Moser, Lombardi and Kane

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. 

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.

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?

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...

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. 

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?

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

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. 

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?

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?

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. 

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?

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!

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. 

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!

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!

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.

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?

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)

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.

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?

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?

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?

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.

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. 

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.

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. 

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)

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)

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??

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. 

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?

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.

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?

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?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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. 

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.

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.

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?

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!

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?

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. 

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).

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?
