from David Adelman. Is this a good move, or rather, lack of a move?

5-01-26 Hour 3 - Where was Denver's FIRE??/It's up the the Avs now/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 01 May 2026 16:46:28 +0000

0:00 - Where was this team's FIGHT? Where was their MOTIVATION?? You couldn't rally to beat an injured, depleted Wolves team in an elimination game? What about all the times you got punked by Lu Dort this year? Clowned by Jaden McDaniels this series? No one stood up for this team when it mattered most. Say what you will about guys like Russell Westbrook and Paul Millsap. They didn't take crap from anyone.

14:46 - The Nuggets season is mercifully over. And now their watch is ended. Avalanche...it's up to you now. Please please PLEASE beat the Minnesota Wild and pull Denver sports out of the pit of misery. Plus, we CANNOT afford to lose to a second Minnesota team in a row. Do your thing, Colorado Wagon!

32:27 - We need it today more than most days. It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.
Today's edition includes: Nuggets need to skratoninerre, that Japanese stroke, FnX? FnY?, put electrodes on your thing, and prebusecent.

5-01-26 Hour 2 - Vic's Nuggets Roster Autopsy/Kevin Falness of Wild Radio/Oh, By the Way, Aaron Gordon & P-Wat

Fri, 01 May 2026 16:35:41 +0000

0:00 - There's no tweaking here. We're beyond tweaking the Nuggets roster. Large moves need to be made. In Vic's humble opinion, you have to trade a core member of the team. So...who's tradable? Is anyone not named Nikola Jokic untouchable?

14:11 - Hey, the Avs finally have a second round opponent! They'll face the Minnesota Wild starting soon. Yay! We need more beef with the state of Minnesota. So we chatted with the Berto of the Minnesota Wild broadcast, Kevin Falness (pregame, intermission, postgame host) who actually used to live/work in Denver ages ago and was roommates with Moser and Berto. Boy, to be a fly on the wall in that house...

31:24 - Oh, by the way...it doesn't really feel right to do this segment today. One of our texters said this whole series came down to Peyton Watson and Aaron Gordon. If we had them both healthy, the Nuggets are moving on to the 2nd round. Is that true? Do we buy that?

5-01-26 Hour 1 - Nugs choke in Game 6 & get bounced in Round 1/Worst Case Scenario/Chris Finch's fake motivation

Fri, 01 May 2026 16:25:35 +0000

0:00 - Well, that's a wrap. It's another early exit for the Nuggets. This year, it was an even earlier exit than last year! So, now that the whole season is in the books, let's do an autopsy all morning long. What the hell happened??

17:38 - This is the actual worst case scenario for the Nuggets. You made all these moves in the offseason to build what we ALL SAID was the best roster in franchise history (on paper). And it was WORST THAN LAST YEAR. So now, you have to make moves. You can't run it back. But what moves can you make? How far do you want to go while you're still in the Jokic Window?

33:38 - Chris Finch fabricated a fake narrative that isn't there in order to rally his team. And guess what? Fake or not, it worked. As a coach, you need to find motivation and a rallying cry anywhere you can. And he found it.

4-30-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Keys to Nugs vs Wolves Game 6/Final Game 6 predictions

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:04:10 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Vic made a guest appearance on PHD and went on a rant about how miserable and stuck up most sportswriters are. Today, we had our very own miserable sportswriter Jeff Legwold on the show. What did Leggy think about Vic's tirade? Does Leggy have any updates on Bo Nix AnkleGate 2K26 2.0?

18:10 - It's do or die. Win or go home. What are the keys to a Game 6 victory for the Nuggets tonight?
Also, what do the Nuggets do with AG? Should he play if he isn't healthy? If he does play, how do you shuffle the rotation? Should AG be a starter, or should he come off the bench?

30:42 - Alright, time to stop playing around. What are everyone's final score predictions for Game 6 tonight? Also, Moser's daughter tuned into the show. She confirmed that Moser's feet are terrible. Should Moser even consider getting a pedicure to clean them up? Or is it a crime against humanity to subject someone to those rancid little piggies?

4-30-26 Hour 2 -Adelman won't "crush" guys after loss/Rox good again?, AnkleGate 2.0/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:47:10 +0000

0:00 - David Adelman said he doesn't want to "crush" his guys after losses, even thought that's what the media/fans want him to do. We don't need him to go full Bobby Knight on his locker. But hold your guys accountable! Get them fired up! Let's go! What's wrong with tough love if you guys are receptive to it?

14:02 - Are the...Rox good again? You know who's definitely good? Sugano. Man, he's been wheelin' and dealin' all season long. Now that we've had a day or so to process Bo Nix AnkleGate 2.0, do we feel any different? All the internet "medical professionals" were offering their analysis of it all on Twitter last night, so make of that what you will.

32:45 - Oh, by the way...Marc Rycroft was in an episode of Breaking Bad! Seriously! Oh, by the way...The Saudis are pulling all their funding from the LIV Tour. Should the PGA let all those golfers back with open arms? Or should they make them work their way back? Oh, by the way...Erik Johnson was double-fisting cowboy boot margaritas on the ESPN broadcast at the Dallas Stars arena before Game 1. And honestly? It looked awesome.

4-30-26 Hour 1 - Nugs CANNOT lose tonight/The Avs Path of Least Resistance/Avs awards snubbs

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets CANNOT lose Game 6 tonight in Minnesota. The Timberwolves injuries are piling up. AND if you win Game 6 and bring a Game 7 home to Denver, it's over. Denver's moving on. Just bring it on home, baby. Take care of business tonight and let's roll.

15:21 - Do you want the Avs to face the Stars in the next round? Do you want them to face their fears and conquer the demons from Dallas? Or would you rather see them face the Wild? Brett prefers the path of least resistance to a championship. It doesn't matter how you get to the mountaintop as long as you get there.

33:05 - Jared Bednar isn't getting any love for the Jack Adams Award. Wedgewood isn't a finalist for the Vezina. What is it with the Avs constantly getting snubbed for these season awards??

4-29-26 Hour 3 - Wild vs Stars, What's next for Rockets?/FAMILY FEUD/Stephen A defends Jokic

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 16:34:29 +0000

0:00 - LET. THEM. FIGHT. It sucks, but we all have to root for the Dallas Stars tomorrow. This series has to go 7 games! Whoever survives, we want them as tired, depleted, and beat-up as possible.
After that, the Rockets are in a 3-1 hole to the Lakers right now. They've suffered a few injuries this year, but even still, it's another failed KD experiment for another team. What's next for Houston and KD?

12:58 - No Nuggets game to preview tonight...no Avalanche game tonight (obviously)...which means...IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE FEUD!

29:24 - Did Stephen A...actually defend Nikola Jokic on First Take?? Did he actually stand up for Jokic as Kendrick Perkins was ripping him?? Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

4-29-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Justin Simmons retires as a Bronco, Von Miller the GM/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 16:13:46 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche haven't played a game since Sunday and still don't have a second round opponent yet. What's Head Coach Jared Bednar been up to in his time off? Is he worried about the whole "Rust vs Rest" debate? How's Josh Manson healing up? What are the takeaways from the series vs LA that they can take into the next round?

18:45 - Justin Simmons announced his retirement from football today, and he signed a one-day contract so he can retire as a member of the Denver Broncos. That's awesome. Welcome back to Denver, Justin. We missed you. Congrats on a fantastic career in Orange and Blue.
Speaking of former Broncos...Luca "My Name is Luca" Evans published an article in the Denver Post yesterday where he sat down with Von Miller and asked him what his future holds. Von said he'd love to return to Denver. Not as a player, but as a member of the front office. Someday, Von hopes to be an NFL GM. Is that a good idea? Would you like to see Von somewhere in the Broncos front office?

33:05 - Oh, by the way...Shelby Harris just signed a deal with the NY Football Giants. Congrats to the former Bronco! He keeps finding new spots. Oh, by the way...the NCAA men's basketball tournament is expanding to 76 teams effective next season. Official announcement coming soon. Oh, by the way...a man ran the London Marathon while dressed in a Thomas the Tank Engine costume and set a Guiness World Record in the process.

4-29-26 Hour 1 - Hate-watching Stars vs Wild/Game 6 preview, NBA anti-tanking rules/Bo Nix ankle clean-up

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Did you hate-watch Minnesota vs Dallas last night? We certainly did. We had nothing else to do. Let them fight! This series had better go 7!

16:28 - Now that the smoke has cleared and the State of Minnesota is no longer out for Vic's head, let's take a look at Game 6. Will the rabid home crowd help give the Timberwolves the boost they need to rattle off a win with the depleted roster?
Also, the NBA is finally narrowing down a new plan to curb tanking. And stop me if you've heard this before...Brett STILL doesn't think it'll ACTUALLY fix tanking.

34:49 - Broncos news broke yesterday. From Ian Rapoport: Bo Nix had a "follow-up cleanup procedure" on his fractured ankle. He should be back in time for training camp, but don't be surprised if they take it easy with him in the spring, according to Rapoport. Supposedly, this is all pretty standard. But at which point do we start to worry about ankle issues? Especially for such a mobile QB.

4-28-26 Hour 3 - Nugs played with physicality/No room for Nugs error/What are you watching tonight?

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 17:03:28 +0000

0:00 - Last night, the Nuggets played with physicality! They were enforcers! That's what we've wanted to see all series long, heck, all season long! Valanciunas spoke about it in his postgame comments. Being physical was part of the game plan.

14:55 - The Timberwolves will be without Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo for the rest of the series. But make no mistake: the Nuggets are missing their 2 best defenders. It'll be easier for them to win, but it won't be a cakewalk. They still have VERY little room for error in Game 6.

32:22 - The Nuggets are off tonight. The Avalanche won't play another game for like a week? Two weeks? Three weeks? Who knows!? So what are you watching tonight?

4-28-26 Hour 2 - Favorite play from Nuggets win/Biggest post-draft Broncos questions/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:46:26 +0000

0:00 - What was your favorite play or moment from Denver's Game 5 win over the Timberwolves last night? There were lots of options to choose from, thankfully.

14:51 - What are the biggest post-NFL draft questions for the Denver Broncos according to Jeff Legwold? What needs to they still need to fill?

31:54 - Oh, by the way...only 71 players have declared for the NBA Draft so far. That's WAY down from even 5 years ago. Why is that? Oh, by the way...Garet Bolles helped a stranger change their tire on the side of the road. Oh, by the way...Younghoe Koo's bonkers whiffed kick from this past season actually saved a man's life.

4-28-26 Hour 1 - Nugs win Game 5 & survive/Vic responds to the State of Minnesota/Around the NHL & NBA playoffs

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:41:13 +0000

0:00 - What do we say to the God of Death? Not today! The Nuggets won game 5 and stayed alive in the series vs Minnesota! They finally played with physicality and didn't let Jaden McDaniels do what Jaden McDaniels does.

15:01 - Yesterday, the entire state of Minnesota wanted Vic's head on a stake (think Lord of the Flies) for saying that the Nuggets needed to intentionally injure Jaden McDaniels to send a message. Here's the thing...Vic never said that. At all. Not even close. He only asked for "repercussions" to Jaden McDaniels' tomfoolery. Today, Vic responded to the angry residents of the Twin Cities (and beyond).

31:55 - Have you been following the NHL and NBA playoffs much? Outside of the Nuggets and Avs, which playoff series have you been following?

4-27-26 Hour 3 - Fixing the Nuggets offense/What's up with Joker?/Keys to Game 5, Sub 2 hour Marathon

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:02:36 +0000

0:00 - How do the Nuggets fix their offense, and fix it ASAFP?

14:20 - Joker doesn't look like himself out there. Something is off with him. Heck, something is off with the entire team.

31:08 - It's win or go home for the Nuggets! What are the keys to a game 5 victory? Also, two people ran the London Marathon in less than 2 hours this weekend. That's unreal. If we took all 4 of us on this show and did relay race, could we combine for 1 sub-5 minute mile?

4-27-26 Hour 2 - Broncos Draft takeaways/Stand up to Jaden McDaniels!!/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:46:45 +0000

0:00 - The NFL Draft is in the books! Do we like the Broncos picks? How did the Law Firm of Payton and Paton do this year?

14:10 - Jaden McDaniels has been punking the Nuggets since 2024, and they keep letting him get away with it! We're not mad at McDaniels for breaking an unwritten rule...we're mad at the Nuggets for letting him do it AGAIN! That has to end tonight. Period. Someone needs to stand up to him.

32:06 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies SWEPT THE METS! On the road! How do you like them (Big) apples? Oh, by the way...Diego Pavia didn't get drafted this weekend. From Heisman finalist to undrafted. Yikes. Oh, by the way...Canadiens Head Coach Martin St. Louis handles the stress of the playoffs by watching Seinfeld.

4-27-26 Hour 1 - Nugs in a 3-1 hole vs TWolves/Nugs punked by McDaniels AGAIN/Avs complete the sweep

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:39:48 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets lost Game 4 to the Timberwolves, and they've been pushed to the brink of elimination. Minnesota lost 2 of their best players in that game, and the Nuggets still couldn't rally for a win. That was a tough look on Saturday night. Where's the fire? Where's the competitive spirit?

14:29 - As if Denver's loss wasn't bad enough, Jaden McDaniels punked them AGAIN. At least Jokic got in his face about it this time.

33:04 - The Kings played the Avalanche in the first round and it was a waste of 8 days. Darryl Sutter's quote still rings true 4 years later. Congrats to the Avs for taking care of business. After the game yesterday, Kings Interim Head Coach DJ Smith was very complimentary of the Avs.

4-24-26 Hour 3 - Expectations for Avs vs Kings Game 4/What motivates the Nugs?/DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:43:37 +0000

0:00 - The Avs won in LA last night and they now lead the series 3-0. Josh Manson left with an apparent injury, but aside from that, it was an awesome night all around. What can we expect in Game 4? LA knows the series is all but done. Are they gonna go down swinging and try to beat the heck out of the Avs? Especially since it could be Kopitar's last-ever game in a Kings sweater.

14:10 - In his postgame presser yesterday, our old friend Jaden McDaniels said just seeing the Nuggets motivates them. They see the name on the front of the jersey and they want to beat those guys. What motivates the Nuggets?

31:40 - Man, do we need it today. It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

4-24-26 Hour 2 - Nugs fell flat, Avs did their job/NFL Draft surprise, It's on the PLAYERS/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:33:47 +0000

0:00 - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. We're all trying to work through the pain of last night's Nuggets loss together. We're shocked. Flabbergasted. Embarrassed. Dejected. Angry. All of that this morning.
On the other hand, way to go Avs! They're one win away from sweeping the LA kings out of the playoffs. This series is all but done. It's all hands on deck. Every night, they're getting contributions from someone new.

13:38 - The LA Rams made an interesting pick in the first round of the NFL Draft yesterday, and Sean McVay himself seemed a bit perplexed.
After that, whose job is it to motivate the Nuggets? Is it on Coach Adelman? Or is it on the players themselves? For Vic, it's not even a question which one is more important.

32:07 - Oh, by the way...the Eagles swooped in and drafted a player from the Steelers while he was ON THE PHONE with the Steelers GM! Oh, by the way...a Braves pitcher made him MLB debut yesterday and his very first pitch went oppo taco for a home run. That's not right, man. You first career PITCH can go for a home run. Oh, by the way...the Philadelphia Flyers are offering an alternative to the 9-9-9 challenge.

4-24-26 Hour 1 - Avs take a 3-0 series lead/Pathetic, embarrassing Nuggets loss/Finding more motivation?

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:22:49 +0000

0:00 - Last night was a mixed bag, to put it lightly. Let's start with the good. Way to go AVS! The Colorado Wagon ROLLED over the Kings last night, and they're up 3-0 in the series. This thing is over. Just take care of business, complete the sweep, then rest up for the next round.

16:04 - That was a pathetic effort from the Nuggets last night. Your opponent called you SOFT and NAMED NAMES! And you rolled over and died. You couldn't answer the bell. So much for "bulletin board material." That was embarrassing. We can't make heads or tails of this loss. We're flabbergasted. Do you want to win or not?

33:29 - How will the Nuggets find motivation to WIN in this damn series if they haven't already? What more do you need?? Does it come from the coach? The players themselves? How do they refocus and start doing things the right way?

4-23-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Keys to Avs & Nugs Game 3s/Time zones are weird, final Game 3 predictions

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 16:27:16 +0000

0:00 - Our ESPN Broncos/NFL Insider Jeff Legwold has FINALLY published his list of the Top 100 Players in the NFL Draft! Hallelujah! In honor of the draft kicking off tonight, let's break down some of his rankings. And AGAIN, it's important to note - these aren't where he thinks the players will be drafted. This ranking is based purely on skill and talent (for example, Fernando Mendoza is #7 on Leggy's list, but he's obviously going to go #1 overall to the Raiders).

20:56 - It's a Playoff Double Diparoo for the Avalanche and Nuggets! What are the keys to a double WIN-a-roo.

32:40 - Time Zones in the US are silly and arbitrary. Once that's out of our system, we have one final chance to preview these dual Game 3s tonight and calm our nerves...or not.

4-23-26 Hour 2 - Answer the McDaniels bell/Existential Nuggets dread/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 16:05:02 +0000

0:00 - Jaden McDaniels called out the Nuggets and their lack of defense. He named names! It's still hard to believe he did that. The Nuggets HAVE to answer the bell tonight. If they lose tonight, that's a wrap on the series. Prove your mental toughness. Take care of business.
After that, the Rockies won last night! They're up to 10 wins already! Let's give Brett a couple minutes for some Rox positivity.

14:51 - Vic is having trouble focusing on the Avs vs Kings series. Because in his mind, it's already over. There's no way LA wins this series. Plus, we're so caught up in the Nuggets vs Timberwolves series. What happens if Denver loses tonight? What happens if they, god forbid, lose this series? Where do we go from there?

32:26 - Oh, by the way...A Mariners pitcher caught a line drive inside his jersey. And the batter was awarded a base hit. I'm sorry, I thought this was America! That should be a hit. Oh, by the way...get ready to buy a 2nd or 3rd TV in order to watch all the different playoff games across various streaming apps. Oh, by the way...the Cleveland Cavaliers have introduced the most unhinged form of in-arena entertainment we've seen in a long time.

4-23-26 Hour 1 - Nugs respond to McDaniels/Avs can still improve, Draft wishlist/Booker calls out refs

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:55:01 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday at shootaround, all the Nuggets were asked about Jaden McDaniels' fiery postgame comments about their defense (or the lack thereof). David Adelman had the only response that we liked. Everyone else was a bit too laissez faire for Brett's taste. The Nuggets should be fired up right now. It should be fuel. It should be bulletin board material. It should rally them to win. If it isn't...get ready for Cancun.

14:28 - The Colorado Wagon has rolled to a 2-0 series lead over the LA Kings, but there's still room for improvement. Jared Bednar said as much on our show yesterday.
After that, believe it or not, there's an NFL Draft tonight! Let's go back to Aqib Talib's comment that the Broncos might make a move on draft night. If that's the case, how would it shake out? It probably would happen tomorrow night, right? Which position will they target? It's gotta be a tight end, right?

33:13 - The Phoenix Suns lost to OKC last night, and they're down 0-2 in the series. After the game, Devin Booker was incensed with the poor officiating that (stop me if you've heard this before) favored OKC. He even name checked a specific ref who was particularly bad. Which are you more sick of: OKC always getting a favorable whistle, or people complaining about OKC getting a favorable whistle?

4-22-26 Hour 3 - Jared Bednar/TJ Ward/Most shocking thing from yesterday?

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:56:21 +0000

0:00 - Long time no talk! Jared Bednar joined the show again this morning. How's Bedsie feeling after last night's win? Will he continue to roll with the red-hot Wedgewood in net, or will he start to rotate goalies? How did he pass the time during the 20-minute glass break delay?

19:17 - No Fly Zone alum and Champion of Super Bowl 50 T.J. Ward joined the show today! He's headed to Pittsburgh to announce the Broncos 2nd round draft pick on Friday. Does he have any Broncos/draft scoops like his former teammate Aqib Talib? What does he think of this current iteration of the Broncos that features another iron-clad defense, much like the one he was a part of?

37:50 - Yesterday was bonkers, across the board. Both the NBA and NHL playoffs were pure cinema. What was the most shocking part of it all?

4-22-26 Hour 2 - LA's gritty style of play/Did your confidence waver?, Broken glass delay/Oh, by the way...

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 16:46:29 +0000

0:00 - The LA Kings have played the Avs super physical in Games 1 and 2. They lay huge hits. They dust it up after the whistle. They throw dudes in front of the net and see what happens. And even though they're down 0-2, it's working! They're slowing down the high-flying Avs. Will other teams be able to copy that formula deeper into the playoffs?

13:11 - At any point last night, did your confidence in the Avs waver? Did you think the hockey gods/puck luck might bounce against you?
Also, there's never a good time for the rinkside glass to shatter. But man, the Avs had all the momentum when some fans SHATTERED a pane of glass all over the LA Kings bench. That 20(ish) min stoppage to replace the glass and clean everything up really killed Colorado's mounting momentum.

30:32 - Oh, by the way...Mike Vrabel finally addressed the Russini scandal yesterday, but he didn't really say anything at all. Shocker. Oh, by the way...even in their losses, the Colorado Rockies are still making incremental progress. The arrow is continually, yet gradually, shifting upwards, and that's all you can ask for at this point. Oh, by the way...an NFL draft pick has an opporunity to win a lifetime supply of Heinz Ketchup on Friday.

4-22-26 Hour 1 - Last night's Avs game had EVERYTHING/A 20-min broken glass delay/Crazy NBA playoffs

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Remember Stefon from SNL? Bill Hader's Weekend Update character? Well, last night's Avs game had everything: fights, weird penalties, broken glass, crazy saves, bad officiating, you name it. Whatever you wanted, you got it. In the end, the Avs won Game 2 to take a 2-0 series lead over LA. That's all that matters.

15:31 - Boy, Scott Wedgewood is playing his BUTT off. He's a brick wall in net. Should Bednar still consider rotating goalies? Or ride the hot hand?
Also, some rambunction Avs fans shattered and I mean SHATTERED the glass behind the LA Kings bench last night. It took the Ball Arena crew about 20 minutes to clean up the glass and put in a new pane. Crazy stuff. We've seen a puck shatter the glass. We've seen players collide against the glass and shatter it. But fans? That's gotta be a new one.

32:11 - As crazy as the NHL playoffs have been, how about the NBA playoffs? The injured Lakers won AGAIN and took a 2-0 series lead over the Rockets! Wemby fell hard and slammed his head into the court. He's obviously concussed. How long will he have to recover before rejoining the Spurs?

4-21-26 Hour 3 - The Nugs can't handle success/The Man in the Suits: Daryl Evans/Use McDaniels as fuel

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:11:28 +0000

0:00 - Anytime the Nuggets are having success, they blow it. They have to be down 25 on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back with all of their starters hurt for them to play hard and seal a win. What will it take for this team to establish a lead AND HOLD ONTO IT??

12:25 - Vic mentioned that he saw a man walking around Ball Arena in an impeccable suit on Sunday. That man in none other than Daryl Evans, LA Kings radio color commentator. He also scored one of the most iconic goals in LA Kings history in the "Miracle on Manchester" game. Daryl hopped on the show to give us the LA perspective on this series...and his elite wardrobe.

31:39 - After Nuggets-TWolves Game 2 last night, Jaden McDaniels said a bunch of Nuggets players can't play defense. And he named names! That's CRAZY. The series isn't over yet! It's tied 1-1. That's the type of stuff you usually say when the series is over. If you're the Nuggets, use that as fuel. He says you can't play defense, huh? Prove him wrong on Thursday.

4-21-26 Hour 2 - Avs vs Kings Game 2 preview/A swift Nuggets collapse in Game 2/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:03:05 +0000

0:00 - Avs vs Kings Game 2 tonight! Should Coach Bednar roll with Scott Wedgewood in net again? Or should he switch it up and use Blackwood?

16:10 - The Nuggets had a 19-point lead last night. Like 6 minutes later, Minnesota had the lead. That's an unbelievable collapse. What happened?? Vic said is all comes down to defense, or the lack thereof. That's how games are won and lost for the Nuggets. It's not about outscoring your opponent. Quite the opposite.

33:36 - Oh, by the way...the Rockies had a double-play taken off the board because of a balk? Huh? Oh, by the way...Virginia Tech decided to have parachutists drop into their football stadium before the Spring Game. One of flew DIRECTLY into the scoreboard. Oh, by the way...the Ottawa Senators are now down 0-2 in their series vs the Canes. Could it be because of a questionable hype song from some dorky Sens fans?

4-21-26 Hour 1 - Nugs blow it to T-Wolves in Game 2/"All the bad defenders" on the Nugs/Horrible NBC broadcast

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:53:50 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets had a double-digit lead over the Timberwolves. At home. In Ball Arena! And they blew it and lost Game 2. Boy, this is all too familiar. I feel like I've seen this movie before. What happened, man? How did it all unravel?

14:02 - After Minnesota's big win last night, Jaden McDaniels name checked a bunch of bad defenders on the Nuggets. By name! He specifically called the out and said they can't play defense. That's a WILD choice to make after Game 2 of a 7 game series, which is tied 1-1. Good news is the Nuggets have some fuel now.

30:35 - NBC completely bungled the Nuggets broadcast last night. They were late to the game! By the time they switched over from the Hawks/Knicks game, it was already 5-5 with a couple minutes gone. At no point did they say that Nuggets-Timberwolves was underway and available on a different channel or whatever. Absolute malpractice to make us sit through a postgame interview and a 3 minute commercial break instead of switching to Nuggets-Wolves.

4-20-26 Hour 3 - Wegdewood & Blackwood in Playoffs?/Keys to Nugs-Twolves Game 2/Need a decent start tonight

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:07:49 +0000

0:00 - On Saturday after the game, Scott Wedgewood said he'll trade goalie duties with Blackwood during the playoffs. How often will that happen? When SHOULD it happen? Wedgewood has been better, so should they ride with him the entire time? Or should they keep switching off since that got them through the regular season?

13:14 - Nuggets-Timberwolves Round 1, Game 2 TAHNIGHT. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

30:41 - We don't need the Nuggets to have a stellar start tonight. Can they have a decent start a least?? Is that too much to ask? Can they not have to climb their way out of a friggin hole?

4-20-26 Hour 2 - Avs take care of business in Game 1/The T-Wolves are Front-runners/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:57:45 +0000

0:00 - Scott Wedgewood looked solid as ever in Game 1 for the Avs. He was chatting with the TNT crew during the postgame show and said Blackwood will get some time in net too during the playoffs. Coach Bednar said the same thing on our show a couple weeks ago. The two-headed goalie monster is here to stay.
After that, which way is east? Which way is south? Let's rehash a geographical debate from last week.

16:31 - We'd forgotten how much we dislike the Minnesota Timberwolves. All it took was 1 game for those feelings to come back. And also, Brett figured out what their deal is. They're front-runners. They're great when things are going their way. But when they're losing, they start scrapping it up and they collapse.

32:07 - Oh, by the way...Adam Silver wants to establish an NBA division of European teams, since most of the NBA's stars are from Europe. And it would be possible due to "advancements in supersonic air travel." Oh, by the way...Jeff Legwold's Top 100 list is out! Who is the best player in the NFL Draft according to Leggy? Oh, by the way...we have a follow-up to the Taco Bell ding/dong debate heard round the Altitude TV world.

4-20-26 Hour 1 - Avs win grimy game 1 vs Kings/Nugs win sloppy game 1 vs T-Wolves/Rockies are "cheating"

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:33:23 +0000

0:00 - Boy, that was a PHYSICAL game between the Avs and Kings. LA brought the boom. That's how it goes in the playoffs. The physicality always ratchets up. The Avs survived, and held on for the Game 1 win. Is there any way LA wins this series?

14:50 - The Nuggets didn't play well for a full 48 minutes, but they sealed the deal for a Game 1 victory! After the game, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch was crying aboul Jamal Murray's 16 free throws. Cool, Chris. Criticize a guy who's known for playing some of the most ethical basketball out there.

33:39 - The Rockies beat the Dodgers in a professional baseball game! Wow! That's impossible, right? There's no way that could've happened! They must've been cheating. That's what Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing alleged (in a roundabout way) after the game on Saturday.

4-17-26 Hour 3 - NHL Player Poll results/Frank Caliendo in Studio/Playoff Keys to the Game, DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:15:29 +0000

0:00 - The NHL released the results of their anonymous player poll, where they ask everyone questions about their peers. Where did Avalanche players pop up on the survey?

14:28 - The man, the myth, the legend Frank Caliendo himself joined us in studio this morning. He fired off more impressions in 20 minutes than most people attempt in a lifetime. We even convinced Moser to do his Bill Clinton for Frank! He was a fan.
Go see Frank tonight and tomorrow (April 17 and 18) at Comedy Works South! Some of his shows are already sold out, so get on it now!

34:24 - A weekend playoff double diparoo necessitates a Playoff Double KEYS-A-ROO BABY! What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory in Game 1 vs the Timberwolves? What are the Keys to an Avs victory in Game 1 vs the Kings?

After that, it's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.
Today's edition includes: blow your waddie for the quaddie, I would take a ding or a dong, everybody wants the dong, you're beggin me to feel it, I have a hole and I'm shutting it.

4-17-26 Hour 2 - LA Kings Punchable Faces/Timberwolves Punchable Faces/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:03:48 +0000

0:00 - It's an annual tradition. It's how we preview every playoff series. Let's start with the Avs vs Kings. Which LA Kings players have the most punchable faces?

13:44 - Last how, we previewed Nuggets vs Timberwolves with stats, fact, figures, analysis, all that boring junk. Now let's preview the series by deciding which T-Wolves have the most punchable faces.

32:55 - Oh, by the way...Pablo Torre found out again. James Dolan is supposedly monitoring fans online who make negative posts about his teams. Oh, by the way...Bill Hanzlik went on Shark Tank and successfully sold his product! Way to go, Hanz! Oh, by the way...give Moser a 12-gauge and let him shoot down rogue drones.

4-17-26 Hour 1 -Avs FINALLY have an opponent/Nugs vs T-Wolves: Roster vs Roster/More Roster vs Roster

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:49:01 +0000

0:00 - Finally! 82 games in the books for every NHL team. That means the Avs FINALLY have a first round opponent! They'll face the LA Kings. That was Moser's first choice for an ideal matchup. LFG. Lock n load, boys.
(and by the way podcast listeners, the "exciting" song for Avs was "Around the World" by Daft Punk. The slower song for the Kings was "Only Time" by Enya.)

13:30 - Let's get granular with Nuggets vs Timberwolves. Let's break down each roster player by player, matchup by matchup and see who has the edge.

30:54 - We have to finish Vic's roster breakdown since it took Brett SO LONG TO MAKE HIS POINT LAST SEGMENT (allegedly). And how 'bout Mose trying to bring back a lil LAY IT DOWN at the end?

4-16-26 Hour 3 - The Roast of Marc Moser/Jeff Legwold/Can we find excitement for tonight?

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 17:05:11 +0000

0:00 - Tonight's Avalanche vs Kraken game is pretty meaningless. Neither team can change their fate. And even still, although he won't admit it, Moser is going to call the game like everything is on the line tonight! Somehow, this segment devolved into a full-blown roast of Marc Moser and Conor McGahey...and we forgot about Leggy.

15:10 - Whoops! NOW let's get to Jeff Legwold. Does Jeff have any idea what Aqib Talib was talking about? Will the Broncos make another splashy trade on draft night? What's going on with these replacement officials? Is the NFL really gonna let this happen AGAIN? And most importantly...Jeff Legwold's Super Duper Top 100 Players in the NFL Draft list comes out on Sunday. Can we get him to divulge ANY players and their rankings? How about his #62 ranked player since that's where the Broncos pick?

33:57 - How can we get excited about the Avs game tonight? How should Moser call the game? Should he try new voices or something? Come on, man...we're grasping at straws here...

4-16-26 Hour 2 - Cocky Anthony Edwards/Nuggets HAVE to beat Minnesota/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:48:52 +0000

0:00 - Anthony Edwards is cocky. Hot take alert, I know! And he's running his mouth a bit before the Nuggets and Timberwolves face off in Round 1. Brett says that's the key to beating Minnesota. Get in Ant's head. Rattle him. He's the head of the snake.

11:08 - The Denver Nuggets CANNOT lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Round 1. It simply cannot happen. If it does, the Nuggets will have to take a good long look in the mirror as an organization and figure out what happens next. Some serious changes will be made.

30:44 - Oh, by the way...people who sit courtside at basketball games should not be allowed to use their phones. It distracts you, you aren't paying attention, and then a loose basketball smashes you right in the beak. Oh, by the way...there's a chimpanzee civil war taking place in Uganda right now. Oh, by the way...Kawhi's future with the LA Clippers is uncertain. Yikes. Kawhi should water some more trees with his tears.

4-16-26 Hour 1 - Worst Trade in SPORTS History, MacKinnon with K&L/Tyson Barrie in Studio

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 16:42:08 +0000

0:00 - The Clippers lost to the Warriors in the Play-In Tournament last night. And with that loss, their 2026 first round draft pick becomes a lottery pick. And who owns the rights to the Clippers 2026 first round pick? THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. Incredible. You can bring up Russell Wilson, DeShaun Watson, Herschel Walker, whatever. Doesn't matter. The OKC-Clippers SGA trade is now officially the WORST trade in all of sports history. Not NBA history. SPORTS history!
Also, Tyson Barrie chilled in studio with Kreckman and Lindahl to promote his new beer Chilly Ones. And he brought a good friend of his with him. A man by the name of Nathan MacKinnon. Heard of him? Nate (Kreckman) & Andy asked Nate (MacKinnon) the one question that's been burning in our minds for months: what the hell was up with that stuffed animal at the Olympics?

14:26 - We just can't keep him away! Tyson Barrie joined us in studio today! We started off by asking him about Chilly Ones. How tough is it to promote your brand and get the word out? Why did they decide to make a 3% beer? Has he been dialed in to the NHL season? How often does he watch the Avalanche?

33:43 - Tyson Barrie hung out with us for another segment. In honor of Coach Bednar taking a puck in the face, we asked Tyson what goes through your head when you chuck your body in front of a flying puck on defense. Does he miss his playing days? If the Avs gave him a call, would he lace em up again?

4-15-26 Hour 3 - Avs took care of business/Well-rested Nuggets/The end of LIV Golf, Moser's dumb dog

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 17:07:35 +0000

0:00 - Last night in Calgary, the Avs checked every box. No one got hurt. MacKinnon scored a goal. Marty Nachos reached 100 points on the season. And they won the game. All on the 2nd night of a back to back on the road! Good work, boys.

13:20 - The Nuggets will have rested for 10 straight days before they play game 1. That's awesome! Rest vs Rust be damned. This team needs to heal all their scrapes and bruises. What's the ideal playoff rotation, assuming everyone is healthy and ready to go?

31:45 - Is LIV Golf going belly up? If so, how should the PGA handle it? Should they welcome all those golfers back with open arms?
Also, Moser's at home today which means we get a good boy sighting. Moser's dog Rick always makes an apperance when he's broadcasting from his couch. Rick is a Boxer, and a good boi. Moser says he's also dumber than a box of rocks. There's nothing between Rick's ears. And we all love him for it <3.

4-15-26 Hour 2 - Erik Johnson/All-day appetizers, Nuggets playoff rotation/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:51:18 +0000

0:00 - No Moser, no Vic, no Bednar, no problem! The show must go on! Erik Johnson tapped in for an injured Bedsie and had a nice one-on-one chat with Kaner this morning.

14:54 - Today's show is turning into an all-day appetizer how. A texter asked us - can you eat appetizers all day? Brett is team All Appertizers.
Next, what will the Nuggets rotation look like in the playoffs? Teams usually shorten their rotation significantly in the postseason, but that might not work for the Nuggets.

31:00 - Oh, by the way...Moser is back! He made it! Oh, by the way...LaMelo Ball had a weird incident last night where he got tangled up with Bam Adebayo under the basket. Bam got hurt and didn't play the rest of the game. Was it intentional? What did LaMelo have to say after the game? How about Erik Spoelstra? Oh, by the way...Blue Jackets Head Coach (for now) Rick Bowness was mad, sad, angry, disappointed, all the emotions in his postgame presser last night.

4-15-26 Hour 1 - Avs win AGAIN, 100pts for Marty Nachos/Nat'l media picking Nugs/Bo Nix hanging at Augusta

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 16:41:14 +0000

0:00 - The Colorado Wagon keeps rolling, even in garbage time! The Avs beat the Flames on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back! MacKinnon reached 53 goals and Marty Nachos recorded his 100th point. Great night all around. The Avalanche are back at Ball tomorrow night to wrap it all up!
Moser got back from Calgary super late last night. So we're gonna let him catch a few extra winks of sleep. He'll join us later...hopefully...

14:51 - Almost all of the national media is picking the Nuggets to beat the Timberwolves in Round 1. Even friend of the program Nick Wrong is picking the Nuggets! Does that say more about how good the Nuggets are? Or the deficiencies of the Timberwolves?

34:12 - Jim Nantz went on Pat McAfee yesterday and said he spotted Bo Nix at the Masters! He was walking around Augusta with Drake Maye. The ankle looks fine, according to Nantz. Nothing predisposed about it! Are we still worried about his ankle? Is that still a concern we should have heading into next season/the forseeable future?

4-14-26 Hour 3 - The Flaw in the 65-Game Rule/Moser's..."Key" to the game/Overthinking about the playoffs...

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:17:12 +0000

0:00 - The NBA implemented the 65-game rule to try and force players to be available. To curb so-called "load management." But here's the thing...Bruce Brown appeared in all 82 games this year! He's the only Nugget who played in every single regular season game. And yet, he's not eligible for any postseason awards because he didn't average enough minutes per game. That's wild. The rule needs to be tweaked somehow.

15:30 - The Avalanche are in Calgary tonight on the 2nd night of a back to back! What are the keys to the game? Did Moser actually give us a key?

32:25 - This week off between the end of the regular season and the first Nuggets playoff game is going to KILL us. The more time we have, the more our mind wanders. The more our mind wanders, the more we overthink. The more we overthink, the more we start to question if the Nuggets can beat Minnesota in Round 1. Enough thinking! Can it be Saturday already?

4-14-26 Hour 2 - Aqib Talib's Broncos Hunch/Avs Rd 1 opponent is wide open/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Aqib Talib said the Broncos might make another flashy move on draft night. Let's expand on that...what does he mean? Does he mean the Broncos would try to trade up and draft someone? Or package some picks for a draft night trade?

14:04 - The Pacific Division is a wonderful dumpster fire! All the playoff teams are set, BUT playoff SEEDING is still up in the air. The Avalanche could face any of 4 different teams in Round 1 with 2 games remaining in the regular season. That's crazy. Of all those options, which team would you want to see first?

32:35 - Oh, by the way...a kid just broke Usain Bolt's 200m sprint time. And his name is...Gout Gout. Oh, by the way...Doc Rivers "stepped down" as head coach of the Bucks. Poor guy can't find a consistent job anymore. Oh, by the way...the Costa Rica Women's National Soccer Team recently won a game 21-0. Their offensive charge was lead by a player named Priscila Chincilla.

4-14-26 Hour 1 - Avs beat Oilers in a shootout/DU Head Coach David Carle/Nugs vs T-Wolves in Round 1

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, the Bednar-less Avalanche beat the Oilers in a shootout! The Avs have nothing to play for, and yet the Oilers are still fighting for seeding! What a tough break for Edmonton. There's a reason their goalie angrily smashed his stick after Nathan MacKinnon buried the shootout winner.

14:28 - Over the weekend, the DU Pioneers won their 11th national championship! That's 2 more than any other D1 men's hockey program. For Head Coach David Carle, it's his 3rd title in 5 years. How has he built such a consistently dominant program? Coach joined us today to look back on his incredible season.

34:30 - Do we still fear the T-Wolves? There was a time when Minnesota struck fear into the hearts of every Nuggets fan. Will this year be different? How confident are we that the Nuggets can survive the Wolves and make it to Round 2?

4-13-26 Hour 3 - A wild Nuggets season wraps up/Avs playoff scenarios, Keys to the game/The 65 Game Rule

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 17:09:40 +0000

0:00 - Think about how crazy this Nuggets season was. They suffered a ton of injuries to key players, had different lineups every single night, and still won 54 games with a (sort-of) first year head coach. AND they set the franchise record for road wins. Insanity.

14:36 - Sorry for the lack of music, as always. For context: Vic did one of his live reads for Flatirons Fire, and said they sell grills. Not the kind for your teeth, though. So we had to bump back with Grillz by Nelly and Paul Wall. It only felt right. Once we got that out of our system...
The Avs have 3 games left before the playoffs, and they don't have a first round opponent solidified yet. It could still be Nashville, LA, or Anehim. In all honesty, does it really matter who they play? And speaking of their remaining schedule, what are the keys to an Avalanche victory tonight in Edmonton?

33:16 - The NBA's 65 Game Rule has come under a lot of scrutiny this season, both good and bad. Charles Barkley had some...pointed comments about the rule on Inside the NBA this weekend. Chuckster? Opinionated? No way!

4-13-26 Hour 2 - Nugs B team looked great this weekend/Rory wins the Masters/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:52:43 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets wrapped up the regular season with a casual 12-game win streak. NBD. Give credit to the bench, man. They looked GREAT this weekend. Yesterday, they were playing a Spurs team that actually wanted/needed to win! Sure, Wemby wasn't playing, but the rest of the roster is stacked too! And the Nuggets B Team answered the bell. That's a great sign.

14:54 - Rory McIlroy won his second straight Masters. He became the 4th golfer ever to go back-to-back at Augusta. But, he also said he's been practicing at Augusta a lot. He'll drop his daughter off at school, fly a private jet to Augusta, get a few rounds in, head home, then have dinner with his family. Is that an unfair advantage? Should Augusta limit the number of times you can play there before the Masters?
Also, Aqib Talib said on his podcast that the Broncos might be making another big move this offseason...keep your eyes peeled on draft night...He was right about them getting another offensive weapon! Could he be right on this one as well?

34:10 - Oh, by the way...like 3 seconds after our show wrapped up on Friday, the Walton-Penner Group purchased a 40% minority ownership stake in the Rockies. Woah! What does that mean for the Rox? Oh, by the way...are we really still making golfers manually write down their scores on a scorecard? It's 2026, man. Oh, by the way...Mike Vrabel isn't attending the Patriots pre-draft press conference. Shocker.

4-13-26 Hour 1 - Nugs win 12th game in a row/Bednar took a puck to the face/DU wins 11th title

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:38:16 +0000

0:00 - And with that, the 2025-2026 NBA Regular Season is in the books. 82 games. The Nuggets finished the season by casually winning 12 games in a row and clinching the 3 seed. That's insane. Go back to, say...March 1. Could you picture the Nuggets rattling off 12 wins and climbing to the 3 seed? Not at all. What a wild turn of events.

15:31 - The Avs lost to Vegas on Saturday and...we don't really care. We felt nothing watching that game. Everyone stay healthy and let's get to the playoffs. The only notable thing from that game was a flying puck hitting Coach Bednar in the face! He's staying at home and recuperating instead of traveling to Edmonton and Calgary. Understandable. Get better soon, Bedsie!

32:23 - The DU Pioneers are national champions once again! That's 11 titles for the Men's Hockey team. Let's be honest...THEY'RE the real Colorado Wagon. But that being said, the ESPN crew disrespected the Pioneers on the broadcast moments after they secured the chip. We have to stop doing this!

4-10-26 Hour 3 - Keys to a Nugs victory/Not worried about Avs curses/Moser can't run, DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:42:41 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets are hosting the Thunder tonight, and OKC is playing...no one. They have the 1 seed locked up. They have absolutely no reason to play any big guns. So what should the Nuggets do? Should they rest their top dogs too? Do they need more wins to ensure the get the 3 seed? What's the play here?
If they decide they need a win tonight, what are the keys to the game?

11:55 - Don't be nervous about the Avs! We're not doing curse stuff. The Presidents' Trophy curse is a bunch of hogwash. Don't overthink this. The Avs are good. They're better than everyone else. Therefore, they're going to win. It's simple math.

27:59 - Moser doesn't like Patrick Reed because of everything about him as a human being. His words, not mine. Part of that includes how Patrick Reed runs. Moser made fun of his running. So, Brett and Vic challenge Moser to do a better job. They sent him out into the hallway to run and prove he has better form.
After that, it's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

4-10-26 Hour 2 - Avs at the top, Jokic gaining MVP buzz/Masters update, MacKinnon F-bombs/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:22:26 +0000

0:00 - The Avs clinched the Presidents' Trophy last night! They're the top team in the NHL. Should they start resting guys now? Who should sit out these last few games?
After that...SGA is still the favorite to win NBA MVP. But Jokic is gaining a ton of momentum from this 10-game win streak. The national media is finally embracing something they should've noticed months again.

14:01 - Do gimmicks on the Masters broadcast bring in any new fans? Are any non-golf fans tuning in because of Jason Kelce being on the broadcast? Do stunts like that actually work?
The rink mics caught a few crystal clear F-bombs from MacKinnon last night during the Avs game. Now he's gotta go to his bedroom. Two minutes for being bad.

29:05 - Oh, by the way...the Padres were awarded an automatic double play after a video review yesterday. Did the Rockies get jobbed? Or was it the right call? Oh, by the way...the Jaguars are moving Travis Hunter to full-time cornerback. He'll play a couple "gadget plays" on offense, but that's it. Oh, by the way...do you like chocolate ice cream or vanilla ice cream? Depending on your answer, you might be able to play QB at Oregon.

4-10-26 Hour 1 - Avs clinch Presidents' Trophy/Rox get walked off in 12th/Tanking, point-shaving, or do you suck?

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 16:13:00 +0000

0:00 - WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! Top of the Central, top of the West, now top of the entire league. The Presidents' Trophy is coming back to Denver! Now, you can start resting guys (if you want) and focus on the real goal: reuniting with Lord Stanley.

15:14 - The Padres beat the Rockies in the 12th inning last night with a walk off Grand Slam. Yikes. That's one of the worst way to lose a ballgame. Soul crushing. Let's compare the Rockies TV call and the Padres TV call. The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat.

33:49 - The NBA has (another) issue on its hands. How can you tell when a player is intentionally throwing a game with point-shaving, tanking, etc? What if that player or team is just flat-out bad? How do you differentiate?

4-09-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Making a Mockey of the Masters, Rox are HOT baby!/Harlem Shake vs Colorado Wagon

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:12:27 +0000

0:00 - It's our favorite annual tradition: Brett asking Jeff Legwold to divulge a player from his NFL Draft Top 100 Ultimate List of Ultimate Destiny, and Leggy refusing. Isn't it beautiful? Did Leggy crack this time?

16:16 - Can we just broadcast the Masters? And talk sports? Why do we have to involve Kevin Hart and Jason Kelce making a mockey of everything? It's desecrating a timeless tradition in sports.
After that, the Rockies are hot right now! They've clawed back to .500! They swept the Astros and they're sitting at 6-6. They started the year 0-3, which means they've gone 6-3 since then. How long will this momentum last?

32:23 - What's more of a pump up banger: Colorado Wagon or the Harlem Shake?
(Again, sorry about the lack of copyrighted music. At least you get to hear the COLORADO WAGONNNNNNN)

4-09-26 Hour 2 - Masters underway, Nugs win 10/DU's Dominance, Kirk said too much/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:56:55 +0000

0:00 - The Masters is officially underway at Augusta. Hey, did you know Vic played there?
After that, the Nuggets have won 10 games in a row for the first time in the Jokic era. Isn't that crazy? It seems impossible that Jokic/Murray have never rattled off a 10-game win streak together (until now).

13:00 - Don't take DU Hockey's dominance for granted. They make the Frozen Four every single year, churn out NHL talent left and right, and we all just assume it'll happen next year as well. Recognize greatness.
After that, we all already know the Raiders are going to take Fernando Mendoza first overall in the NFL draft. It's all but done. Even so...Kirk Cousins talked about Mendoza in a recent interview and acted like he's already a Raider. Probably not supposed to do that right?

29:57 - Oh, by the way...those pics of Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel are pretty telling. Have you ever interlocked fingers with a platonic friend...ever? Oh, by the way...there's so much young talent entering the NHL right now. Oh, by the way...the Minnesota Wild signed a guy to a tryout and his actual name is Viking. It was meant to be.

4-09-26 Hour 1 - Nitpicking Nuggets Win?/The Rockies are .500!/NBA's anti-tanking solutions are stupid

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:39:55 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets beat the Grizzlies G-League roster last night...BUT...they were down at halftime! It took them ages to start rolling! They didn't seal the victory until the 4th quarter. Do we care? Should we be concerned because the Nuggets didn't smash their faces from the opening tip?

15:20 - Hey, look at that! The Rockies swept the Astros! And NOW they're 6-6! The're playing .500 baseball! Plus, they started the season 0-3. It's only 12 games, but come on now. These Rox are looking legit.

33:25 - The NBA recently developed some ideas to stop tanking, and the NBA Board of Governors will vote on them next month. For the 10,000th time, these ideas they keep developing AREN'T GOING TO WORK! How many times do we have to say it?

4-08-26 Hour 3 - Masters tomorrow, Keys to Nugs game/Vic's Live Update from Jury Duty/Fact Checker

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 17:09:33 +0000

0:00 - The Masters starts tomorrow which means...Vic, Moser, and Brett are going to be absolute luggage tomorrow. They won't participate in their own show at all. Get ready, folks.
After that, the Nuggets are playing a G-League version of the Grizzlies. They're resting everyone. It's insanity. Tonight is a MUST WIN for the Nuggets. Period. What are the keys to a victory?

14:52 - Vic did his Civic Duty today. Good for him! Somebody get him a gold star. Let's get a live update from the man himself. Is he still at the courthouse? Was he cut loose? Is he answering Uncle Sam's call?

32:12 - We have a whole slew of final thoughts, soundbites, you name it to get out of our system before the show wraps up. After that, let's get to a Fact Checker. How many minutes are in the 1st half of an NBA game?

4-08-26 Hour 2 - Avs win the Central, Wedgewood is fine/Oh, By the Way/Jared Bednar

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:44:25 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche took care of business last night and locked up the Central's top spot! Nazem Kadri got hurt, but Coach Bednar made it seem like it's not serious. Scott Wedgewood also got banged up from a collision in the net, but he's fine. Postgame, he told Moser and Ryker that he got the wind knocked out of him. That's all.
Have you ever have the wind knocked out of you? That's probably happened to everyone at some point, right? No matter how many times it happens, you never get used to that feeling.

13:42 - Oh, by the way...we got an ACTUAL brawl in an MLB game yesterday. Like, REAL punches, tackles, you name it. Oh, by the way...Michael Malone addressed the media yesterday for the first time as the head coach of North Carolina hoops.

28:16 - Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar joined us this morning! We let him sleep in a little bit, but he still had to wake up and talk to us, unfortunately. Does Coach have an update on Kadri? Does he plan on resting any of his big guns in these last few games before the playoffs? What's on Coach's mind this morning?

4-08-26 Hour 1 - AVS WIN THE CENTRAL/Rox are...fun to watch?/MUST win game for Nugs tonight

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:36:48 +0000

0:00 - THE CENTRAL DIVISION CROWN IS COMIN BACK TO COLORADO! Way to go Avs! They haven't locked up the President's Trophy yet, but the Central is theirs. Kadri got dinged up in last night's game, as did Scott Wedgewood. What did Coach Bednar have to say about it after the game?

14:48 - You hear it here first, folks. The Rockies are actually fun to watch this year! Make of that what you will. Paul DePodesta, President of Baseball Operations for the Rockies, chatted with PHD yesterday. And he's saying things that Brett's wanted to hear for YEARS from someone in the Front Office. He's shifting the mindset and attitude of the team.
The Avalanche can't face the Wild or the Stars in the first round because those 2 teams will face each other. So, who DO we want to see the Avs face?

32:12 - Tonight is a MUST WIN game for the Nuggets for a couple reasons. First of all, the Nuggets snatched the 3 seed from the Lakers, since LA is struggling wihtout Luka and Austin Reaves right now. Second of all, the Memphis Grizzlies are resting EVERYONE today. They'll barely bring a roster of warm bodies to Ball Arena tonight. Losing to this G-League Grizzlies team tonight is inexcusable. Take care of business, strike while the iron's hot, and inch closer to stealing the 3 seed from the LakeShow for good.

4-07-26 Hour 3 - Nuggets win 9th straight/Keys to the Avs, The Moon Channel/Tar Heels hire Michael Malone

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:03:14 +0000

0:00 - It hasn't been a pretty win streak to say the least. But the Nuggets have won 9 GAMES IN A ROW! Count em! For months, we've said we won't believe this Nuggets squad can win a title until they prove otherwise. Have they proven anything during this winning streak?

14:33 - What are the Keys to an Avalanche victory tonight in St. Louis with a chance to clinch the Central once and for all?
After that, Vic doesn't care about the moon. At all. Artemish Shmartemis. Who cares? How does that affect life here on earth? It's some random rock out there in the sky. We gain nothing by traveling there.

32:08 - SERIOUSLY, Vic does NOT care about space travel! Back to sports...North Carolina hired Michael Malone to coach their basketball squad. We think this will be a great fit in the portal era. Malone always wanted rosters full of veterans that are ready to roll. That's what the portal brings! Open up the checkbook and let's ride.

4-07-26 Hour 2 - Rox don't suck, Avs need ONE MORE/The mystery of college sports/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:52:02 +0000

0:00 - Guess what?? The Rockies don't suck! They're not winning a World Series this year but they're not incredibly horrible! That's a win. You'll take that every time. Aside from a couple bad innings here and there, they've been incrementally better this year. And that's all you can ask for.
After that, Avs PLEASE just win one more game. Beat the Blues tonight, then sit Makar, MacKinnon, Landy, Necas, etc until the playoffs. Bubble wrap your big dogs and get ready for Lord Stanley.

14:18 - Congrats to Michigan! They won the Natty yesterday and prevented Dan Hurley from cutting down a 3rd net. But something about the new NIL/Portal landscape of college sports in general is a mystery to Vic. Simply put...why do these big donors give a ton of money to the sports porgrams at all these schools? Ultimately, what's the point?

34:27 - Oh, by the way...there's an 81-year-old Dodgers fan. Season ticket holder for 50 years. Doesn't own a smartphone. Doesn't know technology. The Dodgers just announced they don't print physical tickets anymore. They're only digital. What's this guy supposed to do? Oh, by the way...the Las Vegas Aces did their best impression of Kawhi Leonard and his Tree Farm, and the WNBA is investigating. Oh, by the way...in 1919, a Yankees outfielder battled an Ostrich in an eating contest and won.

4-07-26 Hour 1 - Nugs battle back against Blazers/Avs in a good spot, Spicy NBA ref/Malone hired to coach UNC

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:37:34 +0000

0:00 - They never should've been down by 18 points at home against the lowly Trailblazers in the first place BUT what a comeback by the Nuggets! Man that was awesome. They've now won 9 in a row. And yet...Brett still doesn't know how to make heads or tails of this team. It feels like the Broncos all over again. They're winning but is it sustainable? There's that good ol' sustainable word again.

14:57 - The Avs have lost to a few bad teams recently, but they're still in a good spot. They still win the games they need to win. Tonight is one of those. Go to St. Louis, get a W, wrap up the top spot in the Central, and cruise into the playoffs.
After that, Bill Kennedy is our favorite NBA ref now. He loves adding a lil mustard to his calls whenever he hops on the mic after a review.

32:30 - North Carolina just hired Michael Malone to be their next head basketball coach. That's an interesting move, to say the least. Malone absolutely could've and should've gotten another NBA coaching gig. He won a title. And yet, he ended up in college. That being said, he's the perfect coach for the portal era.

2026 Drop Tournament - National Championship & One Shining Moment

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 17:03:13 +0000

It's finally time to crown a champion in our 2026 Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament. Who will cut down the nets once and for all? Will it be Mary and her little clam? Or will it be Moser cheerleading like Bill Belichick's girlfriend?
And as is tradition, we need to look back on all 64 drops who competed for eternal glory in our One Shining Moment. Thanks for another successful tournament, everyone.
(Again, "One Shining Moment" is very copyrighted so you won't hear the music here. Apologies. But you'll still hear all 64 drops and our reactions to it all)

4-06-26 Hour 3 - Full team Nugs effort/Keys to Nugs vs Blazers/Drop Tournament Winner & One Shining Moment

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:55:35 +0000

0:00 - Jokic's shot over Wemby to bury the Spurs was epic. SportsCenter Top 10-type shot. MVP-type shot. But what was also encouraging from that game was how the WHOLE team played. They got contributions from the entire roster, top to bottom. Whatever slump Cam Johnson was in is OVA. They're proving they can win all sorts of games in different ways.

14:53 - The Avs play differently in front of Wedgewood. They keep hanging Blackwood out to dry on the breakaway. Wedgie is absolutely Goalie #1 in the playoffs.
After that, the Nuggets are hosting the Blazers tonight. The Blazers are...not good. That #3 seed in the West is squarely in sight, now that BOTH Luka and Austin Reaves are injured. Tonight's game is a must-win for the Nuggets. What are the keys to a victory?

32:05 - It's finally time to crown a champion in our 2026 Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament. Who will cut down the nets once and for all? And as is tradition, we need to look back on all 64 drops who competed for eternal glory in our One Shining Moment. Thanks for another successful tournament, everyone.
(Again, "One Shining Moment" is very copyrighted so you won't hear the music here. But you'll still hear all 64 drops and our reactions to it all)

4-06-26 Hour 2 - Jokic should be MVP/Moser's Masters Update, Avs playoff picture/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:37:03 +0000

0:00 - To be the man, you gotta beat the man. Wemby can't beat the man. We've known it all season long, but Saturday's performance solidified it for us. Jokic is the NBA MVP. It's not Luka. It's not Wemby. It's not Floppy Foul-Bait McGee. It's Nikola Jokic. But, realistically, do we care? Is it worth investing any energy in the MVP conversation?

15:21 - He teased it! He told you it was coming up after the break! Everybody strap in! It's time for Moser's Masters Update.
After that, the Avs have all but won the Central. Their victory over Dallas on Saturday was the final piece of the puzzle (technically, they haven't locked it up but come on...they locked it up). Assuming the Avs are the 1 seed, who would their first round opponent be? What are some possible scenarios?

32:04 - Oh, by the way...the Final Four TV broadcast was a carvinal. Why did we have Will Forte doing a goofy bit and the Chainsmokers performing during the friggin Final Four? Oh, by the way...a baby was born this weekend during an Oilers game. At the arena. Yes, a woman actually brought a child into this world inside the Edmonton Oilers arena. Oh, by the way...Bucci argued that Zach Werenski should win the Norris Trophy...because of how he played in the Olympics??

4-06-26 Hour 1 -Jokic buried the Spurs/Avs won the game they needed/Drop Tourney National Championship

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:25:25 +0000

0:00 - It all came down to Jokic vs Wemby. MVP on MVP. And Jokic sunk an impossible fadeaway dagger right in Wemby's face. Wemby's like 10 feet tall, and Jokic launched a ball OVER his head. With a hand in his face. While falling backwards. Ballgame. Unbelievable. The Nuggets needed that win in the worst way and they got it. And oh, by the way, just give Jokic the damn MVP already.

16:12 - We don't care about yesterday's Avs loss to the Blues. Whatever. On Saturday, they needed a win over Dallas and they got it. The Central is done. Your Avs wrapped it up. Not officially, but I mean...it's over.

32:52 - How 'bout those crazy home run robberies by Jo Adell? Three in one game! And they were legit ROBBERIES. All of them.
After that, the National Championship game is tonight! UConn vs Michigan for a chance to cut down the nets. We're all rooting for Michigan right? Because we can't stomach seeing Dan Hurley win a 3rd title, right? We're all on the same page?
But more importantly...it's the national championship of OUR ML&K DROP TOURNAMENT! Mary Had a Little Clam vs Moser Cheerleading Like Belichick's Girlfriend for all the marbles.

2026 Drop Tournament - Elite 8 Group Stage

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:33:58 +0000

It's the next stage of our Moser, Lombardi and Kane drop tournament! We're onto the Elite 8 today BUT with a twist. We're doing a knockout round. 2 groups of 4 drops. Only 1 drop will emerge victorious from each side of the bracket to advance to the National Championship on Monday! Who will it be? Will the only remaining 1 seed make it to the Natty?

4-03-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Saturday Double Dip, MLB catcher overslept/Drop Tourney Results, DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:00:15 +0000

0:00 - What does our Broncos Insider think about everything Sean Payton said at the NFL Owners Meetings. How does Leggy feel about "running it back"? How will Jonah Elliss look at inside linebacker? What's the plan for Drew Sanders?

16:56 - It's an incredibly important Double Dip-a-Roo on Saturday for our Avs and Nuggets. If the Avs beat the Stars, the Central is all but locked up. If the Nuggets beat the Spurs, the 3 seed becomes a real possibility in the wake of Luka's injury. The Lakers don't have a chokehold on it anymore.
After that, Royals Catcher Carter Jensen overslept and was late for a game. He made it before first pitch, but he was scratched from the lineup. Italian baseball hero Vinnie Pasquantino had some blunt comments about his rookie teammate after the game.

33:55 - Who survived the brutal Elite 8 Group Stage Knockout round in our Drop Tournament? Which 2 drops will fight to the death on Monday in our National Championship game?
After that, it's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

4-03-26 Hour 2 - Snarky Sean returns, LeBron hates Memphis/Luka's injury/Oh By the Way, Drop Tourney

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:49:58 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton did something at the NFL Owners Meetings that he hasn't done in a while. He got snarky with the media! We haven't seen Snarky Sean vs Reporters in a long time! It's like reconnecting with an old friend.
Also, LeBron hung out with some golf YouTubers (since he's into golf YouTubers now) and absolutely ripped the city of Memphis. He said the Grizzlies should be relocated to Nashville. Turns out, he's not the only NBA player who feels that way.

14:33 - Luka Doncic went down with an apparent hamstring injury yesterday. We thought the NBA Western Conference playoff picture was pretty much set in stone. Well that's DEFINITELY not the case anymore. Are the Lakers actually a desireable playoff opponent if they don't have Luka in the lineup?

33:15 - Oh, by the way...how does Luka's injury affect the NBA championship betting odds? Oh, by the way...Tom Brady lied to us about his diet. AGAIN. Oh, by the way...a minor league baseball team is going to play a game inside an abandoned prison?
Let's get back to our Moser, Lombardi annd Kane Drop Tournament! We have one more Group of 4 drops in our Elite 8 knockout round. It contains representatives from the Moser and Nelly regions. Who will advance to the National Championship on Monday?

4-03-26 Hour 1 - Luka's injury changes everything/Coast into the playoffs?/Rox Home Opener, Drop Tourney

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:39:25 +0000

0:00 - Luka Doncic left the game with a hamstring injury yesterday. Holy cow. The Western Conference playoff race just blew WIDE open.

15:09 - How conservative do you want the Avalanche and Nuggets to be heading into the playoffs? Do they still need to go full throttle? Or can they slow down a bit since they've both clinched spots already?

33:03 - Happy Rockies Home Opening Day! Baseball is back at 20th and Blake. A new era begins today. Let's give Brett a brief second to wax poetic.
After that, it's the next stage of our Moser, Lombardi and Kane drop tournament! We're onto the Elite 8 today BUT with a twist. We're doing a knockout round. 2 groups of 4 drops. Only 1 drop will emerge victorious from each side of the bracket to advance to the National Championship on Monday! Who will it be? Will the only remaining 1 seed make it to the Natty?

4-02-26 Hour 3 - Jokic isn't always the "best" player/Avs can't stop caring right now/What to ask Spencer Jones?

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:57:25 +0000

0:00 - In previous years, Jokic has always been the best player on the court for the Nuggets. Number 1 with a bullet. Undisputed. This year, that hasn't always been the case. And that's a good thing!

15:22 - We get it. It's a long season. The Avs looked disinterested last night. They couldn't get excited about playing the worst team in the league. But the job's not finished. They're not locked into a playoff seed yet. Seeding still matters. They HAVE to care about these last few games. They can't lose interest. Focus up, boys. Let's go.

32:11 - Vic is interviewing Spencer Jones today. Aside from the obvious LinkedIn questions, what should Vic ask him?

4-02-26 Hour 2 - Rox beat the Blue Jays, new NFL concussion data/No Avs moral victory/Oh, By the Way

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:49:49 +0000

0:00 - Not only did the Rockies beat the Blue Jays last night, they won the series! 2 out of 3 games! Against the defending AL Champions! A team that came within spitting distance of winning the World Series! How da ya like them apples?
After that, the NFL released new data that might explain an uptick in concussions last year. And it makes no sense. Feels like a total red herring.

15:39 - There are no positive takeaways from last night's Avs game. Even with that killer 3rd period and thrilling comeback. Nope. Nothing good about last night when you're this late in the season. Avs head coach Jared Bednar said it himself postgame.

31:41 - Oh, by the way...a collegiate softball game got interrupted by the Artemis II launch yesterday. So the players asked the umpire to stop the game so they could watch the rocket. Absolutely the right thing to do. Oh, by the way...the NFL referees are making some ridiculous demands. Oh, by the way...one of the Mix 100 morning show hosts has a problem with everyone in the building referring to Coach Sanford as "Coach" all the time. In the workplace. Where he's not coaching.

4-02-26 Hour 1 - A very strange Avs loss/Nuggets took care of business...finally/Raiders signed Kirk Cousins

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:38:22 +0000

0:00 - Well that was an odd Avs game. They blew it early, battled all the way back, then blew it again. At home. Against the worst team in the NHL. Are there any actual takeaways from that game? Did we learn anything?

15:22 - The Nuggets finally did what they were supposed to do. They beat a bad team! Sure they had a bad stretch where Utah kept it close. But at no point did Brett think they were in danger of losing. But...ANOTHER INJURY. P-Wat left the game. My goodness gracious, can we catch a break here?

32:11 - The Las Vegas Raiders signed Kirk Cousins. They're also very clearly going to draft Fernando Mendoza 1st overall in the draft. So what's the plan here? Is Cousins willing to accept a backup role and serve as a mentor to Mendoza? Or should Cousins be the starter and give Mendoza some time to develop before he's thrust into a starting role?

4-01-26 Hour 3 - Hockey players grit it out, NFL rule changes/LeBron to Denver?/Dan Hurley on ref "incident"

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 17:02:30 +0000

0:00 - Cale Makar's injury isn't too bad. He'll rest for the remainder of the regular season then return for playoffs. He's probably play through this injury if we were in the playoffs right now. It's WILD the amount of injuries that NHL guys play through when Lord Stanley is on the line.
After that, the NFL approved some rule changes for the upcoming season. A bunch of them have to do with kickoffs. Cool! Who cares, man? Every year the NFL tinkers with kickoffs and no one cares.

16:55 - Brian Windhorst explained why LeBron James should take his talents to the Mile High City. If his time with the Lakers is done, would you take him here?

32:58 - Dan Hurley went on a podcast and explained the face-to-face incident he had with a Ref after UConn beat Duke in the Elite 8. And if he's telling the truth, his answer makes it even worse.

4-01-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Kane can't read, Nugs should kill the Jazz/Double Keys-A-Roo, Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:53:14 +0000

0:00 - How's Cale Makar doing? How severe is his injury? Let's get an answer directly from Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar.

19:50 - As we learned at the end of last segment, Brett Kane can't read. So he starts hookin with all of us and trying to take us down with him.
After that, the Nuggets are playing the Jazz tonight. You need to KILL them. This game had better not come down to the wire. It's playoffs time. The Jazz suck. Prove to us you're real and beat a bad team easily.

32:59 - The boys called for an early Keys, so let's get to it! It's another Double Dip-a-Roo tonight. How do we parlay that into a double WIN-a-Roo for the Avs and Nugs?
After that...Oh, by the way...We got another goalie fight last night! Oh, by the way...all 10 players on the ice on Montreal @ Tampa Bay received 2-minute penalties at the same time. The ref had to write everything down on a note card so he didn't mess it up. Oh, by the way...Team Italy's Espresso Maker from the WBC sold for $16,500 at an auction. Italy, known baseball country.

4-01-26 Hour 1 - Italy Soccer ruined Vic's life/Payton at NFL Owners Meetings/UConn fans sill cooking Kane

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:46:09 +0000

0:00 - Team Italy lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in soccer yesterday, meaning they will miss the World Cup again. Vic's life is officially over. Throw in the towel. Stop making pizza. No more Armani. No Ferrari. Italy has to focus only on soccer until they get this fixed.

14:28 - Sean Payton spoke to the media at the NFL Owners Meetings yesterday. He's not a fan of the terminology "Free Agency Frenzy" or "running it back."

32:23 - UConn fans are STILL cooking Brett Kane left, right, and center on Twitter for his Anti-Dan Hurley take. INCLUDING a recognizable actor. Brett's catching strays (or directs) from Hollywood.

3-31-26 Hour 3 - UConn fans are mad at Brett/Moser's bringing pizza, 1st round opponents/Rooting for Villains

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:57:29 +0000

0:00 - Brett Kane tweeted about Dan Hurley getting up in that ref's face and said it should've been a technical. It's ridiculous it wasn't called, and he doesn't understand people defending Hurley. Well, the UConn Storm Troopers found the tweet and they're really giving Brett the digital business. Oof.

12:59 - Italy is playing Bosnia and Herzegovina is soccer today. Whoever wins qualifies for the World Cup. Loser goes home. It's all on the line for Vic's squad. He invited Moser to watch the game at the Lombardi Lair today on one condition: Moser brings pizza for everyone.
After that, what happens if Cale Makar misses a few weeks with his upper body injury? Which teams can the Avs defeat in the playoffs without Makar in the lineup? Who do you want to see in the first round?

31:21 - Sometimes, we end up rooting for the bad guys in a movie or TV show. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes the villains win us over. What are some notable examples?

3-31-26 Hour 2 - Concerned about Cale?/Lions want a retirement refund, Paton likes the RB Room/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:46:52 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche doused the Calgary Flames 9-2 last night at Ball Arena and scored multiple power play goals! Plural! It was almost a perfect night, except for one thing. Cale Makar left the game and didn't return because of an "upper body injury." We haven't received any updates yet. How concerned are we? How concerned did Coach Bednar sound in his postgame presser yesterday?

13:52 - The Lions signed Center Frank Ragnow out of retirement late last season, but he didn't play a snap for them because he didn't pass his physical. He had a Grade 3 hamstring strain! Turns out, he had to pay back part of his signing bonus. The Lions claim that they've made other players do this before, like Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, so the precedent has been set. Really? Come on, Fords. You guys aren't low on cash. Let the man keep his money.
After that, George Paton spoke at the NFL Owners meeting yesterday and said he likes the RB room. Of course he's going to say that. But, we're not sure we like it as much as he does! There's still plenty of room for improvement.

31:47 - Oh, by the way...the referee who Dan Hurley (allegedly) headbutted was asked about the incident and said the whole "incident" was nothing. They looked at each other. That's it. Oh, by the way...NASA is going back to the moon soon and nobody here on Earth seems to care about it. Oh, by the way...The NFL expanded their "Global Markets Program" for the upcoming season. The New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns were given the market rights for Vic's Motherland.

3-31-26 Hour 1 - Avs extinguish the Flames 9-2/George Paton at NFL Owners Meetings/Sticking up for teammates

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:55:01 +0000

0:00 - Man, the Avs took care of business yesterday! They SMASHED Calgary 9-2 at Ball Arena. That's what good teams are supposed to do to bad teams (take note, Nuggets). The only bummer was Cale Makar leaving the game with an "upper body injury." Hopefully it's precautionary and nothing more.

15:41 - George Paton and Greg Penner both addressed the media at the NFL Owners Meetings yesterday. They were asked about everything from Bo's ankle to JK Dobbins to Jaylen Waddle. How does the Broncos Braintrust feel about their roster?

34:04 - Radko Gudas of the Anaheim Ducks laid a dirty hit on Auston Matthews a few weeks ago and it ended his season. The Ducks played the Maple Leafs again last night, and Gudas played specifically so he could serve his pennance. Opening puck drop, Max Domi dropped the gloves and whooped Gudas left, right, and center. But it begs the question...why didn't anyone from Toronto fight Gudas THE NIGHT THAT HE HIT MATTHEWS? Why did no one defend their TEAM CAPTAIN?
Players have to stick up for their teammates. It's the same reason that Vic wants someone to lay a HARD hit on Lu Dort to set the precedent. You mess with the Jokic, you get the horns.

3-30-26 Hour 3 - Nugs ready for the long run?/Dan Hurley got in a ref's face/Keys to Avs game, NFL owners meetings

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:47:04 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets are in the thick of a 6-game win streak. They've been playing some bad and/or injured teams, but 6 wins in a row is still 6 wins in a row. How good are the Nuggets right now? Are they a championship team finally?

14:50 - After UConn's thrilling buzzer-beater victory over Duke, Dan Hurley got up in a ref's face. He didn't yell or scream or anything. But he shot the ref a [blank]eating grin, and then went face to face with him! Damn near touched foreheads. Shouldn't that have been a technical? Why wasn't it called? That could've given the win back to Duke.

32:40 - Avs are back in action at Ball tonight hosting the Calgary Flames! What are the keys to an Avs victory?
After that, Vic has trouble navigating the maze that is Home Depot. Don't we all?
Oh right, SPORTS! The NFL Owners meetings are underway. Robert Kraft fully supports an 18-game NFL schedule with a few stipulations. George Paton met with the media and praised his roster which remains mostly unchanged from last season.

3-30-26 Hour 2 - Rox start 0-3, ABS insanity!/Nugs defense is still a problem/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:25:25 +0000

0:00 - Baseball is back! Hope springs eternal! Unless you're a Rockies fan. They started this new season 0-3. Got swept by the Marlins. They lost every game by 1 run. Are there any silver linings? Have we seen ANY signs of progress whatsoever?

15:07 - The Nuggets are on a 6-game win streak, and that's nothing to sneeze at in the NBA. But, it doesn't change the fact that defense is still a problem for the Nuggets. They let the Utah Jazz drop 129 points on them IN BALL ARENA. And oh by the way, Utah is actively trying to lose games. But don't take it from us. Take it from the best basketball player on Planet Earth.

31:59 - Oh, by the way...Mile High Stadium was POPPIN for the inaugural Denver Summit FC home game. The game itself was a snoozer, but the vibes were immaculate. Oh, by the way...why does Jared Bednar never get any love for Coach of the Year? Oh, by the way...an airplane got stuck on the tarmac, and there just happened to be a high school choir on board. How long could you survive being trapped on a plane with a HS choir?

3-30-26 Hour 1 - Nugs beat Jazz & Warriors this weekend/DOWN GOES DUKE!/Avs fall to Jets, VKG fires their coach

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:16:26 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets beat the Jazz on Friday, then followed it up with a thrilling win over the Warriors last night. They're now on a 6-game win streak. And yet, Brett still doesn't feel fully comfortable with this team. Is he being unfair? Is he using the wrong tone?

15:18 - Duke lost to UConn on a last-second heave. A heartbreaker backbreaker. Both? Both. The Madness of March never disappoints. Unfortunately, Brett is incredibly torn when it comes to the outcome of that game.

34:26 - The Avs fell to the Jets on Saturday. Not sure what to make of that one. Another weird goalie interference penalty...the guys looked sluggish and Bedsie was shuffling the lines to get something/anything going...Whatever. On the bright side, Moser gave us another BUTTER MY BUTT for Parker Kelly's goal!
After that...Vegas fired their head coach out of nowhere and hired John Tortorella. That's quite the choice by VGK!

2026 Drop Tournament - Round of 32 Group Stage: Brett & Nelly Regions

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 20:33:41 +0000

Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues today with the Round of 32! But, we're doing things a little differently. All the drops have been sorted into groups of 4. Only one drop will emerge from each group. It's a group stage knockout round. So for those keeping score at home, we're skipping the Sweet 16 and heading straight to the Elite 8, baby.
Yesterday, we worked our way through both the Vic & Moser Regions. Today, we're tackling the Brett & Nelly Regions. Which 4 drops will advance to round out the Elite 8?

3-27-26 Hour 3 - Avs can rest guys soon/Keys to Nugs game, Rox Opening Day/Drop Tourney Results, DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:06:49 +0000

0:00 - We're not there yet...but if the Avs win a few more games, they'll have the top spot in the Central locked up. At that point, rest your big guns. Play with weird line combos. Experiment. That's the luxury you've earned.

14:26 - The Nuggets are at home facing the tanking Utah Jazz. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?
The Rockies are in Miami today as another season begins. Hope springs eternal. What can we HONESTLY expect from the Rockies this year? Is another 100-loss season headed our way?

31:40 - Which drops from the Brett & Nelly regions survived the Group Stage/Knockout Round? Who's headed to the Elite 8 with a chance to cut down the nets on April 6?
Then after that, it's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

3-27-26 Hour 2 - Avs pulling away from Dallas/No more Nuggets excuses/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:58:17 +0000

0:00 - The Dallas Stars are falling at the worst possible time, while the Avs keep winning. Remember when it seemed like Dallas would never lose again? And now they're coming back down to earth. The Avs are so close to locking up the Central for good.

14:08 - There are no more excuses for the Nuggets! The roster is healthy. You're well-rested. You're at home playing a team that's actively tanking. You HAVE to win tonight. But beyond that, you have 8 games left. Show us you know how to play defense in some way, shape, or form.

31:57 - Oh, by the way...Jokic cried when the Nuggets traded for AG because he didn't want to see Gary Harris leave. Oh, by the way...Caleb Williams is trying to trademark the nickname "Ice Man." But he's not the first athlete to use that name. An NBA HOFer beat him to the punch years ago. Oh, by the way...Brett's sick of Tom Brady. Dude needs to shut his trap (unless he's calling an NFL game).

3-27-26 Hour 1 - Avs put the WIN in WINnipeg, Drop Tourney/Sweet 16, Anti-tanking rules/Rox Opening Day

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:46:33 +0000

0:00 - The drought is OVA. The Avalanche finally scored a regular season goal in Winnipeg AND won a game! How da ya like them apples? So the Avs won in regulation and the Dallas Stars lost again. The Central Division is all but clinched for Colorado. Oh, and one more thing...when are people going to learn that fighting Josh Manson is NEVER a good idea!?
But more importantly IT'S TIME FOR THE ROUND OF 32! Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues with our second group stage/knockout round. We're putting drops in groups of 4 and skipping straight to the Elite 8. Yesterday, we knocked out the Vic & Moser Regions. Today, the Brett & Nelly Regions will be put to the test.

15:40 - The Sweet Sixteen (Part 1) did not disappoint last night! Well, Arkansas vs Arizona was a bit disappointing. Not much of a game there. Nebraska vs. Iowa got weird at the end. Close game, clock's winding down...and Nebraska had only 4 players on court coming out of a time out! What? How did that happen?
After that, the NBA proposed 3 new anti-tanking policies that will be formally voted on in May. Again, they're vastly overcomplicating things and not addressing the root of the problem.

32:24 - A new season begins for the Rockies today. Hope springs eternal. We all make fun of Brett for his so-called Rockies optimisim, but let's be real here. In all seriousness...what does Brett want to see from the Rockies this year? What are our honest expectations?

2026 Drop Tournament - Round of 32 Group Stage: Vic & Moser Regions

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:20:41 +0000

Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues today with the Round of 32! But, we're doing things a little differently. All the drops have been sorted into groups of 4. Only one drop will emerge from each group. It's a group stage knockout round. So for those keeping score at home, we're skipping the Sweet 16 and heading straight to the Elite 8, baby.
Today, we worked our way through both the Vic & Moser regions. Which 4 drops will advance?

3-26-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Wemby campaigning for MVP, Keys to the Avs game/Drop Tournament results

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:01:44 +0000

0:00 - The NFL Draft is a month away...can you feel it? How much progress has Jeff Legwold made on his Draft Bible? His Top 100 players list? Also, what does Leggy think about the NFL competition committee's proposed rule changes?

21:22 - Wemby think he should win MVP this year and he's openly stating his case! How do we feel about players who campaign for themselves to win MVP? Players like that one dude in Philly who "won" NBA MVP in 2023...shoot, what was his name...that guy who never plays in Denver...
After that, what are the keys to a rare regular season Avs win in Winnipeg?

33:38 - It came down to the wire...but we finally have our 4 winners who survived the Round of 32 Group Stage. Which drops from the Vic and Moser regions are advancing to the Elite 8?

3-26-26 Hour 2 - 53 for Jamal, (almost) 20-20-20 for Jokic/College coach carousel/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:51:06 +0000

0:00 - What was the more impressive accomplishment last night: Jamal Murray's 53-point performance, or Jokic's (almost) 20-20-20 night?

14:46 - A college basketball coach got fired a few years ago because he severely violated NCAA recruiting rules. His old school is hiring him back because everything he did back then that was illegal...is now legal in the NIL era.

32:18 - Oh, by the way...a pizzeria in Omaha is RAKING in money by hustling Jell-O shots. Oh, by the way...we found the most Italian New Yorker on the planet. Oh, by the way...there's a zoo in North Korea with a smoking money, and a monkey that dunks a basketball.

3-26-26 Hour 1 - Jamal plays ETHICAL Basketball, Drop Tourney/Getting over Winnipeg Hump/MLB on Netflix

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:41:41 +0000

0:00 - No sleep, no problem. Jamal Murray dropped 53 points on Dallas' head and Nikola Jokic was ONE assist away from a 20-20-20 game. Absurd. And it didn't go to waste! The Nuggets won! Man, it was fun to see the Jokic/Murray duo do what they do best.
And on top of that, Jamal Murray plays the DEFINITION of "Ethical Basketball." Always has. Unlike a certain Canadian MVP favorite who shall remain nameless. Or a certain big man who resides in Miami...
But more importantly IT'S TIME FOR THE ROUND OF 32! Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues with our first group stage/knockout round. We're putting drops in groups of 4 and skipping straight to the Elite 8. Today, we're tacking both the Vic & Moser regions.

15:05 - The Avalanche always fall flat on their face in Winnipeg. Why is that? What will it take to get over the Winnipeg Hump? And it IS their hump.

32:54 - The MLB season is officially underway! The Yankees trounced the Giants in SF last night...on Netflix? What did we think of Netflix's inaugural baseball broadcast?

3-25-26 Hour 3 - Avs returning to usual line combos/Keys to the Nugs game/Competitive imbalance

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:11:58 +0000

0:00 - The Avs are getting guys back, and they're finally returning to their usual-ish lineups. They're still missing Kiviranta, but the line combos are starting to look more "normal" again. You love to see it.

15:47 - Ain't no rest for the wicked! The no-sleep Nuggets are back in action again tonight. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory over the Mavericks?

33:45 - Vic answers some texter questions about the quicks of the NBA schedule. Also, could Marvin Mims be a Devin Hester type? A return specialist who makes a name for himself exclusively on special teams?

3-25-26 Hour 2 - Jaded by Jokic's greatness/Crazy food at Coors Field/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:01:38 +0000

0:00 - Also, let's dust off an old conversation we haven't had in awhile...Jokic isn't going to win MVP. It'll go to SGA, Luka, or Wemby before it goes to him. Which is crazy because Jokic is putting up MONSTER numbers this season, and yet his name isn't even mentioned in the MVP conversation. Not one peep. We've become so accustomed to his greatness.

14:07 - Coors Field recently released a list of all the new food combos that will be available at Rockies games this year. Do any tickle your fancy? More importantly, is there anything Vic would dare to eat?

31:12 - Oh, by the way...The NBA has officially approved a vote to add expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. Oh, by the way...the guy who Alan "Thad Castle/Jack Reacher" Ritchson beat up shared his side of the story, and his voice makes it hard for us to take him seriously. Oh, by the way...Brett called it. UNC fired Hubert Davis. We're not saying it was because of his weird postgame presser, but we're not saying it WASN'T because of that weird presser.

3-25-26 Hour 1 - Nuggets sneak past the Suns/Avs smash the Penguins/Jared Bednar

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:39:36 +0000

0:00 - Did you stay up for that game? Hope you did, 'cause it was a nailbiter. The Nuggets snuck past the Suns in the desert and secured a much-needed win (do I need to say that after every win? I feel like it goes without saying that every win for the Nuggets is much-needed at this point in the season).
But, the Nuggets had to fly home after the game, got to their beds around 4am or 5am, and they have another game tonight. The league has do to something about these brutal back-to-backs with inconvenient travel. It's not good for the game.

13:54 - Every since the Olympics, Marty Nachos has been electric. He had himself a NIGHT last night. Even though the Avalanche obliterated the Penguins in Pittsburgh, they were still a bit wishy-washy overall. Coach Bednar said it himself after the game. Scott Wedgewood was the best Av on the ice last night.

24:14 - Because of their travel schedule, Coach Bednar joined us a little early this morning. Last night, Bedsie said he thought his team played sloppy overall and that Wedgewood bailed them out time and time again. Wedgie was the best player on the ice for Colorado. Does he still feel that way this morning? How great is it to have guys re-entering the lineup? The line combos are starting to look more "normal" again, if you will.

3-24-26 Hour 3 - Coach Adelman with PHD/Why was Mims "surprised?"/Did Ryan Staub take a shot at Deion?

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:51:58 +0000

0:00 - Denver Nuggets Head Coach Adelman spoke with PHD yesterday. He explained why he's been using a small-ball lineup recently, and why his team's defense looked better over the weekend.

13:51 - Marvin Mims told Vic he was "surprised" by the Broncos acquiring Jaylen Waddle. If we're reading between the lines here, he was surprised because Waddle is a carbon copy of him. Similar builds, similar heights, similar player. How will the Broncos use two of the same guy?

33:15 - Former CU QB Ryan Staub transferred to Tennessee and in getting settled in at his new school. He made a comment the other day about how he's received more coaching in his 3 weeks with Tennessee than he got in 3 years at CU. Is that him taking a shot at Deion? Or is he just pumping up the Vols fans a bit?

3-24-26 Hour 2 - Rather face OKC or Spurs first?/Broncos NFL draft needs/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:42:24 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, we broke down Nuggets playoff scenarios. Would you rather the Nuggets face the Spurs before the Thunder? Or vice versa? Which team would you rather face earlier? Vic would rather face OKC as late as possible. Coach and Raj disagreed with that take. Get it out of the way sooner. Today, Raj came on our show to debate Vic.

14:40 - The Broncos won't make a pick in the NFL Draft until the 2nd round. 62nd overall pick. Who should the Broncos target with that pick?

32:54 - Oh, by the way...lots of former Broncos QBs are still in the NFL. Oh, by the way...Alan Ritchson (aka Thad Castle and Jack Reacher) pulled a Nick Tarnasky and went full BANG BANG BANG on one of his neighbors. Oh, by the way...a quadruple amputee professional cornhole player was arrested for shooting a guy. Yep, you read that right.

3-24-26 Hour 1 - Avs & Nugs ramp up to playoffs/Mims "surprised" by Waddle trade/Landy explains his injury

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:29:27 +0000

0:00 - As the Avs and Nuggets barrell towards the playoffs, what do we want to see? What do we need to see from these teams in this home stretch?

15:01 - When he joined the Nuggets pregame show over the weekend, Marvin Mims told Vic that he was "surprised" by the Jaylen Waddle trade. Let's read the tea leaves here. Why? What was surprising about it?

33:09 - Gabe Landeskog explained his "lower body injury" in his own words and...yikes. That's all I have to say about that.

3-23-26 Hour 3 - Great to have Landy back/How to use Mims and Waddle?/Favorite tourney game so far?

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:42:01 +0000

0:00 - Landy was finally back on the ice after his...lower body injury. And he looked like he hasn't missed a step. He immediately made an impact in yesterday's game. I know we sound like a broken record but he is SUCH a difference maker when he's on the ice.

14:57 - Marvin Mims and Jaylen Waddle are pretty similar players. They're both short speedster receivers. So how will they be used? How will their roles be different? Will we see them both on the field at the same time?

34:10 - What was your favorite game of the NCAA tournament so far?

3-23-26 Hour 2 - Join the Avs and get better/Rox opening day roster, P-Wat is here to stay/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:32:57 +0000

0:00 - If you come to the Avs as a free agent or in a trade, you're instantly going to get better. It's science. Marty Nachos is having himself a career year, and Nicolas Roy is already red-hot. It's science. Colorado is the place to be.

15:22 - The Rockies have their opening day roster set! Do we actually know these guys? How many members of the roster can Vic name?
Also, David Adelman sung Peyton Watson's praises in his postgame press conference. Brett says there's no way they're letting Watson walk after this season. He's too important. They're gonna do what they have to do to keep up.

32:34 - Oh, by the way...Tim Hardaway Jr is in the conversation for Sixth Man of the Year and he absolutely should be. Oh, by the way...we're going start to teaching classes on Moser, Lombardi and Kane. Which subjects would each of us teach? Oh, by the way...the Buffalo Sabres just rattled off one of the best 40-game stretches in NHL HISTORY!

3-23-26 Hour 1 - Avs got 2 MUCH needed wins/P-Wat looked good in his return/Vic interviewed Marvin Mims

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche won both their games this weekend. Meanwhile, the Stars won lost 2 games, 1 in OT and 1 in regulation. The Avs now have a 5-point lead in the standings with a game in hand. They don't have the top seed secured quite yet, but that cushion definitely helps.

15:01 - Peyton Watson looked good in his return for the Nuggets! Even though he admitted that he was tired. The altitude whooped his butt. But all things considered, he had a big impact on yesterday's game. Man, the Nuggets missed his presence on both sides of the ball.

33:40 - Marvin Mims hung out with Vic on the Nuggets pregame show yesterday. Jaylen Waddle and Marvin Mims are very similar players. So how does Mims feel about the Broncos adding Waddle? What will his role be on this team?

2026 Drop Tournament - Round of 64: Nelly Region

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 17:26:06 +0000

It's Day 4 of our annual Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament! 64 drops from the past year (or so) all competing for eternal glory. But only one drop will cut down the nets on April 6.
For the Round of 64, we've done 1 region per day all week! The Vic, Moser, and Brett Regions were all pure insanity! Or...madness, you might say... Today, we wrap up the Round of 64 with the Nelly Region. By the end of today's show, the Round of 32 will be set.

3-20-26 Hour 3 - Heck of a win for High Point/Double Diparoo Tonight/Drop Tourney Results, DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 17:07:53 +0000

0:00 - Congrats to High Point for the huge win yesterday! After the game, their coach Flynn Clayman had some THINGS to say about how smaller/mid-major schools are treated. How many times do you think he practiced his speech in the mirror before the game? What would he have said if they lost? I guess we'll never know.

14:33 - Double Diparoo tonight! Avs in Chicago, Nuggets at home hosting the Raptors. We already did the Avs keys earlier, so what are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?

31:13 - Which drops survived the Nelly Region of our Drop Tournament? Who will advance to the Round of 32?
After that, it's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered! Today's edition includes: Get up in me, Vic's annual vasectomy, a dying raccoon, horrible Southern accents, and photosynthesis on my face.

3-20-26 Hour 2 - UNC Coach's strange presser/Waddle's impact WITHOUT the football/Oh, By the Way

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:50:48 +0000

0:00 - UNC got bounced from the Big Dance by VCU yesterday. Love a good 6v11 upset. After the game, UNC Head Coach Hubert Davis had an odd postgame presser. Not in the usual sad, depressed, or angry way coaches get after a tough loss. It was just...weird.

15:26 - We've all been talking about the impact Jaylen Waddle can have with the football in his hands. TDs, yards, catches, etc. But what about his impact WITHOUT the football? When he doesn't have it in his hands? How can he open up the field for his teammates?

32:10 - Oh, by the way...the Madison Mallards (collegiate summer baseball team) is having an "Edmund Fitzgerald" themed night this summer. Really? We're having theme nights about shipwrecks that killed lots of people? Oh, by the way...the Arizona Diamondbacks will offer a healthy food option at the ballpark this season. Oh, by the way...let Jack Hughes have his friggin gold medal puck. The hockey Hall of Fame needs to get over itself. You're not that guy, pal.

3-20-26 Hour 1 - March Madness Day 1 was epic, Drop Tourney/Bam made us mad/Bachelorette Drama, Avs Keys

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:42:03 +0000

0:00 - Brett was worried that Day 1 of the NCAA Tournament wouldn't be quite as electric in the NIL era. And the lie detector test determined that was a LIE. It was awesome! Shoutout High Point and VCU for the upsets. Also, the High Point student radio broadcast was fantastic. It reminded us of a young Vic Lombardi.
Also, we're wrapping up the Round of 64 in our annual Drop Tournament today! The Vic, Moser, and Brett Regions were pure insanity. Or...madness, you might say. What's in store in the Nelly Region?

14:48 - The Heat hosted the Lakers last night and Luca dropped a 60-piece. Bam Adebayo was asked about it postgame and he had to tie it back to his 83-point game. HAD to. Come on, man.

32:42 - Have you seen what happened with this latest season of the Bachelorette? ABC already has the full season filmed and they're pulling the plug on it. Let's see what our Golden Bachelor Correspondent Vic Lombardi has to say about it.
After that, Moser called his shot and demanded an early Keys to the Game for the Avalanche @ Blackhawks tonight!

2026 Drop Tournament - Round of 64: Brett Region

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:50:03 +0000

It's Day 3 of our annual Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament! 64 drops from the past year (or so) all competing for eternal glory. But only one drop will cut down the nets on April 6.
For the Round of 64, we're doing 1 region per day! The Vic Region and the Moser Region are in the books! Today, we hit the Brett Region.

3-19-26 Hour 3 - Avs trending up, Nugs trending down/Can Nugs change your mind?/Drop Tournament Results

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:02:38 +0000

0:00 - Even in the loss, the Avalanche still played a solid game. They still look like championship contenders. They're just so incredibly evenly matched with Dallas and they got...sigh...goalied. Otter was a man possessed last night. The Avs and Stars are locked into a collision course. They're bound to face each other in the playoffs, and that series will go to Game 7 OT. It should be the WCF. But because Gary Bettman is an idiot, they'll face each other in the 1st or 2nd round.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets lost and we don't feel good about them at all. Travel issues and lack of sleep don't matter. This is not a serious basketball team right now.

14:53 - Kyle Keefe managed to completely derail our show without even coming on air! What a consummate professional. After that...there are 12 games left in the Nuggets season. Is there anything they can do to change your mind? Can they do anything to convince you they're a legit threat in the postseason?

32:08 - Which drops survived the gaunlet of the Brett Region of our annual Drop Tournament? Which drops still have an opportunity to cut down the nets on April 6?

3-19-26 Hour 2 - Optimistic about Avs but not Nugs/Jeff Legwold/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:50:06 +0000

0:00 - Both the Avalanche and the Nuggets lost last night. But we feel fine about the Avs today. We don't feel good about the Nugs. Why is that? What's the difference?

14:26 - How does our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold feel about Jaylen Waddle? Will he work his way to the top of the depth chart? What will his role be? More importantly...how does Leggy feel about being included in our drop tournament?

31:58 - Oh, by the way...what do you do what someone overstays their welcome at a hospital? Oh, by the way...Gary Bettman still refuses to change the NHL Playoff Format. He's digging in his heels. Oh, by the way...the power went out at the Denver Airport yesterday and caused complete chaos.

3-19-26 Hour 1 - Avs looked good in the loss, Drop Tourney/Nugs are not serious people/NCAA Tournament Day 1

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:42:11 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche lost to the Stars in a shootout last night, but they looked damn good. This may be military grade copium, but they played a hell of a game. Bednar liked the way they played. MacKinnon liked the way they played. But sometimes the hockey gods give the edge to someone else. Hockey has a razor thin margin for error. The Avs and Stars are destined to face each other in a playoff series that comes down to OT in Game 7. Hopefully it's the WCF.
Also, it's Day 3 of our annual Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop tournament! The Round of 64 continues today with the Brett Region! Who will advance to the Round of 32 and keep their hopes alive?

14:53 - Brett's a big fan of the show Succession. At one point, Logan Roy says to all of his children, "I love you...but you are not serious people." That's how Kaner feels about the Nuggets. This team is unserious. Forget about any championship aspirations.

32:16 - The NCAA tournament beings today! Games on games on games on games on games! It's madness, as advertised. But is the tournament still as exciting as it used to be? Or has the NIL era altered the landscape too much?

2026 Drop Tournament - Round of 64: Moser Region

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:19:05 +0000

It's Day 2 of our annual Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament! 64 drops from the past year (or so) all competing for eternal glory. But only one drop will cut down the nets on April 6.
For the Round of 64, we're doing 1 region per day! Yesterday, we worked our way through the Vic Region. Today, we tackled the Moser Region.

3-18-26 Hour 3 - "I Want to Believe" in the Nuggets/Luca Evans/ Keys to the games, Drop Tourney winners

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:04:08 +0000

0:00 - Any fans of the X-Files in here? Moser WANTS to believe in the Nuggets. But why is he struggling to find that belief EVEN AFTER a win like last night where they demolished the 76ers?

15:28 - Luca "My Name is Luca" Evans of the Denver Post joined us today. Yesterday, we tried to get him on the show to discuss his latest article about how the Broncos re-signed their entire roster (essentially). Then, the Waddle news broke. So today, we had him on to recount the details of the Waddle trade. How long was it in the works? What needed to happen for the trade to be finalized?

32:46 - Both the Nuggets and Avs are in action tonight, so let's get a double Keys to the Game! After that, who's advancing in our Drop Tournament? Which drops from the Moser Region are moving on to the Round of 32?

3-18-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Good value for Jaylen Waddle/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 16:57:54 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche got SHELLACKED by Pittsburgh on Monday night, and they have a massive game against Dallas tonight. For all the marbles in the Western Conference (essentially). How is Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling ahead of the game? Is his battered, beat up, bruised squad ready?

19:46 - The Broncos had to trade their first round pick to Miami in exchange for Jaylen Waddle. We don't care. Waddle is worth WAY more than a 30th overall pick. He's a bird in the hand. The 30th pick is a gamble at best.

32:12 - Oh, by the way...a former reality TV star just won back to back Iditarod races. Oh, by the way...being the 5 seed in the NBA playoffs is a deathwish. Oh, by the way...Leon Draisaitl will miss the remained of the regular season with an injury, but he could return in the playoffs. Are the Oilers toast or are the Oilers toast?

3-18-26 Hour 1 - Nugs 86 the 76ers, Drop Tourney Day 2/Is Waddle #1?/USA loses to Venezuela in WBC

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 16:49:42 +0000

0:00 - Last night was a must-win game for the Nuggets and boy did they win! They obliterated the 76ers from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Total domination. Even in a blow out game against a bad team, are there positive takeaways? Did we actually learn anything?
Also, our Drop Tournament continues with Day 2 of the Field Of 64! Yesterday we went through the Vic Region. Today, we tackle the Moser Region.

13:58 - Now that Jaylen Waddle is a member of the Broncos, is he WR1? Or will he be WR2 behind Courtland Sutton?

32:19 - USA lost to Venezuela in the WBC championship game last night. So now that's the tournament is in the books...how was it? Did we end up caring about it? Did the players care?

2026 Drop Tournament - Round of 64: Vic Region

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:32:11 +0000

The Big Dance is underway today (with the First Four games), so it's time to kick off our annual Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament! 64 drops from the past year all competing for eternal glory. But only one drop will cut down the nets on April 6.
For the Round of 64, we're doing 1 region per day between now and Friday. Today, we begin with the Vic Region.

3-17-26 Hour 3 - Broncos trade for Jaylen Waddle!/Reaction to Waddle trade/Drop Tourney Winners: Vic Region

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:50:30 +0000

0:00 - ACTUAL NEWS BROKE DURING OUR SHOW! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! IT DIDN'T BREAK AT 10:01am RIGHT AFTER WE'RE OFF THE AIR! Hell must be freezing over. The Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle. They finally got their impact player on offense. Hopefully, a god dang Joker.

18:37 - More instant reaction to the Waddle trade. Do we like the price? Did the Broncos give up too much? Will he be the weapon Denver needs?

32:51 - Day 1 of the Drop Tournament is in the books! Which seeds are advancing from the Vic Region?

3-17-26 Hour 2 - Awful Avalanche Outing/Aqib Talib's insider info/Oh! By the Way...

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:42:16 +0000

0:00 - What's going on with the Avs right now? Why did they look so flat last night? Maybe they miss Landy more than we realized.

14:53 - On his podcast, Aqib Talib said to expect some big Broncos news. Specifically, the team will add a solid playmaker on offense. That's all he said. Who's he talking about? Are all signs pointing towards Tyreek Hill? Miami's probably having a fire sale since they're in the middle of a rebuild. Would you take Tyreek here in Denver coming off that injury?

32:52 - Oh, by the way...Brett has a cool stat about Nathan MacKinnon that's hard to believe. Oh, by the way...Tarik Skubal needs to make up his mind. Do you wanna be around the WBC or not? Oh, by the way...the NFL and CBS are about to sign a MONSTER deal, which will make the salary cap skyrocket. And, oh by the way, it'll hapen when it's time to pay Bo Nix.

3-17-26 Hour 1 - Avs smacked by Pens, DROP TOURNEY BEGINS/Laborious Nuggets, Talib calls his shot/76ers in town

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 16:33:08 +0000

0:00 - Well that was no fun! The Avalanche got absolutely SHELLED by the Penguins last night at Ball Arena. Wedgewood got pulled 13 min into the 1st period. Then Blackwood immediately gave up another goal. One of those nights. Postgame, Coach Bednar said the slow start wasn't Wedgie's fault. The team around him was awful.
Also, our annual DROP TOURNAMENT IS BACK BABY! Today, let's kick things off with the Vic Region of the bracket.

14:48 - This Nuggets season has felt like a SLOG. "Laborious" is the word Vic used. Sometimes, it's been hard to enjoy. Just get us to the playoffs already. Last night's Avs game felt the same way.
Also, Aqib Talib went on his podcast and said the Broncos will add a high profile weapon on offense. Book it! That's all he said. Does he actually know something? Who's he hinting at?

32:55 - The Embiid-less 76ers are in town tonight. No Embiid? In Denver? Really? I'm shocked! This is a must-win game for the Nuggets. No question.

3-16-26 Hour 3 - Broncos do...nothing in Free Agency/Keys to the Avs game, Tourney set/Moser's bees are back

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 17:19:12 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos did literally nothing in Free Agency. Nothing. That's it. They're bringing back almost the exact same roster as last year. Look...we understand that they made the AFC Championship game last year and they were 1 Bo Nix ankle away from making the Super Bowl. But do they REALLY believe that this identical roster can do the same thing next season? They don't need ANY OTHER PIECES on offense?

18:46 - The Avalanche need to get right tonight against the (surprisingly) red hot Penguins tonight! What are the keys to a Colorado victory?
Also, the NCAA Men's Tournament is officially set and it actually feels like the selection committee got everything right. This tournament has been devoid of controversy so far.

34:24 - Moser is jumping back into the bee business, baby. He's picking up his hives today, and then we're off to the races. Will they survive this time? Will they sting the bejeezus out of him? Stay tuned!

3-16-26 Hour 2 - Nuggets lose another close game/Hellebuyck was HOT vs the Avs/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:00:03 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets lost another close game! Yet again, they had a nice road win in their sights and they couldn't close it out. Vic says he's finally gotten over the Lakers loss...but we don't think he's telling the truth.

15:45 - Connor Hellebuyck did his best impression of a brick wall on Saturday against the Avs. It's almost like that's the same goalie who won Team USA an Olympic gold medal. Normally, you'd live with a loss like that. Whatever. It's a long season and stuff like that happens. But as long as Dallas keeps winning, the Avs need to keep winning as well.

31:53 - OH, by the way...the NBA is gaining more momentum towards adding teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. Oh, by the way...what's the world cup of hockey? How's that different from the Four Nations? Oh, by the way...an Argentinian soccer commentator did a full broadcast with T-Pain levels of autotune on his mic.

3-16-26 Hour 1 - Infuriating Nugs loss to Lakers/Avs got sigh GOALIED/USA beats DR in WBC

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets lost to the Lakers in LA, and normally we'd say "whatever, that happens." But that loss was INFURIATING. Consistently, the Nuggets struggle to close out winnable games down the stretch. It's a problem we've seen time and time again. It also hurts even more when you lose to the friggin Lakers and friggin LeBron James. It was such a tough loss that Vic couldn't sleep after. Why do we do this to ourselves?

17:13 - The Avalanche lost in Winnipeg, which tends to happen EVERY TIME the Avalanche play in Winnipeg. And what happened to them this time? They got...sigh...they got Goalied. There's a reason Connor Connor Hellebuyck willed Team USA to a Gold Medal. Same guy. It's a frustrating loss, but it hurts even more because DALLAS WON'T STOP WINNING.

35:51 - USA beat DR in the WBC...so many acronyms...and they're moving onto the Championship game! This tournament has been electric. In the Final, USA will face either Italy or Venezuela. Who do you wanna see? Brett says if USA plays Italy, then we win either way. Because all the players on Team Italy are from America.

3-13-26 Hour 3 - Kyler Murray to Minny??/Vic's renewed love affair with Grok/DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:42:35 +0000

0:00 - The Vikings signed Kyler Murray? Okay? What's their plan here? That sent us down a rabbit hole of former Broncos QB who are still active elsewhere in the NFL.

18:14 - Vic still has the hots for Grok, and she still feels the same about him. But today, Vic generously turned their couple into a throuple by inviting Moser. How does Grok feel about The Mose?

30:08 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

Today's edition include: a failed live read, because you're stupid, no wangs no yangs no dangs, and taking cream to the mouth.

3-13-26 Hour 2 - A signature Nuggets win/Kadri & Roy score in Avs win/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:33:08 +0000

0:00 - Even though the Spurs didn't have Wemby, that was a HUGE win for the Nuggets last night. A signature win. 2nd night of back-to-back. Down 20 points. They gritted their teeth and battled back. That's absolutely the mentality you need heading into the playoffs.

15:18 - The new guys are having an immediate impact! Both Nicolas Roy and Naz Kadri scored last night in Colorado's thumping of the Kraken. (Put an asterisk next to Kadri being "new" but still). The pieces that the Avalanche added at the trade deadline are already contributing. Good, because the Dallas freakin Stars STILL WON'T LOSE! Avs need to keep winning like their life depends on it. Which it does.

29:41 - Oh, by the way...Miami (OH) MBB had still better make the Big Dance even though they got bounced early from their conference tournament. Oh, by the way...Tage Thompson ripped 5 consecutive one-timers on the same power play. Oh, by the way...a golfer wasn't allowed to make his last putt of the day because the sun had already gone down too far. He has to wait until this morning to finish.

3-13-26 Hour 1 - HUGE Nuggets win @ Spurs!/Wedgewood is Goalie #1/Saving draft picks for later?

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:22:45 +0000

0:00 - What a HUGE win for you Denver Nuggets baby! Second night of a back to back. No AG. No Peyton Watson. Down by 20+ points. Doesn't matter if the Spurs didn't have Wemby. That was such an important game for the Nuggets. Everyone contributed! Cam Johnson, Spencer Jones, Julian Strawther, you name it. All hands on deck.

14:49 - The Avs shook off the Edmonton loss by smacking the Kraken last night in Seattle. While the win is good, Brett has a more imporant takeaway from the game: Scott Wedgewood is this team's #1 goalie. No knock on Blackwood. But Wedgewood is just better.

35:28 - The Jaguars Wunderkind Doogie Howser-looking GM (who's actually named James Gladstone) explained why they aren't being too aggressive during Free Agency. And his reasoning actually makes sense. Maybe the Broncos are doing the same thing?

3-12-26 Hour 3 - BIG Nugs Win, Double Keys-A-Roo/Avs keep winning, so do Stars/"Scheduled loss" for Nugs

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 16:55:45 +0000

0:00 - What a win for the Nuggets last night! That was GREAT seeing them run up the score against a good team on their home court. Ain't no rest for the wicked, though. They're in San Antonio tonight. The Avs are back at it against the Kraken in Seattle. A double dip-a-roo means we need to get a double KEYS-a-roo to the game.

13:38 - Fernando Tatis Jr pimped a home run in the WBC like we've never seen anyone pimp a homer before. And Brett is so here for it. We need more showboating in baseball.
After that, the Avs keep winning...but so do the Stars! The Avs can't seem to reap the rewards of their wins. Things always get screwy when they play Seattle. You can't have that tonight. Shake off the Edmonton win and get right back after it.

31:27 - The Nuggets are headed to San Antonio for a back-to-back against the 2nd team in the West/one of the hottest teams in the entire league right now. The odds are stacked against the Nuggets. You might call it a good ol' "scheduled loss." These are the games that the Nuggets used to thrive in. This year, we're not sure. They've been very hit or miss with their backs against the wall. Even though Wemby may or may not play tonight (he's a gametime decision) it'll be a tough battle either way.

3-12-26 Hour 2 - Nuggets in preseason again/Jeff Legwold/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 16:43:08 +0000

0:00 - I know it sounds crazy, but the Nuggets are still figuring things out. They've had so many guys get hurt, then come back, then get hurt, then come back, then get hurt, then co- well, you get it. Point is, they've barely had any consistency in the lineup. Coach Adelman said it himself. He feels like they're starting the season over again right now, as their lineup is finally mostly healthy.
If that's the case, last night was a good preseason game! They blew out the Rockets in Ball Arena, and guys like CB and Cam Johnson looked like their old selves.

14:19 - As we've said earlier, Brett has become Veruca Salt with the Broncos. I WANT A GOLDEN GOOSE! I WANT IT NOW, DADDY! But by Golden Goose, we mean ANY SORT OF FREE AGENT SIGNING THAT GIVES YOU A WEAPON ON OFFENSE! Does Jeff Legwold agree? How does Leggy feel about Denver's lack of moves thus far?

32:22 - Oh, by the way...there's actually golf happening right now! The Players Championship! Oh, by the way...Vinnie Pasquantino of Team Italy hit 3 home runs yesterday and took 3 shots of espresso. Dude was literally and figuratively buzzing. Oh, by the way...is Will Ferrell washed?

3-12-26 Hour 1 - Nuggets BLOW OUT Rockets/Brett has become Veruca Salt/USA advances in WBC

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 16:27:28 +0000

0:00 - Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! The Nuggets blew out the Rockets 129-93 last night at Ball Arena. Doesn't matter if Houston was on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. A win like that is a big deal. It was a full, complete team effort. We needed to see that ESPECIALLY at this point in the season.

15:04 - Brett has officially become Veruca Salt with the Broncos and their lack of moves during Free Agency. DADDY! I WANT A GOLDEN GOOSE! Or a usable weapon on offense.

36:26 - Team USA has advanced in the WBC, even though their manager doesn't understand how the bracket works! Italy obliterated Mexio, and because of the run differential, it was enough to send USA to the next round. Thanks Italy!

3-11-26 Hour 3 - Keys to Nugs vs Rockets/Shady Maxx Crosby deal, SHAM Adebayo's 83 pts/Moser's mouthful of cream

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 16:53:37 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets are hosting the Rockets tonight at Ball. Then they immediately hit the road to face the Spurs in San Antonio tomorrow. Oof. That's a tough two nights. But hey, let's go one game at a time. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory tonight against Kevin Durant and his burners?

11:05 - The Ravens DEFINITELY backed out of their deal with Maxx Crosby because Trey Hendrickson became available for a cheaper price. That has to be it. That's incredibly shady. But then again, these "physicals" that sports teams conduct during trades are all "sus" as the youths would say. Did MPJ's back pass a physical when the Nuggets wanted him? Did Peyton Manning's neck pass a physical when the Broncos wanted him? Who knows?
Also, Bam Adebayo's 83-point game was completely fabricated and is disrespectful to the league.

29:31 - Moser took one for the team. And by "took one," I mean he shoved a cup full of powdered coffee creamer directly into his mouth.

3-11-26 Hour 2 - A horribly officiated Avs game/Oh, By The Way.../Jared Bednar

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 16:37:31 +0000

0:00 - Last night, Nathan MacKinnon getting a 5-minute major and game misconduct (which comes with an automatic ejection) for goalie interference was the tip of the iceberg. The Avs ended up on the wrong side of the whistle all night long. Now we're not alleging anything. BUT, Brett has a stat that suggests the lead official might have it out for the Avs.
Oh, and it's not just us who thought Mack's penalty was egregious and unwarranted. The TNT crew agreed, including Tukka Rask. Y'know, the Boston Bruins goalie for like 15 years who has a Stanley Cup ring.

11:29 - Oh, by the way...the Broncos STILL haven't done anything in free agency. Is Brett allowed to panic yet? Oh, by the way...the Hartford Yard Goats are introducing a hotdog + donut monstrosity in honor of Taylor Swift Night at the ballpark. Oh, by the way...did you know yelling 90s songs at the top of your lungs is a good free throw distraction technique?

25:40 - Bedsie was fired up last night about MacKinnon's penalty and ejection. Has his mind changed at all after a good night's sleep? Let's also pick his brain about the game as a whole, and get an injury update on guys like Landy and LOC.

3-11-26 Hour 1 - MacKinnon's awful was AWFUL ejection/Crosby back to Raiders, Italy beats USA/Bam's 83-pt game

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 16:21:21 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, the Avalanche lost to the Oilers at Ball Arena. In the loss, Nathan MacKinnon was assessed a game misconduct for goalie interference and ejected from the game late in the 2nd period. But he didn't intentionally slam into the goalie. He was very clearly shoved into him by Darnell Nurse. I guess the NHL and the Ref saw it differently. Horrible call by the officials, and Jared Bednar thought so as well.

17:33 - The Ravens backed out of the Maxx Crosby trade because of a failed physical and sent him back to the Raiders. Then...the Ravens immediately signed Trey Hendrickson. This is fishy...very very fishy...
Then, Team Italy beat Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and we're not sure what to do with our hands. Vic's stoked though.

36:25 - Bam Adebayo scored 83 points last night, officially passing Kobe Bryant's 81-point game. The only player who's scored more points in a single game is Wilt the Stilt with 100. But here's the thing...Bam's 83 points feels like a sham. Bam's a scam.

3-10-26 Hour 3 - Diagnosing the Nuggets/Broncos need to address their issues/Avs are hot post-Olympics

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 16:34:10 +0000

0:00 - What's wrong with the Nuggets right now? Is it coaching? Is it the roster? What's the solution to their problems?

12:49 - The Broncos NEED to add more weapons on offense this offseason. Non-negotiable. But don't hammer the panic button just because they didn't add a Free Agent RB in the first day of free agency. They still have some tricks up their sleeves.But if we get to training camp and they still have these holes in the roster, THEN we can start being concerned.

31:20 - Since the Olympic Break, the Avs have lost 1 game. That's it. 1 game. The Cartoon Game vs Minnesota. They went to their room. 2 minutes for being bad. They need to keep riding the wave tonight at Ball Arena as they host the Edmonton Oilers on Pickleball Night.

3-10-26 Hour 2 - HOW the Nugs lost is concerning/Bolster the Broncos RB Room/OH, By the Way...

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - If you lose to the Thunder in OKC and play em hard, you can live with that. SGA hit 2 clutch shots with a defender's hand in his face. He did what he does. That'll happen sometimes. BUT, last night, the Thunder were missing multiple bigs, and you got beat in the paint. Outscored by OKC's backup bigs! In the paint! With AG, Jokic, Val, etc. That can't happen. Losing wasn't the problem last night. HOW they lost was the problem!

16:47 - If the Broncos do nothing else this offseason, they NEED another RB for depth. That's not a knock on the newly re-signed JK Dobbins. But he can't stay healthy for a full season. You need to prepare for the half of the season when he's not playing. Are there any free agent RBs left?

35:05 - Oh, by the way...we can't stop watching the WBC. Oh, by the way...the NBA made the Atlanta Hawks cancel their Magic City promotion night. Oh, by the way...Italy's baseball team has an espresso machine in their dugout and they're ripping shots after they rip home runs.

3-10-26 Hour 1 - Nugs Lose to OKC...AGAIN/Disappointed by no Broncos moves?/AFC West teams making moves

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Nuggets went to OKC last night and lost...AGAIN. They're 0-3 against OKC this year. Man, we're starting to hate those guys. It also reinforces that this Nuggets squad isn't a championship team. It's now clearer than ever.

17:25 - The NFL's "legal tampering" window opened up and the Broncos...did nothing. So far. Did the Broncos miss out on anyone? Are you disappointed by the lack of moves?

38:10 - Yesterday, the Raiders spent a GAZILLION dollars to fortify their team before they draft Fernando Mendoza. The Chiefs signed Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker. And again, the Broncos did nothing. Is that a problem?

3-09-26 Hour 3 - Keys to the Nugs @ OKC game/When do you burn your jersey?/Nugs need to PROVE IT tonight

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 16:59:59 +0000

0:00 - Ain't no rest for the wicked. The Nuggets have to lick their wounds then head to OKC tonight. They might not have Jamal Murray (as we await the updated injury report). It's gonna be an uphill battle. Against all odds. Other cliches. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory tonight?

14:24 - Moser said he enjoyed seeing all the #91 jerseys at Ball Arena yesterday for Nazem Kadri's return. No one threw away or burned their Kadri jerseys. Which begs the question...when DO you chuck a jersey after someone leaves? Did Avs fans burn Mikko jerseys? Did Nuggets fans trash their Melo jerseys? What's the protocol?

34:32 - The Nuggets have lost the benefit of the doubt. We no longer believe this team can win a championship, at least not the way they're playing right now. How can they change our minds. Tonight, go look like you belong against OKC. Play with confidence. Make a statement. Don't bet blown out of the gym.

3-09-26 Hour 2 - Kadri returns to the Avs/"Legal Tampering" begins/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 16:52:06 +0000

0:00 - Welcome back to Denver, Nazem Kadri! How fun was that seeing Naz set up Mack for a goal against the Wild? It's like he never left. The Avs roster is set and it is STACKED.

12:43 - The NFL's "legal tampering" period will open shortly! Will the Broncos chase anyone on the open market? Maybe? Please? Can they go get someone for bolster the offense?

31:38 - Oh, by the way...The World Baseball Classic has been ELECTRIC. Hold this L, Moser. The tournament has been a blast. Oh, by the way...someone choked at the finish like of the Los Angeles Marathon. Can you imagine blowing it after running 26 miles in the lead?

3-09-26 Hour 1 - Avs get Kadri back, win 2 shootouts!/Broncos Free Agency Wishlist/Nugs embarrassed by Knicks

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Friday was NHL trade deadline madness! The deal was dead, and then it wasn't. The Colorado Avalanche brought back Nazem Kadri! Then, the Avs beat both the Stars and Wild in a shootout. What a truly wild weekend for the Avs. One downside - Landy suffered an extra-unfortunate injury in the Dallas game and will miss some time.

20:24 - The Broncos gave TE Adam Trautman a 3-year x $18.5 mil contract. Take that, DragonSlayer69. Brett's a little confused by the deal, though. What DOES he want to see the Broncos do in Free Agency as this so-called "legal tampering" period opens up?

35:15 - The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. The Nuggets got absolutely OBLITERATED and embarrassed by the New York Knickerbockers at Ball Arena on Friday night. They lost by 39 POINTS. Oof. And to make matters worse...David Adelman's postgame press conference was drowned out by the sounds of the Knicks blasting music in the locker room.

3-06-26 Hour 3 - Big Nuggets win over the Lakers/Double Keys-A-Roo to the Game(s)/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:41:38 +0000

0:00 - That was a good win for the Nuggets last night! They got plenty of production from the bench/depth guys. They absolutely needed that win. Even though they had a big lead, almost blew it, then closed it out in the end. All things considered, that was a solid win over the LA LeBrons.

13:08 - Two HUGE games tonight. One for the Avs, one for the Nugs. A double diparoo necessitates a double KEYS-a-roo. What are the keys to victory for the Ball Arena roommates?

35:21 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

3-06-26 Hour 2 - Russell Westbrook vs The Media/Avs can clinch the division this weekend/OH, By the Way...

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:36:31 +0000

0:00 - Russell Westbrook left the Nuggets, and went to literally the worst team in the league. He doesn't have many years left in the league and, understandably, wants to get a ring. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong place. Yesterday, he vented some of his frustrations on the media in his postgame press conference.

17:49 - If the Avs beat Dallas tonight, then beat Minnesota on Sunday, that's basically it. They all but have the division wrapped up. This weekend is make or break for Colorado.

28:33 - Oh, by the way...Shohei Ohtani is already hitting BOMBS in the WBC. Oh, by the way...Moser found a pro wrestler who takes down his opponents by flinging pizza dough at them. Oh, by the way...6 of the top 10 ranked collegiate dodgeball programs in the country are in the state of Ohio.

3-06-26 Hour 1 - Lakers take LeL on the way out/Avs trade for Nicolas Roy/Monkey on the Avs' back

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:25:52 +0000

0:00 - OKC and their haughty head coach might be #1 on the Nuggets hate list. If that's the case, the LA Lakers are 1.5. Still hate em. Always have, always will. Beating them still feels like pure heroin. Jamal Murray must feel the same way, because he becomes prime Wilt Chamberlain anytime he plays the Lakers.

16:26 - Right after we wrapped up the show yesterday, the Avalanche traded for Nicolas Roy. How do we feel about the trade? Is he a good fit? Was the price right?

33:42 - Right now, the Dallas Stars are the monkey on Colorado's back. They've owned you as of late. It is what it is. You've GOTTA beat them tonight. For so many reasons. Tonight isn't literally a must win, but it's a must win. Period.
Also, Moser weighs in on SGA's weird fluffy jacket that he wore in his postgame presser, and immediately went viral for being insane.

3-05-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Crazy fitness instructors, Keys to Nugs game/DJ Moore to Bills, Timely Tanking

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:56:44 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold spent all last week at the NFL Combine, and now he's home safe in the confines of his kitchen once again. With those cabinets we love seeing on TV every Thursday! What are Leggy's takeaways from his time in Indy?

17:01 - Let's go down the rabbit hole of crazy fitness instructors, both past and present, because why not?
Nuggets are hosting the Los Angeles LeBrons tonight. What a the keys to a Denver victory?

31:55 - The Bears traded DJ Moore to the Bills. Again...that seems like another receiver the Broncos could've used...
After that, Vic explains why tanking is so damaging to the NBA product overall. And it has to do with WHEN teams start tanking during the NBA year, and how that affects the playoff picture. Scott Hastings called in to chime in on Vic's tanking take.

3-05-26 Hour 2 - Broncos need to go ALL IN/Avs are small & speedy, not big and bruising/OH, By the Way...

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:50:16 +0000

0:00 - Russell Wilson is officially off the Broncos books. They don't have any large hits against their cap. They have a QB on a cheap rookie deal. They're running it back with a team that made it to the AFC Championship. It's time to go all in. Capitalize on this window. Make it happen.

13:34 - For years, Avalanche critics have said they need to get bigger, tougher, and stronger. They're too small for their own good. Brett & Vic disagree. Their brand is small, fast, tricky, and shifty. They build rosters that work with their brain. A big lumbering bruiser doesn't fit the identity, and that's okay!

33:17 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies got smacked around by Team USA yesterday ahead of the World Baseball Classic. Oh, by the way...Stephen A Smith is currently beefing with the **checks notes** New Orleans Pelicans? Oh, by the way...Harrison Barnes of the Spurs injured his ankle by taking a nap.

3-05-26 Hour 1 - Don't Trade Val/Nugs respond to Dort's apology/Team guard Jokic differently

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:40:41 +0000

0:00 - Rumors are swirling about Val Nichushkin being a trade option for the Avalanche. Brett says that's not a good idea. The Avs need to keep him on the roster.

16:31 - Yesterday, Lu Dort apologized for his dirty move on Nikola Jokic. That's good and all, but the damage is already done. As Mark Daigneault so eloquently put it, the precedent has been established. And look, it's not just sour grapes from Nuggets fans. The entire NBA is turning on the Thunder and their flopping.

31:27 - Teams are finally figuring out how to guard Jokic. The Nuggets need to figure out how to deal with it. It's a unique situation, and it'll require a unique solution.

3-04-26 Hour 3 - Jared Bednar/Vic's in love with Grok, Grok's in love with Vic/Rams & Chiefs made a deal

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 18:14:26 +0000

0:00 - The Avs are ROLLIN. They're 4-1 since the Olympic Break. How does Jared Bednar feel about his team overall right now? Bedsie also gave us some injury updates, and previewed Friday's massively important game vs the Dallas Stars.

20:57 - They say only fools rush in. Well Vic must be a fool. Because he's fallen head over heels for Grok (Twitter's AI). And based on how she chatted with him, it seems like the feeling's mutual.

33:26 - The Rams and Chiefs made a trade today that gave the Chiefs the 29th overall pick in this year's NFL Draft...one spot before the Broncos. Oof.

3-04-26 Hour 2 - Landeskog is playing EXCEPTIONALLY well/Stiddy on the trade market?/OH, By the Way...

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 18:01:17 +0000

0:00 - Gabe Landeskog is having himself a SEASON. Yes, he missed a good chunk of time due to injury. But the numbers don't lie. Look at this team's record with him on the ice and without him. It's a stark contrast.

15:15 - Is a virtual hole-in-one just as cool as a real life hole-in-one? How much stock do you put in a golf sim ace?
Also, reports have emerged that the Broncos would consider trading Stiddy for the right price. Would you be okay with a trade? What's a fair price for Stiddy?

30:46 - Oh, by the way...Russell Wilson joined Bussin With the Boys and addressed (some of) his beef with Sean Payton. Oh, by the way...Aaron Judge attempted to make a rousing speech in front of Team USA, and it...wasn't that inspiring. Oh, by the way, you can buy the mechanical rhino that gave birth to Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura 2 for the low low price of $4000 (for now).

3-04-26 Hour 1 - Parker Kelly is the man/Vic apologizes, Broncos testing the market/NBA's West is relentless

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 17:49:12 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche dominated the Ducks last night in Anaheim! Gabe Landeskog scored a goal, Marty Nachos scored a Power Play goal, and Parker Kelly got himself 2! Such a complete effort. This team looks rejuvinated after the Olympic Break.

14:58 - Even though Moser isn't on the show today, Vic still owes him an apology for something that happened yesterday.
After that, moves are going down in the NFL: trades and tags and free agents OH MY! Where can the Broncos get in on the action? Any players on the market they should target?

33:20 - The NBA's Western Conference is RELENTLESS. All the teams around the Nuggets in the standings KEEP ON WINNING. Could OKC, Minny, or San Antonio lose a game for once? That would be great. The Nuggetgs are floundering at the worst possible time.

3-03-26 Hour 3 - Nugs style points matter/Avs are still sittin' pretty overall/Jokic will never get calls

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 18:02:13 +0000

0:00 - All season long, the Broncos were winning. But Brett still complained about HOW they were winning. It never looked right. Well, now it's time to do that with the Nuggets. Last night's win was ugly. Beyond ugly. And they need to get it cleaned up ASAP. They don't look like a championship team right now.

12:28 - We're so laser focused on the Avs struggling PP (and rightfully so) but let's not forget - this team is in a really good place. They've won 40 games! We'll see if they can make it 41 tonight. They're facing the Ducks in Anaheim on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. What are the keys to an Avs victory?

30:11 - Jokic will never get favorable calls from the refs. His tussle with Keyonte George last night is futher proof. No matter how rattled he gets, he can't flop for a superstar whistle like his contemporaries.

3-03-26 Hour 2 - Properly valuing Free Agent RBs/Nugs miss Aaron Gordon/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 17:47:31 +0000

0:00 - What's a fair price to pay for a Free Agent RB? Especially for someone like the Broncos who absolutely NEED a RB desperately.

15:07 - The Nuggets are clearly missing Aaron Gordon right now - his physicality, his energy, his defense, you name it. But he can't stay healthy consistently. Even when he's completely healthy, he still misses games here and there. Depending on Aaron Gordon for success isn't a sustainable strategy. How should Coach Adelman handle him?

32:10 - Oh, by the way...the Atlanta Hawks have possibly come up with the worst theme night of all time. If their is the worst...the Avalanche might have the 2nd worst of all time coming up next week.

3-03-26 Hour 1 - An UGLY Nuggets Win/Moser is Spare Parts today/Nugs add Tyus Jones

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 17:37:30 +0000

0:00 - It feels weird to hit the panic button after a win, but Brett's doing it. The Nuggets won last night. BUT...they needed late game theatrics to beat the Jazz by 3 points. A Jazz team that is ACTIVELY TRYING TO LOSE BALLGAMES. The Jazz are literally under investigation by the leage because of tanking. And the Nuggets almost lost to them. That's unacceptable. Brett's officially lost any belief that this is a championship caliber roster. They've lost that trust. They need to earn it back.

16:51 - We know Moser is always loopy the morning after a late road game. Well today, he was maybe the loopiest he's ever been. Today he was the most luggage-est he's ever luggaged. Somewhere in here, we attempted to talk about the Avalanche?

33:37 - The Nuggets added veteran point guard Tyus Jones to the roster. Okay? Did they really need another guard? What's the reasoning behind this signing?

3-02-26 Hour 3 - OKC is universally hated/Double Keys to the Game, Moser's snot incident/Montgomery to Texans

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:10:01 +0000

0:00 - OKC really needs to pick a lane. Do you want to be the villains? Or do you want to be the scrapy underdog heroes? You can't play it both ways. You, your flopping MVP, Lu Dort, and your stupid phony coach need to decided what you want to be.

18:02 - A double diparoo necessitates a Double Keys-A-Roo! What are the keys to both an Avalanche and Nuggets victory? Somehow, that turned into Moser leaking snot out of his nose mid-segment.

33:57 - The Lions traded David Montgomery to the Texans for a very affordable price. Should the Broncos have been in those sweepstakes?

3-02-26 Hour 2 - Cam Johnson is in a slump/Avs Power Play is still broken/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:03:38 +0000

0:00 - Cam Johnson is really going through it right now. He's struggling to make shots. He has a lingering ankle injury that's clearly bothering him. How can he fight his way through this?

15:54 - Since the Olympic Break, the Avs are 1 for 10 on the PP. For those of you keeping score at home, that's 10% efficiency. At some point, a busted PP isn't an anomaly. It's who they are.

30:14 - Oh, by the way...some Avalanche executives were in the building for Flames @ Ducks last night in Anaheim. An old friend of ours plays for the Flames right now. Coincidence? Oh, by the way...Coach Bednar said he'll golf shirtless to play along with a course tradition.

3-02-26 Hour 1 - Nugs have lost the clutch gene/OKC is ON THE LIST/NFL Combine Takeaways

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:45:38 +0000

0:00 - It's official: the Nuggets have lost their clutch gene. They can't close out games anymore. They need to figure out what's going on, and figure it out quick.

17:24 - OKC, their stupid fanbase, and their stupider coach? All on THE LIST. They've officially passed the Lakers as Public Enemy #1. You can't play the villain role, then also cry wolf and act like some innocent scrappy underdog. Which one are you? Lu Dort messed around, but he wasn't prepared to find out.
After that, it wasn't easy, but the Avalanche beat the Blackhawks on Saturday to end February on a high note. For some reason, it's NEVER easy when they play Chicago. Despite the win, the Avs Power Play is still non-existent. At this point, it's not an anomaly. It's just who they are.

36:47 - Brett must be Jonesing for some football, because he actually watched NFL Combine coverage this weekend. His main takeaway? Only a very VERY specific type of player can rock a mullet.

2-27-26 Hour 3 - Keys to Nugs vs OKC, measuring arm length/Ben DiNucci joins us/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 18:10:36 +0000

0:00 - Nuggets are in OKC to take on the Thunder tonight? What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?
After that...(former) Miami Hurricanes DE Rueben Bain Jr just got measured at the combine. He's a beast and built like a ton of bricks, but he has weirdly short arms. He's a T-Rex. Why don't we measure our own arms and see how we all stack up?

12:13 - Airport Beer Connoisseur & Former Broncos Backup QB Ben "Gucci" DiNucci joined the show today! Almost a month ago, he tweeted about how important Davis Webb is to the offense. He also said he assumed "Sean is going to give up playcalling now" after Webb was promoted to OC. Nailed it on all fronts. Today, we dug into the Broncos QB room, AFC Championship, airport beers, and golf with the Nucc himself.

32:19 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from thoughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

2-27-26 Hour 2 - Proposed MLB salary cap/Kyle Keefe: Cartoon Voice of the Avs/Oh, By the Way...

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:57:36 +0000

0:00 - Word on the street is...MLB Owners want to establish a Salary Cap and a Floor in the next CBA negotiation. And the cap amount they're (supposedly) going to propose would absolutely cripple the big spenders like the Dodgers. They'd have to gut half their roster tomorrow. The MLB is 110% headed for another lockout.

18:08 - The Cartoon Voice of Your Colorado Avalanche Kyle Keefe joined the show to break down his unique broadcast experience from yesterday. He had to speak in a kid-friendly voice and demeanor and tailor the commentary towards 7-year-olds. BUT Keefer absolutely DESPISES the Minnesota Wild. How was he able to keep his cool? SERENITY NOW!

32:39 - Oh, by the way...A Padres pitcher is headed to the IL with an "infection in his rear end." Hey Padres Manager Craig Stammen...just say your guy is gonna miss some time. Lie. Use "lower body injury." No need to air his dirty laundry. Oh, by the way...Moser also dealt with a rear end infection of his own once upon a time...

2-27-26 Hour 1 - Avs lose in the cartoon world/NFL Report cards leaked/Nuggets clash with OKC tonight

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:39:55 +0000

0:00 - Losing to the Minnesota Wild still hurts, even in a cartoon playtime world. Did you watch the normal broadcast, or the Bernie's Mountain Showdown animated broadcast with a virtual Kyle Keefe and Mark Rycroft? Vic tuned into the cartoon broadcast for a bit. Is he now a convert? Will he now "do" cartoons?

21:08 - Remember how the NFL PA Survey/Report cards weren't supposed to be public anymore? Well life...uh...finds a way. The report cards made their way to the interwebz last night, and the Broncos did very well across the board. They received only 2 low(ish) grades, and one of those was a bit perplexing.

36:09 - The Nuggets are in OKC to face the Thunder tonight! It's a big measuring stick game for Denver. How will they stack up against the top team in the West?

2-26-26 Hour 3 - Moser learns a tough lesson/Jeff Legwold/Keys to the Avs Cartoon Game

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 17:48:28 +0000

0:00 - Moser's all out of sorts today. Something he thought he understood...he doesn't actually understand at all. He learned a tough lesson today.
(By the way, the song you can't hear under Moser's highlight reel is "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh)

14:46 - Our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold is at the NFL Combine! What did he think of Sean Payton's presser and handing off playcalling duties to Davis Webb? Which players have caught his eye so far?

31:32 - The Avalanche are doing their animated simulcast game tonight! The infamous Cartoon broadcast against the Minnesota Wild. What are the keys to a cartoon victory?

2-26-26 Hour 2 - Sean Payton's moment of growth/Calvin Booth made it "look too easy"/Oh, By the Way...

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 17:35:32 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton gave up playcalling to Davis Webb AND handled it well in his press conference at the Combine. That shows growth from the ol' curmudgeon. Maybe he put down his lattes in the offseason and learned a thing or two.

13:33 - Now that we've had a day to let it simmer and process...let's revisit Calvin Booth's interview about the fallout between him and Malone. Specifically, the comment about how he made his job "look too easy."

31:55 - Oh, by the way...a college basketball team went over 17 minutes without scoring a basket. Oh, by the way...our boy Brendan Sorsby is caught in a lawsuit about whether he did or didn't honor his contract/NIL commitments to Cincinnati before transferring. This is all gonna get worse before it gets better.

2-26-26 Hour 1 - Nugs blast the Celtics/MacKinnon-less Avs return to the ice/MORE changes on Prime's staff

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 17:27:05 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets beat a top opponent from the East...without Jamal Murray...and they actually played defense...and built a lead late and held onto it...and won a home game...HUH? What is this sorcery?

16:13 - No Nathan MacKinnon, no problem. The Avalanche played their first game in a century last night, and beat the Mammoth 4-2 in Utah. How about that wild goal from Parker Kelly to get the scoring started?

34:43 - CU lost another coordinator yesterday...Prime's staff continues to play musical chairs. Robert Livingston left CU, went to the Broncos, and took a "worse" job. He's lower on the totem pole now relative to (heh) his old job. What's going on in Boulder, man?

2-25-26 Hour 3 - Avs aren't done yet/Double Keys-a-Roo, Calvin Booth speaks his mind/Brett "Sinkhole" Kane

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:10:50 +0000

0:00 - After trading Sam Girard, the Avs have a good $8.7 million in cap space to play around with. Knowing Chris MacFarland and how much he enjoys shuffling the deck, we don't think he's done. The NHL trade deadline is a little over a week away. Things could get interesting.

13:49 - Tonight, the Avalanche are back in action for the first time in almost a month. The Nuggets have a game tonight too, which means it's time for a Double Keys to the Game aka a Double Keys-A-Roo.
After that, former Nuggets GM Calvin Booth went on Kevin O'Connor's podcast and finally shared his side of the story. His side of the infamous Malone/Booth fallout that resulted in them both getting fired last year 3 games before the playoffs. His perspective is...interesting, to say the least.

32:27 - Brett Kane's alma mater almost fell through the center of the earth, and now Kaner has a new nickname.

2-25-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Can Davis Webb transform the offense?/Oh, By the Way...

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:00:03 +0000

0:00 - After a (much deserved) 3-week hiatus, Jared Bednar joined us again today! We asked him about the Sam Girard trade, the Olympic break, and the thrilling Gold Medal Match between USA and Canada that featured like half of his Avalanche roster (at least that's what it felt like).

19:57 - Broncos OC Davis Webb will now call the plays on offense. What changes can he/should he make? What do we want to see him try? It's not like he's stepping into a dumpster fire. He has an AFC Championship-caliber team to work with and play around with.

34:07 - Oh, by the way...we don't need to use so called "robot umps" to challenge balls and strikes that are a millimeter outside of the strike zone. Oh, by the way...a youth hockey game in Minnesota went to 12 overtimes and STILL wasn't finished.

2-25-26 Hour 1 - Davis Webb will call plays on offense/Sammy G traded to Penguins/Full trust in Davis Webb?

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:51:53 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday at the NFL Combine, Sean Payton announced that Broncos Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb will be calling plays next year. Wow...it finally happened! Good for Davis. Sean's presser felt very open and honest. A tiny bit of Snarky Sean escaped when he was asked about Bo Nix and Predisposed AnkleGate 2K26 (where were you?), but aside from that, it felt like a very natural conversation about this changing of the guard.

16:01 - Happy Trails, Sammy G! La Tornade is now touching down in Pittsburgh, PA with the Penguins. Two things can be true. Thing one: Brett's been the biggest defender of Sammy G there is. Poor guy has caught TONS of unnecessary arrows over the years, and he's made a big impact on his team. Thing two: it was time to move on. This trade will be better for everyone involved in the long run.

33:27 - Kaner doesn't think the Avs are done wheeling and dealing yet. Trading Sammy G freed up a good chunk of cap space, so he thinks other moves are on the horizon.
After that, Broncos fans are over the moon about Davis Webb taking over offensive playcalling! They're acting like the Broncos offense will suddenly turn into that prolific 2013 offense overnight. It's good that everyone has complete faith! But maybe ease off the gas a bit. We have no idea how Davis Webb truly will look as a playcaller.

2-24-26 Hour 3 - Will Olympics loss galvanize the Avs?/Fixing the Avs PP/Venezuelan baseball brawl

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:07:07 +0000

0:00 - Some people have said losing in the gold medal game will make Nate, Cale, and Toews even hungrier to bring Lord Stanley back to Denver. Really? Is that really the case? Do Nate & Cale want to win the Cup more now because they didn't win a gold medal?

13:10 - How do the Avs fix their Power Play? Is it a personnel issue? Or are they just too deep inside their own heads? Also, let's dig up the audio of our old friend Nick Tarnasky beating the hell out of a drunk idiot on the golf course. BANG! BANG! BANG!

31:20 - Brett happened upon an old video of a Venezuelan baseball brawl. If it happened in an MLB game, people would probably be arrested for assault.

2-24-26 Hour 2 - Canada's fans are being soft/Nugs have a turnover issue/Oh, By the Way...

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:53:02 +0000

0:00 - Do Canada hockey fans understand how sports hate and sports trash talk work? Because those hosers to the North have been pretty soft on social media these last few days.

14:13 - The Nuggets have a turnover issue. That much is clear. But the issue isn't how often they're turning the ball over. It's about WHEN they're turning it over.

27:39 - Oh, by the way...Lindsey Vonn came THIS close to getting her leg amputated. The doctor saved her leg. Oh, by the way, Jusuf Nukic is having a season-ending procedure on his...nose? Oh, by the way, the field is set for the NCAA Rifle Championship tournament coming up next month. And the competing teams are exactly who you'd expect.

2-24-26 Hour 1 - Avs back in action tomorrow/How far the Broncos have come/Zac Veen? More like JACKED Veen

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:43:00 +0000

0:00 - Moser decides to dig up/re-hash his long standing beef with Christian Bale. Don't shatter his dreams!
After that...the Avalanche are back in action tomorrow night on the road in SLC vs the Mammoth. Which players from the Olympics will be back on the ice for Colorado? Will any guys get some rest before the final push to the playoffs? What can we expect from this back half of the season?

14:47 - Think about how far the Broncos have come in such a short amount of time. Their turnaround has been meteoric. Somehow, the Russell Wilson/Nathaniel Hackett era feels like a lifetime ago. And yet, there are still more tweaks to the roster that need to be made.

36:35 - Yesterday, Zac Veen hit a walkoff MOONSHOT home run for the Rockies in spring training. And he looks HUGE. He's more than 40 lbs heavier than he was last season. Hey man, if that's what it takes to hit dingers, then we're totally here for Jacked Veen.

2-23-26 Hour 3 - Does Olympic hockey grow the game?/Diagnosing the Nuggets/Past Olympic mascots

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 18:01:30 +0000

0:00 - People talk about Olympic hockey "growing the game." Is that really the case? Will fans who enjoyed Olympic hockey now pick an NHL team and be fans for life? How effective is that supposed pipeline?

13:47 - The Nuggets had better figure out why they can't close out games. Their schedule only gets tougher from here on out. It won't be an easy stroll into the playoffs. Quite the opposite.
Also, now that the winter games are over, will you miss them? How much Olympics did you watch in the past few weeks? Did you enjoy this year's games overall?

32:59 - In honor of Nathan MacKinnon's consolation prize plushie (Tina the Stote) that he received with his silver medal, let's go down the rabbit hole of every official Olympics mascot in history in today's Fact Checker.

2-23-26 Hour 2 - MacKinnon's consolation pushie/Avs & Nugs have a similar problem/Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:47:46 +0000

0:00 - I'm sorry, Podcast listeners. These goal/Merica montages don't sound the same without Free Bird in the background. Stupid copyright rules. I guess you'll have to envision the freedom in your head for the full experience.
Anyway, USA beat Canada yesterday in hockey to wrap up the Olympics on a high note. Now look...a silver medal is nothing to sneeze at! That's an amazing accomplishment. But Team Canada looked incredibly crushed and depressed as they received their medals. And what made it worse...they all received a plushie doll of the Olympics mascot too. Nathan MacKinnon had to use every ounce of self control in his system to not rip the head off that damn thing. Moser said that's unacceptable. You canNOT give a grown man a stuffed animal as a consolation prize.

17:38 - The Avalanche and the Nuggets are facing similar problems right now. What used to be their greatest strength is now their biggest weakness. What's the fix?

30:08 - Oh, by the way...the Cowboys extended Javonte Williams. Is it the right value? Oh, by the way...the Canadian curling cheater spoke up about the controversy. Oh, by the way...the Avs are getting a minor league team in New Mexico!

2-23-26 Hour 1 - USA BEATS CANADA FOR THE GOLD!/Nuggets are floundering a bit/Canada had every chance to win

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 17:36:15 +0000

0:00 - USA MEN'S HOCKEY WON AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1980! And, they defeated our neighbors to the north to secure the gold. What a moment. What a game. Of course, Jack Hughes was the hero of the game with that SNIPE past Binnington in OT. But how about Connor Hellebuyucky? The guy who was a sieve vs the Avalanche in the playoffs is now an Olympics legend.

21:22 - The Nuggets collapsed vs. a depleted Golden State Warriors team yesterday and couldn't finish down the stretch. What kind of bizarro world are we in now? This Nuggets squad used to be KILLERS in the clutch. The 4th quarter was when they played their best! Now, it's their worst quarter. Finishing games makes the difference in the playoffs. Period. They better figure this out soon.

35:42 - Canada lost to USA despite being the better team yesterday. They were better on paper AND better on the ice! That's how it goes sometimes. The hockey gods giveth, and the hockey gods taketh away.

2-20-26 Hour 3 - Morning BBQ ribs, Movies about animals?/Norway's Olympics factory/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 17:50:58 +0000

0:00 - Let's rehash a debate from a couple years ago: is it acceptable to hork down BBQ ribs at 7:45am like one Marc Moser?
Somehow, the discussion turned into a discussion about sports movies with animals?

14:30 - Norway is stacking up Winter Olympics Gold Medals faster than anyone else. They tend to do that. How does such a tiny country at the tippy top of the globe produce so many Olympic winners?

32:29 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

2-20-26 Hour 2 - Brett's annual Rox tradition/Concerned about the Nuggets?/Hammered Australian reporter

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 17:40:51 +0000

0:00 - It's time for a /ML&K tradition: Brett explains why you should be optimistic about the Rockies and their upcoming season. Except this time, he's tempering his enthusiasm. There's still a long road ahead, but it seems like the Rockies might actually maybe possibly potentially make some slight changes that set them in the right direction.

17:16 - Should we be concerned about the Nuggets right now? Are there cracks starting to form in this (alleged) championship roster?

30:52 - Oh, by the way...Danika Mason is an Australian sports reporter, and she's in Milan to cover the Olympics. She did a live hit on Australian TV while absolutely hammered, and it's fantastic.

2-20-26 Hour 1 - Nugs blow it vs Clippers/USA Women win gold, stopping NBA tanking/Can you stop tanking?

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 17:33:47 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets should've beaten the Clippers last night in LA. But they played VERY sloppy down the stretch and lost the game on a missed free throw. How much should we make of this loss? Are we concerned? Or was this some rust after the All-Star break?

16:51 - ALEXA, PLAY FREE BIRD BABY! USA Women's Hockey battled back from a 2-1 deficit, forced OT, then beat Canada to win the Gold. A golden goal for the gold. Take THAT ya hosers. That game was absolutely electric start to finish. Now we just need the men to follow suit.
After that, Adam Silver announced some new measures the league will take to prevent teams from tanking. Are any of the ideas actually viable?

37:27 - Big picture, will the NBA ever be able to actually get rid of tanking? Or is that just part of the cost of doing business?

2-19-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/We're DONE with Giannis/Locked into speed skating, Horrible Jokic metaphor

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 17:57:50 +0000

0:00 - Our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold joins us every Thursday! What does Leggy think about all these people including Riley Moss in their hypothetical mock trades? Leggy is a proud Illinois Illini. So what does he think about his Bears leaving for greener pastures in Indiana?

15:46 - Giannis keeps being coy about his future in Milwaukee. He's constantly talking out of both sides of his mouth. Here's the latest edition. The Greek Freak has officially pissed off Brett. He might be a candidate for the List.

30:55 - Are you locked into speed skating? Or are you done with it like Moser?
Also, Fact Checker was pretty rough today. Brett attempted to use a metaphor about how much career Jokic has left, and it wasn't well received by his co-hosts.

2-19-26 Hour 2 - Trade Riley Moss?/Rooting for USA or Canada hockey?/Oh, By the Way...the Indiana Chicago Bears?

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 17:44:26 +0000

0:00 - You know how much Sean Payton loves the hypotheticals! Riley Moss' name keeps popping up in all these hypothetical trades involving the Broncos. Do we really want to get rid of him that badly? Why is everyone so eager to ship him out of town?

16:09 - As we get deeper into Olympic hockey, are you rooting for the USA Men's team or Canada? You'd root for USA for obvious reasons (shoutout 'Merica), but so many Avs players are on team Canada? How is this situation any different from USA men's basketball vs Serbia in the 2024 Summer Olympics?

31:33 - Oh, by the way...Happy 31st Birthday, Nikola Jokic! How much longer will he dominate the NBA? How mnay more years does he have left? Oh, by the way...did you see the Chicago Bears are most likely building their new stadium in Indiana?

2-19-26 Hour 1 - USA & Canada men advance/No 3-on-3 OT in Olympics/Nugs expecations post-All Star Break

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 17:31:34 +0000

0:00 - It went down to OT in each game, but USA & Canada's men's hockey squads both advanced to the semis! Olympic hockey has been nothing short of electric.
Even though a bunch of Avs play for Team Canada, Brett and Vic were secretly kinda rooting for them to lose to Czechia. Why is that?

16:44 - As great as those hockey games were yesterday, it's a shame they came down to 3-on-3 OT. Keep it 5-on-5 until someone wins. Do it just like the NHL playoffs. Rink scheduling issues be damned!

31:49 - We're at the "halfway point" of the NBA season (even though it's not halfway - we're farther than that, but the All-Star break feels like halfway. You know what we mean). So what are reasonable expectations for the Nuggets in the last "half" of the season?

2-18-26 Hour 3 - No Love for the Winter Olympics?/Dan Issel Joins the Show/Bill Hanzlik Joins the Show

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 18:45:43 +0000

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane LOVE Winter Olympic Hockey, skiing...but curling? The sledding? Not super crazy about 'em.

11:25 - Nuggets legend Dan Issel joins the program to reflect on the life of Doug Moe, who passed away on Tuesday.

27:32 - Nuggets legend Bill Hanzlik ALSO joins the program to talk Doug Moe, share stories, and celebrate the life of the legendary Nuggets head coach.

2-18-26 Hour 2 - Tony Clark Did WHAT?/Take A Flyer on Tyreek?, Melo Homecoming?/Oh, By The Way

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 18:33:58 +0000

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane share a Doug Moe story from the Altitude Sports documentary covering his life and career. The gang also reacts to MLBPA executive Tony Clark resigning, and what that could mean for a potential MLB work stoppage.

12:54 - Broncos got some cap space and Tyreek Hill just got released by the Dolphins. Is that a player you take a look at to try and unlock the Broncos offense. Plus, Carmelo Anthony seemed pretty keen on doing a little homecoming with Denver and the Nuggets. Is that worth welcoming back with open arms?

31:41 - Another rousing round of "Oh, By The Way..."

2-18-26 Hour 1 - Remembering Doug Moe/Rapids Head Coach Matt Wells/NBA ASG Still Busted?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 18:15:48 +0000

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane share their thoughts and memories of legendary Nuggets head coach Doug Moe, who passed away on Tuesday.

14:19 - Brand spankin' new Rapids head coach Matt Wells joins the program to talk the season opener, going from the Prem to MLS, and more!

33:45 - Another NBA All-Star Weekend come and gone. The new format got some positive reviews, but is it actually Good? Vic, Mose, and Kane aren't quite convinced yet.

2-13-26 Hour 3 - USA BROCK-ey, Christian Fauria rips Deion/Nuggets Radio PxP Jason Kosmicki/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:38:54 +0000

0:00 - Brock Nelson had himself a DAY for Team USA yesterday! He scored 2 goals en route of a 5-1 drubbing of Latvia. You love to see it. Can we fast forward to USA vs Canada for the goal already? And more importantly, will anyone be able to stop team Canada?
After that, former CU TE and 2x Super Bowl champion Christian Fauria ripped Deion Sanders on Zach Gelb's podcast. He said Deion can't coach, doesn't honor the school's traditions, and needs to string together wins to go with the eyeballs on the program and relevancy. Vic said some of his comments are spot on, but he missed the mark in a few places.

14:28 - The Radio Voice of YOUR DENVER NUGGETS Jason "Koz" Kosmicki woke up way to early to chat with us this morning. How is he feeling about this squad at the All-Star Break?

32:49 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

2-13-26 Hour 2 - Broncos HOA Meeting/The Wall of Post-Its, Too Many Bike Lanes/Oh, By The Way...

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:28:05 +0000

0:00 - Broncos Ownership held a meeting yesterday at La Alma Rec Center. They let fans, journalists, and concerned citizens ask them any/every question about the new stadium and how the plan to develop/re-develop Burnham Yard and the neighborhood surrounding the stadium. DMac was in attendance, so he joined us in studio to tell us what he learned at the Broncos HOA meeting.

17:14 - At the Broncos HOA meeting, people were allowed to write their concerns/comments/suggestions on Post-It notes and stick them on a specific wall for all to see! What are some of our favorite Post-Its from the Broncos Country Wall? Somehow, that turned into a fiery debate between DMac and Vic about...bike lanes?

32:31 - Oh, by the way...Love him or hate him, you have to appreciate LeBron James' longevity. He still looks like he's 28 years old out there, not 41. Oh, by the way...did you see the NBA want to expand again? Oh, by the way...there's DEFINITELY another MLB lockout coming sooner rather than later.

2-13-26 Hour 1 - Brock Nelson leads USA to Victory/Bo Nix is Russell Wilson/Joe Judge's take on...parenting?

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:16:11 +0000

0:00 - Brock Nelson buried Latvia yesterday in Olympic hockey. He scored 2 goals, and had another one called off due to a penalty! Hey, rest of the world: get ready to learn Free Bird, buddy. USA hockey is comin (both men's and women's!)

14:53 - According to Kaner, Bo Nix is Russell Wilson...and that's not actually a bad thing.

35:20 - Joe Judge, Ole Miss QB Coach, testified at Trinidad Chambliss' NCAA hearing and had an...interesting take on parenthood that arose during the proceedings.

2-12-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Landy's glorious Olympics return/Tough stretch for Nugs after the break

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:13:42 +0000

0:00 - Is our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold stoked about Australian punters? What's the top priority for the Broncos in the offseason? Are the Broncos Super Bowl or Bust right now?

15:21 - Gabriel Landeskog hit the ice for the first time in 5 weeks yesterday...with Team Sweden. And that's fine! It's okay that he returned from injury to represent his country instead of making his return with the Avs! This is a non-story. Don't overthink it.

33:01 - The Nuggets needed the All-Star Break desperately. Rest up, boys. Because after the break, the schedule doesn't get any easier. Far from it. The first 6 games after the break are TOUGH.

2-12-26 Hour 2 - CU still can't produce football talent/Broncos: Champ or Bust?/Oh, by the way...

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:48:01 +0000

0:00 - How many CU players will be at the NFL Combine this year? Take a second...think of a guess...think of a number...here's the answer: zero. Not a single CU football player was invited to the combine. For a head coach who touts his ability to find Louis and Gucci in the portal, the data would suggest otherwise. Again, this begs the question: heading into Year 4 at CU, what are reasonable expectations for Neion Deion and his $10 mil/year salary?

15:58 - The Avalanche and Nuggets are both squarely in championship or bust windows. But what about the Broncos? If they don't reach the AFC Championship again next year, is it a disappointment? Or would you be okay with that because they "overperformed" this year?

26:34 - Oh, by the way...both CU and K-State Men's Basketball got blown out of the water by Texas Tech and Cincinnati (respectively). Both head coaches were frustrated with their team after the game. Understandably so. Also, by the way, they love punting in Australia ESPECIALLY in the Super Bowl.

2-12-26 Hour 1 - Nugs squeak past Grizzlies/No problem with Landy's return/Will NBA ASG be competitive?

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:34:55 +0000

0:00 - It shouldn't have been a nailbiter, but it was. Whatever. A win is a win. The Nuggets head into the All-Star Break with a dub, as it should be.

14:30 - Some people on our radio station who shall remain nameless (but their show name is an acronym for a college degree) said it was weird that Landeskog made his return from injury in the Olympics. He really couldn't play for the Avs before the break? And he's magically healthy to play for Sweden now? Why wouldn't he return after the Olympics?
Brett explains why this logic is flawed, and why you should have no problem with Landy's return to the ice representing his country.

34:02 - The NBA overhauled the All-Star Game format in an attempt to make it competitive. Will it work? Kevin Durant says that's up to the international players.

2-11-26 Hour 3 - Vic's conversation with Gallo/Kyle Keefe joins the show/Tough to keep Peyton Watson

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:57:32 +0000

0:00 - Vic chatted one-on-one with Danilo Gallinari since he'll be honored at the game tonight. In that conversation, he asked Gallo a question that you NEVER ask another Italian man. Vic embarrassed the family.
The Nuggets are hosting the Memphis Grizzlies tonight in the last game before the All-Star Break. What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?

12:33 - Vic's old radio partner once upon a time Kyle Keefe joined the show today to talk about everything from Olympics hockey to cartoon sports broadcasts...since he's doing one later this month.

34:15 - With all the aprons and luxury/repeater taxes, it will be tough for the Nuggets to keep Peyton Watson on the roster next year. Aprons be damned. Do whatever you have to do to keep him in Denver.

2-11-26 Hour 2 - Utah Jazz are obviously tanking/KB hurt...again, Oldest Athletes ever/Oh, By the Way!

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:49:02 +0000

0:00 - All sports leagues have tried to curb "tanking." If you ask the commissioner of any major sports league, they'll tell you tanking is not a thing! We have measures in place to prevent that. Well if that's the case, how do you explain what the Utah Jazz are doing right now?

14:50 - Kris Bryant is still going through a debilitating back injury. Never mind playing baseball. He's just trying to return to a normal quality of life. Shockingly, he'll start the season on the 60-day IL, meaning he'll miss the first 57 games of the Rockies season AT LEAST. What on Earth are the Rockies supposed to do with this guy? He may never set foot on a baseball diamond again, and the Rockies owe him gobs of money for the next few years.
That sent us down a rabbit hole of the oldest athletes of all time.

34:52 - Oh, by the way...did you see that Norwegian Skiier sprinting uphill on SKIS? At a sub-6 minute mile pace???

2-11-26 Hour 1 - Last Nugs game before the break/Men's Olympic hockey begins/Broncos offseason wish list

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:33:57 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets are playing the struggling Grizzlies tonight at Ball Arena in their last game before the All-Star Break. The goal for the Nuggets is simple. Beat a bad team on your home court, go into the break on a high note, come back healthy and ready to go. Also, Christian Braun spoke to PHD yesterday and gave more information about his injury and recovery process.

16:16 - Men's Olympic Hockey prelims start this morning! We won't see US and Canada till tomorrow, but both Finland and Sweden will play today. And it looks like Gabe Landeskog will return to the ice for the first time since his injury.

35:02 - Brett has a wish list for the Broncos this offseason. Who does he want to see in oreange and blue? Do we agree? Are his wishes realistic?

Adam Schefter reacts to the Super Bowl & previews the offseason with us

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 18:06:28 +0000

The 2025 NFL Season is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Super Bowl 60? Which players might be shuffled around in the offseason? Is the league contemplating any changes? Let's pick Schefty's brain in his last weekly appearance for a while.

2-10-26 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Nuggets can't closeout games/Skiier wins medal...then admits he cheated

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:51:00 +0000

0:00 - The 2025 NFL Season is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Super Bowl 60? Which players might be shuffled around in the offseason? Is the league contemplating any changes? Let's pick Schefty's brain in his last weekly appearance for a while.

19:38 - Why does this Nuggets team continually struggle to closeout games? Last night was yes another perfect example.

32:47 - A Norwegian Skiier won an Olympic bronze medal...then immediately admitted that he cheated on the love of his life. Weird time to admit that, my dude.

2-10-26 Hour 2 - NBA & NFL potential changes/Nervous about Olympic hockey/Oh! By the Way...

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:38:01 +0000

0:00 - The NFL wants to expand the window for future picks you can include in a trade. Right now, you can include draft picks that are 3 years in the future. But in the NBA, you can go way farther than that. Hunter Tyson was just traded for a 2032 pick! Brett thinks this is getting out of hand. We're really gonna start shuffling picks from 2050? Everyone settle down.
Also, the NBA wants to expand to Seattle and Vegas, unsurprisingly.

11:09 - Are you nervous about your Avalanche star players competing in the Olympics? What happens if Nathan MacKinnon or Cale Makar gets hurt competing in the Olympics? Does that feel "worse" than if one of them gets hurt playing in an NHL game?

29:56 - Oh, by the way...we have a new daily segment called Oh, By the Way! Every day at 8:45, we're ping-ponging around every sports (or non-sports) story that pops into our heads!

2-10-26 Hour 1 - Nugs collapse vs Cleveland/Way-too-Early Super Bowl Odds/NBA's West is STACKED

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:24:20 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets collapsed late in the game last night and lost to the new-look James Harden Cavaliers. Yet ANOTHER home loss! What's going on with this squad?

16:56 - Seconds after the Super Bowl wrapped up, the internet was flooded with WAY TOO EARLY PREDICTIONS FOR NEXT SEASON, BABY! Who's slated to win Super Bowl 61? How about the AFC West? Will the Broncos hang onto their crown?

36:04 - The NBA's Western Conference is STACKED. We're approaching the home stretch, and it'll be a photo finish. The 2 seed and the 7 seed are only separated by 5 wins. Realistically, where will the Nuggets land? What's feasible?

2-09-26 Hour 3 - Chad Brown/Ripples of Russ trade, Lindsay Vonn crashes again/Who is Sam Darnold?

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:57:49 +0000

0:00 - Chad Brown played for both the Seahawks and the Patriots during his long NFL career. What did he think of yesterday's snoozefest game?

15:53 - Multiple players on the Seahawks championship roster were the direct result of the Russell Wilson trade. Does that mean George Paton should receive a ring?
Also, Lindsay Vonn crashed again over the weekend and had to be airlifted out. She caught one of the slalom flags with her arm and it JUST tweaked her enough to throw off her balance. It was tough to watch.

33:29 - Who is Sam Darnold? How do we properly evaluate him? It's tough to evaluate QBs (and athletes in any sport for that matter) in a vacuum. You have to consider the pieces SURROUNDING that player on both sides of the ball.

2-09-26 Hour 2 - Take joy in Patriots pain/The Physics of Luge/New segment: Oh, By the Way...

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:46:10 +0000

0:00 - Call it sour grapes or whatever, but how great was it to see the Patriots lose yesterday? Boston fans are miserable and we're here for it. Their MVP-candidate Golden Boy QB put together a lackluster performance in the biggest game of his life. How da ya like them apples, Dave Portnoy?

12:07 - Why would it be shameful if Vic died his hair? If he went full Vicky Martin, why is that embarrassing?
Also, Luge is awesome but it makes no sense to us. How does it work? Does being fat give you an advantage because you slide faster? Or is it better to be skinny and aerodynamic?

28:36 - We're debuting a new daily segment called "Oh, By The Way..."

2-09-26 Hour 1 - Seahawks Win SB 60/Bad Bunny: Yay or Nay?/Jamal Murray makes 3-Pt Contest

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:37:44 +0000

0:00 - The Seahawks won Super Bowl 60. The Lombardi Trophy is headed back to Seattle. Man, that was a boring Super Bowl. It picked up a bit in garbage time, but whatever. The question we'll ask from now until the end of time: How would the Broncos have looked in that game against the Seahawks Defense with a healthy Bo Nix and JK Dobbins?

15:24 - It was the most controversial Super Bowl halftime show of all controversial Super Bowl halftime shows! Gasp! What did you think of Bad Bunny yesterday?

32:03 - Jamal Murray has been named to the NBA's 3-Point Contest. Good for him! He'll probably hit the gym immediately and start putting up shots to get ready for it. That's the type of person he is. He's a natural competitor. It's nice to see Jamal finally getting his flowers.

2-06-26 Hour 3 - We'd take Jeremiyah Love here/Kevin Demoff live at Radio Row/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 18:08:55 +0000

0:00 - Vic had the chance to talk to Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love at Radio Row yesterday. And DMac was poo-pooing the idea of drafting him, because you can find guys like that anywhere. Brett & Vic think that's ridiculous. The Broncos would never draft him BUT we'd love it if they did.

11:10 - Kevin Demoff wears many hats. So many that we don't know how to introduce him? He's a big wig with KSE and an even bigger wig with the LA Rams. However you wanna describe him, he sat down with us at Radio Row and described the sports rollercoaster he's been on the past few months with the Avalanche, Nuggets, Rams, Arsenal, you name it.

33:11 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

2-06-26 Hour 2 - Ski jumpers..."enhancing" themselves/Vic with Greg Cosell, Tyson traded/NFL HOF inductions

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 17:50:55 +0000

0:00 - Football isn't the only "game of inches" now. Evidently, Olympic ski jumpers are (supposedly) injecting their little dighys with Hyaluronic acid in order to gain a slight competitive edge.

11:18 - Greg Cosell is the nephew of Howard Cosell, and he's also a Senior Producer at NFL Films. He's seen a lot of football in his day. Vic caught up with him at Super Bowl Radio Row and asked him about what he's seen from Bo Nix so far in his young career.
Also, the Nuggets traded Hunter Tyson to Brooklyn. They got a future draft pick in return, but it was mostly to dump his salary and free up a roster spot. So they'll be able to add one more player (not from the trade market) and that's it.

31:19 - The NFL HOF inductions were announced last night. Brett misses the guy with the epic voice who used to tell players that they got inducted. Things haven't been the same since he stepped down.

2-06-26 Hour 1 - Nugs trade Hunter Tyson, NFL Awards/We're done with Giannis/Sam Darnold's crazy journey

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 17:35:59 +0000

0:00 - The only move the Nuggets made yesterday was to trade Hunter Tyson, essentially for a salary dump and an open roster spot. They also converted Spencer Jones' two-way contract to a regular contract to keep him here. So they can add one more player and that's it. What need should they try to fill?
The NFL Honors Awards were last night, and the Broncos didn't win anything. We thought Sean Payton MIGHT have a shot at Coach of the Year, but Mike Vrabel taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl in his first season was tough to beat. Also, Matt Stafford got MVP...by ONE vote. ONE single vote. Someone cast their vote for Justin Herbert and he's getting killed online for it.

22:36 - We used to love him, and now...we're officially done with him. The Greek Freak needs to shut his trap. He's approaching being on The List.

34:11 - It's hard to believe Sam Darnold's turnaround. He was left for dead in New York, left for dead in Carolina, revived his career with the Vikings who still cut him, and now he's in the Super Bowl in his first year with Seattle. Unbelievable. Meanwhile, look at the Vikings right now. They're in freefall. Just listen to what Justin Jefferson had to say (or didn't say) about his QB.

2-05-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Gold medal or Championship?/Too many influencers

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 18:03:28 +0000

0:00 - It's still football season for a few more days. But for the Broncos, the offseason is already in swing. What moves do they need to make? What are their biggest needs and priorities? Who should they draft? What about free agency? Let's see what's on Leggy's offseason to-do list.

19:45 - Take a random sample of NHL and NBA players. Would they rather win an NHL/NBA Championship or a gold medal? Which means more?

33:40 - After spending a few days at Super Bowl Media Week, Vic has reached the conclusion that there are too many influencers. There's no way every single outlet here deserved a credential. No way.

2-05-26 Hour 2 - NBA Trade Deadline Madness/Maxx Crosby to Broncos?/Vic's chat with Jeremiah Castille

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 17:53:30 +0000

0:00 - The NBA trade deadline is hours away, and we've already seen some wild trades so far! Unfortunately, one player who Vic really wanted the Nuggets to acquire has gone to Minnesota. Who else is out there? Also, why does Washington want Anthony Davis?

12:23 - All signs point to Maxx Crosby leaving the Raiders. He'd never end up in Denver. Zero percent chance to the Raiders letting him go elsewhere in the AFC West. But, let's play pretend. Would you take him here?
Also, if the Nuggets don't make any trades before the deadline, are we okay with it? Is this roster, as currently constructed, a championship roster?

34:29 - Broncos fans know about "The Fumble." The name speaks for itself and lives forever in Broncos and NFL playoff lore. At Super Bowl Media Week, Vic had the chance to meet the man behind the iconic play. The man who ruined Earnest Byner's life forever (unintentionally). A true Broncos legend. Jeremiah Castille.

2-05-26 Hour 1 - A mixed bag Double Diparoo/An uncompelling Super Bowl/Vic's chat with Ryan Leaf

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 17:42:45 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche beat the Sharks last night and headed into the break on a high note! Meanwhile, the Nuggets lost to the Knicks in 2OT at the Garden. Peyton Watson tweaked his hamstring (still being evaluated), and Spencer Jones left with a concussion. Plus, Jokic looked like he was limping at some point. My goodness. The double diparoo giveth. And the double diparoo taketh away.

16:20 - Vic's at Radio Row in San Francisco for the Super Bowl. And yet, he's having trouble getting excited about the matchup. There's no buzz around it, or at least that's how it seems. Are we crazy? Does anyone else feel this way?

32:02 - Vic caught up with Ryan Leaf yesterday. He asked him about Bo Nix's success and how his season came to an unfortunate screeching hault.

2-04-26 Hour 3 - Nugs fall short in Detroit/Double Keysaroo, Golden Bachelor dissed Mose/Nugs concerns?

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 17:45:18 +0000

0:00 - It's tough to get into a rhythm right now, since Nuggets players are entering and exiting the lineup left an right. Joker and CB are finally back, but they're still shaking off the rust. Adelman is changing things on the fly and doing the best he can with who he has.

14:27 - There's a Double Diparoo tonight, which necessitates a Double Keys-A-Roo! What are the keys to a Nuggets victory over the Knickerbockers, and an Avs victory over the Sharks?
After that, Vic is in SF at Media Row and he met our hero. Our idol. Our friend(?) Mel Owens. The Golden Bachelor. Vic asked Mel if Moser would ever have a chance of becoming the Golden Bachelor. And let's just say...Mel is on Moser's "List" now.

31:32 - The NBA All-Star break is (mercifully) about 2 weeks away. What are our biggest concerns with the Nuggets right now?

2-04-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Vic's chat with Garett Bolles/Vic asks Terrell Davis about Broncos RBs

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 17:33:06 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche have ONE last game before the NHL's Olympic Break. How's Avs Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling about his squad as they head into some much-needed time off?

19:26 - Garett Bolles was this year's recipient of the NFLPA’s Alan Page Community Award for the service that he and his foundation do off the field. Vic caught up with him after he received the award, and asked him about the AFC Championship and how to fix the Broncos run game. If the OL is so highly graded, why does the run game continue to struggle?

34:31 - Who knows more about being a Broncos RB than Terrell Davis? Vic chatted with him on Media Row and asked why Denver still can't run the rock consistently.

2-04-26 Hour 1 - Nugs fall to the Pistons/Vic meets the Golden Bachelor/Why did Davis Webb stay?

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 17:20:22 +0000

0:00 - Christian Braun came back to the lineup, but the Nuggets lost to the Pistons in Detriot. It's tough to find any consistency from the Nuggets because the lineup is constantly changing. Guys are getting healthy, other guys are getting hurt, etc. Coach Adelman is throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

19:42 - Of all the celebrities Vic's met at Radio Row, he met the greatest of all of them last night. He ran into none other than Mel Owens. The Golden Bachelor. Vic asked him if our very own (happily married, by the way) Marc Moser could ever become a Golden Bachelor himself.

36:22 - Supposedly, Davis Webb was a candidate for a bunch of different OC jobs around the league. He received some offers to coach elsewhere. So, why did he stay with Denver?

2-03-26 Hour 3 - Fairly evaluating the Avs/Moser's Winter Olympic Sports Evaluation/Our Kansas table guest

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 17:54:26 +0000

0:00 - Some texters accused us of making excuses for the Avs! We never faily criticize the players or the coaches. We're too soft. Is that the case? Are we not being hard enough on the Avs who are clearly sputtering right now? Or are they elsewhere mentally and in desperate need of the Olympic break?

11:15 - Nuggets are in Detriot taking on the Pistons. What are the Keys to a Nugs victory?
Which winter sports are we keeping? Which ones are we getting rid of? It's time for our time-honored Olympics tradition where Moser evaluates every sport one at a time.

33:32 - Vic is live at Radio Row for the Super Bowl Media Week, and he ended up sharing a table with some dude from Wichita. Does he have anything good to say? Let's put him on the mic. Why not?

2-03-26 Hour 2 - Avs shout out by Red Wings/Davis Webb is the Broncos OC/NFL expanding internationally

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 17:36:53 +0000

0:00 - Ugh...losing to the Red Wings sucks. Getting shut out by them AT HOME is even worse. What went wrong last night? The Avs have been wishy washy recently, to say the least.

12:51 - Yesterday, the news broke that Davis Webb is the new Broncos Offensive Coordinator. We haven't heard yet if he'll be calling plays. Should he? Would Sean Payton REALLY be willing and able to reliquish that? And if Davis Webb won't be calling plays, then why did he stick around?

33:09 - Unsurprisingly, the NFL is trying to expand its slate of NFL games. Word on the street is - they want to make every team play 1 international game per yer. Broncos might be headed back to Mexico City since that falls under their "territorial rights."

2-03-26 Hour 1 - Avs looked awful vs Red Wings/David Webb calling plays?/NBA Trade Deadline approaching

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 17:25:46 +0000

0:00 - What a gross game by the Avs. They lost to Detriot 2-0 AT HOME. In Ball Arena. Sheesh. Get to the break already. These boys are completely and totally checked out.

14:34 - Davis Webb has officially been promoted to Broncos Offensive Coordinator. But the announcement yesterday didn't include anything about the playcalling...Straw Poll: Do you want Sean Payton calling plays next year? Yes or No?

36:41 - The NBA Trade Deadline is a few days away. What trades do you want to see the Nuggets make? Who cares?? Shoot for the moon! The Luka trade proved that anything is possible. Nothing is too ridiculous or too long of a shot.

Erik Johnson debunks the "spray tan" accusations

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:39:02 +0000

Erik Johnson has had ENOUGH of the spray tan accusations that Nathan MacKinnon started! He asked to join our show and put the rumors to bed once and for all. Since we had him on the line anyway, we decided to ask him some actual hockey questions about the Avalanche as well. God forbid we talk sports on this show!

Adam Schefter adds "breaking Geological news" to his loaded resume

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:36:43 +0000

Schefty reported there was an earthquake in SF, then hopped on our show. He breaks Geological news, then breaks NFL news. What doesn't this guy do?

2-02-26 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/JamAll-Star is officially official/Boxer get his hair punched off

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:33:50 +0000

0:00 - Schefty reported there was an earthquake in SF, then hopped on our show. He breaks Geological news, then breaks NFL news. What doesn't this guy do?

14:21 - Aside from the possibility of Jokic winning MVP, which is more likely: Peyton Watson wins Most Improved Player, Tim Hardaway Jr wins 6th man of the year, or David Adelman is Coach of the Year?

32:38 - This weekend, a boxer got punched so hard that his fake hair fell off. Yikes. And somehow, he won the fight by decision. Nope! If your toupee falls off mid-fight, that's an automatic L in our book.

2-02-26 Hour 2 - Erik Johnson defends his "spray tan"/Jokic officiated differently/Happy Groundhog Day!

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:24:32 +0000

0:00 - Erik Johnson has had ENOUGH of the spray tan accusations! He asked to join our show and put the rumors to bed once and for all. Since we had him on the line anyway, we decided to ask him some actual hockey questions about the Avalanche as well. God forbid we talk sports on this show!

14:03 - In last night's Nuggets vs Thunder game, Jaylen Williams wrapped up Jokic, square danced with him, twerked with him, and the refs didn't call a foul. This is Jokic's curse. The Thunder will always push the foul boundaries and get a beneficial whistle, so the Nuggets will have to figure out how to win in spite of it.

33:38 - Happy Groundhog Day and Moser's birthday! We're celebrating by taking a show trip to Gobbler's Knob. Wait what?

2-02-26 Hour 1 - Nugs lose to OKC & the whistle/Erik Johnson's spray tan/Goalie fights galore!

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 17:13:17 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets faced OKC for the first time this season, and lost 121-111 at Ball Arena. We can cry about the whistles all we want, and we probably will. But it doesn't change the fact that OKC is still the gold standard in the West. They're still the man, and to be the man ya gotta beat the man. Figure out how to beat them.

16:19 - Nathan MacKinnon accused Erik Johnson on rocking a spray tan on Saturday during the Avs @ Red Wings broadcast. EJ is one of the only guys who can get Mack to act like a normal human instead of the stone cold hockey machine he usually is.

35:30 - There have been a multiple goalie fights this season! What's in the water? We didn't have any goalie fights for years, and now there are multiple in the same season? Also, who don't goalies have to serve penalty minutes? Get in the box, buddy. Your team either plays with an empty net for 2 min, or the backup comes in for 2 min.

1-30-26 Hour 3 - Chad Brown/MPJ's chat with Vic Lombardi/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:52:37 +0000

0:00 - Bo Nix vs Sean Payton: AnkleGate has splintered the Broncos fan base (much like Bo's ankle, AMIRITE?) Let's get the opinion of someone's who been in plenty of NFL locker rooms and has played for all-time legendary head coaches. What does Chad Brown think of how they handled it? Also, what does Chad think about the firing of Joe Lombardi? Will Sean Payton finally hand over play calling duties on offense to Davis Webb?

18:54 - Vic Lombardi caught up with MPJ after last night's game, his first game back in Denver as a member of the Brooklyn Nets. MPJ is so open, honest, and genuine. We miss him, but trading him was a necessary step to building this year's much-improved roster.

31:22 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

1-30-26 Hour 2 - Aaron Gordon out for 4-6 weeks/Juggling Ja'Quan & other FAs/Avs are stuck in the mud

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:46:24 +0000

0:00 - Aaron Gordon, welcome to the DENVER NUGGETS RE-EVALUATED IN 4-6 WEEKS CLUB! These poor Nugs can't stay healthy. At least David Adelman gave us some good news yesterday about Jokic's recovery progress.

13:34 - Ja'Quan McMillian is a restricted free agent. Should the Broncos retain his services? How about the rest of their impending free agents on defense?

31:12 - The Avs are stuck in the mud right now, man. The Colorado Wagon has come to a complete stop.

1-30-26 Hour 1 - Nugs win, Avs lose in Double Dip/Davis Webb = Broncos OC/Drake Maye banged up

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:14:36 +0000

0:00 - The Thrill of Victory, and the Agony of Defeat. That's how the Double Diparoos go sometimes. Even though he took that L on the way out, MPJ looked great in his return to Denver as member of the Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, the Avs sleepwalked through whatever the hell that effort was in Montreal.

16:52 - Davis Webb withdrew his name from the Raiders Head Coach search. Does this mean he'll be the Broncos OC now? Would Sean Payton let him call the plays?

33:11 - Drake Maye is "limited in practice" right now with a shoulder injury. Did that happen during the AFC Championship game? Or was it lingering from before?

1-29-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Double Keys-a-Roo, Greg Penner knows his role/Stepback J Kabloom is back

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:59:35 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold joined us live from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. We asked him about the drama with Bill Belichick and the Hall of Fame...if Jeff's even allowed to tell us anything. Also, what does Jeff think about the Sean Payton/Bo Nix Ankle Surgerygate? Can he explain what Joe Lombardi's role was as Broncos OC and why he got fired?

20:33 - It's a double diparoo tonight, which necessitates a Double KEYS-a-roo! How can both the Avs and Nuggets get bounce-back wins tonight?
Also, Greg Penner truly understands his role in the Broncos organization. It's not an owner's responsibility to make nitty gritty roster and personnel decisions. If it is, you end up with dumpster fires like the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.
And somehow, Moser ended up pole dancing in his Montreal hotel room, and Vic took a phone call from his Italian aunt on the air.

34:50 - MPJ will face the Nuggets in Denver for the first time since joining the Brooklyn Nets. In honor of his return...it's time..to dust off...IN ITS ENTIRETY...the hottest rap song of 2021...Stepback J Kabloom.

1-29-26 Hour 2 - Broncos fire their OC/Bring back Von Miller?/Fantastic Broncos ownership

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:49:05 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos fired their offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi...okay? What was he even doing? I thought the offense was Sean Payton's baby. Also, Sean has worked with Joe for like 15 straight seasons. Why fire him now after the Broncos reached the AFC Championship game? Strange situation all around.

17:08 - For the past couple years, Von Miller has said he wants to return to Denver and play in this iron-clad Broncos defense. Should they welcome him back? Would the Vonster be a good addition?

34:09 - Greg Penner addressed the media yesterday, and multiple times, he said he doesn't involve himself in the finer points of roster decisions. He leaves that to his Coach and GM, and mostly acts as a moderator during tough discussions. Compare that to guys like Jerry Jones and Terry Pagula who can't keep their ancient mouths shut. We're so lucky to have such elite ownership here in Denver.
Also, Tyrann Mathieu went to extreme lengths to cleanse himself before taking a drug test in college, and he almost poisoned himself.

1-29-26 Hour 1 - Avs looked awful in Ottawa/Bo Nix refutes Sean Payton's comments/The Return of MPJ

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:33:50 +0000

0:00 - Last night, the Avalanche looked awful in Ottawa. They couldn't get anything going. Brett says it's because these boys need the Olympic Break in the worst way. They're getting tired of the slog of the season. They desperately need the time off, then they'll come back stronger.

17:20 - Yesterday, Bo Nix called his own press conference to clarify some of the comments Sean Payton said about his ankle and surgery. Bo didn't think he got some of the particulars correct. This is weird, right? A QB holding his own presser to refuse something his coach said?

34:49 - The Return of MPJ. He'll be back in Denver for the first time as a member of the Brooklyn Nets. He'll be welcomed back with open arms, as he should. Despite all the ups and downs, MPJ always gave it his all.

1-28-26 Hour 3 - Fixing the run game...with short people/Are Vic & Moser the same height?/Andy Lindahl yells at us

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:35:06 +0000

0:00 - Could the Broncos take an unconventional approach to fixing the run game? Maybe a method that involves Nelly?

18:07 - I think we started talking about Nuggets basketball...then the conversation devolved into a debate about who's taller: Vic or Mose?

32:57 - Andy Lindahl didn't appreciate some accusations that Vic made about him and Nate, so he HAD to call the show and respond. He just had to. XXXL couldn't help himself.

1-28-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Jamal takes responsibility, Belichick HOF snub/Worried about Bo's ankle?

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:23:36 +0000

0:00 - Sam Malinski just inked a 4-year extension with the Avalanche. Head Coach Jared Bednar had nothing but good things to say about Malinski and his journey this morning when he joined us for his weekly appearance.

16:57 - Last night, Jamal Murray was open and honest in his postgame press conference. He owned up to his critical mistakes in Denver's loss to the Pistons. That's a sign of growth from Jamal. In years past, he was snippy and dismissive with the media.
Also, yesterday we learned that Bill Belichick will NOT be a First Ballot Hall of Famer. He'll have to wait at least a year. Seriously? We KNOW he's gonna make it in, but some people want to make him wait in order to send a message?

32:10 - Turns out, the surgeon who looked at Bo Nix's ankle said a fracture was a matter of "if" not "when." Is this something we need to worry about?

1-28-26 Hour 1 - Nugs fall to Pistons at Ball/Payton & Paton address the media/Maximizing the roster

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets had a chance to win, but fell short of beating the Pistons last night at Ball Arena. It is what is it. Chalk it up to the travel debacle where they couldn't get out of Memphis. They sat on the tarmac for ages, and made it back to Denver less than 24 hours until tip. It is what it is. But, one positive takeaway: Jamal Murray was very open and honest in his postgame presser. He actually took responsibility for his mistakes instead of being flippant and dismissive with the media.

15:02 - The Law Firm of Payton and Paton addressed the media to wrap up the season. Even though they reached the AFC Championship, this team needs to make some adjustments in the offseason. Both Payton and Paton understand that.

34:05 - Right now, the Broncos have Bo Nix dirt cheap on his rookie contract. They HAVE to capitalize on this window. How will Sean and George maximize their opportunities before they have to pay Bo?

1-27-26 Hour 3 - VJ staying in Denver?, Moser didn't break any news/Rebutting Nate & Andy/Final NFL tidbits

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 18:06:11 +0000

0:00 - Broncos Linebacker Jonathan Cooper said something yesterday that makes us think maybe...just MAYBE...Vance Joseph is staying with the Broncos.
Also, Moser is IN OTTAWA at the practice rink WATCHING THE AVALANCHE SKATE, and yet he didn't break any news. We had to get the news from Pierre LeBrun on Twitter.

13:22 - Nate & Andy did what they did best: dug up some numbers and analytics to justify Sean Payton going for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the FG. That's cool, nerds. Nice numbers. They don't tell the full story, though. Still should've kicked the FG. No numbers will change that.
Somehow, it turned into a discussion of pets and when they should be put down.

31:40 - The Buffalo Bills have a new head coach! JK Dobbins raves about the Broncos ownership. How cool is Sam Darnold's comeback story? Let's hit a whole smorgasbord of NFL Tidbits.

1-27-26 Hour 2 - Neutral site AFC Championship?/DMac flamed by Boston TV/Shedeur named to Pro Bowl, Nugs Keys

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 17:55:22 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Mike Florio published an article about the AFC Championship saying that the snow made it unwatchable. He suggested that the championship games should be played at a neutral site with good weather, like the Super Bowl, to ensure a watchable product.
Vic agrees with the snow part of it. That's not "football weather." It completely ruined the ending of the game.

12:46 - DMac went BACK to the same NESN (Boston TV) show that he was on last week, so he could face the music. Good for him, but MAN he let that host tear him a new one. Stick up for yourself, Darren!

29:29 - Shedeur Sanders was officially named to the Pro Bowl. Look, no disrespect to Shedeur. We're all rooting for him to find success in the NFL. But a Pro Bowler? Nah man.
Also, they Nuggets FINALLY made it back to Denver and will play the Pistons tonight at Ball Arena. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

1-27-26 Hour 1 - Broncos player exit interviews/Sticking up for Sean/Nuggets stuck in Memphis

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 17:39:32 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Broncos players cleaned out their lockers at addressed the media one last time on their way out the door (until they return to the new facility for training camp). How do the players feel about the state of their team right now?

16:28 - Did Sean Payton make a questionable decision or two in the AFC Championship game? Absolutely. We'll be wrestling with that 4th and 1 decision until we're dead in the ground. But let's not let that cloud our judgment of what Sean Payton has done for this organization in 3 short years.

34:27 - The Nuggets we're walking in Memphis...because there was too much snow and they couldn't do anything. Their plane was stranded on the ground for hours yesterday. Katy Winge chronicled the whole saga on social media. FINALLY, they got home safe last night.

1-26-26 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Most Impactful Play of the Game?/Time for Some Upgrades

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:30:38 +0000

0:00 - NFL Insider and ESPN's own Adam Schefter hops on the show to talk the AFC Championship game. Everyone is sad, but Schefter hits the boys with a glass half full perspective about the Broncos despite losing 10-7.

15:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane continue their debrief of the AFC Championship Game, it was a game of inches so it begs the question: What was the most impactful play of the game? Was it going for it on fourth down? The fumble? We got options here.

32:54 - The 2025 Broncos were comeback artists...but will that be enough for 2026? Vic, Mose, and Kane discuss how the Broncos could juice their roster, add some weapons, and not have to play from behind so often next season.

Adam Schefter Unpacks the AFC Championship Game with Us

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:16:46 +0000

Adam Schefter joins the show to talk that AFC Championship Game, the Broncos ground game, and have a little history lesson about Broncos playoff exploits.

1-26-26 Hour 2 - Going for it on 4th & 1/We've seen this game before/The Broncos NEED a roof

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 17:00:10 +0000

0:00 - Should the Broncos have gone for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking a FG early to go up 10-0? Do you like the aggressive call from Sean Payton? If he knew the horrible snowstorm was coming in, would he have made a different decision?

15:43 - The Broncos game we saw yesterday...we've seen that 1000 times before. We saw that game, what, 10 times this season? Stuggles on offense, big plays on defense, you need your QB to drive down the field and orchestrate a comeback...sound familiar? Would Denver have won that game yesterday with Bo Nix?

31:48 - Did you enjoy the snow yesterday? The guys on the field certainly didn't. According to Vic, the Broncos would've won that game if they played it in a dome. Take the weather out of it, and Denver's headed to the Super Bowl. It's the reason that the new stadium will have a retractable roof. Period.

1-26-26 Hour 1 - Broncos lose to Pats in AFC Championship/Make ONE more play/Death by Inches: The Return

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:55:08 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos season came to an end yesterday inside a snow globe at Empower Field. And the worst part was...the game felt completely and totally winnable. It was within reach, and the Broncos couldn't get it done. Would they have won that game with Bo Nix at QB? Probably, but we'll never know.

15:40 - The Broncos just needed to make ONE more play! They had so many chances to close this game out, and couldn't make ONE more play when they needed it the most.

32:50 - It's an old favorite that we're bringing back for the first time since the Fangio era: Death By Inches. That's exactly how yesterday felt. Death by inches.

Jim Nantz previews the AFC Championship Game with us

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:23:04 +0000

The legendary Jim Nantz, who will be calling the AFC Championship game for CBS, joined us today to preview the game. He's called plenty of exciting Broncos games this year, and he's expecting Sunday to be no exception, even without Bo Nix.

1-23-26 Hour 3 - Chad Brown/Jim Nantz, LAY IT DOWN/Finals Broncos Predictions, DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:57:40 +0000

0:00 - Let's preview the AFC Championship with a former NFLer who actually played for the Patriots at one point: Chad Brown.

10:41 - The legendary Jim Nantz, who will be calling the AFC Championship game for CBS, joined us today to preview the game. He's called plenty of exciting Broncos games this year, and he's expecting Sunday to be no exception, even without Bo Nix.
Also, there are only 2 NFL games this weekend. But that won't stop Moser...from LAYIN IT DOWNNNNNNN.

31:39 - The time has finally come. The fellas make their final predictions once and for all for the AFC Championship game.
Then it's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

1-23-26 Hour 2 - DMac vs Boston TV Hosts/Stiddy needs early success/Dolphins Owner forget his coach's name

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:49:03 +0000

0:00 - DMac already took on Boston sports radio. Yesterday, he collided with Boston sports TV! He made an appearance on NESN and absolutely owned those Chowdaheads, if I do say so myself.

16:33 - Can Stiddy orchestrate a thrilling comeback win at the last second like Bo Nix? No, probably not. But we don't need him to do that. Instead, the key for Stiddy will be early success. Start strong, get comfortable, maybe built a bit of a lead, a cushion...that way you won't have to battle back.

33:46 - Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross officially introduced their new head coach in a press conference recently. And that coach's name is...um...uh...?

1-23-26 Hour 1 - No idea what to expect/Moser's List of Broncos Musts/Does weather affect QBs?

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:37:05 +0000

0:00 - We've been trying to predict how the Broncos will look on Sunday in the AFC Championship with a backup QB but in reality...we know nothing. This situation is so foreign to us that it's impossible to truly predict how Stiddy will play in the biggest game of his career. But what is our job in radio if not to speculate wildly?

16:21 - Moser spent all morning compiling a list of Broncos Musts! These are all the musts for a win on Sunday.

34:00 - Does weather affect QBs? Should we be factoring in Sunday's forecast at all? Let's call someone who's played plenty of QB in frigid conditions: Coach Mike Sanford.

1-22-26 Hour 3 - Moser's angry pig story, Keys to Nugs Game/Take Maye seriously?/An old friend returns

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 17:25:51 +0000

0:00 - Moser has a great story about an angry pig, and we'll get back to it any minute now.
Also, Nuggets are in DC tonight to face the Wizards. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

13:20 - It seems like we aren't taking Drake Maye as a serious threat. Why is that? Should we be worried about him?

30:54 - An old friend swung by the studio today, and it turns out things haven't changed a bit.

1-22-26 Hour 2 - Mad Dog can't say "Stidham"/Jeff Legwold/What's more important than Broncos?

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 17:17:17 +0000

0:00 - Mad Dog Russo is the king of mispronoucing names at this point. No one does it better than him, even our very own Vic Lombardi. Yesterday, he found a new way to say "Stidham."

16:22 - How's Stiddy looking in practice? Will Dobbins be ready to go? How about Pat Bryant? Jeff Legwold shared all his observations of the Broncos as they ramp up for the AFC Championship.

37:55 - Is there anything more important than this Broncos game on Sunday? Any life event, sporting event, event of any kind that's more important than the Broncos game?

1-22-26 Hour 1 - Avs got Goalied™/DMac showed his Boston, Stiddy addresses the media/Why not believe?

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - It's a term we throw around too much, or at least we used to. Last night, it actually happened for real. The Avs got Goalied™

14:55 - DMac made an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston yesterday, and his Boston accent crept out. It happens to the best of us when you least expect it.
Also, Stiddy finally addressed the media for the first time since being named the starting QB. How's the Mayor of Stiddy City feeling?

36:25 - Why not believe in Stiddy? Why not hop on the hype train? WHY NOT? What do you gain by being a Negative Nancy like Moser?

1-21-26 Hour 3 - Are the Pats a problem?/McDaniel to Chargers, we need Jokic back/AFC Championship forecast

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:58:42 +0000

0:00 - Are the Patriots a problem on offense? How do their offensive weapons stack up to Denver's defense?

21:25 - Mike McDaniel is headed to the Los Angeles Chargers to be their OC. The Broncos will now have to face him twice a year. He's a weird dude and maybe isn't a good head coach, but he's still a brilliant offensive mind. His weirdness will work with Harbaugh, and his playcalling will complement Justin Herbert. Watch out.
Also, it's been fun watching the depleted Nuggets win improbably games on the strength of pure friendship alone. But enough is enough. We need our big guns back, and that starts with Jokic.

34:45 - Thankfully, it won't be windy or rainy on Sunday. But it's supposed to be COLD. Bundle up, Denver. The AFC Championship game could be frigid.

1-21-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Does playoff history matter?/Vic's beef with Bostonian loudmouth idiots

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:41:06 +0000

0:00 - Has Jared Bednar finally learned what goaltender interference is? Has anyone given him an answer? Does the league even know? Let's see if Coach has done more research into one of life's many great mysteries.

21:08 - Everyone keeps bringing up how, historically, the Patriots don't play well in Denver in the playoffs. Does that actually matter in the here and now? Does the history have any bearing on Sunday's game?

33:51 - Vic has a new beef with Bostonian loudmouth idiots (a bit redundant, I know). He already has hundreds of beefs with Boston, and somehow he found a new one.

1-21-26 Hour 1 - Lakers fans broke Vic/Everyone believes in Stiddy/Use ALL your offensive pieces

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:32:49 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets lost to the Lakers last night in Denver. To add insult to injury, the Lakers practically won in front of a home crowd. Lakers fans invaded Ball Arena like they usually do. But this time, they finally broke Vic.

15:39 - We're jumping on the Jarrett Stidham Hype Train here in Denver, because why not? But it's not just here. Nationally, lots of talking heads are buying Stiddy Stock as well. Why? What makes this situation different?

32:59 - Sean Payton needs to make things easy on Stiddy. What does that mean? Use ALL your weapons on offense. Feed Mims the ball. Courtland has to step up. Evan Engram has to be a god dang Joker instead of being invisible. All hands of deck, and that starts with Payton's playcalling.

1-20-26 Hour 3 - Indiana wins the CFP/Keys to Nugs game, Drake Maye can sling it/Mendoza's storybook ending

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 17:33:00 +0000

0:00 - Indiana completed their improbably journey yesterday. They went from the cellar to the Penthouse in just 2 seasons. It proves that we're entering a new era of college football. The SEC no longer "just means more." The transfer portal and NIL have completely leveled the playing field.
Also, yesterday marked the anniversary of one of Brett Kane's all-time favorite soundbites.

15:25 - Nuggets are hosting the Lakers tonight. What are they keys to a Nuggets victory?
Also, Drake Maye can SLING it. He can move the football down the field, and Brett has the numbers to back it up.

34:20 - The ending to last night's CFP Championship Game was like something out of a movie. You couldn't have written a better ending to a Heisman-winning QB's historic season.

1-20-26 Hour 2 - Broncos strength vs Pats weakness/The Stiddy-Bo Dropoff/Uncharted Broncos territory

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 17:18:01 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos do one thing really well. And the Patriots do that thing poorly. It's one angle that could give Denver the edge in the AFC Championship.

11:14 - The dropoff in abilities between Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham isn't that steep! And that's not an insult to Bo. That's more of a compliment to Stiddy.
Friend of the Program Kyle Keefe texted Moser during this segment and made a prediction: the Broncos will win the Super Bowl with Stiddy at QB, then we'll have a full-blown QB controversy between him and Nix all offseason long.

31:18 - We're trying to predict Sunday's game as best we can, but in reality, we're in uncharted territory. We've never seen this before. A QB who hasn't attempted a pass in a regular season game in over 2 years is starting in the AFC Championship? Completely and totally unprecedented.

1-20-26 Hour 1 - Indiana wins the Natty/What even is goalie interference??/David Adelman's Bills

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Check the forecast. I think Hell might be freezing over. The Indiana Football Hoosiers are national champions. No matter how you feel about Curt Cignetti, you have to admit that he orchestrated one of the greatest turnarounds in sports history.

16:26 - We still have no idea what Goalie Interference is. We don't know, Coach Bednar doesn't know, the players don't know, and the league don't know. But at least we're all on the same page.

33:29 - David Adelman is a lifelong Bills fan and has said as much. Are we okay with that? Is it okay for the head coach of a Denver sports team to vocally support a non-Denver sports team? Especially when his Bills face off against the Broncos?

Adam Schefter thinks Payton handled his postgame presser + the Nix injury news very well

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:53:33 +0000

He broke the news that Buffalo had fired Sean McDermott, then chatted with us like 1 hour later. What a day for Adam Schefter. He also recounted the moment he heard the news about Bo's injury on Saturday night.

1-19-26 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Steve Beuerlein/Keys to the Avs game, Sean McDermott fired

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:43:19 +0000

0:00 - He broke the news that Buffalo had fired Sean McDermott, then chatted with us like 1 hour later. What a day for Adam Schefter.

17:18 - Let's chat with someone who knows a thing or two about being a backup QB in big games/big moments: former Broncos QB Steve Beuerlein! What does he think about Jarrett Stidham getting his first start in over two years...in the AFC Championship game?

34:41 - On Saturday, Sean McDermott stood up for Buffalo, dammit. Today, the Bills parted ways with him. If Josh Allen didn't turn the ball over 5 times in the game against the Broncos, Sean would still be employed today. The NFL is a wild business.

1-19-26 Hour 2 - JMac's clutch INT, Belief in Stiddy/Caleb broke Brett's brain/Use Mims more, Stiddy's ready

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:33:00 +0000

0:00 - On Saturday, Ja'Quan McMillian had one of the craziest interceptions in Broncos franchise history. It's the time of clutch play that will live forever in Broncos lore ESPECIALLY if they make it to (and dare I say WIN) the Super Bowl.
Bo Nix's injury will sideline him for the rest of the playoffs, which means Jarrett Stidham is your QB1. Whether or not we believe in him doesn't matter. Sean Payton has full confidence in his backup, and that's all that matters.

18:45 - Caleb Williams' game-tying touchdown vs the Rams last night broke our brains. It defied all logic, science, and physics. And while we're at it, let's take a look around the NFL.

31:17 - One of our callers agrees with Brett: the Broncos need to use Marvin Mims more ON OFFENSE. Sean Payton was forced to do it on Saturday because of injuries, and look what happened! Pay dirt.
Also, Sean Paytom believes in Stiddy. He didn't waste any time singing his praises. Coach praised his backup QB mere moments after telling the media that Bo Nix fractured his ankle. Let's ride.

1-19-26 Hour 1 - BRONCOS HEADED TO AFC CHAMPIONSHIP/Buffalo Crybaby Bills/Stay afloat with Stiddy

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:19:00 +0000

0:00 - Your Denver Football Broncos are headed to the AFC Championship, and they'll host the New England Patriots. But they'll be doing it without Bo Nix, after he suffered a season-ending injury late in OT. The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. How are we feeling this morning, Broncos Country?

16:11 - The losers of Buffalo, New York need to stop crying. All we've heard since Saturday night is a stream of tears thundering louder than Niagara falls. Stick a cork in it, Buffalo. YOU GET NOTHING. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR! Turn that microscope inwards and realize that you didn't lose because of the refs.

32:28 - With Bo Nix 's ankle injury, Jarrett Stidham will start for the Broncos in the AFC Championship. He doesn't need to be a world beater! Just keep the team afloat. Basically, make the throw you need to, and do the opposite of what CJ Stroud did yesterday.

1-16-26 Hour 3 - Chad Brown/Nervous about tomorrow?, LAY IT DOWN/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 18:00:07 +0000

0:00 - Let's preview tomorrow's Broncos vs Bills divisional playoff game with a man who's played in his fair share of NFL playoff games: Chad Brown!

14:44 - Brett's nervous about the Broncos game tomorrow. Not because he thinks Denver will lose. But how could you not be?? Nerves are to be expected! And think about how much is at stake for both of these teams!
Also, there are only 4 NFL games this weekend...but you better believe Moser...is still...gonna LAY IT DOWN! (and yes, I left in his grunting and breathing for all the podcast sickos who enjoy it)

31:23 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

1-16-26 Hour 2 - The rich get richer, Run Bo Run!/Offense is up and down/Keys to the Avs game, Dante Moore returns

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 17:48:14 +0000

0:00 - The Los Angeles Dodgers added ANOTHER high priced free agent yesterday. The rich keep getting richer. MLB NEEDS to put a salary cap in place. Period. It's seems more and more likely that the MLB is headed for another lockout sooner rather than later.
Also, Bo Nix has legs and he knows how to use em, or whatever ZZ Top said. The Broncos offense needs to utilize his legs tomorrow so the offense isn't one dimensional. Keep Buffalo on their toes.

16:18 - The Broncos offense is so up and down! They run hot and cold. That can't happen tomorrow. Start strong, come out of the gate flying and don't look back. We can't have an inconsistent offensive performance tomorrow.

32:07 - Avs are hosting the Predators tonight. What are the keys to a Colorado victory?
After that, Oregon QB Dante Moore has decided to return to Oregon for another year instead of declaring for the NFL Draft. Why? How much higher can his ceiling go?

1-16-26 Hour 1 - How much pressure is on Bo?/Sean made "amends" with Luca/Seahawks (maybe) without Darnold

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 17:38:15 +0000

0:00 - The narrative surrounding the game tomorrow has been almost exlusively about Josh Allen vs the Broncos Defense. But what about Bo Nix? What should the expectations be for Bo and the Broncos offense?

17:28 - Guys, calm down! Sean Payton was just joking around with Luca Evans. It's all good. ELE. Everybody love everybody.

35:30 - The Seahawks might not have Sam Darnold on tomorrow. How will Broncos Legend Drew Lock look in his place?
Also, Brett's innocuous question about the playoffs turns into a "hey remember this guy?" session about the '85 Bears.

1-15-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/How far the Mavs have fallen, What's next for Tomlin?/Jokic is a fast healer

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 18:06:40 +0000

0:00 - What's the blueprint for a Denver victory over Buffalo this Saturday? We previewed the game with our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold.

13:35 - In June 2024, the Dallas Mavericks were in the NBA Finals! Now, they're at the bottom of the barrell. How the mighty have fallen. As long as we live, we'll never understand the Luka Doncic - Anthony Davis trade.
After that, what's next for Mike Tomlin? Will he return to coaching? Should he? Or should he ride off into the media sunset and become a commentator/analyst?

33:42 - According to Shams, Jokic's recovery is going very well. He could be back sooner than expected. Unlike all of us on the show, Jokic is a fast healer.

1-15-26 Hour 2 - No more Nuggets excuses/Stop James Cook, win the game/Jamal Murray's turnaround

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 17:24:31 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets keep finding ways to win without Jokic, and they did it again last night in Dallas. From here on out, we don't want to hear any more excuses. Denver has proven they can win games with whoever is able to lace em up on any given night. "Oh, they lost because they were missing [insert player name here] isn't an acceptable excuse any more, and that's a good thing.

17:07 - We're making a call to the bullpen! DMac out, Raj in!
The Bills Mafia got mad at us online for suggesting that the key to a Broncos victory is stopping the run. Raj dug up some numbers, and low and behold: when James Cook rushes for less than 100 yards, the Bills usually lose.

32:26 - Jamal Murray is reaching new heights. He's even surpassed "Playoff Murray" or the so-called "Bubble Murray."

1-15-26 Hour 1 - Nugs beat the Mavs/Moser did Broncos research??/Bills Mafia comes after us

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Brett Kane is fighting the Denver Plauge, so DMac is back in studio to drive the bus.
Second night of a back-to-back, no Jokic, no problem. The Nuggets beat Dallas last night in Dallas and they're now #2 in the West. This stretch of non-Jokic games has gone better than any of us could've predicted or imagined, and it's awesome.

15:46 - Did Moser actually do some research into Saturday's Broncos game?? Did he look something up and then draw a conclusion based on what he found?? Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit.

35:40 - We tweeted something that angered Bills Mafia. They've staged an electronic attack on us that we haven't seen since the Greeks and Panathanaikos fans this summer.

1-14-26 Hour 3 - Will Broncos vs Bills rematch be different?/Cool facts about Buffalo, NY/3 NFL Playoff Myths

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 17:17:03 +0000

0:00 - On Saturday, we have the Broncos vs Bills playoffs rematch! Why will this year's game be different from last year's? Why do the Broncos stand a chance this time around?

13:24 - What's the deal with Buffalo, NY? Why is the Bills Mafia a thing? Why would humans voluntarily take shots of schnapps out of a bowling ball then jump through a folding table in -50 degree weather with windchill of -100?

32:01 - Yesterday, Sean Payton identified and debunked The 3 Myths of Playoff Football.

1-14-26 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/DMac taps in/Peyton Watson's conversation with Vic

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 17:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Are the Avs getting healthier? Or did they catch the same plague that we all did? The Avs actually have an extended bit of rest before they host Nasvhille on Friday. How are they using the extra time off? Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar answered all our burning questions this morning.

18:02 - We need help! Let's make a call to the bullpen. Darren "DMac" McKee (who puts the D in PHD) taps in for a sick Brett Kane.

31:45 - Vic Lombardi sat down for a one-on-one interview with Western Conference Player of the Week Peyton Watson yesterday.

1-14-26 Hour 1 - Jokic-less Nuggets beat NOLA/Sean Payton vs Luca Evans AGAIN/What to do with Watson?

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:55:08 +0000

0:00 - The Jokic-less Nuggets won AGAIN! This is not how we saw these games going, but in a good way! Peyton Watson is having himself a month. His play in January has been fantastic. You know who isn't feeling well? Poor Brett Kane. He barely survived the Appetizer then had to leave the building. The Plague comes for all of us eventually.

17:42 - Did Luca Evans kick Sean Payton's dog or something? Sean really has a bone to pick with Luca "My Name is Luca" Evans for some reason. He got after Luca again yesterday. Do we care about how he treats Luca? Is it "real" or is it playful?

36:07 - Peyton Watson is absolutely playing himself into a contract extension with the Nuggets. No question. But the problem is...can they afford him? Do they want to go into the aapron to keep him? If they don't, what are their options?

1-13-26 Hour 3 - Avs fall in OT, Athlete wear and tear/When we'll know about the Broncos/Extend George Paton

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:26:56 +0000

0:00 - OT and Shootouts are not kind to the Avs. Anything after the 3rd period is not Colorado's friend.
After that, Vic may have found a good answer for his question about why injuries are more common across all (most) sports these days.

18:09 - During Saturday's Broncos vs Bills divisional clash, when will you know if the Broncos can win? What will be the sign(s) that they'll win or lose?>

32:20 - George Paton signed a 6-year contract back in 2021, and he'll be due for an extension next year. EXTEND HIM. Aside from a couple blunders, his resume is stellar. The good far outweighs the bad, even when the bad is Russell Wilson.

1-13-26 Hour 2 - Avs home win streak ends/Jordan Seaton hits the portal/Paying the Piper, Keys to Nugs game

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 17:00:08 +0000

0:00 - The Avs lost a game at home! We're not used to seeing them take an L at Ball Arena. It's one game, and things are still fine. The panic button is still stashed deep in the basement under lock and key.
Also, Steve Kerr said injuries are more common in the NBA these days because the pace of play is WAY faster than it used to be. Nuggets legend Dan Issel disagrees.

17:44 - Another Gucci bag bites the dust. Jordan Seaton is hitting the transfer portal, and will depart from CU. The Buffs didn't have many good players last year, and one of the few ones they had is gone. Deion, CU, and the new Athletic Director need to take a good long look in the mirror and decide what they want to be.

32:37 - Bo Nix is on his rookie contract right now. The Broncos are getting him for a steal! If the Broncos win the Super Bowl this year, will they have to pay Bo immediately? He's gonna secure the bag eventually. Will that timeline change based on his success?

1-13-26 Hour 1 - Avs lose to Leafs at home/Steelers embarrassed in playoffs/Better "team" vs better QB

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 16:55:08 +0000

0:00 - The Avalance lost to the Maple Leafs in OT last night at Ball Arena. We're not used to seeing the Avs take home Ls! It's been a while.

15:48 - The Steelers got embarrassed last night in the final NFL Wild Card playoff game. Houston didn't look much better, but their offense made the plays they needed to. Iis it time to move on from Mike Tomlin? Is it time to move on from Aaron Rodgers? Heck, will Aaron Rodgers even be playing football next season?

33:05 - The Broncos are a better team overall. But the Bills have the better quarterback. In any given scenario, who has the edge: a better team, or a better QB?

Adam Schefter previews Broncos vs Bills in the Divisional Round

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 17:40:43 +0000

NFL Wild Card weekend is (almost) in the books. What are Adam Schefter's takeaways? Will Matt LaFleur have a job in Green Bay next season? Why do Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur have beef? Was it unprofessional for that Jacksonville reporter to console Liam Coen in the postgame press conference? Let's pick Shefty's brain on all of it.

1-12-26 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Keys to the Avs game, Old Timey announcer/Broncos Playoff game vs Stock Show

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 17:31:14 +0000

0:00 - NFL Wild Card weekend is (almost) in the books. What are Adam Schefter's takeaways? Will Matt LaFleur have a job in Green Bay next season? Why do Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur have beef? Was it unprofessional for that Jacksonville reporter to console Liam Coen in the postgame press conference? Let's pick Shefty's brain on all of it.

19:19 - Avs are hosting the Leafs tonight at Ball Arena! What are the keys to an Avs victory?
Also, can we get Moser to call tonight's game using an Old Timey announcer voice?

34:30 - What's your top priority: watching the Broncos playoff game this Saturday? Or going to the Stock Show with your Mother in Law?

1-12-26 Hour 2 - Broncos vs Bills revenge game/Rely on Broncos offense or defense?/Should Nuggets keep Zeke?

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 17:24:27 +0000

0:00 - The stage is set. The Broncos will host the Bills on Saturday in the Divisional Round. Denver's out for revenge, baby. They got straight up embarrassed last year in their playoff game in Buffalo. Can they flip the script this time around?

10:29 - This game vs the Bills will come down to the last possession. No question. Which scenario would you rather have: Broncos defense oneeds to make a stop to secure the win? Or Broncos offense needs to drive down the field and score to secure the win?

28:24 - In these Jokic-less games, Zeke Nnaji has looked like a servicable rotation piece. He's looking like the NBA talent we've always hoped he could be. Does this mean Adelman will keep using him? Or does it mean he's increased his trade value as the deadline gets closer?

1-12-26 Hour 1 - Bills vs Broncos rematch is set/Wild Card Weekend takeaways/Good Nuggets win

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - It's official! Next Saturday, the Broncos will host the Bills in the Divisional Round. It's a rematch of last year's Broncos playoff game. How do we feel about the Bills this time around?

21:16 - Wild Card weekend did not disappoint! It rarely does. I hope you spent the whole weekend on your tuchus watching football.

34:48 - The Jokic-less Nuggets beat the Milwaukee Bucks last night! Somehow, this scrappy squad keeps finding a way.

1-09-26 Hour 3 - Chad Brown/LAY IT DOWN/DRUNK TAKES (from the Moseys vault)

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 17:54:23 +0000

0:00 - Chad Brown joined us to break down last night's CFP game, preview tonight's Oregon vs Indiana game, and to delve into NFL Wild Card weekend.

13:56 - There's a stacked NFL playoff slate this weekend which means it's time...to LAY IT DOWN!
(side note: I used to edit out Moser's grunting and breathing from the podcast, so there wasn't a weird long gap of quasi-silence. But it turns out, you sickos enjoy maximum Mose noises. So I'll always leave them in from here on out. Lesson learned)

34:13 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.
These are Drunk Takes from the Mosey's Vault. Some of our favorite times we we sounded hammered throughout 2025.

1-09-26 Hour 2 - Josh Manson laid the SMACKDOWN/Deion to the Browns?/Erik Johnson's epic curse word

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 17:43:45 +0000

0:00 - Not only did Josh Manson have a Gordie Howe Hat Trick last night (goal, assist fight)...but he was a fight away from having a DOUBLE Gordie Howe Hat Trick. As far as we can tell, that's never happened before in NHL history.

13:16 - The NY Football Giants need a new head coach...did Jaxson Dart drop a hint about their coaching candidates? The internet lip readers seem to think so.
Also, the Cleveland Browns need a new head coach. Their starting QB (for now) is Shedeur Sanders. So you KNOW someone's gonna bring up the elephant in the room...should the Browns hire Deion as their next head coach?

30:41 - Nuggets are back at home tonight hosting the Hawks. What are the Keys to the Game?
After that, Erik Johnson shamelessly, blatantly, and intentionally dropped a GLORIOUS s-bomb on the Avalanche postgame show at Colorado Social

1-09-26 Hour 1 - Avs DESTROY Senators 8-2/Enough with the SEC...they're toast/Wild Card Weekend Predictions

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 17:33:44 +0000

0:00 - Avs needed a get right game and they got one. Boy, did they EVER! An 8-2 beatdown of Ottawa that included 2 separate heavyweight fights. Good work, boys.

16:33 - Miami beat Ole Miss last night which means...an SEC team will not with the college football championship this year. It's official: ENOUGH with the SEC bias. "It just means more," huh? Well it didn't seem to matter much this year.

36:46 - Let's preview all the matchups from a stacked NFL Wild Card weekend that kicks off tomorrow. Brett & Mose developed a new system to evaluate QBs: guttural sounds.

1-08-26 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Best Broncos divisional opponent?/Trae Young joins...the Wizards?

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:43:41 +0000

0:00 - Our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold joined us to preview Wild Card weekend, and discuss the firing of Mike McDaniel and what's next for Miami.

18:35 - If you ask 10 Broncos fans who they want to face in the Divisional round, you'll get 10 different answers. Why is that? Why can nobody decide on a favorable matchup for Denver?

34:01 - Trae Young wanted out of Atlanta, and he specifically chose to head to...the Washington Wizards? Huh?

1-08-26 Hour 2 - Jamal Murray has stepped up/Mike McDaniel fired by Dolphins/Broncos sustainability

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:38:28 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets won AGAIN last night, on the road, in a hostile enviroment, with no Jokic. The biggest positive takeaway from this East Coast road trip has been...Jamal Murray. He's absolutely stepping up to lead this depleted roster.

14:10 - The Avalanche power play is still a problem...but the penalty kill is really good. They have half of their special teams woes figured out.
Mid-segment, the news broke that the Dolphins have fired Mike McDaniel. Is John Harbaugh taking his talents to South Beach?

32:22 - All season long, Brett has questioned whether or not the Broncos' method of winning games is "sustainable." Well, they're the 1 seed in the AFC. Clearly it was sustainable. Why? What made it sustainable?

1-08-26 Hour 1 - Depleted Nuggets win AGAIN!/Nervous about losing VJ/Ole Miss vs Miami

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:30:40 +0000

0:00 - Down, but never out. The depleted Nuggets wrapped up their East Coast road trip by beating the Celtics in Boston! How da ya like them apples?? Looking back on the last few games, what have we learned about this Nuggets team, and more specifically, the bench?

17:15 - Lots of NFL teams are interested in hiring Vance Joseph to be their head coach right now. He has a whole slate of interviews lined up in the bye week. Let's be honest...the Broncos climbed to the AFC 1 seed on the back of the defense. Not the offense. So, could this team survive losing VJ? Or would that be a big blow?

35:12 - The CFP rolls on tonight! It's Ole Miss taking on Miami. Who are you rooting for? Do you have a vested interest in either team?

The 2025 Mosey Awards

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:48:05 +0000

Didn't get enough of the Moseys over the past few days?? Not sure how that's possible! But if you're still craving more Moseys insanity, here's the recap of the 2025 edition. It got scrubbed from the podcast over the summer, so I'm bringing it back.
Take a walk down memory lane, guided by our favorite British fill-in traffic reporter, Vic D.

Full disclosure, I had to edit out one song from the "singing" category for copyright reasons. So you all will have to sing I Keep Forgettin (Russ Ain't Here Anymore) on your own. I trust you all to sing better than we did.

The 2026 Mosey Awards

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:34:57 +0000

1-07-26 Hour 3 - Jared Bednar/Keys to the Nugs Game, More Moseys/Ed Sprinkle Lifetime Achievement Award

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:06:30 +0000

0:00 - The Avs just returned from a 3 game road trip out East. They won one, and lost back-to-back games in regulation. Plus, Landeskog got injured and will miss some time. All things considered, how is Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling about his squad right now?
Plus, let's get Coach's thoughts on a particularly loaded Moseys category. After Coach, the next Moseys category is: Best? Worst? Sexual Tension.

21:00 - The Nuggets are FINALLY on the last game of their marathon East Coast road trip. Tonight, they face the Celtics in Boston?

It's essentially our version of a jersey retirement.

1-07-26 Hour 2 - Consecutive Avs Regulation losses??/A's trademark rejected/NFL teams courting Davis Webb

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 17:51:26 +0000

0:00 - The Avs lost back-to-back games in regulation, and we don't know how to handle it. It's been ages! Also, some good news: according to Shams Charania, Jokic is making great progress in his injury recovery, and he could be back later this month.
Next Moseys categories: Worst Analogy, Let's Not Get HR Involved

16:24 - Turns out, someone snatched the trademark for both "Las Vegas Athletics" and "Vegas Athletics"...which means the ACTUAL TEAM isn't allowed to use them.
Next Moseys categories: Worst Prediction, Worst Question That May or May Not Be a Question

31:04 - David Webb, the QB guru wunderkind, is being courted by lots of NFL teams right now. He could get hired as an OC or even a head coach! Both Webb and Vance Joseph might leave Denver and move up the NFL ladder.
Next Moseys categories: Worst Treatment of Each Other, Huh??

1-07-26 Hour 1 - Avs lose again, 2026 Moseys continue/More portal madness/SPECIFIC Broncos playoff concerns

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 17:34:20 +0000

0:00 - Man, we're not used to this feeling. The Avalanche lost their second straight game in regulation! They've doubled their regulation loss total from last year in the first 6 days of January. Even still, it's not time to panic YET. The Avs are still in a fantastic situation.
It's Day 2 of the 2026 Moseys, our annual awards show honoring all the worst stuff we did in the previous year. Today's first categories are: Nailed It and PHRASING!

20:42 - The NCAA transfer portal is wide open, and there's more and more insanity with each passing day. It's like the Wild West out there. The latest example: Washington Huskies QB Demond Williams entered the portal 4 days after signing a new deal to return to Washington for another season.
Next Moseys Category: Worst Toss to Break

1-06-26 Hour 2 - A Predictably Unpredictable Win, More Moseys/Epic football weekend/Two More Moseys

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 17:46:08 +0000

0:00 - That was the most predictably unpredictable win by your Denver Nuggets yesterday. Credit the young guns, man. They all stepped up under the bright lights of the P'Cock. What an upset over the (fully healthy Embiid-led) 76ers in Philly.
Next Moseys Category: (Mostly) Vic vs Stats.

14:24 - We have an epic football-watching weekend coming up. Two days of CFP games, followed up 3 days of NFL playoff games. Strap in. Crack some beer. Don't both leaving your couch from Thursday-Monday.

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 17:33:09 +0000

0:00 - The most predictably unpredictable win EVER! The Nuggets always pull these crazy games out of their hat. In Philly, second night of a back to back, everyone either hurt or resting...and you beat a fully-healthy 76ers squad. One of, if not the greatest, Nuggets win of all time.
Next, it's our favorite day(s) of the year. The Moseys are back. It's our annual awards show where look back on all the stupid things we've done in the past year. First category: Worst Bodily Function.

Adam Schefter joins us on Black Monday amidst a smorgasbord of firings

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 17:35:58 +0000

It's Black Monday aka one of Schefter's busiest days of the year. And yet, he still carved out a few minutes for us. What does Schefty think of the head coach firings so far? What are his thoughts on the NFL's playoff picture, which is finally set in stone?

1-05-26 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Pete Carroll fired, Keys to the Game/Payton on Broncos bye week plan

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 17:32:45 +0000

0:00 - It's Black Monday aka one of Schefter's busiest days of the year. And yet, he still carved out a few minutes for us. What does Schefty think of the head coach firings so far? What are his thoughts on the NFL's playoff picture, which is finally set in stone?

14:22 - The Vegas Raiders locked up the #1 pick in the NFL draft then fired Pete Carroll. Are they going to draft Fernando Mendoza?
Also, no rest for your Nuggets! They play again tonight in Philadelphia. What are the Keys to a Nuggets bounce-back victory?

33:27 - The Broncos locked up the AFC's 1 seed and secured a first round bye. What are their plans for the bye week? How is it different from the regular in-season bye week?

1-05-26 Hour 2 - Satisfied with the Broncos win?/Around the NFL/In the Groove, Landy's injury from yesterday

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 17:23:42 +0000

0:00 - Are you satisfied with yesterday's Broncos win? A win is a win AND they secured the AFC's 1 seed. Or did you want to see more from the offense? Do style points matter?

20:33 - Let's take a look AROUND THE NFL! The last weekend of the regular season never disappoints, especially the Sunday Night affair between the Ravens and the Steelers.

38:06 - Which Broncos players were in the groove yesterday? Was anyone on the offensive side of the ball in the groove?
Also, has Moser gotten an update on Landy's injury yet? Why are NHL teams so vague with "upper body" or "lower body," etc? Why don't they ever explain what's actually going on?

1-05-26 Hour 1 - Broncos lock up AFC's 1 seed/Landeskog injured in Avs loss/"Unprofessional" Nuggets

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 17:16:21 +0000

0:00 - It's officially official. Your Denver Broncos are the AFC 1 seed. They have a first round bye, and the road to the Super Bowl runs through Denver, Colorado.
Stop me if you've heard this before...the defense was stellar yesterday, but the offense looked a bit anemic. Did you want to see more from the offense against the SuperChargers JV squad? Do style points matter? Or do you not care about any of that because A WIN IS A WIN IS A WIN and the 1 seed is locked up, baby!

22:37 - The Avs lost their 3rd regulation game of the season, but that wasn't the worst part. Gabe Landeskog went crashing into the net, then left the game with an injury. THANKFULLY, it doesn't look like another knee injury.

34:22 - Aaron Gordon and Christan Braun returned to the Nuggets lineup yesterday, and they lost to a 10-win Brooklyn Nets squad. In the postgame, Coach Adelman was less than pleased with the effort, to say the least.

1-02-26 Hour 3 - Don't Misuse DaRon Holmes/Broncos vs Chargers is a playoff game/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 17:28:25 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets are running out of healthy guys to put on a basketball court. Their supply is dwindling. It's time to start utilizing DaRon Holmes. Brett is concerned they'll use him in the wrong position like Malone did with Zeke Nnaji for years. But Vic says...what choice to they have?

12:01 - Broncos vs Chargers is a playoff game. Period. No two ways about it. If the Broncos win, they advance to the divisional round. That's essentially a playoff win. It doesn't matter how many players the Chargers are resting. Denver NEEDS to think of this as a playoff game.

30:35 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

1-02-26 Hour 2 - CFP Takeaways/Chad Brown/Keys to the (Depleted) Nuggets game

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 17:15:14 +0000

0:00 - We were treated to a delicious slate of CFP games on New Year's Eve/New Year's Day. What did we learn from those games?

19:44 - What does Chad Brown think about the CFP so far and the overall state of college football? Does he agree with Brett and Vic that Bama, and the SEC overall, are frauds who are propped up by years of previous success?

39:50 - The Nuggets are running out of warm bodies to put on a basketball court. So, that being said...what are they Keys to a Nuggets victory tonight?

1-02-26 Hour 1 - Two glorious days of CFP/Another Nuggets injury!?/Avs score 1000 1P goals on NYE

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Georgia is out of the CFP. Ohio State got bounced. Bama got DEESTROYED by Indiana. What an insane 2 days of college football. So much for the mighty SEC. Maybe it doesn't actually mean more after all.

16:39 - The Nuggets hadn't suffered enough injuries, so let's pile on another! Jonas Valanciunas tweaked his calf on NYE, and he'll be re-evaluated in 4 weeks. Sheesh. 60% of Denver's salary cap is now out of the lineup.

34:58 - The Avalanche scored 4 goals vs the Blues...BEFORE THE FIRST TV TIMEOUT OF THE GAME. That was a truly dominant performance on New Year's Eve at Ball Arena. And the best part? They did it against Jordan Water Bottle Binnington. Happy New Year!

12-31-25 Hour 3 - Stoked for Broncos vs Chargers?/Worthy Olympic sports, Keys to the Game/CFP predictions

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 17:59:16 +0000

0:00 - Moser's having trouble getting excited for Broncos vs the JV Chargers squad. By all accounts, the Broncos should SMASH them. If they do, it's what's expected. If they don't, we'll be disappointed. If they lose...I don't even wanna go there. So how can we get PUMPED FOR THIS GAME??

19:11 - Every 2 years, Moser looks at the full slate of events in the upcoming Olympics and deems which ones are worthy and which ones aren't. Spoiler alert: most of them aren't. Let's dig up some memorable Olympic rants from the past.
Next, both the Avs are Nuggets are playing tonight! This calls for a double diparoo Keys to the Game.

34:00 - As the CFP continues tonight and tomorrow, what are we expecting to see? What do we hope to see? Did the committee "get it right" with the teams they selected? Also, if a team loses and makes an early exit, do you think they shouldn't have been there in the first place? Do you follow that school of thought?

12-31-25 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Vic's monumental achievement/RIP MTV, Judging David Adelman

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 17:47:40 +0000

0:00 - One final Avs game in 2025! How's Jared Bednar feeling about his squad? On Monday in his postgame interview, he said he was concerned about the Power Play. Why? Can we expect to see Logan O'Connor any time soon? And most importantly, which member of the morning show would Bednar NOT want to see his daughter date?

20:53 - Against all odds, Vic is embarking on an impossible mission. He's determined to reach his goal, even if his body isn't built for the task.

34:29 - RIP MTV 3 even though it hasn't had any M for like 20 years at this point. We'll miss seeing 24 straight hours of Ridiculousness. (btw the "Real" MTV song Moser had me to play was "Lay It Down.")
After that, how much will you judge David Adelman based on the non-Jokic games over the next month?

12-31-25 Hour 1 - Expectations for Jokic-less Nuggets/Broncos playoff expectations/Hate-watching CFP

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 17:34:41 +0000

0:00 - Alright folks, let's be honest. What are REASONABLE expectations for the Nuggets without Jokic? Remember, he'll be out for at least 4 weeks, and the Nuggets are missing 3 other starters. So REALISTICALLY what should we expect to see while Jokic is out?

20:45 - What are your expectations for the Broncos in the playoffs? Do they need to make the AFC Championship game? The Super Bowl? Would you be satisfied if they secure the AFC 1 seed, earn a bye week, then lose in the divisional round? Where's the bar?

35:38 - We're looking forward to all the CFP games coming up, but for the wrong reasons. Is there anything better than hate-watching college football? Most of the hatred comes from the selection process. Somehow, there's still no consistency in how the teams are chosen.

12-30-25 Hour 3 - Awaiting Jokic MRI results/Good Jokic injury news/Nuggets need to reinvent themselves

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 17:40:04 +0000

0:00 - We can speculate all we want about how good or bad Jokic's injury is. But none of it matters until we get the MRI results back. The rumors are just that: rumors.

14:43 - FINALLY! MRI confirmed no structural damage to Jokic's left knee. It was a hyperextension injury. He'll be re-evaluated in 4 weeks. That doesn't mean he'll be back in 4 weeks. He'll be re-evaluated. So the Nuggets will be without him for at least a month, maybe more. Still, that's really good news considering how bad his injury looked yesterday.

31:45 - 4 weeks minimum without Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets will need to adapt and re-invent themselves. David Adelman, time to earn your stripes as a coach. Show us how deep the playbook goes.

12-30-25 Hour 2 - Implications of losing Jokic/AFC #1 seed is RIGHT there/NFL HOF Finalists

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 17:28:09 +0000

0:00 - We're crossing our fingers, toes, tongue, anything that's crossable and hoping for good news regarding Nikola Jokic's injury he suffered last night. He definitely hurt his knee, but no word yet if there's any structural damage. No matter what, Jokic will miss some time. How will the already depleted Nuggets make due without him?

15:30 - Now that the Chargers are resting starters vs the Broncos on Sunday, including Justin Herbert, you HAVE to lock up that AFC 1 seed. But here's an interesting question...if the Broncos get the 1 seed, have a first round bye, then lose their divisional round game...are you okay with that? They didn't win a playoff game, but they did technically make it past the first round.

33:58 - The NFL released their list of finalists for the 2026 Hall of Fame class. As always, we agree with some of them, disagree with others, and aren't sure about some as well.

12-30-25 Hour 1 - Jokic injured last night/Chargers will rest Herbert vs Broncos/Bednar concerned about PP

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Last night, Nikola Jokic left the game with an apparent knee injury he suffered in the 2nd quarter. Hopefully, it's nothing structural and he just suffered a bone bruise. We won't know anything until Joker undergoes a full evaluation with an MRI. As we await the results...we imagine/try not to imagine a world without Jokic on the court.

16:35 - Yesterday, Jim Harbaugh announced that he will rest Justin Herbert and other starters TBD vs the Broncos on Sunday. The AFC #1 seed is now on a SILVER PLATTER for Denver. All they have to do is beat the JV San Diego Superchargers of Los Angeles AT HOME, and the crown is theirs.

34:09 - The Avs grinded out another grimy win vs the LA Kings last night. They're continuing to prove they can win all sorts of games, including gross ones where they power past mistakes. Speaking of power past mistakes, Bednar said he's concerned with the lack of production on the power play.

14:09 - The Avalanche and the Nuggets both play tonight, so we need a double diparoo KEYS TO THE GAME. This one turned into, quite possibly, the longest Keys to the Game on record. It was bordering on a triple Keysaroo.

30:52 - Did the Broncos with the AFC West because they're the best team? Or because the Chiefs took a step back? If the Chiefs were still the Chiefs, would the Broncos still have clinched the West? What do we say? What do the national pundits say?

33:55 - Moser was about 40 minutes late to his own radio program this morning, because his good ol' jalopy was giving him serious trouble. Moser vs Car Issues is one of the great underrated rivalries in sports.

16:16 - The Nuggets won in OT last night over the Timberwolves, and they did it without three of their starters. If Cam Johnson is out for longer than 4-6 weeks, should the Nuggets try to shore up their roster? How would they even go about doing that?

33:01 - Believe it or not there are Broncos in The Groove after last night's game. Vic, Mose and Mat discuss who's groovin' and one last time before Brett Kane returns, Mat "Lucky Louie" Smith LAYS IT DOWN.

12-26-25 Hour 2 - Et Tu, Barkley?/What's up with Herbstreit's dog/Is Jokic the GOAT big man?

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 18:17:37 +0000

0:00 - Vic and Mose are BLINDSIGHTED by Mat Smith as Smith tells 'em Jokic was lowballed last night by one Charles Barkley at half time...in the middle of a game where Jokic put up 56 and a triple double. When will the disrespect end???

14:09 - The gang discusses the finer points of Broncos/Chiefs and how the Broncos were able to gut out a win on the margins. They also learn something about Bo Nix that they had never heard before.

32:21 - Mat comes back with RECIEPTS on Charles Barkley not putting Jokic in the same category as Shaq, Wilt, Hakeem, the Mt. Rushmore of Big Men. Is Jokic already standing head and shoulders above them? What's it gonna take for fans to accept that notion?

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 17:59:36 +0000

0:00 - Vic, Moser, and Mat Smith are back to talk Broncos as they beat the Chiefs 20-13 on Christmas night. Mat is cool with the win, so is Vic, Moser....is less enthusiastic about it. Should fans care more about the process or the results on this one?

20:22 - Meanwhile, the Nuggets and Timberwolves stayed up late last night playing one of the best games of the year as the Nuggets win 142-138 in OT. Jokic had a 56 point triple double in that game, which begs the question...is that the single greatest Christmas Day performance in league history?

36:17 - The win was good, wins are always good, but Vic and Mose can't help but be a little bit concerned about the Broncos performing the way they did on Thursday night vs the Chiefs. Is it just another mid-week football game hiccup? Or is it an ill omen for the playoffs?

12-24-25 Hour 3 - Danan Hughes joins the show/Mat kicks on the hot stove/Nuggets undermanned on Xmas?

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Mat Smith all have a pretty good idea of how this Broncos-Chiefs game is gonna go down on Christmas, but what they didn't know was that the days of those games being at Arrowhead are now on a timer with the team moving to the flipside of the Missouri-Kansas border. They gonna call themselves the Kansas Chiefs? Just scribble the City part out?

13:00 - It's been almost half an hour since the boys talked about that time John Elway joined the program on December 23rd, 2025. Mose tries to do a two legged bucking motion. We're kinda losing the plot here.

He covers the Jacksonville Jaguars for the Associated Press, and 4 years ago, he joined our show and said "the Broncos should come in here and beat that ass!"

17:43 - Avalanche are hosting the Jets tonight! What are the Keys to the Game? And after that...always assume any mic is a hot mic! That's the first rule of broadcasting. The Radio PxP voice of the Philadelphia Flyers forgot about that rule last night.

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 17:33:21 +0000

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:58:11 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday's Avs win in Seattle was uncommon for a couple different reasons. First of all, they had to battle back from a deficit (which usually doesn't happen to this squad). Second of all, they scored a power play goal! It happened! What did Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar think of his squad's thrilling win over the Kraken?

17:51 - Have you ever laughed yourself to tears at a joke YOU made? Ryker certainly did on the Avalanche broadcast last night.
Next, we have so many good soundbites to get through! Let's CHOP IT UP!

33:49 - Tua Turndaballova has officially been benched by the Miami Dolphins. Quinn Ewers will be the starter for the remained of the season. Man...what do the Dolphins do with that contract?

0:00 - We gave him an extra hour of sleep since the Avalanche arrived so late last night...or early this morning, I guess. But now...it's time...for a delirious Marc Moser...to make an appearance...on his own radio show. Will he be able to string a sentence together! Who knows?

13:59 - What are Moser's final takeaways from the Broncos vs Packers game before we shift our signs to Jacksonville?
Also, Vic's daughter is trying to break the law, and she needs Vic's help to make it happen.

34:18 - Lots of stuff happening right now in the sports world! Let's hit some headlines.

12-17-25 Hour 1 - Avs rallied to beat the Kraken/Empty out the Broncos notebook/Knicks win Emirates NBA Cup™

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:36:53 +0000

0:00 - The Avs actually trailed the Kraken at one point last night. It actually happened! A team had a lead over the Avs! But Colorado battled back with 3 goals in the 3rd period to drown the Kraken. And on top of it all...they actually scored a Power Play goal!

17:45 - We're a few days removed from the Broncos beating the Packers. Before we turn the page to the Jaguars game, what are some final takeaways we have from the clash with the Cheeseheads?

36:37 - Broncos vs Packers drew record viewership numbers on CBS. Also, turns out Rockets head coach Ime Udoka might be onto something. According to the NBA's 2 minute report, the officially made 3 incorrect calls during OT that all benefitted the Nuggets. But guess what? We've all been there. Happens to the best of us.
Lastly, the New York Knickerbockers won the Emirates NBA Cup™ last night. Do we care about this thing yet? Do the players care? Should we care?

33:20 - Rockets big man Alperen Şengün said he doesn't get the calls Jokic gets in a game. But it makes sense. Jokic had to work to get there. Really Alpie? You wanna talk about Jokic getting the benefit of the whistle? That's the guy you wanna bring up Alpie?

12-16-25 Hour 2 - Jokic doesn't like Jokmas/Public enemy #1, Contender or Pretender?/Contender or Pretender Pt 2

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 18:12:39 +0000

After that, looking at the NFL Playoff Picture...which teams are Contenders, and which teams are Pretenders?

33:35 - Let's sort through the remaining Contenders and Pretenders.

12-16-25 Hour 1 - A Merry Jokmas to All!/Green noise, Avoiding 3rd & long/MNF takeaways, Chiefs will be back?

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 18:00:40 +0000

0:00 - And to all a good night! I hope everyone enjoyed Jokmas yesterday. The Nuggets held off the Rockets in a OT thriller at Ball Arena. But funny enough, Jokic wasn't the guy who made the clutch plays in the final moments to seal the win. It was...Spencer Jones?

17:55 - Moser needs green noise to sleep. Not white noise. Green noise?
After that, Sean Payton addressed the media in his weekly zoom presser. He was asked about how the team managed 3rd downs better in the Packers game. For the most part, they avoided 3rd and long all game. How is the offense developing as the season unfolds?

34:37 - The Steelers beat the Dolphins in Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football yesterday. Are the Steelers for real? Or are they headed for another 9-7 playoff berth followed by a Wild Card round loss? The annual tradition.
After that, Patrick Mahomes underwent surgery to repair his ACL. When he returns, will the Chiefs still be the same juggernaut? Can they pick up where they left off without skipping a beat?

Adam Schefter doesn't care what critics have to say about the Denver Broncos

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 17:50:21 +0000

Have the Broncos proven the doubters wrong? Has Bo Nix silenced the critics? Who cares?? Adam Schefter doesn't care what anyone has to say about the Broncos. They're winning, and they're the top seed in the AFC. They're riding an 11-game win streak. That's all that matters to Schefty. Critics be damned.

15:35 - Let's run through all the biggest stories from the sports weekend. Everything from Fernando Mendoza winning the Heisman to Philip Rivers challenging Father Time.

32:46 - Mile High was ROCKIN yesterday during the Broncos vs Packers game. That building was loud. Home field advantage is a big deal for the Broncos. It really helps. That's why it's incredibly important for the Broncos to secure the 1 seed in the AFC. The Road to the Super Bowl needs to run through Mile High.

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 17:47:22 +0000

0:00 - Jordan Love has incredible stats during Toyotathon. The numbers don't lie. Can the Broncos defense compete with those scary numbers?

15:39 - The Broncos Coordinators (sounds like a weird boy band?) addressed the media yesterday. Vance Joseph spoke about the threat that the Packers offense poses, and Darren Rizzi fillibustered with some word salad about why he decided not to kick a field goal in a key moment of the Raiders game last week.

32:56 - Mat made a classic mistake that we've all made before, and it scared him to death. After that, is it officially time for Al Michaels to hang up his headset and ride off into the sunset?

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 17:30:12 +0000

15:18 - It's a bit early, but are there some potential trade moves the Nuggets and Avalanche should make? Do they have some capital to use? Or should they keep their young players and continue developing them?
After that, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers collapsed on Thursday Night Football and lost to the Falcons at the buzzer. Bucs' coach Todd Bowles was disgusted with his team's performance and dropped about 10 no-no words in the span of 25 seconds after the game.

34:57 - Coach O joined Bussin' With the Boys recently and told a crazy story about recruiting Joe Burrow to play at LSU. Recruiting used to be wild back in the day, and somehow the NIL/Portal era has made it even wilder.

17:09 - Mat had a revelation about the Broncos. Or is it an epiphany? Which one is he allowed to have?

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 18:00:20 +0000

But more importantly...The Altitude TV crew debuted a brand new country single last night! "Colorado Wagon." Shame it came after a loss, though.

18:11 - Doesn't matter if the Broncos win by a little or win by a lot...Payton's not gonna be all sunshine and rainbows when he addresses the media.

35:00 - Yesterday, Deion Sanders hosted an event highlighting the importance of men's health. Vic got to interview Deion and moderate the discussion. Two men who have both struggled with (and beaten) cancer. Vic said Prime was completely open and honsest about the state of his physical and mental health.

Adam Schefter still likes the Broncos' chances...but can they get it done in the postseason?

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 18:32:54 +0000

Make it 10 WINS IN A ROW for your Denver Broncos! Their 11-2 record shot them back to the top of the NFL standings. On top of that, the Chiefs lost last night and are unable to win the AFC West for the first time in a decade. What does ESPN's Adam Schefter make of this changing of the guard?

0:00 - What was the most impressive part of yesterday's Broncos win?

14:16 - Alright, we've made Vic behave long enough. Let's give him the floor and get out of the way. His beloved Fighting Irish were snubbed by the CFP committee. They were left out of the expanded playoff bracket, even though their resume should've earned them a spot...or so says the Gold Domer.

32:04 - Jameis Winston & Russell Wilson spent the Giants bye week by taking their talents to the NFL studio! Jameis kicked it with Fox and Russ headed to CBS. How did they do? Is this an audition for next season perhaps?

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 17:25:09 +0000

0:00 - Apparently an ankle wasn't gonna keep Jamal Murray from bringing back the blue arrow for a fifty piece with 10/11 three point shooting in a 135-120 Nuggets win on Wednesday night. Vic, Mose, and Mat Smith spend the segment in just pure awe.

17:10 - Sean Payton talked to the media about some acquisitions the Broncos made over the week, signing Elijah Moore, etc.. He also talked about RJ Harvey and how to juice the offense via the run game. The gang invites Chad Brown in to talk about these moves and all things Broncos.

11:51 - How is the NFL playoff picture shaping up and where do the Broncos fit into it? After that, a report came out yesterday that CU is having some money trouble. Their athletic department is forcasting a HUGE deficit for the fiscal year ending in June 2026. Is this legit? Or is this some clickbait fool's gold? More importantly, how much does the money matter in today's college football landscape?

11-26-25 Hour 1 - Avs vs Sharks preview, New CSU coach/Great Broncos ownership/Deion's final Tuesday presser

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Avs are back in action tonight against the scrappy San Jose Sharks. They're certainly had their struggles in recent years, but Moser says they have a strong young core. That Macklin Celebrini is legit. Don't count them out!
Next, the CSU Rams have a new head football coach and it's a GREAT hire for the program.

18:06 - We've said it again and we'll say it again: the current Broncos ownership group is AWESOME. Don't discount how great this ownership group is. The Wal-Mart regime gets things done when it wants to. That makes all the difference in the word.

32:42 - For the last time this season, Coach Prime addressed the media up in Boulder. He announced his decision to redshirt Juju Lewis and give Kaidon Salter in the final game of the year. He made SURE to clarify it's his decision, not Juju's. If we're planning for the long term, this is absolutely the right decision.

11-25-25 Hour 3 - Host plays hooky/More goblin talk/Anyone care that Jokic is beasting right now?

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 18:33:51 +0000

0:00 - Guest host Mat Smith had to bounce to catch Coach Prime's last media scrum of the season, so the gang felt it was proper to reflect on the season so far and try to figure out why the Buffs are so volatile.

16:23 - Vic and Mose play the schedule game with the Nuggets and see where they can take advantage of some other shorthanded teams while CB and AG are out. Plus, eeeeeeeeverybody wants their reindeers painted and eeeeeeeverybody wants to be called a goblin.

33:52 - Vic and Mose get a special guest fact check from the new help and wonder if people are lowballing the crazy feats of hoop that Jokic has been up to, especially that half court heave at the buzzer last night.

11-25-25 Hour 2 - Peyton Watson on the come-up?/Broncos offense need an extra gear?/...Is Denver a baseball town?

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 18:04:27 +0000

0:00 - Nuggets got some bench players showing up and showing out while Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon are out with injuries. The gang talks about what the options are for the Nuggets if guys like Peyton Watson keep their hot hand hot.

14:33 - There isn't a whole lot going wrong for the 9-2 Denver Broncos, but that doesn't mean there isn't an extra gear they can hit to make themselves undeniable Super Bowl contenders. The fellas talk about what the Broncos can do offensively to keep up with the defense playing at an elite level.

33:30 - The Rockies announced who their new skipper is gonna be for the 2026 season and the gang is whelmed. Not super crazy about it. It begs the question, is talent acquistion more important for this team to become relevant again or does it start with the coaching staff? On that topic...is Denver a baseball town?

11-25-25 Hour 1 - Shorthanded Nuggets take care of Memphis/SNF preview/Mose's big swing pays off

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 17:47:36 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets had a short bench, shot a lot of threes, and beat the Grizzlies in Memphis by 10. The gang wonders how that kind of play is going to hold up against better teams coming up in the next month.

17:07 - The Broncos are heading to the DMV to take on a short-handed Commanders squad. The gang ponders if the Commanders are gonna hurt a lot or a lot a lot.

34:28 - Moser made a bet that the Browns had to make Shedeur Sanders their starting quarterback going into this weekend...and that bet paid off! What does the trepidation say about Sanders, Kevin Stefanski, and the Browns organization as a whole?

Adam Schefter - No Broncos fans should've rooted for the Chiefs against the Colts yesterday

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:16:59 +0000

Are the Browns ready to commit to Shedeur Sanders after the big win in Vegas yesterday? Are the Chiefs for real (again?) after their comeback win at Arrowhead? Let's pick the brain of ESPN's Adam Schefter.

11-24-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Schefty reaction, Mat's awkward plane story/MNF preview, tough Nugs road ahead

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:14:50 +0000

0:00 - Are the Browns ready to commit to Shedeur Sanders after the big win in Vegas yesterday? Are the Chiefs for real (again?) after their comeback win at Arrowhead? Let's pick the brain of ESPN's Adam Schefter.

14:09 - The guys reacted to Schefty's takes on the Chiefs being for real, and the Broncos being legit Super Bowl contenders.
Next, Mat had a very awkward interaction with a stranger on a plane yesterday...but who hasn't had one of those? More importantly, was Mat in the wrong? Or did handle the situation correctly?

33:14 - Niners are hosting the Panthers tonight on Monday Night Football. Do we care about that game? Should we care?
Next, the Nuggets are entering a brutal stretch of their schedule. They're gonna take about 1000 flights in the next 10 days. But who's counting? Vic wonders who designed this part of their schedule, and why they did it.

11-24-2025 Hour 2 - The Avs keep doin' it/Around the NFL - who's still doin' it?/The hosts keep doin' it (having kids)

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:04:20 +0000

0:00 - The Avs got shutouts in back-to-back games over the weekend, the gang talks about Blackwood and Wedgewood playing their tails off and how the Avs are still finding ways to win games.

15:03 - The gang goes Around the NFL and check up on some other AFC teams in the playoff picture and can hardly believe the AFC North power struggle between the Ravens and the Steelers. A tip of the cap to the Browns for doing something good! For once! With Shedeur Sanders!

34:16 - Vic and Mose drop some knowledge darts on being parents and the gang check the temperature on how Avs fans should be feeling about the nuclear hot start for the team this season. On a number scale...because how else can you express your feelings about something?

11-24-25 Hour 1 - Who's the new guy?/Stefanski no-selling Shedeur?/Broncos sure shot for the AFC 1 seed?

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 17:38:41 +0000

0:00 - The new guy introduces himself while Lombardi and Mose try to find out what the hell happened to Kane.

16:52 - Lombardi horses around with his fancy new camera, the gang also take a gander at the other AFC teams in the playoff picture and wonder if Browns HC Kevin Stefanski was no-selling Shedeur Sanders winning a game in his first career start.

34:35 - The Avalanche, Nuggets, and Broncos are firing on all cylinders right now...what could trip them up? Where's the fly in the ointment? Is there a fly at all?

11-21-25 Hour 3 - Avs are Freight train, wagon, stream roller/LAY IT DOWN!!!/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 17:40:53 +0000

0:00 - Pick whichever unstoppable vehicle you want. That's what the Avs are. Last night, they beat the Rangers 6-3 at Ball Arena. And that was a PHYSICAL game. It got gritty and nasty for a sec, and the Avs still grinded it out and won. Ground it out? Stuck with it and won. They're proving they can win any kind of game this year.

10:45 - Do you have some spare quarters in the center console of your Ford Pinto? Take that Pinto...drive it to Blackhawk...take all your change...and LAY IT DOWN!!!!

28:31 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!
Today's edition includes: inbred bunion thumbs, the little hole, carbon, he's a squealer, and READY? OKAY!

11-21-25 Hour 2 - The Avs are DOMINATING/Shedeur Sanders' first start/Family Feud

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 17:34:22 +0000

0:00 - Statistically, the Avs are already the best team in the NHL. And they still don't even have an effective power play. It's crazy to think this team will get even better!

14:26 - Shedeur Sanders will make his first NFL start with the Cleveland Browns this weekend. They're facing the Raiders in Vegas. That game is MUST WATCH. The funny thing is...whether or not Sheduer looks great, Kevin Stefanski still looks bad. He's truly put himself in a lose-lose situation.

33:25 - This is Brett's last show for awhile...we're bored on the Broncos bye week...it's a Friday...that means...IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE FEUD!

11-21-25 Hour 1 - Avs win 7th straight game!/How important is the QB really?/Jokic & Vic in the steam room

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 17:26:08 +0000

0:00 - The Avs beat the Rangers 6-3 last night at Ball Arena! They have now won 7 games in a row! I know we've said this before, but we'll say it again. This year's squad really feels different, man. It's not last year's squad. The 25-26 Avs are LEGIT. Their only weakness is the power play. If they fix it, they'll be truly unstoppable.

18:46 - Last night, the Davis Mills-lead Houston Texans defeated the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen (aka the reigning NFL MVP, last time we checked). It sent us down a QB rabbit hole and got us thinking...in the current NFL, how important is the QB to a team? Are they still the most important element for constructing a winning roster? Or is the tide turning?

34:42 - Vic is in Houston with the Nuggets right now. Last night, he found himself in the steam room with Nikola Jokic, and they had a strange interaction with a stranger who wandered in.

11-20-25 Hour 3 - Luca "Evan" Evans joins the show/Peyton Watson's breakout night/Did Brett cross a line?

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 17:51:01 +0000

0:00 - Lord knows we've gotten Sean Payton's side of the story...Let's get the other side. Luca "Evan" Evans of the Denver Post joined us to share his perspective on Payton's prickly demeanor during press conferences. His name is Luca, by the way.

19:27 - How bout Peyton Watson last night? He balled out in the Big Easy and tallied a new career high. What was the difference? What allowed him to fill up the score sheet?

35:43 - Did Brett cross a line yesterday? Insults are par for the course on our show, but Moser thinks Brett may have taken it too far.

11-20-25 Hour 2 - Who changed the Nugs energy?/Chad Brown/Keys to Avs vs Rangers

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 17:38:56 +0000

0:00 - Last night, the Nuggets beat the Pelicans in NOLA. A much-needed get right win. Vic said the energy changed for the Nuggets when THIS player entered the game. Did you catch who it was?

14:58 - With Chad Brown, everything from Bowling to Broncos to Buffs is on the table. What does Chad think about the 9-2 Broncos at the bye?

35:42 - Avs hosting the Rangers tonight at Ball! What are Moser's keys to an Avalanche victory?

11-20-25 Hour 1 - Nugs get right in NOLA/Broncos best & worst case scenarios/Saving plays for the postseason

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 17:23:42 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets bounced back with a good win last night in NOLA! They came close to blowing it, but they didn't, and that's what matters. What are our impressions of this squad 14 games into the season?

15:33 - We have Bye Week Blues here in the Mile High City...it's got us doing some thinking...Brett tried to imagine the best case scenario and the worst case scenario for the Broncos on the back half of the season.

32:47 - Some of our texters/twitchers have theorized that Sean Payton might be saving a chunk of his playbook for the postseason. That's why he's not utilizing Marvin Mims in the regular season. He's playing him close to the vest. But we think that's a ridiculous notion.

11-19-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Belichick at Adult Cheerleading Competition/Snarky season tickets

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 17:53:17 +0000

0:00 - How's Jeff Legwold enjoying the Bye Week? Trick question. Leggy never takes any time off. He's a football robot. What does the robot think of your 9-2 Broncos? Does it compute?

18:13 - Bill Belichick was spotted where you'd least expect him...at an Adult Co-ed Cheerleading Competition. Not to participate, but to support his girlfriend.

31:34 - A Bengals fan called the team to cancel his season tickets, and got some serious snark in return. They tried to guilt him into keeping his tickets...allegedly, according to his post on Reddit.

11-19-25 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Are the Chiefs done?/Vic's 4 Threats in the West, a Chaotic Keys to the Game

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 17:45:25 +0000

0:00 - The Avs are in the middle of a 3-day break between games. They don't suit up again until tomorrow! How's Jared Bednar passing the time during this extended rest? Is his squad taking advantage of the time off?

21:05 - The Chiefs are sitting at 5-5 right now. They're a loss or two away from missing the playoffs entirely. Are they done? Is the dynasty officially over?

33:29 - There are 4 teams in the West that are legitimate threats, according to Vic. Only 4 teams that have a shot at making it out of the Western Conference, and the Nuggets are one of them.
After that, the Nuggets are in New Orleans tonight! Let's get some incredibly chaotic keys to the game.

11-19-25 Hour 1 - How "Real" are the Broncos?/Mikko's nasty hit/Vic's New Orleans history lesson

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 17:36:00 +0000

0:00 - How "real" are the 9-2 Denver Broncos right now? Are they ready to make some noise in the playoffs? Are they feared by their fellow AFC contenders? Should they be?

16:49 - Mikko Rantanen laid a nasty hit on Alexander Romanov of the New York Islanders last night. He was assessed a 5-minute major and a game misconduct. Patrick Roy was FUMING and let Mikko have it as he left the ice.

32:08 - The Nuggets are in NOLA tonight! Everybody, gather around the radio. Vic has a very important history lesson about Louisiana, New Orleans, and the Jazz/Pelicans.

11-18-25 Hour 3 - Harbaugh Hierarchy, defending your QB/Jokic is greatness personified/Lovely Nugs court

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 17:28:50 +0000

0:00 - Let's evaluate how everyone did in the Broncos vs Chiefs game by using...the Harbaugh Hierarchy!
Next, who did a better job defending their QB: Adam Trautman or Seahawks LB Ernest Jones?

16:22 - James Franklin got fired like 2 weeks ago, and he just got hired again. Hey James...your buyout from Penn State is massive! Why not take a few months off? Go enjoy some nature! Do some TV hits! Blow off some steam!
Also, if you want to know what greatness personified is...it's Nikola Jokic. Vic explains.

37:39 - The Nuggets completely blew it to the Bulls at home last night. But you know what looked good all night long? That black rainbow skyline court in Ball Arena. Man, that thing is sexy.

11-18-25 Hour 2 - Underrated part of Broncos game/Wedgewood on K&L, Skattebo at WWE/Overreacting to Nugs loss

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 17:00:08 +0000

0:00 - There's one very underrated aspect of the Broncos win over the Chiefs. Brett wants to give it some love, because it's something we haven't seen yet this season.

16:03 - Avalanche goalie Scott Wedgewood joined K&L yesterday and talked about the upward trajectory he's been on as of late.
Next, Cam Skattebo was hanging out at WWE yesterday tussling with some wrestlers. That's fun. Except for the fact that HIS ANKLE WAS BACKWARDS LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO. Dude, your leg is all jacked. Don't be shoving wrestlers while you're healing!

31:33 - Should we be freaking out about last night's Nuggets loss to the Bulls? Or is just a blip on the radar of an 82-game season? What's the proper way to feel?

11-18-25 Hour 1 - Moser & Brett cursed the Nugs/Broncos legit SB contenders?/Common thread in all 3 Nugs losses

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 16:55:08 +0000

0:00 - Do your best Marc Moser impression, people. IT'S THE NBAAAaaAAaaAAAAAaa. The Nuggets completely blew it to the Bulls last night. At home! That ruins our city's spotless home winning record. How much are we freaking out about this? Is it a bad loss? Or is it just one of those games that happens in an 82-game season?

16:12 - Heading into the bye week, the Broncos are 9-2. They have the best record in the NFL. They've won 8 in a row. So...are we now prepared to say the Broncos are legit Super Bowl contenders? Why or why not?

33:41 - What do all 3 Nuggets losses have in common?

Adam Schefter on the 9-2 Denver Broncos and the turnaround under Sean Payton

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:47:47 +0000

YOUR DENVER FOOTBALL BRONCOS ARE 9-2 BABY! Their victory over KC yesterday catapulted them to the top of the AFC West and the NFL as a whole! What does ESPN's Adam Schefter think of this Broncos squad?

11-17-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/We don't LOSE ANYMORE/Who would you miss more?

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:38:34 +0000

0:00 - YOUR DENVER FOOTBALL BRONCOS ARE 9-2 BABY! Their victory over KC yesterday catapulted them to the top of the AFC West and the NFL as a whole! What does ESPN's Adam Schefter think of this Broncos squad?

15:55 - Guys...we don't lose anymore in Colorado! Our local sports teams aren't allowed to lose anymore! It's pretty simple. We win. Google us.

31:41 - A caller had an interesting question for the guys. But we had to find the correct way to word it so we don't curse our local teams...

11-17-25 Hour 2 - Riley Moss on PI calls, recreating Snarky Sean/Around the NFL/In the Groove, Avs & Nugs recap

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:30:31 +0000

0:00 - Riley Moss addressed the 2 crucial PIs called against him that gave the Chiefs 2 of their 3 biggest plays on offense.
After that, Snarky Sean is back! He made a classic appearance in the postgame press conference yesterday. We did our best to recreate him ourselves.

19:57 - Another wild week in the books! Let's take a look Around the NFL.

34:55 - Which Broncos players were in the groove yesterday? Also, let's not forget both the Avs and Nuggets had big wins this weekend as well! The Ball Arena roommates are rollin right now!

11-17-25 Hour 1 - Broncos SLAY the Mighty Chiefs!/Broncos believe in themselves/Snarky Sean is BACK

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:11:42 +0000

0:00 - YOUR DENVER BRONCOS ARE 9-2! They slayed the Mighty Chiefs yesterday at Mile High to cement their spot atop the AFC West. Brett's going to make good on his promise from last week. No criticism today! No nitpicking! The Broncos just beat the Chiefs outright. Today is a day of celebration, positivity, sunshine, and rainbows.

14:55 - The Broncos are starting to believe in themselves, no matter how dire the situation seems. That's the difference between this season and last season.

33:11 - Doesn't matter if the Broncos just won arguably their most important game since SB 50. Doesn't matter if the Might Chiefs have fallen. Snarky Sean is still gonna make an appearance when you least expect it! He was out in full force after the win yesterday.

11-14-25 Hour 3 - Gavin Brindley works his tail off/LAY IT DOWN/Drunk Takes!

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 17:46:05 +0000

0:00 - Young Gavin Brindley works his TAIL off every single second he's on the ice. That young man is establishing himself with authority on this scorching red-hot Avalanche squad.

11:37 - What should you do with your extra schmeckles? LAY IT DOWN! YEAH UHHHHHH!

28:20 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

Today's edition includes: How does he rub you, smaller in statue, stick it up their tush push, put a dollar in my slot, and I can take it all.

11-14-25 Hour 2 - Brett has a new boo, Bednar on goalie situation/Chad Brown/Broncos vs Chiefs injury report

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 17:35:25 +0000

0:00 - After last night's Avs game, Brett has a new boo. There's a new apple of his eye. Rather, his wandering eye.
Next, Bednar was asked postgame about the Wedgewood vs Blackwood situation last night, and his answer was very blunt.

13:26 - Let's get Chad Brown's thoughts on the gargantuan Broncos vs Chiefs battle taking place on Sunday! Also, now that CU needs a new Athletic Director, would Chad throw his name in the ring?

33:52 - Who's in and who's out for the Broncos vs Chiefs? Will the Broncos be able to contain Mahomes even without a few key defensive players in the lineup?

11-14-25 Hour 1 - Gavin Brindley is the MAN/Broncos vs Chiefs is Must Win/Paul DePodesta intro presser

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 17:25:41 +0000

0:00 - Gavin Brindley has come out of nowhere and is immediately making an impact on the Avalanche. He scored AGAIN to help power the Avs past the Sabres last night. That guy is a DUDE, man.

17:39 - It's not technically a must-win. But Broncos vs Chiefs is a MUST-WIN for Denver! They have a chance to step on KC's throat and cement their place atop the AFC West. Meanwhile, KC is coming off a bye and will be looking for a get-right game against Denver's sputtering offense. The stakes are about as high as they get for a regular season game.

34:30 - Paul DePodesta was formally introduced yesterday as the President of Baseball Operations for the Rockies. He said some things we like, and he said some things we didn't like. But overall, it sounds like his head's in the right place.

11-13-25 Hour 3 - Emmanuel Sanders joins the show/The Chiefs are Michael Myers/Jokic's scorching-hot start

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:54:47 +0000

0:00 - We flap our gums a lot about Bo Nix and his deficiencies, Sean Payton's playcalling, this enigmatic Broncos team, etc. But let's get the thoughts of someone who's been there, done that, and won a Super Bowl doing it. Emmanuel Sanders made his return to Moser, Lombardi and Kane.

14:37 - Have you seen the Halloween movies? The Kansas City Chiefs are Michael Myers. You can shoot them in the face, burn them, stab them, run them over with a car, you name it. They'll still come back to haunt you. They're unkillable.

31:43 - We're only 11 games into the season, but Jokic is putting up stats that we've never seen before in NBA history. He's doing things that even Wilt himself hasn't done!

11-13-25 Hour 2 - Bo Nix on handling criticism/Jeff Legwold/Ty Lue's Jokic-handling strategy

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:40:37 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Bo Nix was asked how he handles all the criticism of his play right now. His answer was simple: delete all social media. If you got something to say, say it to my face. That's a great attitude to have. But some of that is an occupational hazard. You're the starting QB of the Denver Broncos. You exist under a high-powered media microscope.

15:25 - Let's preview Broncos vs Chiefs this Sunday with our Broncos Insider: ESPN's Jeff Legwold.

35:42 - Clippers Head Coach Ty Lue had an interesting strategy for handling Jokic last night. Don't double team him so he doesn't pass out of it and set up other guys for buckets. Instead, guard him one-on-one and force him to shoot. Well, you see how that went.

11-13-25 Hour 1 - JOKIC DROPS A 55 PIECE!/Broncos in 20-point games/Nuggets handle the Clippers

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:30:30 +0000

0:00 - How does he keep doing it?? How does Jokic keep finding new ways to impress us?? Not only did he drop a 55-piece right on the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard's tree farm, the Nuggets WON! They never win when Jokic drops 50! Unreal. Jokic is inevitable.

17:58 - 20 points seems to be the magic number for the Broncos. Hold your opponent under that mark, and you have a good chance of winning. Can they hold the Chiefs to less than 20?

34:03 - The Nuggets handled the Clip Show last night. The Clippers experiment is going belly up pretty quickly, but still, an impressive all-around effort from the Nuggets last night. Oh, and Jokic singlehandedly outscored LA's starters, which helps.

11-12-25 Hour 3 - Jake Plummer/Jokic's efficiency by the numbers, AJ Brown still miserable/Moser's engines

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 18:11:42 +0000

0:00 - Our old friend Jake the Snake joined us today to discuss his breakdown of Bo Nix. Jake explained what Bo and Sean need to do to cut Bo loose, and more importantly, he coined a new phrase that will live on our show forever.

19:20 - We have some numbers that encapsulate just how efficient Nikola Jokic is, and it's truly hard to believe. After that, AJ Brown is still miserable even though his team is winning. What is it about Philly, man?

34:06 - Moser spent an entire commercial break listening to the sounds of car engines and loved every second of it.

11-12-25 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Nichushkin injured maybe, Travis Hunter out/NFL True or False

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:55:25 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche are unstoppable right now, and last night they defeated the red-hot Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim. How does Bednar feel about his squad right now? It's only November, but are they already playoff ready?

22:05 - In his interview, Coach Bednar didn't sound too optimistic about Nichushkin after he left the ice last night with an apparent lower body injury.
After that, Travis Hunter will miss the remainder of the NFL season after having season-ending surgery. You KNOW people will attribute it to him playing both sides of the ball. But should they? Is that accurate?

34:23 - We haven't played it in a while...it's time for another edition of NFL True or False!

11-12-25 Hour 1 - Avs & Nugs are ROLLIN'/Avs & Nugs both have great depth/Weird feeling about the Chiefs

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:47:15 +0000

0:00 - The Ball Arena roommates are ROLLIN right now! They're both unstoppable forces. Gabe Landeskog finally got a goal that wasn't waived off, and Jokic cemented himself as the most efficient athlete of all time.

14:26 - Why are both the Avalanche and Nuggets so good right now and winning games they would've lost in previous years. Depth. It's that simple. These rosters are they most complete they've ever been. Even more complete than the championship years.

31:44 - The more and more Brett thinks about this Broncos vs Chiefs clash on Sunday the more and more nervous he gets...because no matter what the numbers say, the Chiefs are still the Chiefs. If the Broncos get into a weird 10-7 Raiders Thursday Night Football-esque slog with the Chiefs, doesn't it feel like Patrick Mahomes would slither out a win at the last second like he always does?

11-11-25 Hour 3 - Overcoming Sackholm Syndrome/Too many props, MNF Snoozefest/Rainbow skyline is back

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:32:31 +0000

0:00 - We coined the term earlier in the show. What exactly is Sackholm Syndrome? How is it affecting Bo Nix? How can he overcome it?

16:59 - Vic's ready to proclaim it: there are too many prop bets. We're out here betting on individual pitches? That's insane. If you want to curb illegal betting/tampering/point shaving/whatever, cool it on all these crazy prop bets.
After that...Monday Night Football last night was horrible. Real snoozefest. The Broncos and Raiders 10-7 snoozer was on a Thursday! Short week! What excuses do Philly and Green Bay have for last night's debacle?

34:51 - We've been asking for it since the bubble...and our prayers were finally answered. The Nuggets are officially bringing back the black rainbow skyline jerseys.

11-11-25 Hour 2 - Broncos vs Chiefs sets the tone/Nico Harrison fired/Paul DePodesta on fixing the Rox

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:22:30 +0000

0:00 - Broncos host the Chiefs on Sunday, and that game will set the tone for the rest of the season. If they lose to the Chiefs, god forbid, they'll be sitting at 8-3 heading into the bye. In a vacuum, that sounds awesome. You'd take that. But in this specific case, if they lose to the Chiefs it will feel like the 8 wins were all for naught.

12:38 - The least shocking news broke during out show: the Mavericks are firing Nico Harrison, aka the architect behind the Luka Doncic trade.

30:21 - Paul DePodesta, new President of Baseball Operations for the Colorado Rockies, recently spoke about the specific challenges of turning the Rox around. If he's able to fix this sinking ship and make them title contenders...he'll never have to buy himself a drink in Denver as long as he lives.

11-11-25 Hour 1 - Chiefs game is a measuring stick/Bo Nix has Sackholm Syndrome/MacKinnon is on a TEAR

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:55:09 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos vs Chiefs game on Sunday will be considered a "measuring stick" game for Denver. What will the game come down to? Defense? Bo Nix vs Patrick Mahomes?

14:54 - Bo Nix isn't getting sacked that much. He's the least-sacked QB in the AFC West by a country mile. But that's not necessarily a good thing. In order to explain, we need to coin a new term: Sackholm Syndrome.

36:47 - Through 16 games, Nathan MacKinnon is doing Nathan MacKinnon things at a career-high pace. It's wild that he continues to get better. The MVP is even more valuable than he was last year.

Adam Schefter joins us live from a NYC Deli

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:36:50 +0000

ESPN's Adam Schefter joins us live from a NYC Deli to give us the national perspective on the enigmatic Broncos that somehow keep finding ways to win.

11-10-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Most likely to win it all: Avs or Nugs?/JK Dobbins banged up on Thursday

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:29:27 +0000

0:00 - ESPN's Adam Schefter joins us live from a NYC Deli to give us the national perspective on the enigmatic Broncos that somehow keep finding ways to win.

19:11 - Right now...who has a better chance to win it all: Avalanche or Nuggets?

32:42 - JK Dobbins got hip drop tackled on Thursday Night vs the Raiders, and he said it tweaked his ankle a bit. Not a break or anything season-ending, but he limped off the field and didn't return to the game. We're awaiting further evaluation, and hoping he'll be back on Sunday.
Even though refs are supposed to penalize hip drop tackles this year, they're so tough to identify in the moment, especially in the middle of a scrum.

11-10-25 Hour 2 - Avs & Nugs Quadruple Winaroo/Around the NFL/Is Brett being a Historicist?

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:00:08 +0000

0:00 - 2 Avalanche games, 2 Nuggets games, 4 wins this weekend. Dominant performances by the Ball Arena Roommates. What were the highlights of the, well, highlight-filled weekend?

16:21 - We're more than halfway through the NFL season, and we still don't know who's good and who isn't. Let's take a look around the insane, unpredictable NFL weekend that was.

32:54 - Brett had to create a new word to explain how he's feeling about the NFL. Is Kaner being a Historicist when it comes to evaluating NFL teams?

11-10-25 Hour 1 - Best Era in Denver Sports History/The Bo Nix Spin Machine/More Deion mismanagement

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 16:55:07 +0000

0:00 - 2 Nuggets games, 2 Avs games, 4 wins this weekend. A Quadruple Diparoo Winaroo. Right now, the Broncos, Avalanche, and Nuggets are all in (or rapidly approaching) a championship window. Make no mistake. This is the best era of Denver sports, period. No question. Top to bottom, this is the best all-around time to be a Denver sports fan.

15:03 - Chase Daniel and Colin Cowherd are Sean Payton's boys. We know this. It's been well documented. Now, both those guys are starting to publicly doubt/criticize Bo Nix. Hmmm...if we're reading the tea leaves here...did Sean put out the Bat signal to his boys? Tell everyone the Broncos struggles are because of Bo, not his playcalling. The heel turn feels a bit fishy...

35:34 - Another Buffs game, another Deion game mismanagement blunder. We seem to get one of these every week. But, Vic isn't worried about it. His biggest takeaway from the game had nothing to do with Deion.

11-07-25 Hour 3 - Who's In the Groove?, Broncos are "unsustainable"/LAY IT DOWN!/DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 17:39:10 +0000

0:00 - Which Broncos players are In the Groove right now? Pick anyone from the defense. Or everyone from the defense.
After that, the Broncos are relying on their all-time dominant defense to carry their lackluster offense to the finish line. Is that game plan sustainable? Brett says no.

17:02 - Do you have some loose change in your pocket? Maybe you found a few bucks in the back pocket of those jeans you haven't worn in a while. Well, listen up, because Moser will tell you exactly what do to with those extra schmeckles. LAY IT DOWN!

33:42 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!
Today's edition includes: Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday, Unfreeze Me, Coming out both sides, and AAOOOWWWW!

11-07-25 Hour 2 - Making sense of these Broncos/Losing faith in Bo Nix?/Rox hired someone, Keys to the Nugs Game

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 17:26:53 +0000

0:00 - It's so hard to wrap our heads around these enigmatic Broncos. But all accounts, they shouldn't be winning with the struggling offense they keep putting on the field. But why are they winning? Because their defense is ELITE. If the offense could play even SLIGHTLY better, who knows how good this team would be?

12:06 - How do we feel about Bo right now? Are you starting to lose faith in him at all? Is your BOlief slipping even a little bit? Or do you still Bolieve as much as always?

34:31 - The Rockies actually hired someone! They have a new Head of Baseball Operations AND they hired him from outside the Rockies organization! Go figure! Do we like the hire?
Also, the Nuggets are playing the Warriors tonight in PIPING HOT EMIRATES NBA CUP GROUP STAGE ACTION BABYYYYYY!!!! What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?

11-07-25 Hour 1 - The Broncos are 8-2...somehow!/Strange playcalling AGAIN/Payton vs a Reporter: NO BUTS

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 17:19:44 +0000

0:00 - Just when you thought the Broncos had won their ugliest game yet...they continue to find new inventive ways to get uglier. Your Broncos are 8-2 and that's all that matters...but MY GOD that game was horrible yesterday.

14:19 - We're trying to enjoy another Broncos win that takes them to 8-2 on the season! And yet, there was so much wrong with that game. AGAIN, Payton's playcalling was peculiar, to put it mildly.

34:53 - Sean Payton quibbled with EVAN EVAN EVAN in a press conference again! This time, Evan's not allowed to use the word "but." Oh wait, his name's Luca?

11-06-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Broncos CAN'T lose tonight/Denver native Raiders fans, Final TNF predictions

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 17:41:46 +0000

0:00 - Do the lowly Raiders stand a chance against the Broncos tonight at Mile High? Why didn't the Broncos do anything at the trade deadline? Is it okay for Deion to make coaching/staff changes and not tell anyone? Our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold has all the answers, live from his kitchen once again! We missed seeing those cabinets.

19:31 - The Broncos CAN'T LOSE TONIGHT. Come on, man. They can't. The Raiders are too bad and the Broncos are too good. It's hard to envision a scenario where Denver kicks this game.

32:52 - Vic continues unleashing his wrath on Denver natives who are Broncos fans. After that, the fellas give their final thoughts/predictions for Thursday Night Football. Let's go Broncos!

11-06-25 Hour 2 - Jokic will never be matched/Chad Brown/Binnington stole Ovi's puck, Rox still in purgatory

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 17:29:00 +0000

0:00 - Any time Nikola Jokic touches a basketball, he makes history. He truly is 1 of 1 and we'll never see another basketball player like him for the rest of time.

15:10 - Is there any way the Broncos can lose to the Raiders tonight? What's going on with Deion and CU right now? Let's ask someone who knows the pro and college football world better than any of us: Chad Brown.

35:16 - Alex Ovechkin scored his 900th NHL goal last night, and Jordan Binnington tried to pocket it. Was it a joke? Or did he genuinely want to rain on Ovi's parade?
After that, the Rockies GM search has proven to be fruitless so far. Neither of their finalist candidates ended up with the job. One thing that could be casting a shadow over the GM search: Kris Bryant's contract. Whoever they bring in will be saddled with that deal.

11-06-25 Hour 1 - Jokic did Jokic things vs Heat/Getting the Broncos offense GOING/NFL True or False

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 17:22:03 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, the Nuggets beat the Heat at Ball Arena, and Nikola Jokic did Nikola Jokic things. How does he keep impressing us?? How does he keep finding new ways to dazzle?

15:57 - The Broncos need to strike EARLY against the Raiders tonight! Don't go scoreless for 3.5 quarters against the lowly Raiders! Come on! Let's get going, boys!

34:28 - Let's preview tonight's Broncos vs Raiders game with another classic edition of NFL True or False!

11-05-25 Hour 3 - Landy's language barrier/Deion made a switch & didn't tell us/Ja's fall from grace

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 17:49:40 +0000

0:00 - First up, Mad Dog did what he does best...which is go on a nuclear rant about nothing important.
After that, Landeskog wanted to fight a member of the Lightning late in last night's game, but they couldn't overcome a language barrier, so they didn't drop the gloves.

14:31 - Deion switched who's calling plays on offense before the Arizona game, and didn't tell us. He said it's not his responsibility to tell us when he makes coaching/staff changes. Okay...?
Next, Packers TE Tucker Kraft is injured. He's not dead! He's still very much alive. Can someone tell Romeo Doubs that?

31:05 - Marc Spears said he spoke with multiple NBA head coaches and executives, and none of them have interest in Ja Morant. It's a combination of issues both on and off the field. Can you think of another player who fell like this? Someone with immense talent who's being shunned because of personality issues?

11-05-25 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/NFL Trade Deadline FOMO/Vic punished by God, Bo Nix by the Numbers

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 17:38:15 +0000

0:00 - Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar updates us on all the latest from his squad: thoughts on last night's win, why we haven't seen Blackwood in net yet, and what it was like coaching 2 Makars at the same time.

18:56 - The NFL Trade Deadline came and went yesterday, and the Broncos did nothing. While we're okay with that...don't you KINDA wish they did SOMETHING to improve the offense a bit? Especially since the Colts went all in to capitalize on their brand new Daniel Jones window?

34:55 - Vic flouted the conventions of nature and society...and was punished by God accordingly.
After that, how does Bo Nix stack up statistically so far? Are Denver's offensive struggles more about him or the pieces around him?

11-05-25 Hour 1 - Avs won a game? In regulation!?/No Broncos trades/Prime's patented filibustering

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 17:23:32 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche won a hockey game in regulation!? Really? They didn't lose in OT and stash 1 point for the standings? Go figure!

13:48 - The NFL trade deadline came and went and the Broncos did...nothing. Are we okay with that?

36:16 - Coach Prime addressed the media yesterday and said a bunch of words but really didn't say anything. That seems to be the norm these days.

11-04-25 Hour 3 - Broncos trade rumor heating up/Too much Broncos smoke/Lightning are legit, Ja's decline

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 17:34:32 +0000

0:00 - Nothing's official yet...but the internet seems to think the Broncos are trading for Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle. Would he instantly made Denver a better team?

13:35 - The more and more Brett digs into these Waddle to Denver rumors, it makes more and more sense. There's too much smoke. That's gotta mean there's some fire.
After that, Deion had some great coachspeak psychobabble when asked about whether or not he can fix CU's issues. Does he know what the problems are and how to fix them?

30:54 - The Lightning are a good hockey team! The Avs need to bring their A game tonight. Please please please don't let it go to OT!
Ja Morant recently returned from yet another suspension, then said he's lost his joy while playing basketball. Man, what a swift decline. He went from the most electric player in the sport to...whatever he is now. And it all started that one fateful night at Shotgun Willie's.

11-04-25 Hour 2 - Bo Nix vs Elway vs Tebow/Why doesn't Bo run more?/Keys to Avs vs Lightning

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 17:17:47 +0000

0:00 - Some people have been comparing Bo Nix's late game theatrics to the Elway years. Thrilling comebacks against all odds! Kaner says a better comp for this season was the Tim Tebow year cumlinating in the DT TD in OT against Pittsburgh.
So which one's the correct comp?

12:45 - Why doesn't Bo scramble more? Clearly, he can move the ball with his legs. But sometimes, he waits until the magical 4th quarter to use his wheels! Why doesn't he hit the gas sooner?

31:09 - The Avalanche are hosting the Lightning tonight - what are Moser's Keys to the Game?

11-04-25 Hour 1 - Nuggets win the Westbrook Reunion/Should Broncos make a trade?/Giving away Vic's shirts

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 16:55:08 +0000

0:00 - Westbrook came back to town with the Sacramento Kings, and took that L on the way out. Do we miss Westbrook at all? According to Russ, the Nuggets didn't want him! They told him not to take his player option.

14:52 - The NFL Trade Deadline is today at 2pm MT. Adam Schefter said he doesn't expect the Broncos to make a move. But Brett says...why not? Why shouldn't they test the market and see what's out there?

35:19 - Vic has a few Nuggets shirts to give away to lucky listeners! His chosen method: loading up the phones and asking simple True or False questions.

Adam Schefter on Denver's improbable winning streak & the NFL trade deadline

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 18:06:23 +0000

Somehow, the Broncos keep winning! They're 7-2 and tied for the best record in the NFL! How does Adam Schefter make sense of it all? Also, the NFL trade deadline is tomorrow afternoon. Does Schefty think the Broncos will make a move?

11-03-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/In the Groove, Payton defends Rizzi/Deion on confidence, dawgs, and cats

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 17:48:13 +0000

0:00 - What does ESPN Adam Schefter think of Cardiac Kid 7-2 Denver Broncos?

13:36 - Which Broncos players are in the groove right now? Next, Sean Payton defended his boy special team coordinator Darren Rizzi. The miscues yesterday weren't his fault! It was a personnel issue, NOT a coaching issue. Is that CRYSTAL CLEAR?

32:35 - DMac and Deion had a good back-and-forth after CU's embarrassing loss to Arizona on Saturday. It started as a conversation about Deion's coaching abilities, and devolved into a discussion of dawgs and cats.

11-03-25 Hour 2 - Critical of the 7-2 Broncos/Around the NFL/Avs lose in OT again, cancelling Keefer's Tee Time

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 17:24:58 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos won again! They pulled off another 4th quarter comeback and snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat. However, Brett and Moser understand this team isn't perfect. Far from it. They have A LOT of things to fix. On the other hand, Vic isn't gonna let his cohorts rain on his parade. The Broncos are 7-2. They're tearing up the AFC West. That's all that matters right now! They keep winning and winning and winning.

19:49 - Another weekend of NFL Football in the books! Let's take a look around the league and relive everything that went down yesterday.

35:36 - On Saturday, the Avs lost IN OT AGAIN! They keep stashing points and losing in OT. It's truly hard to believe. How does Moser make sense of it all?
After that, Kyle Keefe violated the Golf chapter of the Bro Code. So, we tailored a punishment fit for the crime, and we cancelled his upcoming tee time live on the air.

11-03-25 Hour 1 - Broncos find a way to win...AGAIN/Are Brett & Mose too harsh?/Nuggets jobbed by jump ball call

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 17:16:05 +0000

0:00 - How on earth do the Broncos keep finding ways to win? Call it luck, call it Payton's Master Plan, call it whatever you want. But your Denver Football Broncos are 7-2 after another thrilling 4th quarter comeback! How do they keep doing it?

17:26 - Brett and Moser will take a road win, but they're still not satisfied with how the Broncos are playing right now. Meanwhile, Vic only cares about one thing: THE BRONCOS ARE 7-2. No one's gonna rain on his victory parade.
Which side are you on? How are you feeling today?

34:19 - The Nuggets lost a nailbiter in Portland on Friday. They got jobbed by a horrible jump ball call that should've been a much harsher foul on Portland. What makes it even worse...is the NBA DOUBLED DOWN ON THE CALL! In the 2 minute report, they said it was a correct call.
Look, it's a random October game in Portland. Whatever. A loss is a loss, and Denver found plenty of ways to lose that game. That's not what's this is about. Vic's more concerned about the precedent the NBA is setting by upholding the garbage call.

10-31-25 Hour 3 - Marty or Mikko?, Double Keys to the Game/LAY IT DOWN/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 16:27:01 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Marty Necas signed an 8 year extension worth $11.5 mil per year. Now that he's signed, the Marty/Mikko trade saga is officially done. That chapter has closed. Looking back on it all, who would you rather have right now? Today? As it currently stands? Marty or Mikko?
After that, both the Avs and Nuggets play today/TAHNIGHT, so that necessitates a DOUBLE Keys to the Game.

18:44 - Moser's in Vegas right now...so when he tells you to LAY IT DOWN, you better listen and listen good.

30:37 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

Today's edition includes: Hocker Fights Cancer, getting off on Milwaukee, BBLs, and Mary had a little...what?

10-31-25 Hour 2 - NBA CUP ACTION RETURNS TAHNIGHT!/Broncos at the trade deadline/Mas O Menos

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 16:13:18 +0000

0:00 - YOUR DENVER NUGGETS ARE PLAYING THE PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS IN GAME #1 OF THE EMIRATES NBA CUP GROUP STAGE BABY! TONIGHT! IN SEASON TOURNAMENT ACTION! I'M SO EXCITED!
In all seriousness...is there a way to make the NBA Cup more exciting for the fans? How about the players? How do you get them to buy in?

19:33 - The NFL Trade Deadline is next Tuesday. Do the Broncos need to make a trade? Who should they target?

32:12 - It's the sultry, salacious, sensual sensation that's sweeping the nation. Let's preview Broncos @ Texans coming up on Sunday with another edition of...Mas o Menos.

10-31-25 Hour 1 - 8 More Years of Marty Nachos/Are the Broncos "frauds?"/How do you fix CU?

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - 8 MORE YEARS OF THE MARTY PARTY! Woo hoo! How we feeling about the extension? With everything squarely in the rearview mirror, how do we feel about the whole Mikko/Marty trade?

14:51 - Texter posed a great question: are the Broncos seen as "fraud" around the league? As in, one of these teams whose record is fools gold and will be exposed soon enough. See: the Pittsburgh Steelers.

32:09 - What's next for CU football? Honestly...what can Deion do to salvage the season? Can the season be salvaged? Or should he start planning for next year already?

10-30-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Unpredictable CFB landscape, Focused Nuggets/A worthy distraction

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 16:38:22 +0000

0:00 - Our Nuggets fever almost distracted us, but we got back on track! Jeff Legwold joined us to preview Broncos @ Texans coming up on Sunday.

18:38 - This year has been WILD for college football. It's been utterly unpredictable, and even more so than last year!
After that, the Nuggets feel more focused this year. Last night, they beat up a bad team. They didn't take their foot off the gas and almost blow it late, like they would've done last year...or the year before that...or the year before that...or the year before that...or the year before that...or the year before that...or-

32:06 - Somehow, Brett and Vic both got distracted by the same thing independently of each other, and it almost derailed the last segment of the show entirely. IYKYK.

10-30-25 Hour 2 - Favorite Play from Nuggets vs Pelicans/Chad Brown/Broncos Mid-Season Grades

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 16:26:05 +0000

0:00 - The Cleveland Browns Team Store is stocked full of Shedeur Sanders jerseys. And you know what isn't anywhere to be found? Dillon Gabriel jerseys. What the heck is going on over there?
After that, what was your favorite play/moment from last night's Nuggets victory over the Pelicans 122-88?

14:41 - Can the Broncos offense crack the elite Texans defense? Can Deion and the Colorado Buffaloes rebound from a truly embarrassing loss to the Utes? Let's ask someone who knows pro and college football like the back of his hand: Chad Brown.

34:11 - It's essentially the halfway point of the NFL season. Let's hand out Mid-Term Grades to the Broncos.

10-30-25 Hour 1 - Nuggets are a complete team/Broncos vs Texans by the numbers/Politics of the Portal

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 16:16:11 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets obliterated the Pelicans last night at Ball Arena 122-88. Sure the Pelicans are bad, but the Nuggets actually rose to the task and blew out a bad team. And, they looked good doin it. This is a DEEP team. The bench can actually play. Jokic is able to sit for multiple minutes (plural!) without the entire game unravelling. It's what we've needed to see for years now!

15:08 - Cam Johnson is still figuring out his role with the Nuggets. What has his role been so far and what should it be? How does his usage compare to what MPJ's role was?
Next, how does the Broncos offense stack up to Houston's iron-clad defense? Will Houston's offense be able to crack Denver's defense especially with no PSII? Let's see what the numbers suggest.

36:47 - In the portal era, CFB head coaches can't be just head coaches. They already have to be planning for next season while they're in the middle of THIS season! Brett said it reminds him of politicians that are constantly on the campaign trail.

10-29-25 Hour 3 - Marcedes Lewis signed to Broncos/Keys to the Nuggets game/Nuggets depth on display

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:34:14 +0000

0:00 - Aidan Hutchinson signed a 4-year extension with the Lions. It makes us appreciate Nik Bonitto's contract even more, because the Broncos are getting him for the bargain of all bargains.
Also, 41-year old TE Marcedes Lewis signed with the Broncos practice squad. He won't be used as a pass catcher. Payton's bringing him in for one reason and one reason only: blocking.

13:01 - Carlie Irsay-Gordon means BUSINESS in Indy. She's taking her role as seriously as maybe any owner in the entire NFL right now.
After that, what are the keys to a Nuggets victory over the Pelicans tonight?

33:45 - The Nuggets are 2-1 through 3 games and have scored 137, 133, and 127 points in those games. And Jokic hasn't lead the team in scoring once. In any of those games. How da ya like them apples?

10-29-25 Hour 2 - Avs exorcised the Devils, Giannis' epic travel/Patience for CU and Deion/Jared Bednar

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:21:56 +0000

0:00 - Last night, the Avs exorcised the Devils by a score of 8-4! The power of the Avs compells you! 4 of those goals came from the Power Play. Aside from a brutal 4 minute stretch that let New Jersey sneak back into the game, it was a completely dominant performance we've been waiting to see from this team.

14:23 - Someone asked Deion if there's a quick fix to CU's issues. Coach Prime then went on a monologue about how everyone wants everything instantly in today's society and no one has any patience anymore. He managed to incorporate "BBL" and "thick as a Snickers" into his quote. Impressive. How much patience should we have for Deion and CU? Because no one has a longer leash in the college football world than Coach Prime, as it stands right now.

28:36 - We were all impressed by (about 90% of) last night's Avalanche game. What did Head Coach Jared Bednar think of his squad's performance?

10-29-25 Hour 1 - Avs remember how to score on PP/2015 Broncos vs 2025 Broncos/Strange start for Jokic

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:13:28 +0000

0:00 - Turns out...when the Avs have 5 guys on the ice...and the other team has 4 dudes on the ice...you're supposed to score! And good things happen when you do that!
Last night, the Avs scored 4 power play goal en route to an 8-4 drubbing of the Devils. Aside from 4 awful minutes, the Avs played on heck of a game and it was great to see!

16:56 - Brett Kane Finds Out did some digging, as he does. He compares all the stats, both offensive and defensive, between the 2015 Broncos and the 2025 Broncos. And on paper, the teams are almost identical. But...do they feel like the same team in real life? Beyond the numbers?

35:25 - Jokic is having the best start to a season he's ever had, maybe, which is wild to even say out loud. And yet...he looks a little fluffy out there. He's a bit out of shape. As long as he keeps putting up numbers and Denver stays winning, it's fine by us!

10-28-25 Hour 3 - The Harbaugh Hierarchy/Nitpicking Avs, PSII will miss some time/An 18-inning WS Marathon

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 16:45:38 +0000

0:00 - Let's evaluate the Broncos vs Cowboys game using the infamous Harbaugh Hierarchy.

13:48 - All things considered, the Avs are sittin' pretty in the standings because of all their OT losses. Still stackin' up points, baby! But, let's nitpick a bit. What can the Avs do to start, let's see...winning games? In regulation? Is that too much to ask?
After that, PSII will miss some amount of time (TBD after more evaluation) because of a pectoral injury. How will the defense do without him? Can they hold it down in his absence?

33:40 - Just how long was last night's 18-inning World Series game 3 marathon? Brett has a story that puts it all in perspective.

10-28-25 Hour 2 - Jokic...got rest in 4Q?/Shedeur Sanders Saga Continues/Joker's efficient night, Keys to the Game

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 16:26:49 +0000

0:00 - Jokic actually...got rest? In the 4th quarter? He didn't play the entire 4th quarter? Really?
David Adelman said in his postgame presser, "I couldn't play Jokic 15 minutes in a row." IS THIS REAL LIFE?

13:33 - The Shedeur Sanders Saga keep dragging on and on and on out there in Cleveland. At this point...WHY NOT? Why wouldn't you just throw him out there to try SOMETHING? Anything? What do you have to lose? The season's already toast.

31:06 - Another night, another crazy-efficient Triple Double from Jokic. Some things never change.
After that, what are the keys to an Avalanche victory against the Devils tonight?

10-28-25 Hour 1 - Nugs FINALLY beat TWolves/PSII injured, Payton's Fashion Faux Pas/Dodgers win in 18 innings

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Nuggets finally beat the Minnesota Basketball Timberwolves! It actually happened! Granted, Anthony Edwards wasn't playing but it still counts. The new-look Nuggets are starting to figure it out. Jamal Murray looks ready to go!

14:06 - PSII got banged up in the Cowboys game, and it's looking like a pectoral strain. He may head to IR after further evaluation. If PSII is sidelined for 4-6 weeks, will the Broncos be fine without him?

36:07 - The Dodgers won Game 3 of the World Series last night...IN 18 INNINGS! They played TWO FULL BASEBALL GAMES against the Jays. Insanity. Shohei had another incredible night. He continues to reach new heights on the biggest stage. However, Moser can't swallow his pride and compliment Shohei because that would mean giving love to the Dodgers.

Adam Schefter doesn't think the Broncos need to trade for a WR

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:40:51 +0000

The NFL Trade Deadline is about a week away, and there are rumors swirling that the Broncos might be in the market for a WR. Adam Schefter think that's not necessary ESPECIALLY after what we saw yesterday. The Broncos have enough talented young pass catchers as it is. They just have to utilize them properly.

10-27-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/NBA scoring is way up, Avs are frustrating/Jokic loves Peaky Blinders

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:32:22 +0000

0:00 - Was yesterday's Broncos win more about their offense finally figuring it out? Or more about how awful Dallas' defense is? Let's see what ESPN's Adam Schefter thinks about Denver destroying the Cowboys.

14:58 - Really? Austin Reaves is out here dropping 51 points in a game? The season is young, and we've already seen multiple 50+ point performances, including one from our very own Aaron Gordon. Vic says this is the new NBA norm. Expect scoring to keep climbing.
Next, what's wrong with the Avs? Sure they're stacking points in the standings, but why can't they score on the PP or win in OT? Their 5-on-5 is stellar, and everything else seems to be lacking.

31:32 - Jokic is one of us...he's a Peaky Blinders fan.

10-27-25 Hour 2 - Broncos offense dazzled vs Dallas/Around the NFL/Broncos in the groove, Keys to the Nugs Game

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 16:16:38 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos offense came alive yesterday. THAT'S the game we've wanted to see from the offense FOREVER. And good for all the rookies getting involved. That was complete all-around dominance.

13:50 - Any. Given. Sunday. Let's relive all the madness from yesterday and take a look around the NFL.

31:51 - Which Broncos players were In the Groove yesterday? After that, the Nuggets are playing the Boogeyman tonight: The Minnesota Timberwolves. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

10-27-25 Hour 1 - Denver Destroys Dallas/Riley Moss: Yay or Nay, CU's debacle vs Utah/Nugs win, Avs lose 2x

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!? Denver destroyed Dallas yesterday at Mile High and finally put on the offensive clinic we've been waiting for. Was this game more about Denver's offense going off, or Dallas' defensive issues?

16:06 - After 8 games, how do Broncos fans feel about Riley Moss? He drew a lot of criticism early in the season. Do those feeling still linger? Or are people a fan of his now?
After that, CU's game vs Utah was like a car crash. It was so awful and terrible, and yet we couldn't look away. How do you make sense of that horrible of a performance coming OFF A BYE WEEK!?

34:54 - The Avs went 0/2 on their east coast road trip, and lost back-to-back games in OT. So at least they get 2 points out of it. That's nice. But what's going on with the Avs? Why can't they win games in regulation?
On the flipside, the Nuggets had a DOMINANT performance against the Suns. Phoenix isn't good, but still, Denver took care of business and looked GOOD doin it.

10-24-25 Hour 3 - More details about Chauncey Billups/Broncos are very unpredictable/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 16:37:47 +0000

0:00 - The details about Chauncey Billups being involved in the rigging of illegal poker games was just the tip of the iceberg. The FBI's investigation has uncovered more information that might link Chauncey to illegal sports betting practices that involved giving bettors private information to help them accurately place their bets. Man, who knows how deep this rabbit hole goes?

18:47 - The Broncos this year have been incredibly unpredictable. To put it mildly. Brett asked Vic how he's feeling about Sunday's game vs Dallas, and Vic genuinely has no idea. With how this season's going for the Broncos, how do you predict the unpredictable? How do we figure out how we're feeling about Broncos vs Cowboys? Man, this is gettign philosophical.

33:36 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

Today's edition includes COCKIN, managing his load, Altitude Number 2 5, and eating at the teat.

10-24-25 Hour 2 - LAY IT DOWN!/Summarizing the Double Losearoo/Key to the Broncos Offense

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 16:24:25 +0000

0:00 - Moser had to leave early today to travel east with the Avs. But we couldn't miss this segment for the world. So earlier than we usually do...it's time...to take all your spare change from the satchel...and LAY IT DOWN!

16:48 - Our first Double Diparoo of the young season was a Double Losearoo. In a nutshell, what went right and wrong for both the Avs and Nugs?

30:01 - The Broncos HAVE to take advantage of the weak Cowboys defense. Brett explains what the Broncos offense needs to do to get rolling early (instead of doing nothing for 3.5 quarters, then scoring 33 points...not that there's anything wrong with that?)

10-24-25 Hour 1 - Avs & Nugs Double Losearoo/Nervous about Cowboys?/Chad Brown

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Our first Double Diparoo of the season was a double Lossaroo. The Avs/Nordiques fell to the Hurricanes/Whalers in a shootout, and the Nuggets lost to the Warriors in OT. What are the positive and negative takeaways from both games?

21:28 - As the week goes on...Brett's feeling more and more nervous about the Cowboys coming to town on Sunday. Why is that doubt slowly creeping in?

33:34 - Yesterday, we had to bump Chad Brown so we could listen to the FBI's press conference about the sports gambling/betting probe. Chad joined us today, and was very understanding that he got reshuffled for the Feds.

10-23-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/FBI's allegations against Chauncey/BFN leaves CSU, Fact Checker

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 16:31:42 +0000

0:00 - Can the Broncos offense tear up the porous Cowboys defense? Can the high-scoring Cowboys offense pick apart the iron-clad Broncos defense? Let's preview Sunday's game with ESPN's Jeff Legwold.

14:31 - More and more information about Chauncey Billups' involvement in illegal gambling rings is coming to light throughout the day. Vic says he got duped by awful people looking to make an easy buck, and it reminded him of a particlar movie scene.

31:46 - CSU Rams QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi has announced he's leaving the program. First Norvell gets fired, now the QB leaves. What a fall from grace for BFN. A couple short years ago, he almost lead the Rams to a 2OT victory over the Buffs at Folsom Field.
After that, we got tongue tied early and often throughout today's show. Let's listen back to the best of the worst.

10-23-25 Hour 2 - FBI Director Kash Patel & US Attorney Joseph Nocella on FBI NBA probe/Keys to Avs & Nugs games

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 16:23:26 +0000

0:00 - FBI Director Kash Patel addressed the media and explained the details of the FBI's investigation into the NBA surrounding illegal gambling & betting practices.

14:54 - US Attorney Joseph Nocella dug deeper into the details of the FBI's NBA probe, and explained Chauncey Billups' involvement in everything.

31:32 - The Avalanche are at home against the Hurricanes, and the Nuggets begin their season on the road at Golden State. What are they keys to victory in both of those games?

10-23-25 Hour 1 - FBI investigating the NBA/Payton on Russ, screen plays/Illegal poker probe, Nugs preview

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 16:17:59 +0000

0:00 - News broke during the Appetizer Hour that the FBI arrested both Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups as part of a probe into "illegal sports better and poker games schemes." FBI Director Kash Patel will address the media later today with more info. Until we get that info, we don't want to speculate. But no matter what, it's hearbreaking to see Chauncey's name come up.

16:23 - Sean Payton addressed the media yesterday and clarified the now-infamous Dart/Russ comment. He also qiubbled with reporters about Denver's 5-2 record, and all the screen plays. Sean loves a good quibble!

35:42 - More news is developing throughout the morning about this illegal gambling/betting probe by the FBI. After that, the Nuggets take the court tonight against Golden State! It's championship or bust for the Nuggets. Period. No excuses this time.

10-22-25 Hour 3 - Reacting to Bednar, Sad Jets fan/Broncos vs Cowboys preview/Vic chirping CB at Media game

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:40:59 +0000

0:00 - Man, Bedsie dropped some truth bombs during his interview! The guys reacted to everything he said, especially about the BS offsides call that negated Landy's goal. Also, there's a clip circulating of a depressed young Jets fan. He didn't chose the Jets fandom. He was born into it, and he's suffering because of it.

14:41 - The Broncos are hosting the Cowboys this Sunday! Can the Broncos defense contain the high-flying Cowboys offense? Can the porous Cowboys defense smother Bo? Let see what the numbers say.

29:37 - Vic is no stranger to trash talk! He chirped Christian Braun at yesterday's Nuggets Media vs Nuggets Coaching Staff pickup game. Even though Vic wasn't really in a position to be talking trash. The media got massacred.

10-22-25 Hour 2 - The Avs Offsides call makes no sense/Greenlaw suspension upheld/Jared Bednar

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:31:34 +0000

0:00 - The more and more we think about it...the offsides call from last night makes no sense. Nothing about that sequence should've resulted in the Avs having a goal TAKEN OFF THE BOARD because of an offsides player.

17:02 - Dre Greenlaw appealed his suspension, and it was upheld. Man...what on earth did Dre say to that Ref?

29:33 - We think the offsides call against the Avs was bogus last night, but let's get a second opinion. Spoiler alert: Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar agrees with us.

10-22-25 Hour 1 - Avs jobbed by phantom Offsides call/Payton vs Russ BEEF/Nuggets Media vs Nuggets Staff

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 16:11:21 +0000

0:00 - Gabe Landeskog scored an awesome goal yesterday...and it was taken off the board by a bogus offsides call. My time machine worked! It's 2019 again! It's the same thing that happened to the Avs against the Sharks in the playoffs. That wasn't the sole reason the Avs lost to Utah last night, but it's one of those huge momentum swings that changes the trajectory of a game.

13:40 - After the Broncos vs Giants game, Sean Payton took a vague shot at Russ Wilson. Or did he? Did Russ catch a stray unintentionally? Either way, Russ responded on Twitter. He...actually responded to an insult! Good for you, Russ. Way to stand up for yourself.

31:48 - The Scrimmage of all Scrimmages happened at Ball Arena yesterday: Nuggets Coaching Staff vs Nuggets Media. And unsurprisingly, the coaches WIPED THE FLOOR with the media. At one point, Vic was the only player who'd scored for the media. He dropped a whole 3 points. Vic recounts the whole bloodbath for us this morning.

10-21-25 Hour 3 - Greenlaw's appeals process/Payton on Dart, The Springer Dinger/The Tokyo Toe

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 16:43:38 +0000

0:00 - The NFL suspended Dre Greenlaw for 1 game because he said some no-no words to a ref on Sunday after the Broncos beat the Giants. What options does he have to appeal the suspension? It needs to happen quickly, whatever it is. We asked NFL Super Agent Peter Schaffer how that process works. His clients have dealt with suspensions before, so he understands the process firsthand.

14:41 - Sean Payton had some high praise for Jaxson Dart during this past offseason. After that, the Blue Jays are headed to the World Series because of a colossal Springer Dinger. Let's hear what it sounded like in both English and French.

32:25 - Hawai'i's FG kicker is the football sensation that's sweeping the nation. Specifically, the nation of Japan.

10-21-25 Hour 2 - DMac defends question to Payton/Christian Braun's extension/The Harbaugh Hierarchy

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 16:32:51 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, DMac asked a pretty blunt (but warranted) question to Sean Payton in his Zoom presser. Today, DMac hopped on the show to defend his question.

15:05 - Christian Braun inked a contract extension with the Nuggets yesterday! 5 years x $125 Million. Is that a good deal? Is it an overpay? More importantly, how will impact the Nuggets cap/aapron/confusing CBA stuff going forward?

33:20 - Let's use the Harbaugh Hierarchy to evaluate Sunday's Broncos vs Giants game.

10-21-25 Hour 1 - Greenlaw suspended 1 game/Vic defends refs, Dodgers vs Blue Jays WS/2 great Avs goalies

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 16:18:32 +0000

0:00 - Dre Greenlaw returned to the field on Sunday...then got suspended for 1 game. Welp, that was quick. Was it warranted? How did he find himself in this mess?

15:51 - In a shocking turn of events, Vic Lombardi goes to bat (pun intended?) for sports referees/officials/umpires. After that, the World Series is set. Blue Jays vs Dodgers. And Brett is torn. He always roots for an American team ESPECIALLY against a Canadian team. But the American team...is the Dodgers! We can't root for the Dodgers and we also can't root for Canada. What's a man supposed to do!?

34:27 - The Avalanche have 2 fantastic goalies right now. Wedgie is playing like a man possessed. When Blackwood is healthy, will he get the starting job back? Or should the Avs ride the hot hand and stick with Wedgie?

Adam Schefter breaks down Denver's win over the NY Giants by the numbers

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 16:57:49 +0000

The odds weren't in Denver's favor yesterday...until they were. What an insane comeback win over the NY Football Giants at Mile High. Adam Schefter joined us today and rattled off some numbers that put the impossible game in perspective.

10-20-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Broncos win was a Rorschach Test/The win probability roller coaster

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 16:55:20 +0000

0:00 - Adam Schefter joined us this morning and rattled off some numbers that demonstrate just how improbably Denver's win over the Giants was yesterday.

19:18 - Yesterday's Broncos win was a Rorschach Test. You can look at that game and have whatever takeaway you want, and you're right. Did you love the game? Did you hate the game? Did you feel all the emotions? No matter what you thought, you're right.

34:00 - For every game, ESPN has their "win probability" chart that changes throughout the game and shows the, you guessed it, probability that either team will win. The chart was INSANE during the 4th quarter of the Broncos game yesterday. It jumped around all over the place, and the odds were never in Denver's favor...until they won.

10-20-25 Hour 2 - A Tale of Two Broncos Teams/Around the NFL/Broncos Players In the Groove

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 16:46:27 +0000

0:00 - This Broncos team can play horribly, or they can play lights out. It's amazing to see how they flip flop back and forth between 2 different versions of themselves. They'll pulled off 3 consecutive thrilling come from behind victories. Bo's orchestrated game-winning comeback drives in all of them. But you know what would also be awesome? Winning a game wire to wire! Not needing late game theatrics to win a game.

17:54 - Let's step away from the Broncos win for just a second and take a look Around the NFL.

31:33 - Which Broncos players were in the groove yesterday?

10-20-25 Hour 1 - 3 Different Broncos Games in One/Nix-Payton Disconnect/PSII lost hope in the game

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 16:35:53 +0000

0:00 - WHAT A BRONCOS WIN! It doesn't feel like we witness one game yesterday. It feels like that was 2 games. 3 games. 5 games. A lifetime of different games all crammed into one. What an adventure!

15:27 - We're 7 games into the season...and it STILL feels like Bo Nix and Sean Payton are on very different pages more often than not. They certainly were yesterday for 3 quarters. Hopefully, Sean learned from that 4Q comeback and understands how to set his QB up for success going forward. But Bo isn't blameless. He also missed some must-make throws throughout the game.

35:37 - PSII said postgame that he "lost hope" in a Broncos win at one point. That's wild. Even the guys on the field didn't think they could pull off the upset. Vic ties PSII's comment into a larger point about "receipt street" and so-called poorly aged takes.

10-17-25 Hour 3 - Hey NY Giants...Remember Who You Are/LAY IT DOWN!!!/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:35:14 +0000

0:00 - Giants fans are super high on the Darts and their Skattebos and that's great, man. Good for them. But don't forget who you are. The lowly Giants are facing the elite Broncos defense! IN DENVER! With a Rookie QB! As the late great Peter McNab one said..."It's over, pal."

15:10 - Do you have any extra quarters? The Tooth Fairy brought you a good haul? Maybe Granny sent you a fat check for your birthday. What you're gonna do...is that all your schmeckles...call up your bookie...and LAY IT DOWN! Moser, take it away!

34:09 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

10-17-25 Hour 2 - Indiana Secures Cignetti/Avs are deeper, Mas O Menos/Nerdy Broncos stats

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:27:05 +0000

0:00 - Rumos were swirling that Penn State might try to snatch up Curt Cignetti. So Indiana took preventative measures to make sure that won't happen. It got us thinking...what's a better landing spot for a coach. A big prestigious school with a rich football history and high expectations? Or a "smaller" less presitigious place where you get paid?

14:49 - The Avs depth was on display last night. The 2nd line handled the scoring last night in the win over Columbus.
After that, it's everyone's favorite new sultry salacious sensual segment! Let's preview Broncos vs Giants with a little...Mas o Menos.

31:50 - We make fun of the stats nerds, and rightfully so, but sometimes the stats do help us. The fellas dug up some stats that tell the story of the Broncos season so far.

10-17-25 Hour 1 - Avs Stay RED HOT/Joe Flacco: Still Elite/Cowherd Pushing Payton's Propaganda

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:17:00 +0000

0:00 - Another Avs game, another Avs win! They beat the Columbus Blue Jackets and now have a record of 4-0-1. It's pretty much the exact opposite of last year's start. Thanks goodness.

17:09 - Joe Flacco vs Aaron Rodgers turned out to be a really entertaining clash of the retirees! Mike Tomlin was onto something when he criticized the Browns GM for trading Flacco within the division.

32:07 - Colin Cowherd is out here pushing Sean Payton's propaganda about Bo Nix. But what else is new? Here's the latest from the Cowherd Spin Machine.

10-16-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Boudreau praises Avs, Thorn-in-your-side teams/Broncos-Giants line shifting

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 16:44:34 +0000

0:00 - Leggy joined us today to dig into everything from Dre Greenlaw's return, Cam Skattebo's...unique playing style, and Brett Kane's KC Conspiracy.

20:00 - Bruce Boudreau, of name mispronunciation fame, said the Avs are the most impressive NHL team so far this season. After that, the Dallas Stars are a HUGE thorn in the Avalanche's side. Is there another local team that struggles with an opponent as muich as the Avs struggle with the Stars?

32:59 - The line for the Giants @ Broncos game is shifting and not in the way you'd expect. Why is that?

10-16-25 Hour 2 - Broncos players on Cam Skattebo/Chad Brown/Potential Broncos trades, Nix in Year 2

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 16:34:04 +0000

0:00 - Both Nik Bonitto and JFM had some wild ways to describe Cam Skattebo yesterday. He's an absolute lunatic and we're here for it.

15:05 - We always catch up with Chad Brown at 8:30am on Thursday! How does Chad feel about the state of his beloved Buffaloes heading into their bye week? How does he think the Broncos offense can improve?

34:00 - Bill Barnwell proposed a trade that might benefit the Broncos. After that, we're 1/3 of the way into the season. Bo has 6 more games under his belt. Is he improving? Does he do anything better this year than he did last year?

10-16-25 Hour 1 - Greenlaw activated from IR/Kaner's Chiefs Conspiracy/Westbrook signs with King

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 16:22:56 +0000

0:00 - Dre Greenlaw has officially been activated from IR! He can return when he's ready. But...when will he actually BE ready? Don't ask Sean Payton about it.

19:38 - Brett's not a conspiracy guy...but he's connecting some dots that are hard to ignore regarding the Chiefs and NFL officiating.

34:36 - Russell Westbrook just signed with the Sacramento Kings. Why did he choose SacTown specifically? And why did he wait so long to sign somewhere?

10-15-25 Hour 3 - Avs PP vs Nugs Bench, Chiefs and the Refs/Emotional about sports/KHL ref banned for bad call

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 16:45:25 +0000

0:00 - Brett has an interesting take on the Avalanche PP and the Nuggets bench, and how they're in similar situations. After that, the "Chiefs benefit from favorable calls" narrative just won't go away. The latest controversy was Detriot's trick play TD on Sunday Night Football that the refs took off the board. Dan Campbell addressed on his radio show this week and added some more fuel to the fire.

18:15 - (Producer's note: again, I'm sorry you can't hear the music coming back from break. I edited together another silly piece that used copyrighted music. Instead, enjoy our awkward laughter acapella.)
The Rockies have begun the search for a new GM and word on the street is they're actually looking externally! Outside their organization! For someone with a new perspective! Say it ain't so!
After that, we often get too emotional about sports. Or do we? How emotional is "too" emotional?

33:46 - A KHL referee has been banned for life over a blown call. Sheesh...can you imagine if we did that here in the states? Also, the Celtics coaching staff played against Celtics media members in a scrimmage, and the coaches OBLITERATED the media. Feels like Joe Mazzulla had a message he wanted to send...

10-15-25 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Hufanga saved the Broncos vs Jets game/NFL True or False!

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 16:20:27 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche are off off to a HOT start! 4 games, 3 wins, 0 regulation losses. How does Jared Bednar feel about his squad's performance so far in the young season?

23:00 - There's one play from Broncos vs Jets that isn't getting enough attention. Vic explains how Hufanga completely changed the trajectory of the game when it matter most, and helped Denver secure the win.

33:55 - It's been awhile...let's play another edition of NFL True or False that eventually devolves into a debate about how "real" jet lag is.

10-15-25 Hour 1 - Broncos prepping for Giants/Nuggets impressive in preseason/Lane Kiffin's killer insult

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 16:11:36 +0000

0:00 - We have no idea what to make of this Broncos vs Giants game coming up on Sunday. The Giants look rejuvinated with Jaxson Dart under center. The Broncos have to readjust from the London trip without a bye week. But, Dart is still a rookie. And this Broncos defense is great at making rookie QBs suffer.

17:09 - Let's not get too excited about preseason...but that being said...the Nuggets looked good last night vs the Bulls at Ball Arena! Murray looks lean and ready to roll. Valanciunas looks like an actual backup center who can get physical in the post and share minutes with Jokic. This revamped lineup already seems like the real deal.

34:07 - Lane Kiffin took a hilarious shot at one of his peers during his presser yesterday. It's a great zinger off the top of his head. That turned into a discussion about laugher: fake laughter, real laughter, pity laughter, forced laughter, you name it. Laughter in its many forms.

10-14-25 Hour 3 - The Harbaugh Hierarchy/Fair criticism of CU/Caller gives us the business, Fact Checker

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:35:53 +0000

0:00 - We do it after every Broncos game! Let's use Jim Harbaugh's weird system to evaluate how the Broncos and Jets both played in London on Sunday. And we finally have a name for it: The Harbaugh Hierarchy.

17:21 - Anytime you criticize CU football, the so-called Honks come out and call you a hater. Vic & Brett have been critical of CU during the Prime Era, but they think the criticism is fair and grounded. And warranted, more often than not.

34:27 - A caller didn't agree with Vic & Brett's criticism of CU (see description of previous segment), so he called the show to give us an earful. After that, Moser told us about his plans for his day off in Columbus, Ohio...and he used an unfortunate wording.

10-14-25 Hour 2 - Avs can stockpile points in October/AFC is all over the place/Inconsistent power rankings

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:24:19 +0000

0:00 - Looking at the upcoming schedule for the Avalanche...they can win a lot of games right now. The rest of October isn't that difficult. They need to stockpile points while they can, especially since (almost) the entire roster is healthy and firing on all cylinders. Strike while the iron's hot, boys.

14:37 - Right now, the top teams in the AFC are the Colts, Steelers, Chargers, Patriots. Anyone have that in their preseason predictions? How did those teams factor in to all the early power rankings?

32:12 - The more we go down the power rankings rabbit hole, the more we figured something out: No one can agree on the pecking order of teams in the NFL. So far, this season has been beautifully chaotic. You love to see it.

10-14-25 Hour 1 - Looking back on Mikko for Marty/A wild MNF doubleheader/Mike Tomlin rips Browns GM

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:14:22 +0000

0:00 - The Avs beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 yesterday in an afternoon delight affair. Marty Nachos had himself another fantastic performance. Looking back on the Rantanen for Necas trade, do we feel good about it overall? Has Necas matched/surpassed the level at Mikko was playing at, even though it's a small sample size so far?

16:11 - Producer's note: sorry you can't hear the music coming back from break. I edited together a silly mashup that used copyrighted music, and we can't put that in the podcast. I promise it was a banger!
Once that was over...last night's MNF Doubleheader featured two pretty good games, all things considered. What are the takeaways? Is Buffalo floundering? Is Atlanta legit? Is the sophomore slump coming for Jayden Daniels? Are the Bears figuring it out?

34:18 - It's rare that you hear a coach openly criticize another team's GM. Well, Mike Tomlin did just that yesterday.

Adam Schefter somehow stayed wake through the Broncos vs Jets London game

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:29:05 +0000

That Broncos vs Jets game was so incredibly bad and boring. It set the game of football back decades. Maybe they were trying to win over the Brits by only kicking the football. I digress...we asked Adam Schefter if he was able to stomach the whole thing, then got Schefty's thoughts on the NFL weekend that was.

10-13-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Broncos lack offensive consistency/Nugs looking good, Avs lose to Stars

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:24:35 +0000

0:00 - That Broncos vs Jets game was so incredibly bad and boring. It set the game of football back decades. Maybe they were trying to win over the Brits by only kicking the football. I digress...we asked Adam Schefter if he was able to stomach the whole thing, then got Schefty's thoughts on the NFL weekend that was.

18:14 - The Chargers and Chiefs both won yesterday. The AFC West is looking like the AFC wild wild West. Broncos NEED to consistently move the ball on offense to keep pace. And their offense runs incredibly hot and cold. Yesterday proved one thing to us: they really miss Ben Powers and need to figure out how to stay afloat while he's out.

34:11 - It's only preseason, but the Revamped Nuggets are looking sharp out there. Thank goodness we successfully secured Valanciunas and didn't let him go to Greece. Also, the Avs lost to the Stars again on Saturday. The curse lives on. The Avs power play is still not where it needs to be. Fans in Ball Arena booed their own squad, and Nathan MacKinnon wasn't having it.

10-13-25 Hour 2 - Broncos ELITE defense saved the game/Around the NFL/CU & CSU find the win column again!

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos defense is ELITE. Period. And they absolutely bailed out the Broncos yesterday. No one else did their job except the defense.

13:19 - It's Monday at 8:20am, so it's time to take a look around the NFL and the wild football weekend that was!

32:04 - BOTH CU and CSU found their ways back to the win column! Man, both those teams needed a win in the worst way. CSU remembered how to move the football down the field. CU salvaged the season, for all intents and purposes, by keeping their bowl dreams alive.

10-13-25 Hour 1 - Ugly, head-scratching Broncos win in London/Go with the flow, Sean!/Avs lose to Stars...again

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - A win is a win is a win, but man...The Broncos looked UGLY yesterday in London. They almost lost to a New York Jets team that had -10 passing yards. NEGATIVE. NET. PASSING. YARDS. And yet, the Jets could've won it with a walkoff FG. This is the angriest we've been about a win in a long time.

16:59 - Bo Nix was wheelin' and dealin' in the first half yesterday, then Sean Payton completely abandoned the passing game in the 2nd half. What was that, Sean? Now, I know we've been clamoring for the Broncos to run the ball more...but it ultimately comes down to the flow. Go with the flow. If the pass game is working, call pass plays! If the pass isn't working, call run plays! Don't overthink this, Sean.

36:32 - Death, taxes, and the Colorado Avalanche losing to the Dallas Stars. Saturday was no exception. And of COURSE Mikko looked good in the game, as well. Jared Bednar had a great zinger about the Stars in his postgame presser, and MacKinnon wasn't happy with the home fans booing.

10-10-25 Hour 3 - Jesse Trujillo live in London/LAY IT DOWN/RIP Brett's nemesis, DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 16:46:30 +0000

0:00 - Jesse Trujillo, engineer extraordinaire of SPINS and HOME RUN fame, joined us live from London! Here's there right now with the Broncos. What are Jesse's observations from across the pond?

13:07 - Do you have some extra cash laying around? Maybe you found some dollars in the washer...a couple extra coins between the couch cushions...maybe grandma gave you some birthday money...you need to LAY IT DOWN!!!!

31:40 - Brett's mortal enemy, his sworn nemesis in this life, has finally left this earth. She is no more. Rest in peace. After that, it's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES!

10-10-25 Hour 2 - A good backup goalie feels GREAT/Mas O Menos/Phillies choke, Dodgers advance

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 16:38:50 +0000

0:00 - We forgot what it feels like to have goaltending depth. The Avs didn't play great last night, but Wedgewood bailed them out time and time again. And he's technically the backup! Or maybe he's the 1B to Blackwood's 1A. But for now, he's the guy.

18:32 - It's everyone's favorite new sultry, saucy, salacious segment...time for another sensual edition...of Mas O Menos.

31:05 - The Phillies had the Dodgers in their crosshairs late last night, then their pitcher made an all-time weird error in crunch time. Dodgers advance. Who are you rooting for in the playoffs? Brett has it narrowed down to 2 categories: anyone but the Dodgers/whoever wins the Detroit vs Seattle series. All good candidates. Just please not LA and their $50 gazillion of deferred money.

10-10-25 Hour 1 - Wedgewood is a Luxury!/Brian Daboll invades the blue tent/Can Broncos stop the run?

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 16:29:08 +0000

0:00 - Man, isn't it great having Wedgewood in net for the Avs? And he's the backup! He's not even the starter here! On any other team, he'd be a starter. What a luxury! He stood on his head last night and helped the Avs win again. 2-0 baby!

16:55 - Does anyone hate Russell Wilson more than Brian Daboll right now? During the game last night, Giants QB Jaxson Dart got banged up at one point and headed to the injury tent. Russell Wilson entered the game and immediately started doing Russell Wilson things...aka playing bad football. Giants Coach Brian Daboll was so irate that he stormed into the tent to get a medical update. That doesn't seem like a good idea. Or legal.

36:34 - What do the Jets do well? Run the ball. Breece Hall is a solid RB, plus Justin Fields has wheels. He's probably the 2nd-best running QB in the league behind Lamar Jackson. Will the Broncos be able to contain the run?

10-09-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold live from London/Stupid premature MLB celebrations/Banged up Broncos O-line

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 16:28:43 +0000

0:00 - Live from across the pond, Jeff Legwold joined the show due to the wonders of modern technology! How will this team stack up against the winless Jets? Will the O-line hold up without Ben Powers?

19:43 - The Toronto Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees last night and will advance to the ALCS. As is tradition, they popped champagne in the locker room and celebrated like the sun won't rise tomorrow. Baseball is the ONLY SPORT where they party like that after each playoff round. Are we a fan of that tradition? Or is it stupid?

32:29 - The Broncos haven't had to deal with O-line injuries in a while. They're JUST NOW starting to establish a running identity on offense. Can the continue to establish the run while Ben Powers is out?

10-09-25 Hour 2 - Erik Johnson joins the show/More from EJ, Chad Brown/Avs top 6 is STACKED

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 16:18:18 +0000

0:00 - The newly retired, newly veneered Erik Johnson joined us this morning! He'll be in the booth with Conor tonight for the Avs home opener. The Condor will be on the call for various Avs games throughout the season, as well.

13:15 - We figured out our technical difficulties and got EJ back to finish our conversation. After that, let's go from a retired hockey player to a retired football player! Chad Johnson made his weekly appearance with us and told us about the moment he knew it was time to return from football.

34:30 - I know we sound like a broken record, but this Avs roster is so stacked! Top to bottom...1-6...is anyone better than the Avs?

10-09-25 Hour 1 - Sutton & Dobbins are underrated/Avs tune up for Game #2/Belichick's UNC Debacle

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 16:08:03 +0000

0:00 - We understand the value of guys like Courtland Sutton and JK Dobbins. But on a national scale, they're vastly underrated/undervalued in the vast NFL world.

20:25 - It's the Avs home opener tonight! They're back at Ball playing the Utah Hockey Clu-I mean, Mammoth in Game #2 of the young season. What do we need to see from them tonight that we didn't see in Game #1?

34:46 - The Bill Belichick UNC Experiment keeps getting weirder and weirder by the day and Brett can't stop going down the rabbit hole of weirdness. If this keeps going belly up, will Belichick ever get another coaching job?

10-08-25 Hour 3 - Jared Bednar/Massive CFB donors, Jerry Jones fined for a finger/Broncos matchup with Jets

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 16:30:38 +0000

0:00 - The Avs beat the Kings 4-1 in LA yesterday and started their season on a high note. What did Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar think of his team's all-around complete performance?

19:25 - There are some college football donors out here PRINTING money. Someone made a casual $50 million donation to Stanford. No big deal.
After that, Jerry Jones flipped someone the bird and got fined for it. Really? I'm sorry, I thought this was America!

32:20 - The Broncos can easily handle the Jets, London or not. Don't get too high on yourself after the Philadelphia win. Head to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and take care of your business. Plus, the game after that (vs Giants) isn't a gimme with the wild travel schedule and jet lag.
Also, Jared Bednar gushed about how amazingly talented Cale Makar is, and just for a second, he sounded more like a fan than a coach.

10-08-25 Hour 2 - MLB Playoffs, JJ on LeBron's "Decision"/Broncos stacked in the trenches/Big Avs improvements

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 16:18:56 +0000

0:00 - The Yankees pulled off a wild comeback yesterday in the Bronx! And Kershaw is spoiled with how great the Dodgers have been for his entire career.
After that, JJ Redick spoke about LeBron's latest decision and everyone who thought he'd retire. Turns out, JJ is still incredibly full of himself.

14:37 - The Broncos are beefy in the trenches where it counts. Bonitto is having one heck of a year so far after 4 games! Also, have you ever seen a local news station interviewing a backup QB at a car dealership? You have now.

32:56 - For the past 8? 9? 10? months, we've been talking about all the different areas of need the Avalanche filled. Last night, we saw the improved roster on full display.
Next up, this Bill Belichick UNC situation keeps getting weirder and weirder. They were supposedly going to release a behind the scene documentary about the football team, but the whole project has been scrapped now. The Tarheels version of Belichick couldn't be more different from the Patriots Way Belichick.

10-08-25 Hour 1 - The Avs are SO BACK/New NFL Power Rankings/Landy is as good as new

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Man, the Avs are SO BACK! What a commanding and dominant win over the Kings in LA last night. They're rested, refreshed, and ready to roll. And this team is DEEP, maybe even deeper than the 2022 squad. Let's go.

16:15 - Brett found an NFL Power Rankings list that slots the Broncos at #9 in the league. Is that accurate? Does that feel like the correct spot?

35:04 - Landeskog looked GOOD last night. He looks like he hasn't missed a beat at all. The captain is back, and the team is definitely benefiting from it.

10-07-25 Hour 3 - The Ten Commandments of a Denver Sports Fan/LeBron's lame decision/Avs new acquisitions

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 16:49:04 +0000

0:00 - Let's evaluate Sunday's Broncos @ Eagles game using the Jim Harbaugh Method that we've been testing out this season.
Then...Vic Lombardi has written the Ten Commandments of Being a Denver Sports Fan. If you disagree with ANY of them, you're not a Denver sports fan. Period. And it was good.

14:15 - LeBron's been teasing us with this "second decision" for the past 24 hours. Turns out...major letdown. Shocker.

31:37 - The Avs made some more acquisitions this offseason, and tonight, we'll see them for the first time. How will Bednar slot everyone in tonight for Game #1 of the new season?

10-07-25 Hour 2 - New-look Jags, Nugs preseason Game #1/AFC West up for grabs/Landy returns to regular season

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 16:38:04 +0000

0:00 - Man, something's in the water in Jacksonville! That teams looks nothing like the squad we saw last year. It was an ugly win, but it was still a massive win on MNF. Next, the Nuggets kicked off the preseason last night. Vic noticed one thing in particular that gives him hope for this season.

14:46 - The Chiefs look mortal again. The Chargers are Chargering once again. The Raiders look awful. The AFC West is wide open. It's completely and totally up for grabs in a way that it hasn't been for years.

31:39 - Tonight, Landeskog will suit up with the Avalanche in the regular season for the first time in 3 years. The roster looked way different the last time he did so. See if you can remember the line combos for his last regular season game.

10-07-25 Hour 1 - Broncos will win the AFC West/Avalanche hockey is BACK/Ben Powers placed on IR

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 16:23:20 +0000

0:00 - Last night made it clearer than ever: the Chiefs are no longer the AFC/AFC West juggernaut they once were. It's a whole new world out there, and Moser is ready to make a proclamation: The Broncos are winning the AFC West. BOOK IT!

14:30 - Avalanche hokcey is BACK TONIGHT, baby! The wait is over. You made it. We're here. Let's go. We've had these expectations before. It seems like every year for the past 5-6 years, the Avs have had fantastic odds to win it all. And yet, they've done it once. Why will this year be different? Brett explains.

34:21 - Broncos Guard Ben Powers is headed to IR with a torn bicep. He'll be out until at least December. That's a huge blow to the O-line. How will Denver offsense hold up without him?

Adam Schefter thinks this win will ignite the Broncos

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 17:18:11 +0000

Adam Schefter joins us after an NFL weekend that saw: the Broncos beat the Eagles in Philly, the Saints pummel the Giants, the Titans beat the Cardinals with an impossible 4th quarter comeback, AND the Patriots beat the Bills IN BUFFALO. It's only Week 5, and there are no remaining undefeated teams. What does Schefter make of all the insanity?

10-06-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Pump the Broncos brakes, CU & CSU are sunk/Nix didn't get rattled

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 16:32:30 +0000

0:00 - Adam Schefter joins us after an NFL weekend that saw: the Broncos beat the Eagles in Philly, the Saints pummel the Giants, the Titans beat the Cardinals with an impossible 4th quarter comeback, AND the Patriots beat the Bills IN BUFFALO. It's only Week 5, and there are no remaining undefeated teams. What does Schefter make of all the insanity?

17:27 - It was a huge signature win for the Broncos, but everybody cheeeellllll. Everyone acts like they're running the table now, winning the next 5-6 games no question, winning the AFC West, etc. Let's pump the brakes here! This team still has stuff to work on before they're a bonafide juggernaut.
After that, both CSU and CU are in deep trouble. CSU knows they need to fire their head coach, but it'll cost them a lot of dough if they do it before Jan 1. Deion Sanders is having medial issues yet again, and clearly Salter isn't the guy.

33:59 - After an abysmal first half, Bo Nix didn't get rattled. He battled back and orchestrated a comeback late in the 4th quarter on the road in Philly against the undefeated defending Super Bowl champs. Atta boy, Bo. Way to go!

10-06-25 Hour 2 - Critical moments of the Broncos win/Around the NFL/In the Groove, Unrest in the Eagles

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - There were so many moments that lead to the Broncos victory. Let's relive the game play by play, quarter by quarter, moment by moment.

19:08 - I feel like I've been saying this every week but MAN, that was a wild weekend in the NFL! Let's take a look around the league and recap all the insanity.

35:10 - Which Broncos players (or coaches?) are in the groove right now? After that, there's unrest amongst the ranks of the Eagles. Can Sirianni reign in the locker room? More importantly, does Brett hate Italians?

10-06-25 Hour 1 - Broncos win checked every box/AJ Brown's antics, "Lucky" Broncos/In Defense of Riley Moss

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 15:55:08 +0000

0:00 - BRONCOS COUNTRY. LET'S RIDE! The Broncos rode into Philly and stole a win over the defending champs. That game checked every box we needed to see. The defense stood tall. The offense made adjustments and battled back. Bo Nix lead a late game-winning drive. And they finally got their statement win in the Payton Era.

17:07 - AJ Brown's diva antics ultimately doomed the Eagles yesterday. After that, make no mistake...luck played a factor in Denver's win. BUT! BUT...luck won't help you unless you put yourself in a position to BENEFIT from the luck. You earn the right to be helped by luck. That's exactly what the Broncos did.

33:16 - Riley Moss is on the business end of some harsh criticism after the game yesterday. Heck, he's been getting killed on social media all season long. People need to cool it. Anyone who wants Moss' head on a stake don't understand his role on the defense. Vic and Brett explain.

10-03-25 Hour 3 - Simplifying the Broncos offense/LAY IT DOWN, Katy Winge/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 16:15:33 +0000

0:00 - Football doesn't need to be complicated. Far from it. They're getting there, but the Broncos need to keep simplying and streamlining the offense.

15:11 - You got some extra cash burnin' a hole in your pocket? Just listen to Moser. He'll tell you where to LAY IT DOWN! After that, Katy Winge joins us live from sunny San Diego to give us all the latest from Nuggets training camp.

36:02 - Let's make some final predictions for Broncos @ Eagles. Then, it's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

10-03-25 Hour 2 - Broncos Vibes are getting better/Mas O Menos/Krecker's train came before Moser's train

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 16:10:22 +0000

0:00 - Call it delusion. Call it discovery. Call it science. Call it whatever! But as the week's gone on, we've started to feel better and better about the Broncos' chances in Philly. Why are we starting to believe?

17:14 - Everyone's favorite gramatically correct segment is back! It's time for another edition of Mas O Menos!

29:54 - Moser's Broncos hype train is picking up speed! It was even turned into a promo that aired on our station. All aboard! But Nate Kreckman took exception to that. He claims he got his Broncos train rolling long before Moser's.

10-03-25 Hour 1 - Sean Payton signature win?/Broncos & Eagles fraudulent stats/MLB Wild Card round

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Last night, the injured, depleted JV Niners beat the Rams on the road in OT! Another Thursday Night Thriller. It got Brett thinking...has there been a Broncos "signature win" in the Sean Payton era? If they beat the Eagles on Sunday, that's will be a bonafide signature win.

16:14 - RGIII said it best: "Stats are like a bikini. They show you a lot, but they don't show you everything." Brett has some stats about the Broncos defense and Eagles offense that may be fraudulent.

34:55 - MLB Wild Card round is in the books! The playoffs are set for real now. It was an exciting slate of baseball games! This new WC format is awesome.

10-02-25 Hour 3 - Renck on the Rockies, NFL True or False/Jeff Legwold/Erik Johnson retires from NHL

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 16:31:35 +0000

0:00 - Troy Renck of the Denver Post wrote a long, in-depth piece on the Rockies and their failures this year. He also included some ideas about how to actually, for really real, super cereal, fix this team and plan for the future.
After that, let's get to our weekly edition of NFL TRUE OR FALSE!

13:54 - Do the Broncos stand a chance against the Eagles? Who has the upper hand in the offensive vs defensive chess match between Sean Payton and Vic Fangio? Let's get Leggy's thoughts.

31:17 - Erik Johnson announced his retirement from hockey yesterday. What a career for EJ! He's one of the longest tenured athletes in Denver/Colorado sports history. Can you name the others?

10-02-25 Hour 2 - Vic Fangio on balls/Moser's bad live read, Chad Brown/A truly "selfless" player

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 16:23:49 +0000

0:00 - Eagles Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio addressed the media in Philly earlier this week and spoke about how/why NFL kickers are hitting 60-yard chip shots these days. It turned into him talking about balls and how they're handled. A lot. Lotta balls talk from ol' Vic.

14:20 - All the talk about balls got us in a silly mood, and it completely derailed Moser's live read for Rocky Mountain Men's Clinic. For the podcast listeners who don't know, "live reads" are essentially commercials/endorsements that our hosts do live during commericals breaks instead of recording something in advance.
After that, Chad Brown joined us to preview Buffs @ TCU on Saturday and Broncos @ Eagles on Sunday.

36:43 - Chad Brown said Jalen Hurts is a selfless player. He goes to work, does his job, and fills whatever role the offense needs him to fill. What is a truly "selfless" player?

10-02-25 Hour 1 - Shedeur's wordless response/How good is Jalen Hurts?/5 tiers of NFL Teams

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 16:08:30 +0000

0:00 - Shedeur talked to media in the locker room yesterday...by not actually talking at all. He adressed reporters with a wordless answer. He was moving his lips but not making any noise. Was this a shot at Rex Ryan saying he runs his mouth? Even still, what a weird thing to do.

20:14 - How good is Jalen Hurts? Is he a world-beater, bonafide game-changing QB? The so-called "rising tide" that lifts all boats? Or is he just good enough to work with the pieces around him? Not that there's anything wrong with that!

33:02 - Moser found an article that divides all NFL teams into 5 tiers. (it's pretty inferior if you ask us, since it's just tiers without power rankings...) Where do the Broncos stack up?

10-01-25 Hour 3 - Are the Eagles gettable?/Camera lens shattered by a baseball/Rockies GM steps down

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:45:59 +0000

0:00 - Think about the KC Chiefs last season...they seemed mortal and beatable...and yet they kept winning somehow! That's how Brett feels about the Eagles this season. Is that a fair comparison?

20:22 - A Guardians player hit a foul ball DIRECTLY into a camera lens yesterday and it gave us possibly the cleanest glass-breaking sound effect of all time.

33:17 - Bill Schmidt stepped down as Rockies GM. What's next for the Rockies? Will they finally hire someone from outside the organization who knows how to make smart personnel decisions?

10-01-25 Hour 2 - Jared Bednar/Sean Payton is Pro-Tush Push/Breece Hall's depressed postgame comment

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:35:55 +0000

0:00 - Bedsie is back! We'll chat with the head coach of your Colorado Avalanche Jared Bednar every Wednesday morning at 8am MT. Today, we asked him how his squad is shaping up before the regular season begins next week.

22:28 - Sean Payton told reporters that he voted against the proposal to ban the Tush Push. In other words, he voted to keep the Tush Push. Brett thinks his reasoning goes a little deeper than football Xs and Os...

33:28 - The New York Football Jets are in a world of hurt right now. An 0-4 world of hurt. Jets RB Breece Hall had an interesting postgame comment to describe what's going wrong for them right now.

10-01-25 Hour 1 - CU student section fined/Vic Fangio praises Bo Nix/Which NFL coach could you beat up?

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:28:49 +0000

0:00 - The CU Student Section shouted some vulgar chants at BYU Fans last weekend, and the university received a fat fine from the Big 12. Deion addressed it yesterday and said the CU students were probably drunk and high at the same time. He ain't wrong!

16:51 - Eagles defensive coordinator (and former Broncos head coach) Vic Fangio had high praise for Bo Nix and the work Sean Payton has done with him so far.

31:55 - Robert Saleh looks like a guy you wouldn't want to tussle with. But...which NFL coach do you think you COULD beat up in a fight?

9-30-25 Hour 3 - Broncos building an identity, The Mose Train/Broncos headed to Philly/Clippers Media Day

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 16:45:10 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, the Broncos started to build an identity. An offensive identity. Despire what Deion Sanders might say, an identity is important. Also, Moser is digging his heels in: the Broncos are about to go 7-3. Book it! They're gonna lose to Philly next week, then win every game until the bye week. Are you ready to ride the Moser train?

17:33 - The Broncos are headed to Philly on a short week. That 11am East Coast slot has never been kind to them and, oh by the way, they're facing the defending champs. Do they stand a chance? How would a win be possible?

30:41 - At Clippers Media Day yesterday, Ramona Shelburne showed up to address the elephant...or rather the trees...in the room. She asked everyone very pointed questions about the whole Aspiration/Kawhi Leonard scandal that just won't die, and she got some very awkward answers.

9-30-25 Hour 2 - Harbaugh System of Evaluation/Brett's mind-blowing stat/Who's in the groove, MLB playoffs

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 16:32:50 +0000

0:00 - After the Broncos/Chargers game last week, Jim Harbaugh had an...interesting way of evaluating his team and players. Let's take his evaluation system and apply it to the Broncos vs Bengals game.

14:43 - Brett has a Broncos stat that he says is...MIND-BLOWING!

32:36 - Which Broncos players are in the groove right now? Also, the MLB playoffs begin today. Who are we rooting for? Who are we rooting against? Remember when the Rockies were playoff contenders once upon a time...those were the days...

9-30-25 Hour 1 - The win the Broncos needed/Bo's end zone interception/New-look Nuggets are DIALED IN

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 16:20:33 +0000

0:00 - Sure, they beat up on a bad team. Sure, it wasn't perfect. But overall, that was EXCATLY the kind of game the Broncos needed. They bounced back in a big way and started to establish a blueprint for success on offense.

15:29 - Of course end zone interceptions are never ideal. But were you okay with Bo taking a shot there on 4th down late in the 2nd quarter? Vic and Brett said you have to huck it on 4th down no matter what. But Moser doesn't want Bo to form bad habits.

34:00 - Yesterday was Nuggets media day. And this new squad is ready to roll! For the first time in a long time, everyone is on the same page and stoked to be here.

Emmanuel Sanders is remembered for this ONE specific play in his whole career

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:48:41 +0000

So much has been made of Bo Nix and his overthrown deep passes. Were those miscues his fault? Or are his receivers to blame? Former Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders joined the show today to share his thoughts on Bo Nix, Denver's offense as a whole, and the trajectory of the Broncos season so far.

There's also one specific play in his career that everyone always asks him about to this day! TCan you guess what it is?

Adam Schefter preview Broncos vs Bengals on Monday Night Football

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:46:25 +0000

It's rare that we get to actually preview a Broncos game with Adam! Let's see what he has to say about tonight's matchup. Also, Adam broke some big NFL news smack dab in the middle of his interview with us.

9-29-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Emmanuel Sanders joins the show/Rex Ryan's Rant on Shedeur Sanders

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 16:20:09 +0000

0:00 - I feel like I say this every week but MAN, what a wild NFL weekend that was! Adam Schefter makes his weekly apperance with us to break down the action-packed NFL Sunday that ended in a 40-40 tie. We'll also get Schefty's prediction's for tonight Broncos vs Bengals game. And, Schefty actually broke some news during our show!

18:01 - So much has been made of Bo Nix and his overthrown deep passes. Were those miscues his fault? Or are his receivers to blame? Former Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders joined the show today to share his thoughts on Bo Nix, Denver's offense as a whole, and the trajectory of the Broncos season so far.

36:27 - Rex Ryan had some harsh words for Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns. Next, let's make some final predictions for Monday Night Football and hit a quick Fact Checker.

9-29-25 Hour 2 - What offense will we see tonight?/Around the NFL/Moser's unique Broncos analysis

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 16:11:09 +0000

0:00 - Which version of the Broncos offense will we see tonight: the one they should run, or the version they have been running?

14:12 - It's 8:28am on a Monday which means it's time to take a look Around the NFL!

33:30 - Moser said something about tonight's Broncos game that ONLY APPLIES to tonight's Broncos game and not every other game on the schedule!

9-29-25 Hour 1 - Buffs & Rams lose, NO NFL TIES/Chargers fall, Chiefs soar/Ryder Cup Rudeness

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - CU had a chance to rally and beat BYU at Folsom...and managed to fall flat on their faces down the stretch again. The Rams got smacked around again. They were never in that game to begin with. Our local college football teams need to get their act together.
Also, after the Packers @ Cowboys game last night, we're ready to say it: NO MORE NFL TIES! There can't be ties in the National Football League. Last time I checked, this is America.

15:15 - The Chargers fell to the Jaxson Dart-led Giants, and the Chiefs absolutely mollywhopped the Ravens. How does this slight reshuffling of the AFC West affect the Broncos?

36:58 - The Ryder Cup was ROUGH over the weekend for Team USA. And the worst part? Brett is actually coming to the defense of his nemesis Rory McIlroy.

9-26-25 Hour 3 - Is Shedeur as good as other NFL QBs?/Broncos can copy the Seahawks/DRUNK TAKES!

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 16:35:13 +0000

0:00 - Shedeur Sanders recently told a reporter in Cleveland, "If you see the QB play in the league right now, I know I'm capable of doing better than that." Do we agree? Where does he stack up? And more importantly, why is a reporter out here grabbing quotes from a 3rd string QB?

14:19 - Look at how the Seahawks pulled off the victory last night on Thursday Night Football. They have a QB who made throws when he needed to, but they relied on the run game a lot. Hey Sean Payton...were you watching? Did you see how well that system works?

31:46 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

9-26-25 Hour 2 - Evan Engram returns to practice/LAY IT DOWN/Chiefs Playoff hopes hang in the balance

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 16:15:34 +0000

0:00 - Evan Engram is practicing with the Broncos again. Will we see him suit up on Monday? When well he become the Joker in Sean Payton's offense we were all promised?

11:34 - Moser's back with the hottest new segment in radio. Do you have some extra cash to spend? Wanna bet on some football? Then Moser will tell you where to LAY IT DOWN!

30:15 - If the Chiefs lose to the Ravens and fall to 1-3, can they still make the playoffs?

9-26-25 Hour 1 - Seahawks winning formula on TNF/Russ catching ALL the strays/FAMILY FEUD

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Seahawks sneaked out? Snuck out? Squeaked out? A win on Thursday Night Football win over the Cardinals last night. They have Sam Darnold at QB. Is he a game-changing gunslinger? No, not at all. But the Seahawks have perfectly built an offense around him that sets him up for success. Can the Broncos and Sean Payton take some notes?

16:59 - Man, Russell Wilson keeps catching ALL the strays. Last night on Thursday Night Football, both Tony Gonzalez and Richard Sherman dunked on Russ during the Amazon pregame show. Tony even said Russ has played his way out of the Hall of Fame! Ripping Russ is so en vogue, and it has been for years now. Why? Why do so many former/current players find it so easy to roast Russ left and right?

32:54 - It's a weird week with the Broncos playing on Monday Night Football. Normally, we'd be making our final predictions right now for Sunday's game. But since we don't have to worry about that, let's do something else. It's time to play FAMILY FEUD! GIMME MOSE! GIMME VIC!

9-25-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/College Football Relegation/Evan Engram's importance (or lack thereof)

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 16:29:59 +0000

0:00 - Why can't the Broncos run the ball more? JK Dobbins is off to a hot start with the few carries he's gotten. Doesn't a strong run game help a struggling QB? Let's ask our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold how he thinks the offense can/should look & get his thoughts on Denver's Monday Night Football matchup vs Cincinnati.

17:20 - Jeremy Bloom proposed a College Football Superconference with the best 50-60 teams split into 2 divisions (or something like that). But the kicker is: the bottom teams get relegated, and smaller programs get to move up. Can we copy the European soccer model in college football? Is that effective?

34:00 - Evan Engram is listed as "questionable" on the injury report again. How important is he to the Broncos offense. Do we even know what his importance is since we haven't seen him much at all yet? Does he have a role?

9-25-25 Hour 2 - Vic's interview with Jeremy Bloom/Chad Brown/Implications of a CFB superconference

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Jeremy Bloom essentially paved the way for NIL a good 20 years before NIL rules actually came around. He was a trailblazer and a pioneer. Vic had the chance to sit down with him recently. Jeremy shared his perspective on the current landscape of college football & proposed some significant changes that would overhaul the entire system.

15:41 - Chad Brown made his weekly appearance with us (he'll now join us Thursday mornings) and shared his thoughts on Jeremy Bloom's proposed changes, college football, and how to "fix" CFB in the Portal/NIL era.

37:38 - If CFB did adopt a 50 or 60 team superconference, how would that affect the smaller schools? Would the little guy benefit in the long run? Or get left behind?

9-25-25 Hour 1 - How will Broncos respond vs Cincy?/Brett's a hypocrite, Raleigh for MVP?/Broncos identity?

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - What do you need to see from the Broncos when they play Cincy on Monday? Of course we want to see a win...how dominant does that win need to be? Does it matter how they win?

20:25 - Cal Raleigh is having an MVP-caliber season. Go Big Dumper! But...it's put Brett into a bind that might turn him into a filthy hypocrite.

34:05 - What's the Broncos' identity on offense? Do they have one yet? What can it be? More importantly, what SHOULD it be?

9-24-25 Hour 3 - Expectations for Deion in Year 3/AFC is very QB-reliant/MPJ thinks Nugs can win without him

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 16:45:12 +0000

0:00 - For what feels like that 10,000th time, Brett attempts to defed his position on Deion Sanders. At a certain point, we have to forget about what happened 3 years ago and focus on what is (or isn't) happening now. He's making $10 million a year! Is it really unfair to expect a few Ws on the schedule?

14:26 - The AFC is a very QB-reliant conference. Look at what happened to the Bengals. They lost Joe Burrow and their season is already done. The good news for the Broncos is...now the AFC isn't as tough. Some of these teams are gettable while they have a backup QB in the lineup.

33:19 - MPJ was asked on a podcast recently if he thinks the Nuggets can still win a championship without him. And he said yes. Absolutely. His answer was the definition of class. Say what you will about that guy, but always put his head down, kept his mouth shut, and went to work no matter what.

9-24-25 Hour 2 - Moser calms us down, best NFL coaches/Pick a Head Coach or Sean Payton/NFL True or False

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 16:28:56 +0000

0:00 - Moser said he can play the role of ultimate calmer downer surrounding the Broncos. After that, a discussion about JJ McCarthy and the Vikings morphs into a debate about the best coaches in the NFL right now.

13:47 - Let's go through the list of all the best head coaches in the NFL. Guys who are generally accepted as top tier. Would you rather have one of them...or Sean Payton? Right now. As it stands today. Which ones would you pick over Payton?

34:26 - It's Wednesday at 8:45am which means it's time for another weekly edition of NFL TRUE OR FALSE!

9-24-25 Hour 1 - Talent in the AFC vs the NFC/The difference between 3-0 & 1-2/Philly Fan is on THE LIST

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 16:20:23 +0000

0:00 - Between the NFC and the AFC, which conference is shaping up to be the tougher one? It's only 3 games, but one's already out to an early lead.

15:13 - The Broncos are sitting at 1-2 after 3 games. But they were SO CLOSE to being 3-0. It's a razor thin margin. If the Broncos were 3-0 right now, how would our conversations be different?

33:58 - Boston Fans are no longer the worst. Laker Fans are no longer the worst. Philadelphia sports fans are officially THE WORST in the Book of Lombardi.

9-23-25 Hour 3 - Year-over-Year progress/Finishing games, Harbaugh's...system?/Broncos will smash Bengals

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 18:10:54 +0000

0:00 - Year over year progress is important for any team and coach. You NEED to see things trending in the right direction. Let's apply that to our local football teams: CU, CSU, Broncos. What's the right yardstick to use for all 3?

12:01 - DMac asked Sean Payton about the importance of learning how to finish games. After that, Jim Harbaugh has a unique, shall we say, system for evaluating player performance.

32:37 - Moser is bullish on the Broncos! He thinks they'll smash the Jake Browning Bengals on Monday Night Football. No question. But Brett and Vic aren't so sure.

9-23-25 Hour 2 - Michael Malone speaks about the breakup/Long, sustained drives/Deion on New Heights Pod

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 16:20:02 +0000

0:00 - Michael Malone chatted with SiriusXM NBA Radio and finally shared some thoughts on his breakup with the Nuggets back in April. How do we feel about Malone? Are we all good with him? Or is he an enemy of the state, similar to (but not the same as) Nolan, Mikko, etc?

17:35 - Long sustained drives that burn clock and result in TDs. The Detriot Lions can execute that style of offense to perfection. The Broncos can't. Vic compares the different offensive styles to coffee makers.

32:36 - Coach Prime chatted with the Kelce Brothers on their New Heights Podcast. He shared his thoughts on some of the Bulljunk (as Prime would say) and rumors about Sheduer telling the Ravens not to draft him.

9-23-25 Hour 1 - Payton not worried about deep balls/Lions provided the blueprint/CU & Ralphie VII beat Wyo

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 16:10:41 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton had his weekly Zoom presser yesterday and was asked my reporters MULTIPLE TIMES about Bo Nix's long ball misses. He said it's not a big deal. It's like 50th on his list of things to worry about. But Brett said he only feels this way because he's defending his golden child.

14:50 - Last night on Monday Night Football, the Lions provided a blueprint for success that the Broncos need to follow. But it seems like they're unwilling or unable to do so. We'll probably never see the Broncos use that plan, even though it works.

33:54 - CU beat Wyoming on Friday night at Folsom Field for one reason and one reason only: Ralphie was BACK baby! Long live Ralphie VII!

9-22-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Breaking down Bo's Flea Flicker miss/Linebackers banged up, some nitpicking

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:25:22 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday was one of the wildest NFL Sundays in a long time. It was full of upsets, blocked kicks, and backup QBs. How did Adam Schefter make sense of it all? He joins us, once again, from the back of a fancy automobile. Make sure to catch Adam every Monday at 9am!

18:16 - The All 22 Coach's film is out, and Brett found one particularly damning angle of Bo Nix's Flea Flicker that just barely sailed past Marvin Mims' hands. He breaks down bit by bit why Bo made several bad decisions on one fateful play.

34:34 - Dre Greenlaw has now been moved to IR, so he'll be out for at least 4 more weeks. Man, that's rough. The Broncos need help in the middle on defense. The Chargers gashed the middle of the field repeatedly yesterday. Then, Brett has some final nitpicking to do with the Broncos loss.

9-22-25 Hour 2 - Too Harsh on Bo Nix?/Around the NFL/In the Groove, an impossible Broncos stat

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:13:30 +0000

0:00 - Are we being too harsh on Bo Nix? Does he deserve the majority of the criticism on this dreary morning in Broncos Country?

15:33 - It was a WILD WILD Week of NFL football! Blocked kicks and upsets galore! Let's go around the league and take a look at it all.

35:19 - Even in the loss...which Broncos players were in the groove yesterday? Plus, Brett has a Broncos stat that seems impossible, but somehow it's true. And it makes the 2 losses this season feel even worse.

9-22-25 Hour 1 - Broncos couldn't finish...AGAIN/Snarky Bo Nix doesn't cut it/No late game execution

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - It's like déjà vu all over again in Broncos Country! They had a chance to win the game, offense couldn't execute down the stretch, and blew it. Stop me if you've seen this movie before!

20:20 - Make no mistake...Bo Nix was the main reason the Broncos lost yesterday. He needed to make throws in key moments and he couldn't get it done. Then, in the postgame press conference, he has the gaul to take a snarky tone?

35:38 - We can dissect the Broncos loss any way we want. But at the end of the day, it all came down to one thing: Late. Game. Execution. On. Offense. That's it! And that all comes back to the QB. Simple as that.

9-19-25 Hour 3 - Brett's hyperbolic Chargers take/Expectations in the Portal Era, LAY IT DOWN!/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 16:36:42 +0000

0:00 - It's essential that the Broncos beat the Chargers on Sunday. The stakes are incredibly high. Why? Is Brett being hyperbolic?

16:40 - We're still navigating the new era of college football with NIL and the transfer portal. Does that change the standard we need to have for established college coaches? Or is the standard still the standard? Next, Moser is back with our new favorite segment: LAY IT DOWN!

33:14 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from thoughout the week, slow em down to half speed & it makes us sound like we're hammered.

9-19-25 Hour 2 - Don't give the Chargers a head start/Reasonable expectations for CSU/Mas O Menos

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 16:29:48 +0000

0:00 - Sunday's game vs the Chargers is essentially a must-win. You HAVE to beat them and keep them in-check in the AFC West. If they beat the Broncos, they'll have a 3-0 record with 3 division wins! That's a huge head start.

14:50 - Jay Norvell is in his 4th year at CSU. They barely beat UNC on a controversial touchdown review, and now they've underdogs to UTSA at home! What are resonable expectations for Coach Norvell and the Rams?

33:09 - It took us like 10 tries to figure out a name for the new segment, but we've got it now. It's time for the second-ever edition of...MAS O MENOS!

9-19-25 Hour 1 - Must-Win Game in Week 3/Do the Chargers still Charger?/CU, CSU, Broncos: who covers?

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 15:55:06 +0000

0:00 - It's only Week 3 of the NFL season...but Brett already believe that Broncos @ Chargers on Sunday is a must-win game.

17:29 - For years, we've said that the Chargers "Charger It." They always find a way to blow it somehow when it matters most. Does that sentiment still apply? Even in the Harbaugh era, do the Chargers still Charger it?

34:04 - Between the Broncos, Buffs, and Rams, who's most likely to cover the spread this weekend? The lines are wild this week. CSU's an underdog at home to UTSA??

9-18-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Pablo Torre drops another Kawhi bomb/Kyle Freeland's message to Rox fans

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 16:24:11 +0000

0:00 - Every Thursday at 9am, we talk to our Broncos Insider: ESPN's Jeff Legwold. What does Jeff think about the Colts loss/Leveraging debacle? What's the latest on Dre Greenlaw's injury?

19:00 - Man, Pablo Torre is RELENTLESS. He's trying to bury Steve Ballmer, Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers organization as a whole, and also Mark Cuban. Because why not? Every day, he drops another damning factoid or nugget because he doesn't want the story to disappear. Adam Silver can't bury this one.

33:01 - Kyle Freeland apologized to Rockies fans and thanked them for sticking with the team through this rough patch. And by "rough patch" I mean the last, like 5 years? But this season in particular. Poor Kyle. He's been here through all the downs and downs. No ups.

9-18-25 Hour 2 - A Saudi Arabian Flag Football Tourney?/Concerned about Greenlaw/Moser vs Frank Seravalli

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Next year, there will be a flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia. Sean Payton will be one of the head coaches, and Tom Brady is coming out of retirement to play in it. Remember when everyone was destroying LIV Golf for taking oil blood money or whatever? Well well well. How the turn tables...

12:51 - Greenlaw is still on the injury report...should we start to get worried about him? Or is this to be expected, considering his injury?

30:46 - Frank Seravalli says the Avs have gone full circle. They're in the same situation with Marty Necas as they were with Mikko Rantanen last year. Turns out, Moser didn't like that take. Surprise surprise.

9-18-25 Hour 1 - Dumb media questions, Petty Payton/Deion's last shot/Is Harbaugh the GOAT?

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 15:55:08 +0000

0:00 - We've got a show to do, but first, let's make fun of dumb questions that our media brethren sometimes ask. After that, Sean Payton is nothing if not petty. He knows that the LA Chargers offloaded Dobbins. You KNOW he's reminding Dobbins of that every single day to use as motivation. Expect Dobbins to get lots of carries on Sunday.

16:15 - Word on the street is Kaidon Salter will get the start for CU on Saturday. Prime is going back to Salter. This feels like one last chance to salvage the season. If they lose to Wyoming with him at the helm, it's time for Prime to punt on the season and develop Julian Lewis.

37:27 - Is Jim Harbaugh the greatest football coach of all time? Colin Cowherd thinks so.

9-17-25 Hour 3 - Great teams bounce back/Mackless Chargers, a dead man's letter/Abe Lincoln inspires Coach

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 16:30:11 +0000

0:00 - As Howie Day once said, "even the best fall down sometimes." But the mark of a great team is how you answer adversity. The Broncos loss a heartbreaker last week. Can the respond with an important divisional win this week?

14:19 - The Chargers won't have Khalil Mack this Sunday. He's out with a dislocated elbow. The Broncos need to capitalize on that opportunity.
Also, the Brewers just clinched a playoff spot. Brewers Manager Pat Murphy wrote a letter congratulating the team from the perspective of Bob Uecker...who passed away earlier this year. He wrote the letter as if Uecker was penning it from heaven. Is that cool, fun, and inspiring? Or is that weird?

34:17 - Coach Sanford had ChatGPT write an inspiring speech to pump up his Valor Christian Eagles from the perspective of Abraham Lincoln. And it was pretty damn good. Strap in, folks. This is the new AI-driven world we're living in.

9-17-25 Hour 2 - Chargers = measuring stick game/When to take accountability/NFL True or False

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - Sunday's game vs. the Chargers will be a big measuring stick game for the Broncos. It's time to prove you can bounce back from a loss and win a division game. How can the Broncos do that? What does a win over the Chargers look like?

17:02 - When is it a coach's responsibility to fall on the proverbial sword? Sean Payton took the blame for last Sunday's field goal/leverage debacle, but was it really his fault? Did he need to take accountability for that?

32:38 - It's a Wednesday at 8:45am, so without further ado, let's get to another edition of NFL True or False!

9-17-25 Hour 1 - The "R" Word: Respond/CU lacks a QB & an identity/An Update on NFL Genetics

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Coach Sanford is in for Moser today! It's time for the Broncos to RESPOND. You lost a heartbreaking game vs Indy. So what? Let's move onto the next one. Good teams don't lose 2 games in a row. How will you respond to the loss?

14:01 - CU still lacks a starting QB and an identity overall as a team. Yesterday, Deion did what he does best and quibbled with reporters! He poses the question: what IS an identity? Why do you need one?

33:48 - Vic's biggest enemy in this world: GENETICS! Brett has an update on genetics and how it pertains to the NFL this season.

9-16-25 Hour 3 - Broncos are good, not great/Can Bo become Baker?/Schefter on a Tush Push ban

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:25:20 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos are a good team, clearly. But they're not GREAT quite yet. What defines a "great" team? How can the Broncos get there?

12:43 - Baker Mayfield balled OUT yesterday on Monday Night Football and led the Bucs to a thrilling comeback. Vic posed the question earlier today: can Bo Nix become Baker Mayfield? Can he emulate his style of play?

34:19 - Adam Schefter joined our show yesterday, as he does every Monday, and made it seem like the Tush Push will be banned this offseason. Are we a fan of this?

9-16-25 Hour 2 - The 0-2 Chiefs are Mortal/Chargers are the AFC West threat/The Big 12 doesn't look good

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - The Chiefs are 0-2 and they look mortal. I know we said that last year, but they actually look mortal for real this time. Probably for the first time in the Mahomes/Kelce era.

14:54 - If the Chiefs are on the downswing, the Chargers look like they're on the upswing. Are the Chargers the biggest threat to the Broncos in the AFC West? Can the Broncos compete with them? How does Denver stack up in the AFC as a whole?

33:23 - The latest AP Poll Top 25 came out and Brett's main takeaway? The Big 12 doesn't look too good right now, CU most DEFINITELY included.

9-16-25 Hour 1 - Payton takes the leveraging blame/Why not start Juju?/Broncos positives from the loss?

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton took the blame for the leveraging penalty FG debacle that cost the Broncos the game. That's admirable of him, but was it really his fault? Why would he fall on the sword for his special teams coordinator?

15:57 - Deion Sanders still doesn't have a good answer at QB. Should he keep rolling with Ryan "Martin Luther Staub" Staub? Or...Brett has a different idea. CU's already 1-2 and struggling to find their footing. If Juju Lewis is truly the QB of the future, why not make him the permanent starter and let him learn/develop EVEN IF it essentially means punting on the season?

34:16 - We've focused a lot on the negatives from Denver's loss to Indy, but let's dig deeper into the positives! What went well for the Broncos?

Adam Schefter says Denver's loss was self-inflicted wounds FAR beyond Leveraging

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:09:31 +0000

ESPN's Adam Schefter joined us to break down Denver's gut-wrenching loss to Indy. And maybe...just maybe...he can explain what the heck Leverage is? We shall see.

9-15-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Learn to close out games!/Angry coach, weird coach, Fact Checker

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:39:32 +0000

0:00 - ESPN's Adam Schefter joined us to break down Denver's gut-wrenching loss to Indy. And maybe...just maybe...he can explain what the heck Leverage is? We shall see.

21:47 - The Broncos have to learn to CLOSE OUT GAMES. Next week, they play the Chargers on the road. If you give Herbert and Harbaugh an inch, they'll take a mile. Don't give them anything. Execute down the stretch!

33:03 - One coach was particularly angry and fiesty with the media over the weekend...after a win. Also, UCLA just fired their head football coach after an 0-3 start. We should've seen the signs. The internet dug up a very strange clip from his introductory press conference a few years ago. And finally, Vic claims his impression of someone was spot on. Let's investigate.

9-15-25 Hour 2 - Leveraging call is arbitrary/Around the NFL/Broncos in the groove, Where's Prime's Louis?

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:26:48 +0000

0:00 - That leveraging penalty call on the Broncos felt so arbitrary. Look at every FG attempt. Someone's always putting their hands on someone else! Why call the penalty in that moment? It's like holding. You could absolutely call holding on every single play if you wanted to.

14:53 - It's Monday at 8:20am, so let's take a look Around the NFL!

32:19 - Which Broncos players are In the Groove right now? It wasn't all doom and gloom yesterday! There were plenty of bright spots. After that, CU lost to a very beatable Houston team. But a good amount. So it begs the question...where's Coach Prime's Louis? He said he was bringing it. Really? Where's the talent on this roster?

9-15-25 Hour 1 - Broncos collapse down the stretch/Offense looked good, defense was bad/What does CU do well?

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:18:00 +0000

0:00 - Late. Game. Execution. The Broncos had every chance to win yesterday and they made mistakes at every turn. Everyone will point to the last play and the friggin Leverage penalty, but that was the tip of the iceberg.

15:39 - Yesterday's game was the opposite of what you'd expect. The Broncos offense actually looked good INCLUDING the run game! And the Broncos defense got cooked by Danny Freakin' Dimes. What a strange backwards day.

33:15 - After CU's disappointing loss to Houston on Friday, Brett has an interesting question...what does CU do well?

9-12-25 Hour 3 - Nervous about Broncos vs Colts?/College fight songs, Chiefs start 0-2?/Lay it Down!, DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 16:19:51 +0000

0:00 - Moser, once again, is nervous for the Broncos game on Sunday. Why is he nervous? Are his nerves legit?

15:58 - All college fight songs are basically the same. Hot take? Also, will the Chiefs lose to the Eagles this weekend and start 0-2? If so, does that make the AFC West even more "gettable" for the Broncos? How big of a threat are the Chargers?

35:24 - Moser debuted a new segment today and it actually...was awesome! After that, it's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAAKES!

9-12-25 Hour 2 - More or Less? Morer or Fewer?/Chad Brown/One last chance to run the ball

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 16:00:10 +0000

0:00 - Brett has a new game show! But we can't decide what it should be called grammatically.

14:13 - Chad Brown will join us every Friday at 8:30am during football season. What does Chad think of CU's weird 3-QB soap opera/carousel? How does he think Neon Deion should handle the situation?

33:18 - Brett's notorious for holding on hope for wayyyyy too long. He's giving Sean Payton ONE LAST CHANCE to run the ball. If they don't commit to running it on Sunday? He's done. He's giving up.

9-12-25 Hour 1 - Broncos need to play CLEAN/Positive signs on the injury report/The CU 3-QB Carousel

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos played a gross dirty game against the Titans and won somehow. The key to victory over the Colts? Play a CLEAN game and you should win easily.

14:35 - There's some hope on the Broncos injury report! That's a good sign.

34:27 - CU takes on Houston tonight. What's Prime's plan for the QBs? Does Stauber get the start? How short is his leash? If Staub falters, who comes in next? How short is their leash? And so on and so forth.

9-11-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Broncos Offense vs Colts Defense, Kawhi's Tree Deal/15-min standing ovation

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:26:33 +0000

0:00 - How will the Broncos defense stack up against Danny Dimes 2.0? Can the Colts defense shut down Bo Nix just like they shut down Tua and the Dolphins? Let's see what our ESPN Broncos Insider has to say about Sunday's matchup.

17:48 - Let's dig deeper into the Broncos offense vs Colts defense. What do the numbers suggest? Also, Pablo Torre added another wrinkle to this weird Kawhi Leonard Tree...Clippers...no show job...endorsement...cap circumventing debacle.

34:54 - Supposedly, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is headed for an Oscar with his new movie "The Smashing Machine." At its premiere, the film received a 15-minute standing ovation. Let me say that again. The movie premiered. It wrapped up. Then, the theater stood and CLAPPED FOR 15 CONSECUTIVE MINUTES. That's unfathomable. Brett asked the question: is there anything in this life that you'd spend 15 minutes applauding?

9-11-25 Hour 2 - Good & bad Broncos injury news/Sean Payton admits fault/Can Kyle Shanahan do the impossible?

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 16:10:00 +0000

0:00 - On the Broncos injury front, we have some good updates and we have some bad updates. How do they affect the team on Sunday/long term going forward?

15:59 - Sean Payton admitted that his playcalling was part of Denver's struggles on Sunday vs the Titans. Why would he admit this? Usually Sean Payton isn't the type of person to take accountability.

32:15 - Kyle Shanahan has pulled a rabbit out of his hat time and time again. He's made something out of nothing more times than we can count. But the question is...can he do it AGAIN?

9-11-25 Hour 1 - Sean Payton takes accountability/Bob Kravitz/NBA is a "highlights league," says Silver

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Sean Payton took some accountability for his bad playcalling in the game vs the Titans. That's rare! Good for Sean.

15:36 - Our old friend Bob Kravitz returned to the program to discuss the Colts and Danny Dimes 2.0. Thankfully, Vic didn't scare him away the last time we had him on 3 years ago.

34:44 - Adam Silver was recently asked about the rising cost of streaming services and how difficult it is for everyday fans to watch/find NBA games on a nightly basis. He said that the NBA is a highlights league, and that highlights are easy to find online for free. That's an insane thing to say from a league's commissioner.

9-10-25 Hour 3 - New stadium's coolest feature/Coach Prime smoke screen?/NBA Europe picking up steam

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 16:25:13 +0000

0:00 - Broncos Ownership announced their plans for a brand new stadium in Burnham Yard. The Broncos are staying in Denver where they belong! What's the coolest feature of the new stadium project?

15:42 - Yesterday during his presser, Deion dodged a few questions about the QB situation. He quibbled. He deflected. He avoided! Why did he do that? Is that just who he is? Or was he trying to save face with his 3 QBs and juggle a delicate situation?

32:37 - According to Vic, NBA Europe is picking up steam. Basketball is enormously popular around the globe, and the NBA wants a piece of the pie. But, why would European fans of European basketball clubs jump ship to a new NBA Euro team?

9-10-25 Hour 2 - Vic's Brother on the new Broncos stadium/New-look Daniel Jones/NFL True or False

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Vic's brother Adelio Lombardi joined us LIVE from the Motherland in Italia! His business is located right near Burnham Yard where the new Broncos stadium will be built. Adelio is super on board with the new stadium/redevelopment plan because of how it will improve the neighborhood as a whole.

13:12 - Daniel Jones looked like a new man in his first game with the Colts. Will he pose a problem for the ironclad Broncos defense?

31:56 - It's a Wednesday at 8:45am, so it's time for another weekly edition of NFL True or False!

9-10-25 Hour 1 - Broncos announce new stadium/Broncos would you rather?/Prime lectures the media AGAIN

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 15:55:08 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, the Walton-Penner Ownership group announced their plans to build a new Broncos Stadium in Burnham Yard, as we/Vic suspected. The stadium will have a retractable roof, it'll be privately funded, and it won't raise taxes. This is a SLAM DUNK move by ownership, across the board.

14:30 - Brett has a good Broncos-themed Would You Rather question.
On Sunday vs the Colts...If Brett could guarantee you one thing: Bo Nix plays well, or the team runs the ball really well, which one would you take?

33:14 - What does Deion Sanders love more than the limelight? Lecturing the media. Everyone strap in! It's time for Prime to start quibbling with the media in Boulder again! Today's topic: the team not having a bonafide starting QB (as of now).

9-09-25 Hour 3 - Positivity about Broncos game/CU's 3-QB game plan/I Can't Believe It's Not Sproles

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 16:15:26 +0000

0:00 - We've been focusing on the negative aspects of Sunday's Broncos win. But how about some positivity? What DID we like?

20:00 - Ryan "Martin Luther Staub" Staub will start at QB for the Buffs this Saturday in Houston. What's the ultimate game plan for the QB position? What if Stauber struggles? Do you go to Salter? Do you give Lewis a shot? Do you let Staub struggle and figure it out?

33:41 - The Broncos have signed a player we're calling "I Can't Believe It's Not Sproles." Also, Fact Checker was fruitful today! Moser created a brand new word.

9-09-25 Hour 2 - No Broncos Running Game Identity/Staub gets the start/Broncos Risk vs Reward

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos run game showed a few tiny little glimmers. But it wasn't enough repeated success to give us confidence. The main problem is: the run game lacks an overall identity.

16:42 - It's official: Ryan Staub will start at QB for the Buffaloes against Houston this weekend. What's next for Salter and Lewis?

34:01 - The Broncos took a risk this offseason by signing some injury-prone players. But the potential reward is worth the risk.

9-09-25 Hour 1 - We're using a growth meter!/Lindahl is POd about the RPO/Aaron Rodgers' breakup with the Jets

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Vic's back today, and guess what SEAN: we're gonna use a damn GROWTH METER if we want to! Vic didn't have a chance to react to Sunday's Broncos win, so let's get his overall thoughts today. How's he feeling on an overreaction Tuesday?

15:03 - Run the damn ball! It's a phrase we've been saying for ages here in Broncos Country. RPO plays don't count. Skip the PO and go straight to the R. Yesterday, when discussing the aforementioned RPOs, Andy Lindahl came unglued in vintage Angry Andy fashion.

35:01 - Aaron Rodgers is bitter about his breakup with the Jets and was happy to beat them. But here's the thing...why?

9-08-25 Hour 3 - Adam Schefter/Sean Payton's stupefying decision/Best play of the game?

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 16:30:33 +0000

0:00 - Live from the back of a limo(?), ESPN's Adam Schefter made his weekly apperance with us after a truly wild NFL Weekend, culminating in Buffalo's thrilling comeback against the Ravens last night.
Programming note: Schefty will join us at 9:00am MT on MONDAYS from here on out.

15:28 - 4th and 8...Broncos in field goal range...chance to ice the game, essentially...and Sean Payton calls some weird deep pass play? What on earth was that??

32:53 - What was the best play of the Broncos vs Titans game?

9-08-25 Hour 2 - Defense soared, Offense sputtered/Around the NFL/Bad News Lions, Weird Wins for CU & CSU

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Everyone will spend today ripping the Broncos offense, and rightfully so. But let's not forget how stellar the defense looked yesterday, especially in the 2nd half!

15:10 - Every Tuesday, we take a look around the Wide Wide World of the NFL & the football weekend that was.

32:59 - Brett's Lions suck again. I guess that's what happens when you lose your offensive and defensive coordinators in the same dang offseason. After that, what was more shocking: CU's weird 3-QB rotating system & struggles against Delaware, or CSU going down to the wire vs UNC?

9-08-25 Hour 1 An UGLY Broncos win/Head-scratching coaching decisions/Nasty wins for CU & CSU

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Man, that was an UGLY win by the Broncos. It's still a win, but we don't feel great about it. Let's sift through the good, the bad, and the ugly from yesterday's game vs the Titans.

15:14 - Both Brian Callahan and Sean Payton made some MIND-NUMBINGLY BAD coaching decisions. While trying to explain one of those horrible decision, Sean Payton gave us a classic case of Coach Speak Word Salad.

33:36 - Speaking of ugly wins, how about CU and CSU? CU needed a revolving door of 3 QBs to beat...Delaware? CSU needed the Football Gods to take a UNC TD off the board after a long review in order to sneak out a 4 point win. Yikes.

9-05-25 Hour 3 - What have we overlooked about the Titans?/Broncos need some juice!/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 16:23:24 +0000

0:00 - Everyone's acting like the Broncos have a 110% chance of beating the Titans. Is there anything we've overlooked? What should we be worried about?

16:05 - Broncos need to show some JUICE on Sunday, man! The re-vamped RB room needs to RUN THE BALL! Bo's gotta huck some deep balls to his boi Troy Franklin. LET'S GO!

32:39 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from thoughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

9-05-25 Hour 2 - How much will Juju Lewis play tomorrow?/Cam Ward's upside, Chad Brown/RUN THE BALL on Sunday

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Coach Prime said we'll see Juju Lewis in the mix soon. How much will he play vs Delaware on Saturday? How should CU balance Salter and Lewis in the portal era?

13:53 - Cam Ward might have a breakout year! He was great at Miami and played his way to the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft! What's his upside? Next, Chad Brown joins us (live from a train to the airport) to offer his insight into CU's QB situation.

32:46 - What do we need to see from the Broncos offense on Sunday? It's pretty simple. RUN THE DAMN BALL! Last night, Javonte Williams looked like his old self against the Cowboys. Why couldn't Sean Payton work with him here? Now that Payton has his pick of RBs, the run game needs to be improved this year. Period.

9-05-25 Hour 1 - A Chippy & Spitty NFL Debut/What the Titans did well/RedZone is still dead to us

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The 2025 NFL season kicked off last night with a bang!...and a spit? What a weird, chippy battle between the Cowboys and Eagles in Philadelphia.

15:40 - Looking ahead to the Broncos vs Titans this weekend - Moser found a stat that suggests that the Titans actually did something well last year, if you can believe it! Are we concerned about this game at all? Has our feeling changed throughout the week?

33:02 - Turns out, NFL RedZone won't have THAT many ads. It's gonna be a tiny fraction of the broadcast. But guess what? We don't care. It's about the principle of it all. RedZone should be ad-free. Period.

9-04-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Carmelo didn't accept Vic's olive branch/We LOVE the Bonitto deal

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 16:27:50 +0000

0:00 - Earlier this morning, the news broke that Nik Bonitto has signed a shiny new contract extension with the Broncos. Now, let's talk to someone who knows way more than us about the Broncos, Bonitto, and contract extensions: ESPN's Jeff Legwold, our Broncos Insider.

19:20 - Vic offered Carmelo Anthony an olive branch on behalf of Nuggets fans, and Melo didn't take it. Strap in, everyone. Here comes another good ol' fashioned Moser rant about Melo.

32:29 - We love the new deal for Nik Bonitto. Everything about it is perfect: the price, the terms, the incentives, you name it.

9-04-25 Hour 2 - Moser's Beef with Brett/Nik Bonitto signs an extension/Paton understands a player's worth

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 16:17:50 +0000

0:00 - Moser has some serious BEEF with Brett's Power Rankings with Tiers. What did Kaner get wrong?

16:06 - The news broke during our commercial break: Nik Bonitto signed an extension with the Broncos! He's staying in Denver. Yet another slam dunk from the Broncos ownership.

32:05 - George Paton has become a mastermind at understanding a player's true value/worth. The Bonitto extension is yet another example.

9-04-25 Hour 1 - RIP commercial-free football, Greenlaw's injury/Barnwell's doubts/CFB coach beef

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - It's official: RedZone will have commercials. RIP 7 hours of commercial-free football. We'll miss you. But more importantly THE NFL IS BACK TONIGHT BABY WOOOOOOOOOOO! We're days away from Broncos football coming back. There's only one big concern in Broncos Country: what's going on with Dre Greenlaw? Is he healthy or not?

19:40 - Bill Barnwell wrote an article predicting the entire NFL Playoff Picture, and he has the Broncos missing the playoffs. We touched on the article yesterday, but let's dig deeper into Bill's reasoning.

33:11 - It's only week 2 of the college football season...and we already have multiple coaches beefin' with each other! That didn't take long.

9-03-25 Hour 3 - Deion's Clock Mis-Management/Brees Believes in Bo/NHL schedule changes, angry Bama caller

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 16:35:50 +0000

0:00 - Deion dug in his heels and defended his clock mismanagement at the end of CU vs Georgia Tech. It's Year 3 for Deion Sanders at CU and he's still figuring out some of the intricacies of coaching. Does the bar need to be set higher for him?

16:04 - Drew Brees recently said he believes in Bo Nix's ability to grow and develop within Sean Payton's offense. If Drew Bo-lieves...and Sean Bo-lieves...and Kay Adam Bo-lieves...and every member of the mainstream media (except Nick Wright/wrong) Bo-lieves... that's probably a pretty good sign.

32:54 - The NHL is tweaking their schedule/season even more starting with the 2026-2027 season. Also, notorious Bama fan Legend called back into Paul Finebaum's show to rip Kalen DeBoer a new one in another signature rant.

9-03-25 Hour 2 - Nepotism or Not?/Broncos Depth Chart Takeaways, Cautious about the Hype/NFL True or False

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 16:20:16 +0000

0:00 - We've seen plenty of examples of "Nepotism" in sports. You see people throw that word around all the time. Does it apply to Arch Manning after Saturday's lackluster performance?

14:10 - The next Broncos unofficial depth chart is out. Any surprises? Does it offer any insight into Sean's master plan? After that, the Broncos Hype Train is officially out of control. Moser gets more and more suspicious the more and more people believe in the Broncos.

33:03 - It's Wednesday at 8:45am which means it's time for another weekly edition of NFL TRUE OR FALSE!

9-03-25 Hour 1 - Unofficial Broncos Depth Chart/Deion doubles down/Barnwell says Broncos miss playoffs?

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos released an updated unofficial depth chart, and Brett says there are 3 things "of note" on the list.

14:23 - Deion addressed the media yesterday and he doubled? Tripled? Quadrupled down? On the clock management issues that doomed them against Georgia Tech on Friday. Making mistakes as a coach is excusable. It happens! What's inexcusable is standing by those mistakes and defending them.

33:23 - Bill Barnwell wrote an article predicting every NFL playoff team. Who makes the cut? No the Broncos. They're not in his list of playoff teams. How does that happen? How do the Broncos miss the playoffs?

Adam Schefter makes his Broncos win total over/under prediction

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 17:14:26 +0000

Last week, Adam Schefter said he'd make Broncos win over/under prediction. Today, he made good on that promise. Is he hammering the over again? Or is he predicting a backward slide?

9-02-25 Hour 3 - Too harsh towards CU?/LeBron's cringe Nike ad, taking CU's pulse/Belichick's girl on sideline

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 17:11:20 +0000

0:00 - Are we being too harsh or unfair towards CU? Are we ignoring bright spots from the loss? One listener thinks so. We think we're being fair!

15:15 - LeBron starred in a new Nike ad and it's...something. He certainly has an inflated opinion of himself. Also, Brett isn't concerned about the CU loss. It won't affect their shot at a Big 12 title. Overall, how do we feel about CU as a whole?

35:08 - Last night, Bill Belichick's girlfriend was on the sideline talking to him DURING THE GAME. That's WILD. Think about it...how many times have you seen someone's wife talking to them ON THE SIDELINE DURING A GAME??

9-02-25 Hour 2 - Adam Schefter/When the CU game was lost/Is "Bama" as we know it finally dead?

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 17:02:18 +0000

0:00 - Last week, Adam Schefter said he'd make Broncos win over/under prediction. Today, he made good on that promise. Is he hammering the over again? Or is he predicting a backward slide?

18:22 - When did CU lose their game on Friday? What was the final nail in the coffin?

31:57 - Bama lost to unranked Florida State on Saturday. Yikes. Is "Bama" as we've known it for years finally dead? The DeBoer Era has been rocky, to put it mildly.

9-02-25 Hour 1 - What went wrong for CU?/Around the CFB World/Ramping up to Broncos vs Titans

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 15:57:41 +0000

0:00 - CU couldn't complete the comeback at Folsom and they fell to Georgia Tech on Friday. Where did it go wrong for the Buffs and Deion?

15:53 - What an entertaining weekend of college football! What were the highlights and lowlights?

34:41 - We're ramping up to Broncos vs Titans on Sunday! Week 1 NFL action baby! What should we expect from that clash? The Broncos SHOULD steamroll them...right?

8-29-25 Hour 3 - Chad Brown/College football pettiness, Rough year for Dallas fans/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 16:21:56 +0000

0:00 - CU Football returns to Folsom Field tonight! Year 3 for Coach Prime. How does Buffs legend Chad Brown expect the team to look this year? Even though it's impossible to predict because we have no idea who's on the roster in the portal era...let's make Chad take an educated guess.

19:57 - Don't ya just love being super petty sometimes? Brett has a great example of pettiness in the college football world. After that, can you believe the city of Dallas lost both Luka Doncic and Micah Parsons in the same year? In a span of like 7 months? Sheesh. Tough break.

34:22 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAAKES. We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed & it makes us sound like we're hammered.

8-29-25 Hour 2 - What should CU football be?/Prime needs to win/So much football this weekend

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 16:14:11 +0000

0:00 - We have no idea what CU will look like this year because of all the turnover. That aside, what SHOULD they be this year? Brett says the need to contend for a Big 12 Championship. They need to be in the mix in November.

15:14 - Coach Prime has already done SO MUCH for CU and the city of Boulder. He's brought in gazillions of dollars across the board. Applications to the university are through the roof. All the national eyeballs are on CU. No one's disputing that. But at the end of the day, Brett says Prime needs to win ballgames. That's the goal of any head coach. Period.
After that, Vic's mind has changed about carrying cash. Also, there's an insane amount of pressure on Arch Manning. Thankfully, he has a good support system around him.

31:18 - Between last night and the upcoming holiday weekend, there's so much football back in our lives. And it's awesome. We're gonna consume all of it, baby.

8-29-25 Hour 1 - Micah Parsons traded/How Parsons affects Nik Bonitto/Vic's announcement, CFB last night

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 16:04:29 +0000

0:00 - The unthinkable happened. Micah "Michael Parson" Parsons will no longer suit up for the Dallas Cowboys. Jerruh TRADED him to the Packers?? Really?

14:38 - How will the Micah Parsons trade affect Nik Bonitto? Will it help him or hurt him?

34:26 - Vic has some important news he needs to share with everyone. Next, Brett sat down and watched real college football on a Thursday night! Some of it was entertaining, and some of it was pretty flippin boring.

8-28-25 Hour 3 - Practice squad deep in the trenches/Jeff Legwold/CFB players should be paid for playoffs

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 16:47:38 +0000

0:00 - Look how the Broncos practice squad is filled out. It tells you which position groups Sean Payton values and where he wants depth. The squad is loaded with offensive linemen and interior defensive linemen. Payton wants to be stacked in the trenches.

13:46 - Jeff Legwold attended the, now infamous, George Paton conference call on Zoom. The one that Vic Lombardi unintentionally interrupted (through no fault of his own). Did Jeff hear Vic's celeb shot? Also, we should maybe ask Leggy some real football questions.

30:56 - Deion had an interesting idea. He said that players who make the College Football Playoff should be paid for making the tournament, receive bonuses for how long they last, and there should be prize money for the winner. Of all the wild uses of NIL...this one actually makes the most sense.

8-28-25 Hour 2 - What Payton likes in RBs/COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN/A hot mic mishap

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 16:35:55 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton wants his RBs to have specific qualities. Estime didn't have them. RJ Harvey is working on it. JK Dobbins has them. He's slot into Payton's offense perfectly if he can stay healthy.

15:33 - It's been an age-old tradition on the Appetizer Hour. But today, let's bring it to the Morning Show, baby. It's the Moser, Lombardi and Kane debut of COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN!

32:54 - Everyone loves a hot mic incident! We had one today. Vic unknowingly bombed George Paton's conference call with reporters, and it wasn't Vic's fault.

8-28-25 Hour 1 - Payton's practice squad word salad/Moser's cautious optimism/Norvell in Year 4 at CSU

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 16:27:49 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton spoke about his methodology for filling out the practice squad, and it was a bit tough to understand. Let's pick through his word salad one bit at a time and figure out what he's saying.

14:40 - Yesterday, Moser was cautiously optimistic about the Broncos. He wants to jump on the hype train, but he's hesitant to do so. Why? Let's dig deeper into his trepidations.

34:24 - Jay Norvell is entering his 4th year as the Head Coach of CSU Football. Every year, they've gotten slightly better. They've improved bit by bit in every season. Is this the year when they take a huge leap? Maybe sniff double digit wins?

8-27-25 Hour 3 - Avs national TV schedule/Biggest Sports Headline of the Day/Ehlinger on practice squad

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 16:28:43 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche released their national TV schedule today. 17 total games across ESPN, ABC, and TNT. For what it's worth, you can always find every single Avalanche game right here on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 (regardless of which TV channel has it).

20:13 - Let's get back to the BIGGEST SPORTS HEADLINE OF THE DAY! It's absolutely the most important sports story across the vast, sprawling, wide wide world of sports.

33:03 - Sam Ehlinger was released by the Broncos, then signed to the practice squad. All this cut vs waived vs released vs signed to the practice squad stuff is confusing. Makes our heads spin. We need a Jake Coyne equivalent to explain NFL roster gynamstics.

8-27-25 Hour 2 - Cautious Broncos optimism/Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb/Strengths & Weaknesses

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 16:18:11 +0000

0:00 - There's SO much hype around the Broncos right now, and Moser's starting to worry about it a bit. Will this season meet expectations? Will the sequel live up to the original? What are some of the worst sequels in TV/movie history?

15:26 - Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb recently wrote an Op-Ed for Denver Westword about the (alleged) location of the new Broncos stadium. He vehemently argued that the stadium needs to stay in Denver proper. Today, we had Mayor Webb on the show to dig deeper into his stance.

33:00 - Now that the Broncos 53-man roster is set, what are their biggest strengths & weaknesses?

8-27-25 Hour 1 - Final 53-man roster set/Ralphie VI sent out to pasture/Swift & Kelce are engaged!!!1!1!

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos 53-man roster is finally set! Did any cuts surprise us?

15:51 - And now her watch is ended. CU announced yesterday that Ralphie VI (aka Ember) is being relieved of her running duties because, well...she doesn't like running. Never has. A lot of CU fans are being whipped into a frenzy over this animal, and Brett doesn't get it.

33:08 - Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift got engaged yesterday. Congrats to the happy couple! But why is every single sports publication releasing 1000 articles about it? What's the deal with the Swift obsession? Stop me if you've heard this before...Brett doesn't get it.
More importantly, have you seen Travis Kelce's old tweets? The internet is having a field day.

Adam Schefter is BACK for another NFL season

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 16:30:07 +0000

He had SO much fun answering our stupid questions last year & he's back for another season full of even stupider questions. Adam Schefter will join us every Tuesday morning @ 9am through the 2026-2026 NFL sesaon!

8-26-25 Hour 3 - Return of Adam Schefter/Most interesting roster move/Baseball trivia, no surprising cuts

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 16:10:57 +0000

0:00 - He's BACK folks. Adam Schefter returns for another year of providing excellent NFL insight and analysis. And more importantly, fielding our stupid questions.

16:15 - What's the most interesting roster move the Broncos have made so far? What is Vic keeping his eyes on as the roster continues to shrink down?

34:03 - Brett knocked a tough baseball trivia question out of the park. Also, have there been any surprising Broncos roster cuts yet?

8-26-25 Hour 2 - Broncos roster shaping up/Russ, Flacco, Rodgers - who succeeds?/Big Dumper's monster year

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:59:51 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos have made about 20 cuts now. The roster is starting to come into focus.

14:51 - Aaron Gordon said he wants to shoot more 3s this year. But should he? Is that a viable strategy? Next, the Buccs cut Desmond Watson because of issues with his weight...okay...? Why'd you draft a 450lb guy then cut him because he's too big. After that, Brett has an interesting question. Which backup QB reclamation project is most likely to succeed in their new home: Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson, or Aaron Rodgers?

33:14 - Cal Raleigh is having a MONSTER historic year. He's putting that titular Big Dumper to work and smashing home runs left and right. Where does his season rank amongst all-time great catchers?

8-26-25 Hour 1 - Adios Audric Estime, squash & a putter/Backup QB carousel/Setting the standard for CU

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos waived Audric Estime yesterday. The writing was on the wall. It has been since the playoffs last year. Also, this segment goes weirdly off the rails because of a squash and a putter. But what else is new?

17:02 - The backup QB carousel spins and spins every year! Brett doesn't understand how it works. At all. How do teams assess the trade value/on-field value of a backup QB?

33:40 - What's a realistic standard to set for CU football this year? What should we expect from Prime's squad without Travis and Shedeur? How important is the result of Game 1 vs Georgia Tech this weekend?

8-25-25 Hour 3 - Broncos avoiding the injury bug/Most blunt walk-off interview ever/No one listens to Brett

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 16:34:40 +0000

0:00 - For the most part, the Broncos have avoided the injury bug during the preseason. They've lost a few players, but no key first stringers **fingers crossed** It's all luck of the draw, and it's so important.

16:41 - Marlin Pitcher Tyler Phillips did a postgame interview with Marlins Radio Network over the weekend, and it's maybe the most blunt walk-off interview of all time.

34:46 - Vic doesn't listen to Brett anymore. His voice just doesn't do it for Vic anymore. Does ANYONE listen to Brett??

8-25-25 Hour 2 - Broncos trade pieces/Avs Alumni game looked like old times/Who's in the groove?

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 16:23:48 +0000

0:00 - Which positions groups are deepest on this Broncos roster? Are there some guys who the Broncos can trade away for a good haul in return? Some fringe roster guys who will be starters elsewhere?

14:51 - The Avalanche vs DU Alumni game went down this weekend, and oh MAN it reminded us of the good ol' days. Peter Forsberg fed Milan Hejduk for a goal and it was hockey poetry.

32:44 - Which Broncos players are in the groove right now heading into the regular season?

8-25-25 Hour 1 - NFL preseason wraps up/Any Broncos concerns?, Shedeur struggles/College football is back

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos wrapped up the preseason with a 3rd dub! What are our takeaways now that the preseason is in the books?

15:24 - Even though the Broncos went undefeated in preseason, do we still have any concerns about this team? Also, Shedeur Sanders had a rough outing in Cleveland on Saturday. The dialogue surrounding Shedeur is beyond toxic. It's polarizing to the max. It's unhinged. It's confirmation bias at its worst...or best, I suppose.

33:59 - College football is BACK, baby! What a nasty, sloppy, rainy, gross game of pigskin played across the pond in Ireland. Ultimately, the game was just one big ad campaign for an airline with a...questionable name.

8-22-25 Hour 3 - College football is 25 hours away!/Jerry Jones is actin' up again/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:12:40 +0000

0:00 - (At the time of recording) COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS 25 HOURS AWAY! 10am Saturday monring, baby. Kansas St and Iowa St are duking it out across the pond in Dublin, Ireland. We're so ready. Inject Week 0 directly into our veins.

15:20 - Jerry Jones is acting up again! He went on Michael Irvin's podcast and said some insane stuff about the stalled contract negotiations with Micah Parsons. Brett asked a great question: can you imagine any of the Broncos Brass doing that? When have you heard anything about George Paton's wheeling and dealings while they're happening?

32:48 - It's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAAAKES. We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed & it makes us sound like we're hammered.

8-22-25 Hour 2 - John-Michael Liles chimes in/Peter Forsberg joins the show/More Broncos trades coming?

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - We're live at Meadow Hills for the Altitude charity golf tournament in conjunction with the Avalanche. That means we have former Avs galore swarming the course! JML left his wine cave to join us and preview the Avalanche alumni game this weekend.

14:21 - Speaking of former Avs...Peter Forsberg, one of the greatest Avs of all time, sat down with us. He told us how his body's feeling, how much he pays attention to the current NHL, and if he's ready to play in the Avalanche alumni game this weekend.

32:38 - The Broncos aren't done, right? There are probably more trades incoming. Who will they target next?

8-22-25 Hour 1- Payton on Vele trade/Starters in final preseason game?/Jerry Jones goes full Jerruh again

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton spoke to the media yesterday, and he explained how/why the Vele trade went down the way it did.

15:43 - Payton said the starters will play in the final preseason game tomorrow, but they'll be on a strict pitch count. What do you need to see from them? If the starters don't look good, will it change your mind about anything?

34:33 - Jerry Jones doesn't know how to construct a winning football team. But you know what he DOES know how to do? Give us soundbite gold day in and day out. He went on Michael Irvin's podcast and dropped some audio paydirt while discussing the Micah Parsons contract negotiation hangups.

8-21-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Moser tries to backtrack on his take/Foul-mouthed head coaches

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 16:50:05 +0000

0:00 - After the Devaughn Vele trade, what's next for the Broncos? What are the implications of the trade? Let's ask our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold.

14:42 - Is Moser trying to backtrack on a take he had on Monday? Is he leaning into revisionist history? Let's roll the tape and find out!

33:11 - Who are/were some of the most foul-mouthed head coaches in sports history?

8-21-25 Hour 2 - Avs sign Victor Olofsson/Arguing for the opposite side, Conor McGahey/McGahey on Olofsson

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 16:21:56 +0000

0:00 - The Avalanche signed former Sabres & Golden Knights forward Victor Olofsson. What can he bring to the team?

15:55 - Brett likes to think of himself as a well-rounded intellectual human being. But can he argue AGAINST an argument he made? Can he argue the opposite perspective of something he believes in? Let's see.
Next, Conor McGahey is out in Carbondale with Moser and the Altitude TV crew. Let's have him hop on the headset to see what he thinks of the Broncos offseason.

33:01 - Conor sticks around and offers his insight into the Victor Olofsson signing and what his role will be on the team.

8-21-25 Hour 1 - Brett was RIGHT about Vele/Brett was ALSO RIGHT about Gomber/Combing the Waiver Wire

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:55:08 +0000

0:00 - Brett was right. Devaughn Vele was tradable for a draft picks! Someone out there wanted him. Moser and Vic called him a madman, and yet Kaner ended up on the right side of history. Let's allow him to take a victory lap!

15:47 - While's Brett's out here taking victory laps, he was right about something else! He said it was time for the Rockies to cut bait with Austin Gomber. Just admit everything about the Arenado trade was a failure and cut him loose. Low and behold... the Rox put him on outright waivers yesterday.
The Gomber situation also reminded Brett about something the Broncos did...

32:43 - After all the teams trim their rosters to 53 men, will Sean Payton look to claim anyone off waivers?

8-20-25 Hour 3 - Everything's HUNKY-DORY in Broncos Country/Who created time?/Matt Stafford's clone

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 16:39:48 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton's riding super high with his squad right now! Everything's HUNKY DORY! This team could win the Super Bowl, every player is an MVP candidate, blah blah blah. And Moser is getting a bit sick of it. Be cautious, Sean.

15:26 - Baseball broadcasts get weird. You have to fill 9 innings with content 162 times each year. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes, commentators go off the beaten path. Sometimes they go...WAY off the beaten path.

33:34 - The Matt Stafford who just returned to Rams training camp healthy and ready to roll isn't actually Matt Stafford. He's been replaced by a clone. Don't take it from me. Take it from "credible" internet sources.

8-20-25 Hour 2 - NFL True or False/Apple drops MLB, Brett's Rox Revelation/Feisty Coaches vs the Media

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 16:28:58 +0000

0:00 - We are SO BACK, baby. Let's do a preseason edition of NFL True or False.

19:14 - Apple TV will no longer carry MLB games. Did...anyone actually know that Apple TV had MLB games? Also, Brett learned a valuable lesson watching the Rockies vs Dodgers last night.

32:53 - We love it (and also hate it sometimes) when a coach gets a little feisty with the media! Let's check in with new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn. How's he handling the notorious New York media?

8-20-25 Hour 1 - Jahdae Barron is Flex Seal/Sean Payton distributes the ball/Browns could carry 4 QBs

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 15:55:02 +0000

0:00 - Should we talk about actual football Xs and Os? Nah. Jahdae Barron is Flex Seal. What made for TV products correspond with Broncos players? Which infomercial is Nik Bonitto?

15:29 - Sean Payton doesn't like to lean on one particular offensive weapon. He likes distributing the ball to all of his guys. To reinforce this point, Brett dives into the stats from Sean's beloved 2009 Saints.

32:29 - Adam Schefter says the Browns could legitimately carry 4 QBs on the roster heading into the season. Really? What's the endgame here? Heck, the Broncos carried 3 last year and we all lost our minds about it.

8-19-25 Hour 3 - QB reclamation projects/SEC still seeking Sanders?/Rox rallying, Eisen's touching tribute

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 16:47:36 +0000

0:00 - The Colts just named Daniel Jones their Week 1 starter. That's gotta be the end of Anthony Richardson's Colts days, right? There's no coming back from that. Could he go elsewhere and find success? Who are the great reclamation project QBs in NFL history that switched teams and revived their career?

16:10 - It's almost college football season, which means it's time for Paul Finebaum to say something stupid that makes us mad. He said an SEC school will probably try to steal Deion Sanders regardless of how this season goes. What does that mean? Even if Deion goes 1-11, Florida will try to poach him or something?

32:51 - Baseball's weird, man. The Rox are rallying! Even the worst teams can get hot in a 162 game season. Also, Rich Eisen had a touching tribute to his former ESPN/SportsCenter co-host the late great Stuart Scott.

8-19-25 Hour 2 - Why Your Team Sucks/Ranking QBs in AFC West/10880 meatballs, CFB uniform combos

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 16:21:36 +0000

0:00 - Defector recently published the Broncos edition of Why Your Team Sucks, their annual NFL tradition. Let's see if we agree with their Broncos roasts/criticisms.

13:26 - Where does Bo Nix rank among the QBs in the AFC West? Can the Broncos achieve playoff success if he's the 3rd-best QB in his division?

31:50 - Tulane's football team clains they ate 10,880 meatballs during their fall camp. Do with this information what you will. Next, one college football program is saving a ton of money by only using 2 uniform combinations this season. Are we a fan of schools who use a bunch of different uni combos? Or do we like streamlining for the sake of saving money?

8-19-25 Hour 1 - Harvey hits the hole/ROX ARE GETTIN HOT/Burrow fights for his life, top SportsCenter Anchors

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - A cool camera angle emerged of RJ Harvey's TD vs the Cardinals on Saturday. He hit the tiniest hole in the offensive line, ripped straight through it, and found the end zone. When was the last time the Broncos had a guy like that?

16:49 - ROX ARE GETTING HOT, BOYS! They walked it off against the Dodgers last night. They've won 6 of 7. They only need 6 wins to avoid being the worst team in the modern era. Oh how the turn tables.
Also, the Browns just named Joe Flacco as their day 1 starter. Really? What's the plan here, fellas?

33:35 - Joe Burrow played in Cincy's preseason game last night and, shocker, the O-Line had him running for his life. He got sacked and dogpiled a few times. In a meaningless preseason game. Hey Joe..it's preseason! Just fall down!
Next, in honor of Rich Eisen returning to ESPN & SportsCenter last night, who are the greatest SportsCenter achors of all time?

8-18-25 Hour 3 - Broncos cuts that will hurt you/We're hypocrites, who's in the groove?/Losers, lowlifes & clowns

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 16:36:30 +0000

0:00 - Who's one Broncos player who will be cut and you'll hate to see him go?

16:34 - Brett explains one specific way that we're all hypocrites. After that, which Broncos players are in the groove right now 2 games into the preseason?

35:20 - Vic is depressed by the actions of his coworkers. They're all losers, lowlifes, scavengers, and clowns.

8-18-25 Hour 2 - Broncos biggest weakness?/Taking shots at Shedeur?/Rebuilding the RB room

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - What's the biggest weakness on the Broncos roster?

13:42 - Did Dillon Gabriel take a thinly veiled shot at his own teammate over the weekend?

32:43 - Last year, the Broncos run game was non-existent. This year, it's looking good in preseason. What's the difference? How'd Payton flip the script?

8-18-25 Hour 1 - Broncos Preseason Game #2 takeaways/Trimming down the roster/Biggest Hit of the Weekend

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 15:55:08 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos beat up the Cardinals is Preseason Game #2 on Saturday. What did we learn? What are the biggest takeaways?

16:20 - Sean Payton has too many solid players on his roster. Trimming down to the 53-man roster is going to be TOUGH. That's a good problem to have.

33:37 - What was the Biggest Hit of the Weekend? Brett has a couple options.

8-15-25 Hour 3 - Three Kickass Teams in Denver/NCAA punishes Michigan...again, Shedeur is out/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 16:31:44 +0000

0:00 - We have 3 kickass teams in Denver right now. At the same time! That's awesome. Get stoked, people. Don't take this for granted. We have 3 championship contenders about to start their seasons in the next couple months.

15:59 - The NCAA handed Michigan another punishment for the Connor Stallions sign stealing scandal. And, yet again, it doesn't really matter. After that, Shedeur Sanders is nursing an injury and won't play in Cleveland's preseason game this weekend. So...who the heck IS their QB? Do the Browns have a healthy person in that room?

34:37 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAKES. We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed & it makes us sound like we're hammered.

8-15-25 Hour 2 - Team most likely to finish 1st/Believe in the Avalanche/Building out the 53-man roster

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 16:15:57 +0000

0:00 - Between the Avs, Nuggets, and Broncos...which team is most likely to finish 1st in their division? Rank them 1-3 most likely to least likely to win their division.

13:43 - Did the Avs have a good offseason? Moser explains why you should still believe in the Avalanche heading into next season.

31:47 - How will Sean Payton fill out the final roster? Will he keep 4 RBs? How many WRs? Who's on the bubble?

8-15-25 Hour 1 - No starters will play on Saturday/Nuggets schedule released/Cards D impressed by Nix

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - The Broncos looked good in joint practice yesterday! In fact, Sean Payton said he won't play any starters vs the Cardinals tomorrow. Do we like that? Would you want to see the starters get some reps?

15:05 - The full Nuggets schedule is out! Which games are we looking forward to?

33:18 - Sean Payton wasn't the only one impressed by Bo Nix yesterday. The AZ Cardinals defense also had some high praise for him after practice.

8-14-25 Hour 3 - Nuggets at Broncos practice/AZ Cardinals PxP Paul Calvisi/Final thoughts from camp

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 16:28:08 +0000

0:00 - Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson showed up at Broncos camp yesterday and hung with the guys. We love how connected all the athletes are in this town. Everyone supports each other.

17:14 - Paul Calvisi, the radio voice of the Arizona Cardinals, is an old friend of Vic's. He sat down with us at training camp to roast Vic thoroughly, and share the AZ perspective of joint practice & preseason Game #2.

31:44 - It's our last day live at training camp! The fellas give their final thoughts before we bid the leaf blower guy adieu until next year.

8-14-25 Hour 2 - PSII think the defense can be all-time/Jeff Legwold/Jeff Legwold Part II: Electric Boogaloo

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - PSII sat down with Kay Adams and said the Broncos defense isn't just the best in the NFL right now. They might go down as an all-time great defense in NFL history.

15:45 - The Arizona Cardinals are arriving at Broncos camp any minute now...before they do, let's catch up with Jeff Legwold before he has to dash off to joint practice.

36:14 - We suckered Jeff Legwold into staying around for another segment. Who's the best QB mind Jeff ever encountered. Where does Bo Nix stack up?

8-14-25 Hour 1 - Broncos disrupted by a 2am jazz festival/Riley Moss with Vic/Shedeur's debut breaks records

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton had a list of 14 (or 17) things that bothered him about the preseason trip to play the Niners. He referenced a music festival across from the hotel that disturbed the Broncos at 2am. Our festival insider Jesse Trujillo offered some insight into the debacle.

14:44 - Broncos CB Riley Moss sat down (in the hot seat) for an interview with Vic yesterday. Expectations for the Broncos defense, skinny jeans, coffee...nothing is off the table.

35:29 - Shedeur Sanders made his preseason debut with the Browns last weekend, and it shattered preseason viewing records. Has there ever been this much buzz for a 5th round QB (or 5th round player in general) in NFL history?

29:25 - Stick shifts are a dying breed. Who uses those things anymore?

8-07-25 Hour 2 - Another red herring depth chart/Game plan for Travis Hunter/Hockey is OURS now, Canada

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton released the first depth chart of the year and guess what...all the rookies are last again! I'm shocked! This is my shocked face!

13:31 - The Jaguars listed Travis Hunter at both WR and CB on the depth chart. Looks like they actually wanna try playing him both ways!

30:58 - Sorry, Canada. Hockey is ours. We took it, according to Vic.

8-07-25 Hour 1 - Rox allow 45 runs in 3 games/Bear encounter, Broncos in SF for joint practice/Avs expectations

Thu, 07 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - The Rockies gave up 45 RUNS to the Blue Jays in 3 GAMES. They allowed 63 HITS. They're out here making history YET AGAIN for all the wrong reasons.
Are we mad? Depressed? Apathetic? Can anything enact REAL CHANGE at 20th and Blake?

17:29 - The Seattle Kraken mascot almost got GOT by a grizzly in Alaska. After that, the Broncos are in SF today for their first joint practice with the Niners. Are we gonna see any fights in camp? Do you like it when things get chippy out there on the practice field?

33:24 - How good will the Avs be next season? What are reasonable expectations for next year?

8-06-25 Hour 3 - Is Bo a Phony? What's a Phony?/Expectations for Broncos vs Niners/Vic is now ANTI-BANANA

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 16:23:28 +0000

0:00 - Is Bo Nix a PHONY? Is he corny? Is DMac onto something? What makes an athlete a "phony?" What makes someone corny?

12:29 - Yet ANOTHER example of someone throwing a...marital aid on the court during a WNBA game. Let's get back to football, shall we? Are we going to learn anything from the Broncos vs Niners joint practices and preseason game? Any expectations?

31:12 - It finally happened. Vic Lombardi is officially anti-Banana. Savannah or otherwise. Bananas ACROSS THE BOARD. Next, how much does a Bo Nix shirt cost? Is it worth buying?

8-06-25 Hour 2 - NFL Network-ESPN Merger/Where's Micah Parsons headed?/DMac thinks Bo is a PHONY

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 16:13:46 +0000

0:00 - Red Zone is officially headed to ESPN! If they're smart, they won't change anything. Let's see how smart ESPN really is.

18:22 - If he leaves the Cowboys...where's Micah Parsons headed? Plenty of teams would take his services!

30:58 - He started a YouTube channel. He's posting workout videos. He's selling SHIRTS ONLINE?? Is Bo Nix a phony? Has he officially crossed into phony territory? DMac certainly thinks so. He hit the phones, joined our show, and immediately got on his soapbox.

8-06-25 Hour 1 - Moser didn't do his homework/Sean Payton loves Bo Nix/RIP Smelling Salts

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Shocker...Marc Moser didn't do his homework last night. Go figure! He didn't watch the first episode of Hard Knocks last night.

16:31 - Sean Payton loves Bo Nix and it made him leave a weird voicemail for Dianna Russini.

36:00 - RIP Smelling Salts in the NFL. I'm sure this discussion will only revolve around smelling salts, and not immediately fly off the rails...

8-05-25 Hour 3 - Preseason Game 1 expectations/Surviving the Wilson contract/Should Bo play in preseason?

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 16:23:51 +0000

0:00 - What do we need to see from the Broncos in the first preseason game? Which players will we be watching?

16:12 - CBS Sports compiled a list of the 25 worst NFL trades in last 25 years. #1 on the list was Deshaun Watson to the Browns. #2? Russell Wilson to the Broncos. Look at how differently both teams have fared since then. The Browns have about 50 QBs on the roster and can't find stability, while the Broncos are a playoff team that's still trending upward.

32:48 - Should Bo Nix play in the preseason games? What would you want to see from him if he suits up? How much should he play?

8-05-25 Hour 2 - Rox ownership vs Broncos ownership/Starters will play on Sat/Vic with Jeremy Crawshaw

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - The Rockies are back to their losing way, and yesterday's loss officially clinched YET ANOTHER losing season for them. Can their ownership group ever turn this team around? Look at how the Broncos rebounded from the 9-year Super Bowl hangover. That required an ownership change.

16:31 - Sean Payton said the starters will play in preseason game #1 vs the Niners. He didn't specify which starters and how long they'll play. Do we want to see any starters out there? What can we learn from a preseason game?

31:14 - Over the weekend, Vic had a chance to sit down with Broncos punter Jeremy Crawshaw. He's from Australia and played college football at Florida. He may be the most interesting man in the world. Also, he does a killer southern accent.

8-05-25 Hour 1 - Payton says this team can win a SB/Vic got scammed/Can Bo Nix be a top 5 QB?

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Sean Payton said he's previously been a part of 6 teams that had a legit chance to win the Super Bowl. This currently Broncos squad is the 7th.

17:15 - It happens to the best of us. Vic got got. He got scammed by Scams Charania. But it's actually Chris Marlowe's fault.

32:23 - Sean Payton said that Bo Nix can be a top 4 or 5 QB in the league. Do we agree?

8-04-25 Hour 3 - Another day closer to death, Dubai Chocolate/Next steps for Nix/Luka signs Lakers extension

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 16:35:39 +0000

0:00 - Mike McDaniel dropped another memorable quote at Dolphins camp over the weekend. Next, Vic is concerned about a sensation that's sweeping the Lombardi household.

14:38 - What are the next steps for Bo Nix? How does he take the "next steps" this season?

32:35 - Luka Doncic signed a 3-year extension with the Lakers. Vic explains why Luka's undergoing an early-onset midlife crisis.

8-04-25 Hour 2 - Assessing Bo in training camp/Mose & Berto's dirty laundry/Evan Engram's interview with Vic

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 16:25:31 +0000

14:31 - In honor of Bill Belichick catching a stray at NFL HOF weekend, Berto and Moser air out each other's dirty laundry on ex-wives/fiances/girlfriends of the past.

32:22 - Vic had the chance to sit down with Evan Engram at camp last week. He told the story of how he became a TE in the NFL since he doesn't fit the usual TE build/profile.

8-04-25 Hour 1 - Zach Allen extension/Rockies win a weird one, Bananas coming to town/Camp stat weirdos

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 16:13:09 +0000

0:00 - Zach Allen signed a contract extension with the Broncos. He's the next stalwart to get paid. Good on Broncos ownership. They're doing this the right way.

16:05 - The Rockies pulled off the weirdest and wildest comeback we've ever seen over the weekend. This weekend, the Savanah Bananas are in town. Once again, let's investigate Moser's beef with the bananas.

33:13 - There are people out there who seriously track training camp stats. They monitor QB incompletions, interceptions, etc. Really? Do we genuinely care about that stuff?

8-01-25 Hour 3 - Concerned about Greenlaw?/Another great Cam Ward soundbite, Vic's tower trip/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 16:26:13 +0000

0:00 - Greenlaw left the field early yesterday with an apparent injury/tweak. Sean Payton wasn't concerned about it. But, should we be?

13:45 - Cam Ward is very honest, if nothing else. He had another great quote from Titans camp. He's starting to grow on us. Also, Vic survived his tower excursion at the Broncos facility construction site! What did he learn? Does he have anything to report?

32:49 - It's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAKES

8-01-25 Hour 2 - Terry McLaurin wants out/The Broncos are building something/Micah Parsons wants out!

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 16:12:22 +0000

0:00 - It took us a while to get there, but...Scary Terry wants out of Washington. Would you take him here?

12:38 - Yesterday, Adam Trautman said Wednesday's practice was the best practice he's ever had in a Broncos uniform. The culture is changing. The tides are shifting. In the words of Coach Prime, "DO YOU BELIEVE?"

32:26 - Supposedly, Michael Parson, I mean...uh...Micah Parsons has had enough of Jerry Jones' octogenarian antics. He wants out of Dallas. And honestly...can you blame him?

8-01-25 Hour 1 - Which Broncos will play in the preseason?/Rox actually did something?/Burnham Yard is a dump

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 15:55:11 +0000

0:00 - We watched the NFL HOF game last night...for like 5 minutes. It was great for a second there. But it got us thinking...which Broncos players do we need to see play preseason football? Who needs to prove it?

15:35 - The Rockies actually **checks notes** actually did something? At the trade deadline? They offloaded some players? Is this real life?

33:24 - Some people are complaining that Burnham Yard, where the new Broncos Stadium is going, is an important historical site that needs to be preserved. According to Vic, it's a dump. Stop it. The new stadium will absolutely improve that dump.

7-31-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold Live at Camp!/A injured Peter Schaffer sits down with us/Wait, or get paid now?

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 16:18:18 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold usually joins us on Zoom (from his now-famous kitchen) but today, he joins us live in person at Broncos camp! Leggy's been to a few camps in his day. What are his impressions of this year's so far?

21:01 - NFL Super Agent Peter Schaffer sat down with us at Broncos camp today. Mostly because standing is tough for him. He's rehabbing a torn Achilles. If only someone on our show knew what that was like...

32:39 - Let's get an agent's opinion: when's the best time to sign an NFL contract? Is it wise to sign an extension ASAFP? Or should you wait for awhile if there's the possibility of making even more money later?

7-31-25 Hour 2 - Intrigued by the running game/Ready for Preseason Football/Does age really matter?

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 16:06:23 +0000

0:00 - As camp keeps unfolding, Brett finds himself more and more intrigued by the Broncos running game and how it's developing.

14:50 - It finally happened...Moser is officially READY for a NFL football game played between two actual NFL teams. Even if it's just preseason. LFG.

32:46 - Let's re-investigate that ESPN article that ranked NFL teams based on how much talent they have under the age of 25. Reminder: the Broncos ranked dead last. Is that really an issue? How important is age when it comes to success on the field?

7-31-25 Hour 1 - Chippy Training Camp with Chirps/Bryce Harper needs to shut it/Why Jokic would leave

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Broncos camp got chippy yesterday! The pads were POPPIN as the saying goes. And guys were chirping each other. Marvin Mims had maybe the line of the day. That's good! You want to see camp get a little fiery.

14:40 - Bryce Harper needs to be humbled. Someone needs to put him in his place. He mouthed off to the MLB Commissioner, and Vic says that's unacceptable.

33:05 - I hate to say it...I don't even want to put this into the universe...but Vic has a reason why Jokic MIGHT leave Denver after the '25-'26 season.

7-30-25 Hour 3 - Vic & Jesse's NFL HOF Adventures/Shoveling donut holes, Ups & Downs of Sutton/Fact Checker

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 16:52:54 +0000

0:00 - Vic & Jesse remember the time they snuck into the NFL's Hall of Fame party with some false bravado and a random gold jacket.

13:51 - Moser spent the commercial break cramming his mouth full of donut holes that were supposed to be communal. After that, Courtland Sutton has had a wild up and down career. It's great that he finally gets to play on a legit contending team for the first time.

32:29 - Just how many donut holes did Mose eat? Let's investigate.

7-30-25 Hour 2 - A Major Programming Announcement/$62 million HS footballs stadium/Best Young NFL Teams

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 16:40:51 +0000

0:00 - We've been teasing it...and now it's time to major our major programming announcement. Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 is your new home for Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night NFL games! We'll carry Westwood One's NFL Broadcast starting Week 1 of the season, all the way through Super Bowl 60.

14:10 - There's a high school football team in Georgia that just built a $62 MILLION DOLLAR STADIUM. It's better than some D1 NCAA stadiums. HS football in the south is different, man.

32:01 - ESPN ranked every NFL team based on level of talent under the age of 25. How many talented players does each team have under the age of 25? Where do you think the Broncos ranked on that list?

7-30-25 Hour 1 - A leader on & off the field/No scary weapons on offense/Another NFL Owner needs to pipe down

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 16:25:28 +0000

0:00 - Courtland Sutton is incredibly important to the Broncos both on and off the field. We're happy he signed an extension and will stay in Orange & Blue for at least 2 more years.

14:41 - The Broncos don't really have any "scary" weapons on offense. Any guys who are known playmakers, who have a big impact. The kind of guy who makes a defense shake in their boots every single down. When was the last time they had someone like that?

32:14 - Jerry Jones, Matt Brown, and now ANOTHER NFL owner that needs to keep his mouth shut. Come on, man! When are these owners gonna learn?

7-29-25 Hour 3 - Good contract for Sutton/No one wants Vučević?, weird Browns QB room/An unconventional TE

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 16:32:31 +0000

0:00 - We're fans of the Courtland Sutton contract. It's the right value for Sutton's role and production. Who's next in line to get paid? How many Broncos will get paid before someone has to be left out?

15:32 - How come there aren't any suitors for Nikola Vučević? The Bulls are shopping him, and no one's biting. Should the Nuggets find a way to grab Big Vuc? Next, the overcrowded Browns QB room is thinning out because of injury. Is it Joe Flacco's job to lose? Can Shedeur win the gig?

31:42 - We see where Evan Engram is lining up in the formations at camp...how will he be used? He's certainly an unconventional TE. Heck, he's smaller than some of the WRs out there!

7-29-25 Hour 2 - Will John Franklin-Myers be left out?/Deion's diagnosis/Brett's 2 Rockies Minutes!

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - A lot of players on the defensive side of the ball are waiting to get PAID big time. Will there be enough cap room for John Franklin-Myers?

18:33 - SEC fans couldn't survive the college football meat grinder that is the MAC. Shoutout MACtion. Next, Deion Sanders addressed the media yesterday and explained his medical situation. He had an aggressive form of bladder cancer that required a complete remove of his bladder. Get checked, fellas. When was your last checkup?

31:00 - It's been a while since we gave Brett his pulpit. So...everbody strap in for TWO MINUTES OF ROCKIES TALK, BABY!

7-29-25 Hour 1 - Sutton signs extension/Greenlaw's fitting in here/Luka Doncic's revenge body

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Courtland Sutton signed an extension with the Broncos! 4-years, $92 million. Good for Court. Do we like the contract? Is it the right value for Sutton's production?

13:08 - Already, Dre Greenlaw is making and impact in Orange and Blue. He wanted to be here, and the Broncos wanted him here.

32:44 - Luka Doncic is looking SVELT. He's literally on the cover of Men's Health Magazine. He's a coverboy. Nico Harrison created a monster. But it's a slippery slope. Everything we're saying about Luka and his conditioning sound a lot like the discussion surrounding Jamal Murray...

7-28-25 Hour 3 - Which RBs will make the cut?/Player warmup routines/Asking fewer Broncos questions

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 16:27:26 +0000

0:00 - Which RBs will make the cut? Estime? Bidet? What will their roles be? How quickly can RJ Harvey slot into the offense?

17:15 - As the players trickle onto the practice field, some of them have strange warmup routines.

32:57 - We're asking a lot fewer questions about the Broncos this offseason, and it's a privilege to be in that position.

7-28-25 Hour 2 - Happy Gilmore 2 sucks, Ichiro's got jokes/Bo Nix setting the culture/The theme of camp

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 16:19:55 +0000

0:00 - Sorry, folks. Happy Gilmore 2 sucked. (Don't worry, this breakdown doesn't have any spoilers) Also, Ichiro Suzuki brought the zingers to his MLB HOF induction speech this weekend.

14:33 - Bo Nix is cool, calm, collected, and composed heading into year 2. He's really setting the bar around the Broncos. It's his team.

33:58 - What's the "theme" of camp this year? It's not a QB battle (THANK GOD) so what is it?

7-28-25 Hour 1 - Vic & Moser are back from Italy/Jokic winning horse race vs NBA title/Getting up to speed

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 15:57:44 +0000

0:00 - Who are these Moser and Lombardi guys? What are they doing on Brett's show?

15:51 - Jokic's horse won a racing title in Serbia over the weekend and he shed real tears of joy. It was WAY more dramatic than when he won an NBA title. Brett thinks he knows why Jokic reacted so differently.

33:35 - Let's bring Moser and Vic up to speed. What have we seen so far in the early days of Broncos camp?

7-25-25 Hour 3 - Position battles we WANT to see/Players are taking the field/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 16:16:52 +0000

0:00 - What's a position battle we WANT to see at Broncos camp? Thank GOD it's not QB.

14:08 - Finally...Broncos players are starting to take the field and hype up the crowd. Who's the first out there? Also, Raj brought like 5 breakfast sandwiches to camp just for himself. Sharing is caring, Raj.

34:27 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAAKES

7-25-25 Hour 2 - Fitting in the new Broncos/Hackett has a job again!?/Revamping the CFB schedule

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - This Broncos roster is STACKED on paper. But will it be stacked in practice? It comes down to incorporating the new players. How will guys like Barron, Harvey, Hufanga, and Greenlaw slot into their roles on the team?

20:10 - We have an update on Justin Fields' injury, and it's not as bad as it seemed yesterday. Also, Nathaniel Hackett has a job again! For real! Someone hired him! That guy must be a great interviewer.

33:55 - We don't like Dan Lanning on this show, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. He has an idea to revamp the college football schedule and we totally agree with him.

7-25-25 Hour 1 - BACK at Broncos Camp/Broncos have consistency finally/Jokic Bros boxing Morris Twins

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - We're finally back at Broncos camp, baby. Oh man it feels good. There's a slight chill in the air...the smell of fresh-cut grass...we are SO BACK.

16:12 - The 4 core components of a winning football team are ownership, front office, head coach, QB. For the first time in AGES, the Broncos are entering this season with consistency in all 4 of those categories. It feels amazing. Now, let's get to work.

35:40 - The Morris Twins went on Shaq's podcast and said they could beat the Jokic Brothers in a boxing match. Really? That's...quite a take, right there. RIP Morris Twins 1989-2025.

7-24-25 Hour 3 - Marcus Washington in studio!/Expectations for Deion/RIP Hulkster, Cam Ward likes Cam Ward

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 16:18:03 +0000

0:00 - Former CU Football Corner/Safety Marcus Washington is in studio with us for a full hour today! As an alum of the CU football team, what does Marcus think of the overall state of the program right now?

13:54 - Now that Deion Sanders doesn't have Shedeur & Shilo, and Travis Hunter on his roster anymore, what are reasonable expectations this season? Will the team look different now that Deion can be just a coach, instead of being both a coach and a father?

32:54 - RIP Hulk Hogan. God speed, Brother. After that, Cam Ward was asked about Will Levis having season-ending surgery, and Cam's answer was rather blunt.

7-24-25 Hour 2 - Justin Fields injured at Jets camp/Wild Jokic stat, Bo Nix ranked #64/Jeff Legwold

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - Justin Fields was carted off the field at Jets camp with a lower leg injury. The Jets might need themselves a QB. The Cleveland Browns have...5 QBs on the roster right now. Is Kenny Pickett headed to NY? Will the Browns trade Shedeur to the Jets?

15:54 - Brett has some Jokic-related numbers that emphasize why the Nuggets need Jonas Valanciunas do desperately (sorry Greece). Then, Bo Nix cracked the NFL's Top 100 ranking at #64! Good for Bo!

32:46 - We haven't made it to Broncos camp yet (we'll be broadcasting live from camp starting tomorrow). So let's talk to someone who has been there. What are Jeff Legwold's initial impressions from Dove Valley?

7-24-25 Hour 1 - The feared "Sophomore Slump"/Can GOATs be good teachers?/Brett's a vinyl guy

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Can Bo Nix avoid the feared Sophomore Slump? More importantly, is that even a real thing? Sean Payton isn't worried about it at all.

15:18 - Bo Nix spent a few days hanging out with Drew Brees this summer. Brett raised an interesting question: can the GOATs really teach young guys? Sometimes, the best players ever have a natural ability and athleticism that can't really be taught.

36:18 - Brett's an old soul, He still listens to Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra on vinyl. Berto's music taste is a little more modern. Actually, a lot more modern.

7-23-25 Hour 3 - Punchable animals, Josey Jewell released/Bonitto on his contract/ESPN wants NFL Red Zone

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 16:25:42 +0000

0:00 - In honor of Berto's dolphin story, which animal would you want to punch in the face? Who could you take in a fight? Also, on a more serious note, the Carolina Panthers have released Josey Jewell. He's still dealing with concussion symptoms dating back to Week 15 of last season. We're hoping the former Broncos finds a path to recovery.

15:18 - Nik Bonitto spoke about his contract situation as camp ramps up. Is it wise to extend him now? Or should the Broncos drag it out?

32:47 - Supposedly, ESPN is close to purchasing Red Zone from NFL Network. Would we like that move? How would ESPN handle Red Zone? Would they change it?

7-23-25 Hour 2 - Russell Wilson named Giants starter/Brett's not a flip-flopper!/CFB is too subjective

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Before Giants camp even started, Brian Daboll went ahead and named Russell Wilson the starter...okay? Why? Why would he do that?

14:56 - Earlier in the show, people accussed Brett of being a flip-flopper! How DARE they? Brett takes the opportunity to clarify and defend himself.

31:59 - College Football rankings have always been too subjective. Strenght of schedule? Quality losses? Can you imagine if other leagues did that? What if the NBA determined the playoffs based on whoever the league thought was "best?"

7-23-25 Hour 1 - A Broncos Lover & a Broncos Hater/More from Nick Wrong on the Broncos/Jokic on Hansen Yang

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Colin Cowherd is riding high on the Broncos and his close personal friend Sean Payton. Meanwhile, Nick Wright can't believe people are buying Broncos stock in the offseason. They're definitely not the 6th best team, like ESPN said. Two polar opposite takes. Where do we stand?

14:47 - Unfortunately...let's listen to more of Nick Wright's criticism of the Broncos. Is there any truth to what he's saying?

32:51 - Jokic is continuing his offseason tour of China to promote his shoe brand. He was asked about Hansen Yang, the young Blazers draft pick who's said he idolizes Jokic's game.

7-22-25 Hour 3 - Actor infidelity(?), Big 12 rejects Memphis/Don't fight athletes!/Bednar get no respect

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 16:38:59 +0000

0:00 - If you were married to a famous actor/actress, would you be able to watch them be in love with someone else on screen? Or would that be too hard? Speaking of rejection, Memphis went to the Big 12 with $250 million in hand, and the Big 12 told them to kick rocks.

16:41 - Don't try to fight athletes! No matter how much drunken confidence you have, you can't take down a pro athlete. Stop trying!

31:52 - The coaching staff for Team Canada's 2026 Olympic Hockey team has been released, and Jared Bednar didn't make the cut. Guys like Jon Cooper and Pete DeBoer did. Why does Bednar always seem to get snubbed for any/every coaching honor?

7-22-25 Hour 2 - Avs & Nugs = Championship or Bust/Just stop talking, Jerry & Mike!/Cost of Bonitto & Allen

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - If the Avalanche & Nuggets don't win it all, it's a disappointment. Both teams are in a Championship or Bust window right now. And that's awesome. But it's also tough having such a high bar, even it it's warranted.

15:18 - There are some people in this world who need to shut up. Just stop talking. And 2 of those people are Jerry Jones & Mike Brown.

32:48 - What would it cost to pay both Zach Allen and Nik Bonitto at the same time? Can you afford to renew both their contracts in one fell swoop?

7-22-25 Hour 1 - Bo Nix narratives/OMG Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Nix vs Hurts comp/Westbrook still not signed

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - There are lots of offseason narratives surrounding Bo Nix right now - some are positive, some are negative. But are any of them fair?

15:10 - Starbucks announced that the coveted Pumpkin Spice Latte will return on August 26th. OMG totes can't wait. Next, Bo Nix and Jalen Hurts are more similar than you'd think, according to Kaner.

34:31 - Are we surprised that no one's picked up Russell Westbrook yet? He should've found a home by now.

7-21-25 Hour 3 - Should we be scared of the Lakers?/Ambassador for the game/Nugs Summer League takeaways

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 16:27:30 +0000

0:00 - The Lakers added Marcus Smart over the weekend. They're making MOVES this offseason, in addition to, y'know, the whole Luka thing. So...should we finally start worrying about the Lakers? Are they a legit threat in the west?

15:47 - Do the best athletes have a responsibility to be an ambassador for their sport?

35:37 - Curtis Jones signed a 2-way contract with the Nuggets after Summer League. Now that Summer League is in the books, what did we see from some of these young guns/prospects? Who can make a meaningful impact on the roster this year?

7-21-25 Hour 2 - Standards for a Broncos QB/Scheffler is Jokic, Jokic is Scheffler/"Breaking" NFL News

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 16:00:07 +0000

0:00 - How high is the bar for a Broncos QB? What heights does Bo Nix have to reach to meet the minimum standard?

14:25 - Scottie Scheffler and Nikola Jokic are different people, but they're cut from the same cloth. Over the weekend, we realized they're more similar than you'd think.

32:17 - Titans QB Will Levis is set to have season-ending surgery, meaning Cam Ward will be the starter on Day 1. It hasn't been announced yet, but it'll certainly looking that way. The Broncos will face Cam in Week 1.

7-21-25 Hour 1 - Scheffler strays from the spotlight/Payton needs to run the ball/Enough Coldplay memes

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Scottie Scheffler won the Open Championship this weekend, adding another major to his resume. And yet, he's not the face of the sport like Tiger was. He doesn't command the spotlight like some of his peers. Why is that?

16:56 - The Broncos need to RUN. THE DAMN. BALL this upcoming season. Why was Sean Payton hesitant to run the ball last year? Is he opposed to a run-heavy offense? Or did he not like his RB room?

34:50 - Enough already! The Coldplay CEO memes have run their course and then some. Speaking of things that have run their course...Damian Lillard is officially out of Milwaukee and he just signed a contract to return to Portland. Man, the Dame Time Bucks experiment didn't work.

Altitude Summer Scramble: Radical Rockies Roundtable w/DMac, Kreckman & Kane

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 18:00:08 +0000

If you can believe it, Broncos Training Camp is almost here. It's one week away! Before you know it, we'll all shift our focus to football & the lofty expectations for Year 2 with Bo Nix.

But before we do that...let's find the only 3 people at Altitude Sports Radio who GENUINELY care about the Rockies, stick them in a room together, and see what happens. We scrounged up 3 bonafide seamheads to break down the bad, the worse, and the ugly from this memorable (for the wrong reasons) 2025 Rockies season.

The Altitude Summer scramble is fueled by Le Peep! If you haven’t had Le Peep, your day is not complete.

Altitude Summer Scramble: Raj & Vic

Fri, 18 Jul 2025 18:00:08 +0000

The Altitude Summer scramble is fueled by Le Peep! If you haven’t had Le Peep, your day is not complete.

7-17-25 Hour 3 - Jeff Legwold/Pat McAfee: Yay or Nay?, Moser live in Italy/Another 2nd-round pick signed

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 16:49:38 +0000

0:00 - Jeff Legwold! Long time, no talk. We missed our Leggy updates. A few weeks ago, he told us not to worry about Jahdae Barron still being unsigned. He was right about that. Now, should we be concerned that RJ Harvey hasn't put pen to paper yet?

14:31 - Fox Sports might be hiring some of the Barstool guys (like Dave Portnoy) to join their college football TV broadcast this season. Clearly, they're trying to emulate the McAfee model. Do we enjoy Pat McAfee? Or is he overstaying his welcome a bit? Then, Moser calls us from Italy with an update.

32:15 - The Bears just signed their 2nd round pick, and he was only 2 picks away from RJ Harvey. This means that Harvey should be signing soon, right? Also, let's revisit the Greatest Cry that was ever recorded on tape.

7-17-25 Hour 2 - The SuperTeam method doesn't work/George Paton is underrated/Valuing Courtland Sutton

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 16:26:24 +0000

0:00 - The Clippers signed Bradley Beal to a 2-year/$11 million contract. We don't think this is going to work because...the SuperTeam plan rarely works. SuperTeams fail more often than they succeed.

10:14 - George Paton really doesn't get his flowers as a GM. He's done an amazing job with the Broncos. Hiring Nathaniel Hackett is a huge black mark on his record, but basically everything else he's done has been a success.

29:13 - What's Courtland Sutton's value to the Broncos? Where does he stack up amongst NFL wide receivers?

7-17-25 Hour 1 - Gillis roasts everyone at ESPYs/Conor McGahey on Avs schedule/Jamal needs to break out

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Shane Gillis roasted anyone/everyone in his opening monologue at the ESPYs yesterday. Everyone from Donald Trump to Simone Biles caught some strays. Brett, Rob, and Nelly are fans of it. That's what these award shows need. Did you enjoy Gillis' monologue?

19:34 - The Avs schedule is out! Tickets are on sale tomorrow. Conor McGahey, the Voice of Your Colorado Avalanche, hopped on the phone to break down the schedule with us. Are there any easy stretches for the Avs? Tough road trips? What does Conor think?

36:54 - Jamal needs to have a breakout year this season. He knows it. We know it. Jon Wallace knows it, and he said as much on our show yesterday.

7-16-25 Hour 3 - Escalating cornerback contracts/Relationship btwn Jokic & his brothers/Jon Wallace

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 16:30:24 +0000

0:00 - Pat Surtain II signed the most expensive Cornerback contract in NFL history like a year ago. Now, it's maybe 4th highest? People keep one-upping our boy!

12:33 - Jokic has a special relationship with his brothers. They had a large part in turning Jokic into the player he is today. A bond between brothers is specially, espeically when it comes to sports.

26:20 - Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Jon Wallace joined us to offer more clarity on the Jonas Valanciunas situation. And even after all the moves him and Tenzer have made so far, what deficiencies does the team still have? We asked him what his next move(s) will be.

7-16-25 Hour 2 - Overvaluing someone based on name/Cowherd is bullish on Broncos/Wyndahm Clark's ban

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 16:19:33 +0000

0:00 - Already, Arch Manning is emerging as a legitimate Heisman contender. Are we overvaluing him because of his name? Can we pump the brakes on the Manning Hype Train just a bit? How often do we raise a player's stock because of their last name?

17:16 - Cowherd is bullish on the Broncos. The sky's the limit in Year 2 for Bo Nix. 12 wins? 13 wins? Totally reasonable expectation. Do we agree?

33:36 - Wyndham Clark has been banned from Oakmont Country Club for angrily destroying a locker during the U.S. Open last month. He'll be able to return if he pays for the damages, makes a charitable donation to an organization selected by the Oakmont board...and completes anger management counseling. 2 of those seem reasonable. 1 of them doesn't.

7-16-25 Hour 1 - Ben Tenzer expects Valanciunas to play/MLB ASG is still king/Jahdae Barron finally signed!

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Ben Tenzer joined PHD yesterday and offered his side of Jonas Valanciunas situation.

17:04 - The MLB All-Star game is still the King of Exhibitions. Last night's game was awesome, and no other leagues have a comparable All-Star game. Not even close. Why is that?

34:45 - Broncos first round draft pick Jahdae Barron finally signed his rookie deal! RJ Harvey is the last remaining unsigned rookie. That Texans 2nd-round draft pick who signed a full guaranteed deal really muddied the waters for everyone.

7-15-25 Hour 3 - Scottie Scheffler's outlook on life/No mountain lions, no snakes/A custom beer for Moser

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 16:42:46 +0000

0:00 - Scottie Scheffler spoke to the media about what motivates him...or doesn't. It's a strange outlook to have on life, sports, and competition.

13:51 - A man in Rochester, NY saw a mountian lion, then recounted the experience to a local news station. Turns out, he's not a fan. Just like how our very own Vic Lombardi isn't a fan of snakes on the golf course.

30:08 - Brett's friends over at LanchPad Brewing are celebrating 10 years of business! They brewed a custom beer for our show, and the name comes at Moser's expense. Even though it's historically accurate.

7-15-25 Hour 2 - Vic's "Midlife" Crisis/Teddy Bridgewater in hot water/Can MPJ be an All-Star in Brooklyn?

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 16:32:04 +0000

0:00 - Vic is currently going through a midlife crisis. Brett questions if it's truly MID-life.

11:25 - Teddy Bridgewater has been suspended from his high school football coaching job for giving "impermissable benefits" to his players. Brett thinks the punishment doesn't necessarily fit the crime.

30:18 - Can MPJ become an All-Star in his first season in Brooklyn? Will it potentially be easier for him in his new role?

7-15-25 Hour 1 - Home Run Derby: Yay or Nay?/Trust the Nugs Brain Trust/Broncos rookies still unsigned

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 16:22:39 +0000

0:00 - Are you a fan of the Home Run Derby? Brett's a derby sicko, Moser hates it, and Vic's somewhere in the middle.

20:18 - A few shorts weeks ago, we couldn't BELIEVE the Nuggets established this weird Co-GM Vice Presidents thing. The reaction wasn't particularly positive. Now, after all these roster moves, Nuggets Nation has complete faith in them. Quite the turnaround!

35:43 - Rookies are scheduled to report to Broncos training camp tomorrow, and yet multiple Rookies haven't signed a contract yet (including Jahdae Barron and RJ Harvey). We weren't worried about this before. Should we be concerned now?

7-14-25 Hour 3 - Moser's Letter to Greece/Ant running his mouth, Rox draft Ethan Holliday/Brett's McRant

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 16:18:57 +0000

0:00 - Now that Jonas Valanciunas is officially a Nugget, Moser wrote a letter to Greece to express some deep feelings he's having.

18:23 - Anthony Edwards is running his mouth again and talking trash about the Nuggets. But the worst part is...we can't really say anything about it. Also, the Rockies drafted Ethan Holliday in the MLB Draft. If you're Matt, how do you feel about your son going to the Rockies given the current state of the organization?

33:53 - Brett experienced something this weekend that's completely unacceptable in America. We used to be a country. A proper country.

7-14-25 Hour 2 - MPJ on "plateauing" in Denver/Too many Christmas Day games/Who the heck is on the Titans?

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - MPJ is in Vegas hanging out at Summer League. During a media scrum, he was asked what he meant when he said he "plateaued" in Denver.

14:36 - Now that the NFL is taking over Christmas Day...there are too many games on that day. Officially. Whatever happened to watching like 1 game and hanging out with your family?

33:47 - The Broncos will open the 2025 season on the road at the Titans. In the words of Marc Moser, that's a BIG TIME WIN. Right now...top of your head...name 5 players on the Titans roster. And you can only name 1 QB. Heck, can you name their head coach?

7-14-25 Hour 1 - Rox draft Holliday, Valanciunas official/Jokic Bro at Summer League/LeBron's leaving

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - With the 4th pick in the MLB draft, the Colorado Rockies selected Ethan Holliday. His dad, Matt, still hasn't touched home plate. Also, the Valanciunas trade is finally officially official. He's a member of your Denver Nuggets, baby.

15:34 - Strahinja Jokić showed up at Summer League over the weekend. Couple things. First of all, that dude is still an absolute UNIT my goodness. Second of all, why was he in the building? What's he doing there? Also, it's the offseason...let's dig into another QB rankings list. Where does Bo Nix stack up? What are we expecting from him in 2025?

37:22 - LeBron's definitely leaving the Lakers...right? Everything he's been saying and doing lately makes it seem like he's working his way out.

7-11-25 Hour 3 - Brett hates Big Bang Theory/RGIII calls Bo Nix "Most underrated QB in NFL/DRUNK TAKES

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 16:35:40 +0000

0:00 - Brett Kane...not a fan of remakes, spin-offs, or the Big Bang Theory. Bazinga.

14:25 - RGIII said Bo Nix is the "most underrated QB in the NFL." Welcome to the party, pal.

34:16 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAKES!

7-11-25 Hour 2 - OKC vs The Aprons/Grading Broncos offseason, "Out of Shape" players/DaRon Holmes' Re-Debut

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 16:25:34 +0000

0:00 - OKC is printing money for their core players. They're paying 3 dudes like $800 millon dollars. That'll work for now, but they'll be catapulted into the 2nd apron in a year or two. They'd better win now, because they'll be paying the piper soon.

12:35 - Have the Broncos had a good offseason so far? Also, can we stop body shaming athletes who show up to training camp with a "Dad Bod" please? Who cares what they look like if they ball out when the season starts?

31:01 - DaRon Holmes II (fittingly) made his 2nd debut with the Nuggets last night in Summer League. How did he look?

7-11-25 Hour 1 - Holmes looked GOOD in Summer League/Greece is ON THE LIST/Best & Worst Anthem Renditions

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 16:13:58 +0000

0:00 - DaRon Holmes FINALLY played basketball again last night. He suited up with the Nuggets Summer League squad and he looked GOOD doin it.

15:14 - Alright, these Panathinaikos fans are really starting to get on Vic's nerves. HEY GREECE! YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!

34:16 - There was a...strange rendition of the National Anthem before the Orioles game yesterday. It got is thinking - what are some of the best & worst national anthem renditions we've heard?

7-10-25 Hour 3 - Savannah Bananas: Yay or Nay?/Rather play CSU or Nebraska?/DJ got DFA'd

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:15:28 +0000

0:00 - Are you a fan of the Savannah Bananas? Do you like Banana Ball? Or is it an insult to the sport of baseball?

19:51 - Rick George thinks CU should play Nebraska in football every year because it's "good for the game." CU fans of the world - if you could only pick one...would you rather play CSU or Nebraska every year?

36:01 - Our old Rockies friend DJ LeMahieu got DFA'd by the Yankees. Most people look at Arenado getting shipped off to St. Louis as the beginning of the end. Vic says it was actually losing DJ.

7-10-25 Hour 2 - All eyes on DaRon Holmes tonight/Marvin Mims in elite company/Prime as a coach, not a dad

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - NBA Summer League begins tonight & all eyes will be on DaRon Holmes. Will he turn into the backup center that the Nuggets drafted him to be? But more importantly...how do you accurately assess talent during Summer League games? How do you evaluate players properly?

14:06 - Brett has a stat that proves Marvin Mims is in elite company. Can he stay in that group this season?

32:29 - This season, Deion Sanders can be just a Coach instead of being a Coach and a Father at the same time. He knows this, and he's looking forward to it.

7-10-25 Hour 1 - Deion speaks at Big 12 Media Days/NIL salary cap, silly NBA money/MPJ bids Denver farewell

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 15:55:07 +0000

0:00 - Deion Sanders spoke at Big 12 Media Days yesterday. He spoke about the portal, his health, and torillas...even though he still can't pronounce the word "tortilla."

21:32 - More from Prime at Media Day...if you want to level the NIL playing field in college football, Prime says the sports needs a salary cap that mimicks pro sports. Also, NBA paydays keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. Look at what OKC is offering up to their superstars.

36:34 - Yesterday, MPJ uploaded an 11-minute video to his YouTube channel bidding farewell to Denver. He shed some light his time with the Nuggets, what Coach Malone did for him, and how severe his shoulder injury was. We'll miss you, Mike.

7-09-25 Hour 3 - Dumb bike helmets, new Broncos stadium/Vic cited on EuroHoops site/Judge Brett Kane's ruling

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 16:30:53 +0000

0:00 - Can we stop it with these dumb "aerodynamic" bike helmets that are all pointy and stupid looking? Do they really give you an advantage at all? Also, Vic has some more info about the (alleged) new location of the Broncos stadium.

18:54 - A top EuroHoops website used a quote from Vic Lombardi in an article about the whole Valanciunas situation. But they misinterpreted his quote and claimed he said something he didn't actually say. Plus, they didn't appreciate our sarcastic tone.

34:26 - Tamar Bates, one of the newest Nuggets, is a lifelong Chiefs fan. Can he swallow his pride and root for the Broncos while he's in Denver? Also, let's take the Valaniunas situation to the Altitude Sports Radio Court. Honorable Judge Brett Kane presiding. We need a ruling once and for all.

7-09-25 Hour 2 - Moser's abandonment issues/Ex-NHLer throws punches while golfing/Greeks invade our show

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 16:18:47 +0000

0:00 - Moser's really taking this whole Jonas Valanciunas situation personally. Yesterday, Katy Winge said it might be rooted in some deeper issues...

14:59 - Ex-NHL player Nick Tarnasky was golfing this weekend and someone picked a fight with him on the course. Terrible idea. Turns out...former NHLers are still tough dudes.

30:55 - The Greeks have completely and totally invaided our show across Twitch, YouTube, Twitter/X, you name it. Their onslaught has been swift and fierce.

7-09-25 Hour 1 - Moser vs. the Nation of Greece/Dave Hakstol joins the Avs/Jokic doesn't sign extension

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Evidently, the entire Nation of Greece wants Moser's head on a stake. What a fascinating 24 hours on Twitter.

20:55 - Former Seattle Kraken Head Coach Dave Hakstol has joined the Avalanche staff as an assistant. Can he help get the PP back on track?

35:17 - Nikola Jokic opted not to sign his contract extension this offseason. Instead, he'll wait till next offseason. We're not worried about it. In fact, it's what we all expected.

7-08-25 Hour 3 - Would You Rather: NFL QBs?/Hard to accurately scout talent/Judging players by their money

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 16:20:25 +0000

0:00 - Let's play Would You Rather! Today's edition involves NFL QBs. Would you rather have Bo Nix or [insert QB here]?

15:15 - Talent scouts have such a tough job. How do you watch some high schooler playing and accurately judge if they're headed for greatness?

31:56 - Kris Bryant has officially passed Russell Wilson for the worst contract in Colorado sports history. Where will Jamal Murray's contract rank, either good or bad, in the history of Colorado sports contracts? Players will always be judged by the money they make, for better or worse.

7-08-25 Hour 2 - Iconic sports arenas & stadiums/Can we reach Lithuania?/Valanciunas will set a precedent

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 16:00:08 +0000

0:00 - What are some of the most iconic venues/arenas/stadiums in sports history? Which ones have we visited?

17:58 - Why is it so hard to get info from Lithuania? We can't figure out what's happening over there? Can someone get Lithuania on the line?

34:51 - Valanciunas' decision doesn't just affect the Nuggets. It'll affect the NBA as a whole. If he's allowed to dip for Greece, it'll set a precedent for how we handle contracts.

7-08-25 Hour 1 - Is Valanciunas in or out??/Greatest Sports Empires/Bo Nix: MVP Dark Horse?

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 15:55:08 +0000

0:00 - Come on, man. Why haven't we heard anything about Valanciunas yet? This song and dance is getting tired.

16:35 - What are some of the greatest sports empires in history?

33:28 - Is Bo Nix a legit dark horse candidate for MVP? What would it take for Bo to get there?

7-07-25 Hour 3 - Greatest draft pick at each position/Need clarity from Valanciunas camp/KB bad to worse

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 16:23:16 +0000

0:00 - It's Summer Sports Radio, baby! That means it's time for some piping hot lists. Berto found a list that ranked the greatest NFL draft picks of all time at each spot (Greatest #1 pick ever, #2 pick ever, etc). Who is the greatest #1 overall pick of all time?

15:25 - We need some clarity from the Valanciunas camp ASAP. Does he want to win here with Jokic or not? But it has to come directly from the source.

31:43 - Even though the Rockies suck, they still packed Coors Field over the 4th of July Weekend against the garbage White Sox! Turns out, an embarrassingly bad season won't keep people away from 20th and Blake. Also, Kris Bryant's back has gone from bad to worse. Will he ever step foot on a baseball diamond again?

7-07-25 Hour 2 - Vic's snake infestation, Valanciunas to Greece?/Zach Allen ranked #90/Fully guaranteed NIL

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 16:00:09 +0000

0:00 - Vic keeps finding snakes in his house. Yikes. Why'd it have to be snakes? Also, why would Jonas Valanciunas choose to play basketball in Greece instead of the NBA?

18:02 - The NFL is releasing their annual Top 100 list, and Zach Allen came in at #90. If he's the 90th best player in the NFL, you're gonna have to pay him, right? PAY him.

33:36 - A Texas Tech player signed a 3-year FULLY GUARANTEED NIL DEAL. Yet again, the line between college sports and pro sports continues to blur.

7-07-25 Hour 1 - Valalnciunas will he-won't he?/DMac is a fireworks snitch/Brent Burns signs with the Avs

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 15:55:08 +0000

0:00 - Jonas Valanciunas is a Nugget now...or is he? Supposedly, he wants to play ball in Greece instead. That would require the Nuggets to buy him out of his NBA contract and free him up. That was a weird story that emerged over the weekend. If Valanciunas doesnt want to be here, do we want him?

15:09 - DMac called the cops on some kids who set off fireworks in his neighborhood. Was he justified? The Man Himself joins our show to defend himself.

33:28 - Brent Burns is now a member of the Avalanche. Do we like the addition? Can Burnsie help with the defensive depth?

Altitude Summer Scramble: Raj & Moser

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 18:00:08 +0000

Altitude Summer Scramble: Kane & Dempsey

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 18:00:08 +0000

The Altitude Summer scramble is fueled by Le Peep! If you haven’t had Le Peep, your day is not complete. Happy 4th of July weekend!

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 16:35:04 +0000

0:00 - You've waited...you've asked for it...and now it's time...for the return...OF FAMILY FEUD!

18:23 - Right now, we have good feeling about the Avalanche, Nuggets, and Broncos all at the same time. That's rare. When was the last time you felt good about 3 of our local teams all at the same time? Was there are time when you felt good about all 4, including the Rockies?

33:15 - A new picture of Christian Braun is circulating and he looks JACKED. Dude's been hitting the weight room. What can we expect from CB this upcoming season?

7-02-25 Hour 2 - In fairness to Calvin Booth.../All these Nugs move are amazing/ESPN on "supporting Jokic"

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 16:23:46 +0000

0:00 - Brett says Calvin Booth isn't without criticism, BUT we're maybe hammering him a bit too hard. In fairness to Booth, he never actually got to see his vision carried out. He and Michael Malone sabotaged each other. Mutually assured destruction.

16:00 - If you looked at any ONE of the Nuggets moves from the past 48 hours, you'd say, "Wow, the team got better!" And somehow, the Nuggets made FOUR of those moves.

34:13 - Let's take a live look at ESPN right now. The current topic: have the Nuggets done enough to "support Jokic."

7-02-25 Hour 1 - Greatest Nuggets offseason ever?/Finally...a backup center!/Meanwhile, Avs haven't done much

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 16:13:27 +0000

0:00 - With all the moves the Nuggets made yesterday, is this the greatest offseason of all time? Especially when you consider the Jokic window, the lack of depth, and the cap issues.

16:16 - The Nuggets...finally have a competent backup center? Who can fill non-Jokic minutes effectively? So Jokic doesn't have to play 100 minutes every night? Really?

36:38 - Meanwhile, back on the farm, the Avs haven't done much of anything in free agency. What can they do? Should we expect to see more moves anytime soon?

7-01-25 Hour 3 - NBA Free Agency heating up/Milwaukee waives Dame Lillard/Nico needs to shut it, Bucks' plan?

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 16:47:12 +0000

0:00 - NBA Free Agency is heating up! Who do the Nuggets still have a chance at grabbing? Who got snatched off the market already?

14:56 - The news broke during our show that the Milwaukee Bucks waived Dame Lillard. Wow. The Dame Time Era ends with a whimper in Milwaukee.

34:00 - Nico Harrison needs to stop flapping his gums ASAFP. Also, we still can't get over the Bucks straight up waiving Dame Lillard. What's next for Mulwaukee? What's next for Dame?

7-01-25 Hour 2 - Avs & Nugs similar trade moves/One Final Stepback J Kabloom/Avs could pick up the Scraps

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 16:28:58 +0000

0:00 - Over the past year, the Avs & Nugs both made comparable trades that follow a similar philosophy.

15:42 - Now that MPJ's time in Denver is done, let's ride off into the sunset together by playing Stepback J Kabloom in its entirety one final time.

36:25 - Florida and Vegas are WAY over the cap right now. Could the Avs potentially pounce on a few cap casualty players from around the league?

7-01-25 Hour 1 - MPJ traded, Bruce Brown back/Faith in New Nugs Brain Trust?/More room to improve

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 16:22:34 +0000

0:00 - Yesterday, Michael Porter Jr was traded to Brooklyn AND the Nuggets brought back Bruce Brown. Happy trails, MPJ. We wish you the best. No hard feelings on our end. Good luck in the Big Apple.

20:11 - With the moves that happened yesterday, do you have any more faith in the New Nuggets Two-Headed brain trust?

35:48 - After offloading MPJ's salary, the Nuggets have a good chunk of cap space to play with. They hae room to make even more changes to this roster.

6-30-25 Hour 3 - Brucey B is playing with our hearts/Wood & Coyle to Columbus, Air Bud/NHL & NBA Free Agency

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:43:38 +0000

0:00 - Brucey B HAS to sign with Denver at this point. You can't keep posting these little teasers on social media and not end up here. Please, Brucey, don't toy with us.

16:24 - Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood are now members of the Columbus Blue Jackets, in a trade that was essentially a salary dump. What's next for the Avs? Also, let's do a deep dive into the classic beloved franchise that's universally accepted as the peak of Western Cinema: Air Bud.

35:26 - With both NHL and NBA Free Agency around the corner, do we expect to see our local teams in the mix at all?

6-30-25 Hour 2 - Low draft pick, high impact/NBA Free Agent targets/Breaking NFL News!

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:18:17 +0000

0:00 -

17:29 -

33:55 -

6-30-25 Hour 1 - Happy Trails, Coyne & Wood/Malik Beasley under investigation/VGK courting Mitch Marner

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 16:10:37 +0000

0:00 - Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood were traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday. What's the next move for the Avalanche? Moving Coyle and Wood seems like the first step in a bigger plan.

15:36 - Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for allegedly betting on NBA games. It seems like one of these investigations pops up ever year or so. Sports betting isn't going anywhere, so what can the league do to fix this issue?

37:07 - Mitch Marner is leaving the Leafs and hitting the free agent market. Supposedly, the Golden Knights want to sign him. But if he takes his talents to Vegas, the Maple Leafs have a way to fight back.
