Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - Ace Bailey said he didn't want the Utah Jazz to take him, and then they drafted him. He hasn't made his way to Salt Lake City yet. Will this turn into an Eli Manning situation?14:42 - The ESPY Nominations were released and lots of Colorado/Denver athletes made the list! Who's most likely to win?32:59 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAKES

0:00 - The PAC-12 is adding teams and regaining some momentum. So...who's in the conference now? How many teams?14:42 - Yesterday, a headline on ESPN said "Are the Nuggets failing Jokic?" What does that mean? What is "failure" for both of our local teams?32:03 - Who's the best sports movie actor: Dennis Quaid or Kevin Costner?

0:00 - The NBA Draft is in the books, and the Nuggets didn't make any wild moves to trade into the action. But, they did sign a few players to 2 way contracts. 17:05 - The Buffalo Sabres are shopping Bowen Byram and supposedly, the Avs are in the mix. Do you want to see Bo back in Denver?29:39 - What are sports that old people (like Vic and Mose) can actually play?

0:00 - Why haven't the Broncos signed Jahdae Barron yet? Let's ask our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold to see if he has any insight?15:10 - The Rockies made a front office change...and instituded more of the same, somehow.32:42 - Nikola Jokic is changing the way that Centers play basketball. He's revolutionized the position. The first round Centers taken in the draft yesterday have modeled their game after Joker.

0:00 - Rumor has it - Jonathan Drouin will hit the open market and take his chances elsewhere.16:13 - The Broncos haven't signed Jahdae Barron yet. Should we be concerned about this? Is it a Shemar Stewart Bengals situation?35:14 - The NHL has begun negotiations on the new CBA. One propsed change: no more player dress code.

0:00 - The NBA Draft is underway and the Nuggets weren't involved in any Round 1 trickery. Also, Malika Andrews got a little tongue tied and gave us a funny moment.16:05 - With Round 1 of the NBA draft in the books, did anyone get significantly better?34:02 - The Rockies lost in a weird, rainy, frustrating game yesterday. Shocker. Also, the NHL has started working on negotiations for the next CBA. What is the league hoping to implement?

0:00 - Genuinely...why does ANYONE care what the Morris Twins have to say about basketball ESPEICALLY when it comes to NIKOLA JOKIC? Quit putting these clown hacks on my TV screen.15:11 - Evander Kane has been traded to the Vancouver Canucks, and he announced in on social media himself! Before any beat writers got the chance to do it. Also, should the Nuggets get involved in any draft night trades? Any NBA Draft Trickery, even though they don't have a pick?32:46 - The NCAA is considering expanding March Madness to include even MORE teams. Do we like this idea? Will that help of hurt the tourney?

0:00 - If you could pick any NBA player right now to build a franchise around, who would you pick? Schoolyard pick style? Who's your first off the board?11:57 - Aaron Rodgers used to be universally beloved and revered in NFL circles. Now, he's overstayed his welcome and everyone's kinda sick of him. Has anyone else followed his same trajectory?32:13 - There Nuggets have a good relationship with Nikola Jokic. Josh Kroenke told Vic Lombardi & Katy Winge as much yesterday.

0:00 - OMG JOSH KROENKE SAID THE NUGGETS ARE TRADING WHO???? Stop it. A soundbite from yesterday is spreading through the sports wording and everyone's taking it WAY out of context.16:25 - Jon Wallace spoke about his philosophy for next Nuggets season, and it sounds similar to something David Adelman said at his intro presser.35:40 - The NFL Is investigating if owners have been colluding to not guarantee enough money in their contracts. Under this investigation, some details surfaced about the Broncos' negotiations with Russell Wilson back in 2022.

0:00 - Videos are going around of OKC fans berating Pacers fans on the way out of the arena after OKC won the title. Be proud of your victory, but you don't need to rudely shove it in everyone's faces.13:11 - Winning requires plenty of talent and skill, but it also requires a decent amount of luck. The Nuggets had it when they won, and OKC had it this year on their title run.31:00 - Watching the Panthers and Thunder get obliterated during the celebrations of their championship makes us miss the days when our local teams were hammered on parade...We want to stay on parade, man. We really do. 

0:00 - Brett learned a valuable lesson recently: everyone on the Internet is an expert in everything INCLUDING how to properly construct an NBA front office. The angry mob doesn't like the Nuggets Co-GM strategy, and they're all experts on the subject, so they're all correct. Bob Myers was the only candidate, and the Nuggets blew it. At least Brett understands it now!14:15 - Colin Cowherd has an idea to reduce all these Achilles injuries in the NBA: shorter the playoffs.33:44 - Who are the best "Dickie"s in sports history?

0:00 - Do you trust the new arrangement of the Nuggets front office? The Co-GM thing? More importantly, why shouldn't you trust them? Hasn't the ownership group done enough to earn your trust/the benefit of the doubt?17:06 - Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace have one job and one job only: get AT LEAST one more championship in the Jokic era. The goal, the purpose, the motivation has to be the same for both of them. The message from ownership needs to be crystal clear. Get Jokic another or else.After that, golfer Matt Schalk joins the program! He was once a Nuggets ball boy with Vic Lombardi, and now he's a golfing at the Boardmoor in the Senior Open. 34:55 - All 4 of our local teams have insanely tough paths to the playoffs. They all play in the toughest divisions of their respective sports. Yet, the expectations of each team are different. The Broncos are probably in the best situation right now.

0:00 - The Nuggets didn't hire Bob Myers to be their GM. Instead, they hired 2 people to be co-GMs, more or less. Why didn't they shoot for a splashy hire?15:26 - Aaron Rodgers claims to be married, and yet we haven't seen any signs of his wife anywhere. He was walking alone on the beach this weekend. We don't even have a name of this woman. Not that it matters, but wouldn't we have heard something by now? Did Rodgers get Manti Te'o'd? Is he Manti Te'o-ing us?35:08 - LeBron went on a podcast and said he isn't a fan of rings culture. Players shouldn't be judged on the rings they do or don't have.

0:00 - Conor McDavid spoke to the media about his future in Edmonton and he dropped some all-time great vague "I might be staying, but I might be leaving" statements.13:24 - Why do we hate OKC? It was tough/impossible to rally behind them throughout the playoffs. Usually, we hate teams that have been title contenders for years, but OKC is new on the scene.32:58 - The Jaguars made NFL history over the weekend with a particular contract signing. Also, the Buss Family sold the Lakers over the weekend and had a record-setting payday.

0:00 - The OKC Thunder are your 2025 NBA Champions! And yet, that squad is so unlikable? Why? Are we still bitter that they bounced the Nuggets?17:29 - The Nuggets haven't officially hired a GM, but they hired 2 people that will serve as co-GMs essentially? The news broke during our show, and we're figuring it all out in real time.36:14 - If the Nuggets have a pair of GMs, more or less, how will that power dynamic work? Who gets final say?

He broke down his squad's Coach, QB, and offense, and told us what he's looking to accomplish next season.14:22 - Edmonton has made it to the Final two years in a row and lost twice. To go through that mental and physical toll TWICE with nothing to show for it is brutal. Can they make it a 3rd time? Or has the window closed for McDavid to get his hardware?34:22 - A guest on the Kreckman and Lindahl show had an...interesting way to describe the Rockies yesterday.

0:00 - With the Panthers winning the Stanley Cup last night, Canada's cup drought continues. They haven't brought Lord Stanley north of the border since 1993. That's WILD. Statistically, that seems pretty improbable.14:08 - Every year after the Stanley Cup Finals wrap up, players on both teams rattle off a laundry list of injuries they've been playing with. It's always way more guys than you'd expect playing through worse injuries than you'd expect. Matthew Tkachuk wins the Grit award this year.33:03 - Broncos chose to bolster their defense this offseason more so than their offense. But there's a method to Sean Payton's madness.

0:00 - RAWR CATS RAWR. For the 2nd straight year, the Florida Panthers beat the Edmonton Oilers to keep Lord Stanley in South Florida. Good for them. It's tough to keep a cup team together.21:46 - THE ROX BATS ARE HEATIN' UP BABYYYYYY! DON'T LET THE BOYS GET HOT! Also, Connor McDavid is arguably the best hockey player on planet earth. He'll go down in NHL history as one of the greats. BUT, he still doesn't have a Stanley Cup to his name. Will he even win one? Will he get another chance? Who are some of the greatest athletes to never win a championship?38:14 - Do you want to buy game-worn equipment from your Colorado Avalanche? You'll have a chance this weekend.

0:00 - The 2026 Winter Olympics already announced the hockey groups and schedule for ther group play. The USA got LUCKY and drew a really easy group, according to Moser. Plus, we're announcing a HUGE Nuggets-related giveaway contest that could earn you some sweet gear.14:24 - Brett's sick of all these dumb narratives pushed by the NBA media. Why don't they exist in other sports?32:43 - Vic's boy Andrea Bocelli will be at Ball Arena tonight. Or maybe he'll be at the Catalina Wine Mixer.

0:00 - If the Panthers stick to their brand of hockey and play like they've been playing recently, the Cup is staying in South Florida. Edmonton doesn't stand a chance. Who will be between the pipes for the Oilers? Skinner or Avalanche legend Calvin Pickard?14:57 - Rick Bucher proposed a trade scenario that would send Jamal Murray to the Suns and KD to the Nuggets. Do we like that? Would it fix the Nuggets problems?31:30 - Will Smith released a new song, and the lyrics are...weird. Especially for a man the same age as Marc Moser. 

0:00 - Vic's seen enough. He's SICK of OKC and seeing their dumb faces and their dumb flopping and that dumb crowd chat. But you know what the worst part is? They're totally set up for the future. They ain't goin anywhere.20:55 - Brett just wanted to talk about the Rox for like 2 minutes! That's it! And somehow, that was too much according to the other 2/3 of this show.37:39 - Last night, we witness a historic performance in the College World Series. Could that player potentially end up on the Rockies?

0:00 - Moser explains how the Nuggets might have to take a step back this year to take a step forward next year. Big picture, people. Big picture!15:30 - Could Jonathan Toews end up with the Avs? Colorado is on his short list of ideal landing spots. 34:08 - Vic went down a rabbit hole of one of the wildest NBA MVP races in league history.

0:00 - Brett didn't get a chance to react to the news of Westbrook declining his player option...because Brett died on Friday, according to Berto. What does he think of the development?15:22 - The US Open went to a rain delay, so NBC started re-airing Tiger Woods' dominant performance in the 2008 US Open. Man, we forgot just how good that guy was at his peak. Also, the blockbuster Desmond Bane trade between Memphis and Orlando could have a ripple effect throughout the league.32:06 - The NBA Finals looks awfully familiar. It reminds us of a similar playoff series from a month ago...

0:00 - Of all the insanity from the sporting weekend that was, Vic said the craziest thing was the blockbuster Desmond Bane trade between Memphis and Orlando. The terms of the deal make no sense, especially since 1st round draft picks don't matter that much anymore (according to Vic).21:39 - Kaner was right about Rory McIlroy the whole time. This weekend provided even more evidence.36:25 - Gabe Landeskog was officially named to Sweden's Olympic hockey team for the 2026 Winter Games. He's not just back. He's BACK back.

That's how he passed the time during the '04-'05 NHL lockout. 17:02 - Edmonton pulled off a thrilling improbable comeback against the Panthers last night. How much of it, including the game-winning goal, was pure luck? Even if it was luck, does it matter?35:27 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAKES

0:00 - Russell Westbrook has declined his player option with the Nuggets and will become an unrestricted free agent. That doesn't mean his days in Denver are over, since he could still re-sign here. Do you want him back if he asks for more money?17:28 - Turns out, Vic Lombardi's garage has more than cars in it. It also contains snakes now. Plural. 33:51 - Berto found one of these classic offseason QB ranking lists and Bo Nix is smack dab in the middle of the pack. The author said he's "boring." What does that mean? Is Bo Nix a boring quarterback?

0:00 - Berto is in today for the late great Brett Kane...who's not dead. Seriously. Kaner's still alive.17:06 - Last night's Oilers vs Panthers game was an instant classic! Shoutout Avalanche legend Calvin Pickard for a stellar performance between the pipes.36:46 - Did you know Berto got run over? Yeah, he was hit by a car. That's what it feels like to be a Rockies fan. Also, have you ever felt an earthquake?

0:00 - Jeff Legwold joined us before he attends the last day of Broncos mandatory mini-camp. What has he seen the past couple days? How will the RB room distribute snaps now that JK Dobbins is on the roster?20:10 - What the heck are the Knicks doing? They fired their coach, now they're asking other NBA teams if they can interview their head coach. Head coaches that are already employed as the head coach of a different NBA team? That's the best you've got? Also, looking at the NBA Finals, Brett said the Pacers remind him a lot of the 2004 Detroit Pistons. 33:07 - Tyrese Haliburton was voted "most overrated" in an anonymous poll of NBA players. With the Pacers 2 wins away from a championship, is he still overrated? Is he better than Jamal Murray? 

0:00 - Andy Lindahl was at Broncos camp yesterday. Let's pick his brain! What did he see? How will KJ Dobbins slot into the offense?17:04 - Cale Makar won the Norris Trophy. There are too many trophy names in hockey. Can something just be named "Offensive Player of the Year" or whatever?31:38 - The Rockies had a lead late in the game last night...and the bullpen blew it. Can you believe it?? I certainly can't. 

0:00 - The Indiana Pacers keep finding a way to win games. Every night, someone different steps up and helps the starters. Last night, it was Mathurin off the bench. They've been able to do what the Nuggets couldn't: get consistent production from their "other guys."16:59 - The Broncos ownership is (allegedly - gotta put that in there to cover our butts right?) is buying up land in Denver where a new stadium could go. It's in Denver proper. Vic was right. The Broncos can never leave the city.35:48 - What will JK Dobbins' exact role be on the team? Whose reps will he "take?" Estime? MgLaughin?

0:00 - In honor of the Rockies, what are the worst/most embarrassing seasons of all time for the Nuggets, Avalanche, and Broncos? During this segment, news broke that Cale Makar won his 2nd Norris Trophy. 17:07 - Let's look at the Norris Trophy voting breakdown. How many people didn't have Cale in first place?

Vic, Moser, and Nelly didn't understand the rules very well, but we got through it somehow.

0:00 - Yesterday, the US Men's Soccer National Team lost 4-0 TO SWITZERLAND. What on earth are we doing here? Will the USA Men ever be good at soccer? Do we care if they're good or not? Should we care?15:34 -  Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart is holding out because the team still hasn't signed him yet. Why don't the Bengals ever want to pay defensive players?31:40 - The Nuggets haven't hired a GM yet. The NBA Draft is about 2 weeks away. Should we be concerned?

What does this mean for the RB room?16:07 - The Rockies went rull Rockies in the 9th inning and blew a multi-run lead to the Giants in Coors Field.

Avalanche Center Brock Nelson joined us today after landing in CO. He's out here looking for a permanent residence after signing a 3-year extension with the Avalanche. How's he handling the offseason? Has he been able to stomach watching any of the NHL playoffs after Colorado's early exit?

How's he handling the offseason? Has he been able to stomach watching any of the NHL playoffs after Colorado's early exit?19:48 - Someone on Twitter made a fake Moser commercial using AI. We claim to broadcast live every day, but are we sure? Our show might be AI RIGHT NOW! What are some ways to tell if we're humans?37:27 - Plenty of different people are proposing hypothetical trades that could "fix" the Nuggets. Are any of them worth it? Again, the bench depth is the problem. The starting 5 is not the problem. Are you willing to part ways with a starter to acquire more bench players?

0:00 - Yesterday, Coach and Raj laid out what it would take for Bo Nix to win league MVP. He'd need one heck of a season. It's a long shot...but let's indulge them for a second here.17:29 - The US Open begins later this week. Somehow, we ended up going down a rabbit hole of how to properly maintain the grass on a golf course.32:03 - Aaron Rodgers signed a "cheap" deal with the Steelers. Cheap for a QB, especially one with A-A-Ron's resume. It's worth roughly the same amount of money as Russell Wilson's deal with the Giants. Does this surprise anyone? What do we make of this?

0:00 - Edmonton couldn't hang with Florida last night, so they resorted to throwing punches left and right. They showered down firsts on Florida's head for the entire 3rd period.

0:00 - Over the weekend, Avs fans received some bad news. It's bad, but thankfully it's not terrible. After that, what's the standard for retiring a player's jersey? Will Melo's jersey hang in the Ball Arena rafters one day? Did Ray Bourque earn his spot there?19:41 - A court ruling over the weekend added another wrinkle to the vast NIL landscape of college athletics. 34:31 - Honestly...we kinda miss the days when college players were paid under the table. We all knew it was happening but couldn't **technically** prove it. Ignorance was bliss, wasn't it?

0:00 - Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final was a thriller on Friday! Brad Marchand buried it in 2OT for the Panthers to even up the series. His mom was going crazy in the stands, and Marchand had a funny way of describing her postgame.17:19 - The U.S. Open begins later this week, and we have a cool contest if you wanna get involved in the action.32:49 - What's more likely: The NBA Finals go to 7 games, or OKC wins 3 more games to end it in 5?

0:00 - Game 2 of the NBA Finals yet again reinforced Brett's theory that Jamal Murray is Tyrese Haliburton, Tyrese Haliburton is Jamal Murray.16:07 - Moser brought gifts for the boys this morning!

How will this affect the sports landscape & NIL?33:04 - There was a time when collegiate athletes didn't earn a single dime & it was damn near impossible to transfer. Now, they're getting massive paydays & transferring schools left and right. How did we end up here? Overall, are the changes good or bad for the sport?

0:00 - Yesterday at OTAs, someone asked Sean Payton about PSII saying he wants to play Flag Football in the Summer Olympics.

More importantly: Olympics Flag Football is stupid.13:42 - For years, Brett has tried to find an accurate player comparison for Jamal Murray. Yesterday, he figured it out. Jamal Murray is Tyrese Haliburton.35:31 - It's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAAAAAKES

0:00 - Game 1 of the NBA Finals looked a lot like Game 1 of Nuggets vs Thunder: the underdog battled back and pulled off an upset at the buzzer. Game 2 of Nuggets vs Thunder...went a lot differently. Can OKC learn from that series and adjust to Indiana in Game 2?15:17 - Yesterday at OTAs, Sean Payton spoke about Marvin Mims' development and what it takes to build a young player's confidence. At the end of this segment, the news broke that the Dallas Stars fired Head Coach Pete DeBoer.35:49 - Why did the Dallas Stars part ways with DeBoer after he got them back to the Western Conference Finals? Who might they replace him with? Will DeBoer have a job next season?

0:00 - The Cardiac Indiana Pacers did it again! Haliburton buried OKC in Game 1 of the Finals with another clutch buzzer-beater. They really feel like the team of destiny.17:14 - Top-heavy teams are no longer a formula for success in the NBA. The LeBron-Wade-Bosh era is over.

0:00 - Timberwolves Head Coach Chris Finch said he thinks his squad could use more depth. Really?

Whatever happened to Candlestick? Three Rivers Stadium? 32:06 - The news broke during our show that Brock Nelson is staying in Colorado! He signed a 3-year extension with the Avalanche.
