The man behind Cale Makar's record-setting contract extension joined us this morning: Avs GM Joe Sakic. What does it mean to both Joe and the Avs to have Cale locked up for (almost) another decade?

0:00 - What does Adam Schefter know about the Jonathon Cooper situation? Are Sean Patyon and George Paton setting the standard for roster building and using the practice squad effectively? How to the Rams have the cap space to sign Aaron Donald? What other NFL nibbles can Schefty give us as teams are claiming players off waivers?16:20 - There are a ton of college football games this weekend, and...Vic doesn't know what any of these schools are or where they're located.Also (in a different time than usual) Oh, by the way...Kevin O'Connor had NBA agent Aaron Turner on his podcast, and introduced him in a pretty savage way.Oh, by the way...what the heck is going on with Ketel Marte and the Arizona Diamondbacks??Oh, by the way...the Oakland Raiders had a 5-year span of missing on some LEGENDARY NFL players in the draft. 35:37 - Ryan Whitney, current podcast host and former NHL defenseman, had nothing but good things to say about Cale Makar's new contract on the latest episode of Spittin' Chiclets. 

0:00 - Jeff Legwold explained how the NFL will handle Jonathon Cooper while we await his trial, because there's a precedent for it. Bottom line is this: you have to treat it like he suffered a torn ACL in camp and will be out for the season. The Broncos have to prepare for the worst.17:00 - USC published a statement regarding the low attendance at their Week 0 game. Cry us a river, Trojans. LSU is sticking to their guns, and will allow the former NFL player to return to college football. The SEC is debating what to do with LSU if they won't budge. They'd never kick LSU out of the conference, right??CU begins their season on Thursday, and even though we know nothing about this team, we should expect the offense to look better. We should expect the QB to be more prepared. Is that fair?28:40 - The man behind Cale Makar's record-setting contract extension joined us this morning: Avs GM Joe Sakic. What does it mean to both Joe and the Avs to have Cale locked up for (almost) another decade?

0:00 - The right way to handle dead money: how the Broncos handled the Russell Wilson situation.The wrong way to handle dead money: what the Miami Dolphins are doing right now.15:39 - Last night, the Rockies lost in a truly heartbreaking way that still feels impossible. Hear how it sounded on the Orioles broadcast and the Rockies broadcast. The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat.Also, yesterday Sean Keeler asked Joe Sakic if the Avs are too "top heavy" after Cale's contract. That narrative has been floating around online in the past few days. Brett thinks that doesn't hold any water, especially in relation to the Makar extension.33:28 - Jonathon Cooper plead not guilty to all his charges yesterday, and his trial is set for mid-November. That's like 75% of the way through the regular season. What will the Broncos do? More importantly, how will the NFL handle this? 

0:00 - Yesterday, DMac asked George Paton if the Broncos roster cuts were impacted by anything they saw in preseason game #3. Honestly, we think they had their minds pretty much made up before the game. 15:51 - Mid-segment, a burning smell filled the building. We smelled it in studio, in the control room, in the hallways, in the offices, etc. It was everywhere. So we evacuated the building while the fire department investigated.40:41 - All clear! No fire in the building! We're all safe. Tell you what though...that fire captain was badass. Dude has an epic mustache. That alone was worth the price of admission.

0:00 - George Paton spoke last night after all the roster cuts. He was asked if the TE room showed him enough during the preseason, or if he needs to see more.Also, as of right now, the Broncos kept all 3 QBs on their roster. Brett thinks this is pointless. You really only need 1 backup, because if Bo gets hurt again (god forbid), you're screwed no matter who's backing him up.15:45 - Peyton Watson went on MPJ's podcast and shared his side of the story. He said he felt pressure last season to return from a hamstring injury that wasn't fully healed.Also, some people are mad about Cale Makar's monster contract extension because of the price tag. It's the most expensive contract in NHL history. When you have a player of Cale's caliber, you pay the man. It's that simple.33:07 - Oh, by the way...can Hollywood have an original thought? Or are we just gonna get infinite remakes/reboots of the same stuff forever?Oh, by the way...as far as we're concerned, Cole Carrigg can flip off as many Braves fans as he wants.Oh, by the way...Geoff Schwartz responded to Sean Payton's Twitter "clap back," as the youths would say. 

0:00 - The initial 53-man roster is finally set! Any surprises? Or did it all go like we expected it would?15:15 - Cale Makar signed a MONSTER contract extension on Friday. It's the largest contract in NHL history. And yet, Brett still thinks it's a team friendly deal for specific reason.34:15 - It's official. The worst kept secret in football is finally happening. Aaron Donald is coming out of retirement and returning to our coworkers, the LA Rams. 

0:00 - It's college football Week 0. Football is officially back in our lives. Do you have any spare change floating around your house? Moser will tell you exactly what to do with it...LAY IT DOWN!Also, last season we found out that Sam Ehlinger received offers from other teams. But he chose to stay in Denver as a backup. Why? Why didn't he take a chance elsewhere?18:02 - Connor Hellebuyck is done with Winnipeg, and has publicly requested a trade. Should the Avs go get him? Can they afford him? Is Hellebuyck an upgrade over their current goalie duo?35:01 - 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: Tom Holland and Zendayayaya, Shirtless Kyle Keefe, spear a large hog, and Scott Hastings' post-shower routine.

0:00 - Brett has tuned into every preseason Raiders game for one reason and one reason only: creeping on Fernando Mendoza. Is he NFL ready? Now that he has 3 games under his belt, will he be named the starter? Or should he sit behind Kirk Cousins for a bit?14:18 - Shannon Sharpe lamented the death of the NFL Pro Bowl, and blame the players themselves. Is he right? Why doesn't anyone take All-Star/Pro Bowl-type stuff seriously in any league anymore? (except for maybe MLB players?)31:37 - Oh, by the way...a man pretended to be a 49ers receiver online and scammed 26 people out of $1.3 million! Oh, by the way...a Dallas judge blocked the SEC and NCAA from preventing pro players from returning to college. How does this judge stuff all work? Who has the final say? How can some judge overrule the whole league?Oh, by the way...the Atlanta Braves did something yesterday that hasn't been done since September of 1889.

0:00 - On the show First Things First, Geoff Schwartz had a questionable take on Bo Nix and his ceiling/floor. His take was SO bad that it got community noted on Twitter! That actually happened. AND Sean Payton replied! Coach RARELY ever tweets, but he dusted off the ol' Twitter account to go to bat for Bo. 17:29 - Connor Hellebuyck has officially and publicly requested a trade out of the frozen hellscape of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Hero of Team USA is seeking greener pastures. Should the Avs acquire his services?34:24 - The new Seattle Seahawks owner addressed the media for the first time yesterday and revealed that he's a...lifelong Steelers fan. Yikes. Probably shoulda kept that one to yourself!

0:00 - If ESPN cuts Jeff Legwold, will he got back to college to play out the rest of his eligibility? For now, he's still our Broncos Insider. What can we expect from the final preseason game? Does Leggy have any intel on Jonathon Cooper, or how the organization plans to handle the situation? 18:16 - CU is opening their season at Georgia Tech next week. Look, it's one game. It's Week 1 and teams are still working out the kinks ESPECIALLY in the portal era when you don't know who the heck is on the roster. But all that being said...we're going to learn A LOT about the Buffs from that game. That game could set the tone for the season/Year 4 of Deion.35:07 - The news broke earlier today that the Avs and Cale Makar are nearing a contract extension. It's coming sooner rather than later. What's the price tag for Makar? He can get any number he wants, right? 

0:00 - Yesterday, Moser had a Bo Nix take that ruffled a lot of feathers on the Twitter/X Machine. Today, Moser attempted to defend his position. Was he successful? You be the judge. 12:57 - The Minnesota Timberwolves signed Jonathan Kuminga yesterday. Where does he slot into their plans? How will the Nuggets stack up against this revamped Wolves team?The NFL is officially retiring the Pro Bowl games. RIP the Pro Bowl. Gone, but never forgotten. What caused the decline of the Pro Bowl? It used to mean something. It used to be an honor!30:47 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies have introduced another gluttonous hotdog monstrosity to their menu. Would you attempt to eat all 2 feet of it?Oh, by the way...ESPN said they're removing the ticker at the bottom of the screen for college football broadcasts this year. Will you miss it? Are you pro or con ticker?Oh, by the way...speaking of ESPN, they sent a very strange push notification to everyone's phones last week. And we're a little shocked that THAT story was considered notification-worthy.

0:00 - The NFL released a statement about the hottest topic in football right now: players who want to return to college. And basically, their statement kicks the can down the road to the NCAA. They said "you figure it out." So what will the NCAA do?19:11 - Carmelo Anthony has a podcast, because every athlete with a pulse has one these days. He recently delved into an off-court activity he used for team bonding. When they needed to break out of a losing streak, they frequented a particular establishment. But his read on the situation is a flat out lie. 37:44 - Sean Payton spoke after practice yesterday, and answered (or didn't answer) everyone's questions in his classic Payton way. Good question. I appreciate the question, relative to you asking it.

0:00 - On Friday, Davis Webb got to call plays for Bo Nix for the first time in his (hopefully long and fruitful) Broncos career. What were Webb's initial impression of Bo in game action, albeit preseason?16:54 - MPJ went on a podcast (shocker) and said that letting KCP was the beginning of the decline for the 2023 Championship roster. Vic says that's a bit of revisionist history.Also, what would you do for a billion dollars? Would you put someone's life at risk? How far would you go?34:05 - Brett has some stats about the Rockies, but advanced metrics are for nerds. Who has time for that? Let's talk about something better instead, shall we?

0:00 - What does Sean Payton hate most in a QB? Turnovers. Giving the ball away. You what Bo Nix didn't do last year very much? Give the ball away.18:12 - Peyton Watson published a teary-eyed goodbye to Nuggets Nation on social media yesterday. He thanked a bunch of people, including the fans. But there's one notable person he didn't mention. Should we read the tea leaves here? Or are we making something out of nothing?32:50 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies are in serious danger of losing 100 games AGAIN. Mission 63 is teetering precariously after their recent losing streak.Oh, by the way...the Falcons QB situation has gone from bad to worse to impossibly bad.Oh, by the way...a German politican has a radical idea to strengthen the bond between the government and the public. But he's trying to bring everyone a little too close for comfort. Lots to undress here...

0:00 - Vance Joseph explained why the Broncos defense looked worse in Preseason Game #2 vs the Packers. Teams are figuring out how to create little cracks in the armor. How can the defense sharpen up in the final preseason game, and more importantly, the regular season?More importantly...why is Moser wearing a massive leather wristband today?17:32 - The SEC released another statement about the possibility of players leaving the pros to return to college. They're preventing anyone who's played in ANY pro league from rejoining their conference's schools. Yesterday, Kreckman and Lindahl said this is stupid. Treat the NCAA like a glorified minor league and let players jump between leagues, like you would in any other sport.35:28 - Did you watch the Dunkman Championship last night? Do you know what I'm talking about? If you don't know or don't care, you're on the same page as Brett.

0:00 - The ONE play in preseason showed us everything we need to know about Jaylen Waddle. He's ready to go. He'll get plenty of targets, and so will Courtland Sutton. After them...who's next in line? Will Troy Franklin step up? Will Marvin Mims ACTUALLY be used on OFFENSE? How about Pat Bryant?15:37 - It's time for our weekly check-in with ESPN's Adam Schefter! Why the HECK would the Browns name Deshaun Watson the starter? Does Schefty's phone always light up light a Christmas tree on roster cut-down day? What does he make of NFL players returning to college for another year?34:07 - It seems like every month, or even every week, the NCAA has to add/clarify a new rule. The college sports landscape as a whole is so fluid. I know we sound like a broken record at this point, but we're in uncharted waters, and the NCAA is dealing with a lot of unknowns.

0:00 - Someone clearly told Deshaun Watson to do some damage control after his awkward presser on Saturday. Can you believe how many different starting QBs the Browns have had since they (re)entered the league in 1999? Or even worse, how many they've had since they told Baker Mayfield to get bent? No one knows sports pain like the Detroit Lions. Well, except for the Cleveland Browns.22:43 - The SEC and Big 10 spoke up about the idea of pro football players being able to return to college. The NCAA has to step in and do something from the top. This can't be left to the specific conferences.34:16 - Oh, by the way...the San Diego Padres were just sold to, you guessed it, the co-founder and managing partner of a private equity firm! This is a weird trend in sports. It's equity firm or bust these days.Oh, by the way...the PGA Tour is tweaking their format starting in 2028, and both Vic and Moser are bigs fan of the change.Oh, by the way...have you ever heard a walkoff home run called in Hindi?

0:00 - How was your Sunday? Did you have a good weekend? It couldn't have been much worse than 49ers Owner Jed York's Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio. 17:34 - The current NBA CBA is a double-edged sword. It's created ultimate parity in the league! Gone are the days of Warriors-Cavs NBA Finals every single year. But also, it punishes teams for drafting and developing players into superstars. You can't reward a roster full of homegrown talent with lucrative contracts.36:56 - Bill Barnwell of ESPN wrote an article featuring 5 teams that are most likely to decline. They were playoff teams last year that could miss the playoffs this year. The Broncos were on the list, and his reasoning makes sense. So, how do the Broncos avoid significant regression?

0:00 - On Friday, Jaylen Waddle did what he does: caught the ball, planted his foot, switched directions, and racked up some YAC! The Broncos don't have another receiver who can do that. Man, he's gonna be a weapon for Bo. 17:01 - DeMar DeRozan took a team friendly deal to sign with the Nuggets. Right now, the only way you can play for the Nuggets is if you take a pay cut. That's it. Thankfully, DeRozan was willing to play ball. Pun intended.34:25 - 49ers Owner Jed York was arrested in Ohio for "engaging in prostitution." His charges also included a misdemeanor for "possessing criminal tools." What on earth is a criminal tool? Especially pertaining to prostitutuion?

0:00 - The Broncos lost 33-13 to the Packers in Preseason Game #2. Big whoop. Bo Nix came out for the first two drives, and the Broncos scored on both drives. One TD, one FG. The first team offense looks solid. Should Bo even play in the final preseason game?16:21 - Moser had a fun weekend full of Avalanche Alumni festivities. He caught up with Joe Sakic, and the elephant in the room is Cale's contract. Eventually, they're going to have to pay him. What's his value? How will they shed salary to make room?Also, do you want to see JK Dobbins play in the 3rd and final preseason game? Or do you trust him to be ready without it?29:51 - Oh, by the way...the Browns waived TE Dae'Quan Wright, so he's taking his talents to LSU. Going back to college.Oh, by the way...the Milwaukee Brewers have the best record in the MLB, and also have hit the least amount of homers in the MLB. That's some Billy Beane Ball right there.Oh, by the way...Scottie Sheffler played the first two rounds of the BMW Championship while riddled with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. YIKES. No wonder he finished 12th.

0:00 - The Broncos lost to the Packers 33-13 at Mile High in Preseason Game #2. Again, it's preseason. The final score doesn't matter. You know what DOES matter? How good Bo Nix and the 1s looked in the first two drives of the game.16:10 - Rich Paul has a podcast with Max Kellerman, because of COURSE he does, and he spoke about the Peyton Watson situation recently. Lots of Nuggets fans think Paul gave us the "smoking gun" we've all been looking for, but Brett doesn't agree.32:44 - Deshaun Watson took the field in Cleveland for the first time since he tore his Achilles and got booed by his own fans. He addressed the media after Cleveland's preseason game and...just said a BUNCH of wrong things. He clearly doesn't want to be there. The fans CLEARLY don't want him there. Congrats, Sheduer. YOU are the Cleveland Browns starting QB. There's NO WAY Watson gets the gig.

0:00 - Broncos are hosting the Cheeseheads tonight in Game #2 of the preseason! What can we expect from Denver? What do we need to see?15:59 - Unlike Brett, Vic is at peace with the Peyton Watson trade. He knew something like this needed to happen because of the 2nd apron. As it stands right now, the roster today is not as good as it was 2 days ago. That doesn't mean it can't be good or won't be good! But there are lots of factors and variables to this roster's success.34:07 - 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: Naked men fighting in the shower, what's a cataract, stuff that banana, mouthful of cherry pits, and a Jonah and a Bonah. 

0:00 - We're at the Avalanche Alumni Charity Golf Tournament, so we should talk to an Avs alum! Tyson Barrie swung by to discuss everything from his burgeoning beer business to Cale Makar's upcoming contract extension.14:06 - Speaking of Avs alums, one of the greatest Avs to ever lace 'em up Peter Forsberg sat down with the fellas today. Foppa's Avs won the Cup in 1996 and didn't bring Lord Stanley back to Denver until 2001. 5 years later. Well, this current Avs core won the Cup in 2022, and their next chance to win would be 2027. 5 years later. How did Foppa survive the 5-year wait and stay focused?32:08 - Oh, by the way...there's another Manning. Peyton's son, Marshall Manning, made his high school football debut for Baylor School in Tennessee last night.Oh, by the way...James Harden signed a 3-year/$32 million contract with the Cavaliers. He's 37-years-old. Man, that guys keeps finding ways to get PAID. Oh, by the way...here's a real headline that Moser saw: "Browns TE becomes the first player to enter the transfer portal" That's right, folks. A Browns rookie is attempting to return to college. 

0:00 - Fernando Mendoza looked pretty good in preseason last night, aside from that one Pick 6. Will the Raiders start him right away? Or should he sit behind Kirk Cousins for a bit and learn the ropes? What's the proper approach to handling rookie QBs?16:36 - The boys are live at Meadow Hills in Aurora for the Avalanche Alumni Charity Golf Tournament. John-Michael Liles swung by and chatted about his golf game with the boys. Turns out, he takes it pretty seriously. After that, Brett is still torn up about Peyton Watson getting traded. Vic and Mose say it's time for him to get over it. 33:48 - The Avalanche Alumni Golf Tournament is sponsored by Man Therapy. Joe Conrad, Founder of Man Therapy, sat down with us this morning to chat about his organization and the important work they do. Men don't have to bottle up their emotions anymore. There's a path forward. 

0:00 - Now that training camp 2026 is in the book, how are the Broncos shaping up? What can we expect from preseason Game #2 tomorrow night at Mile High? Our Broncos Insider, ESPN's Jeff Legwold, has all the answers to our burning Broncos questions.17:40 - The Nuggets traded Peyton Watson to the Cavs in a 3-team deal that also included the Clippers. In return, they got an unprotected 2031 Cavs first-round pick and a 2032 Kings second-rounder. There may be more moves in store, so we'll stay tuned for those. But in the meantime, Brett's gonna freak out and be emotional about this trade. 33:20 - Doesn't matter if he's at Cal, Indiana, or the Vegas Raiders, Fernando Mendoza will always be a total dork. His dorkishness is starting to piss off Brett. This guy CAN'T go out there and start balling out on Sundays, right? There's no way. Also, in a special fact checker, Nelly went to the Savannah Bananas game last Saturday and brought back some gifts for the boys.

0:00 - How did the Nuggets end up in this mess? Stuck in the second apron, no roster flexibility, no tradable assets, rinse and repeat. Vic went back through the fossil record and dug up move that got us to where we are today.19:15 - A judge passed a ruling that will allow NFL players to return to the NCAA if they still have eligibility. For example, Diego Pavia wasn't drafted. The Ravens invited him to a mini-camp, signed him, then cut him. He hasn't played any NFL, so could he return to college? If this ruling holds, he can. 33:07 - Oh, by the way...the Saints and Cowboys couldn't stop fighting during joint practice the other day, and Saints WR Brock Rechsteiner was THROWIN dudes around like rag dolls. You know who his dad is? Scott Steiner, former pro wrestling superstar. Oh, by the way...South Carolina QB isn't enrolled in any classes for the fall semester. He's interning at a local driving range, and that's it.Oh, by the way...LIV Golf is going belly up, and they owe people money. They stiffed a local production company called Fresh Tape Media. We had their founder/CEO Jared Kleinstein on the show to share his side of the story.

0:00 - Yesterday, the Nuggets, Cavs, and Clippers did one of those 3-way trades that sent Peyton Watson to the Cavs in exchange for an unprotected 2031 Cavs first-round pick and a 2032 Kings second-rounder. Is there another move locked and loaded? Will these picks be packaged for something else? What's next from the Brain Trust of Tenzer and Wallace?20:20 - Sean Payton addressed the media yesterday after training camp wrapped up, and he clarified that it wasn't a fight between Nix and Bonitto! It was something else. Also, he said the NFL will now be able to review fights/tussles/scrums, etc to make sure the right guy gets punished.33:36 - Altitude TV announced their new Nuggets broadcast crew, and Katy Winge will be the full-time color analyst alongside new PxP Voice Noah Reed. Absolutely deserved for the Mighty Destroyer. How's she feeling about the Peyton Watson and the overall state of the team?

0:00 - In Chad's playing days, he always chose to play in the preseason. For 4 games? No way. But for at least 2? Absolutely. It was necessary for him to be fully prepared for the season.14:35 - Man, the Chargers can't keep their O-Line healthy. Yesterday, they lost their starting center among a laundry list of other injuries during their joint practice with the 49ers. That franchise is so incredibly snakebitten.After that, things are getting messy in the City of Angels. Jeanie Buss is trying to stop her siblings from selling the family's minority ownership stake in the team. On top of that, Dodgers owner Mark Walter is under a federal investigation because of some shady business dealings he did with the team's TV deal. Yikes. 32:10 - It's our last day live at Broncos camp? Already? Man, time flies. What are everyone's final thoughts from Broncos Park?

0:00 - Yesterday, Nik Bonitto was going full speed in practice. He shoved Garret Bolles into Bo Nix, and Bo got knocked down. Then a full on fracas broke out. As a former player, Chad says you have to be on the same page before practice. Are we going game speed? Are we taking it easy today? How hard are we going? When people are on different pages, that's when trouble ensues.18:31 - Chad Brown had an incredible career playing football at CU. Heading into Year 4, what does he expect to see from Deion Sanders? Can Coach Prime finally stack some more wins on the scoreboard? On top of it all, Prime is being subpoenaed to testify in Shilo's bankruptcy trial, which starts the week of the CU vs Georgia Tech game. 33:25 - Oh, by the way...there's a college basketball player who just transferred to his 5th team in 5 years. We've gotta put SOME guardrails on these transfer rules.Oh, by the way...the Mariners lost 22-0 last night. The beatdown was capped off by Julio Rodriguez making an incredibly boneheadded mistake in center field.Oh, by the way...MLB catcher Jake Rogers was on 4 different teams in 21 days. Detroit, Baltimore, Boston, now the Chicago White Sox. Does that poor guy ever unpack his suitcase?

0:00 - Broncos camp got a little chippy yesterday, boys! Bo Nix and Nik Bonitto got into a scrap that ignited the team. Do we like seeing that? Do we like seeing everyone tussle and scrap at practice, even if it involves the QB?17:09 - Davis Webb pulled the starting offensive line during practice yesterday because they kept racking up false starts. Good for Webb. Gotta hold everyone accountable, starter or not. The standard is the standard.Also, ESPN's Monday Night Countdown (MNF pregame show) is adding Pat McAfee as an analyst. Man...McAfee fatigue is real. How much of this guy is too much?? The friggin rap album wasn't enough??35:13 - The Rockies kept it close with the Dodgers! But man, they just don't have the pitching to hang with the big dogs. 

Week 1 of the NFL Preseason is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Davis Webb's debut? How is the AFC West looking as a whole? What else is he hearing from around the wide wide NFL world?

0:00 - Sean Payton gravitates towards RBs of a very specific height and body type. Why does Payton always go for short, stocky, built backs?13:24 - Week 1 of the NFL Preseason is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Davis Webb's debut? How is the AFC West looking as a whole? What else is he hearing from around the wide wide NFL world?31:59 - Ty Simpson, our co-worker on the LA Rams, looked SOLID in his preseason debut. He could be the heir apparent to Matthew Stafford's empire. Why are some first round QBs so prepared when they enter the league, but others look like a deer in the headlights? Looking at you Anthony Richardson and JJ McCarthy. Coach Sanford hopped on the show to explain the massive jump from college to pro ball. 

0:00 - In a good way, this training camp has been relatively boring. No positional battles. Except for...backup QB, I guess. The Broncos also have like 50 TEs on the roster and yet none of them can produce. Hopefully that changes.14:38 - It's no secret that Brett Kane is the President of the Marvin Mims Fan Club. Let's get Chad Brown's perspective...why does Marvin Mims never get any use on offense? Why has Sean Payton relegated him to special teams?32:05 - Oh, by the way...CBS published a list of the most overrated teams in the college football Preseason Top 25. Who's getting too much hype? Oh, by the way...on his podcast, Micah Parsons ranked the Broncos #1 in the AFC West, followed by the Chargers, Chiefs, then Raiders. Should a current NFL player really be dissecting and ranking other teams in the league?Oh, by the way...remember how bonkers the NBA Bubble was? Let's take a walk down memory lane. Kyle Kuzma and Steven Adams described it in very different ways.

0:00 - How is Sean Payton adjusting to his new in-game role now that Davis Webb is calling the plays on offense?16:47 - ESPN dropped a supposed bombshell article about the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers cap circimvention mess with the headline, "Sources: NBA has no evidence Ballmer funneled money to Leonard via sponsors." Then the NBA released a statement saying the article "contains numerous and significant inaccuracies." SHEESH this mess keeps getting bigger and bigger. Will Adam Silver have the cojones to do what's right when it's time?34:15 - How far training camp has come! We're sitting here broadcasting from a gorgeous new facility that still has that new facility smell. During Chad Brown's playing days, training camp wasn't always so glamorous.

0:00 - On Friday, the Broncos offense had a nice flow to it. A good rhythm. Smooooooth. Even in the preseason, that's a good sign. 12:39 - The Nuggets and the Broncos are in similar situations right now, according to Kaner. The Nuggets are hanging their success on the health of Aaron Gordon. The offense goes as he goes. Meanwhile, the Broncos are hanging their success on the health of JK Dobbins. The run game goes as he goes. Unless each team can bolster their depth at those positions.31:20 - LeBron James has officially launched a YouTube golf channel! Man, that feels weird to say. LeBron the YouTuber...

0:00 - Make of preseason what you will, but the Broncos looked solid in Game #1 against the Falcons on Friday. Both sides of the ball were locked in. What did we think of Stiddy vs Ehlinger? And how about that 98-yard Pick 6 from Jahdae Barron?12:23 - Chad Brown played with both Tom Brady and Adam Vinateri on the 2007 Patriots. Of course, Vinateri had ice in his veins and kicked his way into the HOF. But Chad says he was a strange dude. And that's usually the case with kickers and special teamers in general. 29:21 - Oh, by the way...Kristen Bell joined the Savannah Bananas at Coors Field this weekend outta nowhere! She sang a song from Frozen, then did the duet from Dirty Dancing with one of the Bananas players. He even lifted her up just like the movie!Oh, by the way...the Rockies are 13 wins away from not losing 100 games. They actually have some exciting young talent in the lineup!Oh, by the way...Tom Brady and Peyton Manning had very different diets in the offseason back in their heyday. In his NFL days, was Chad Brown's diet closer to Brady's or Manning's?

0:00 - I know it's only preseason but BRONCOS COUNTRY LET'S RIDE! The Broncos looked real good against the Falcons in preseason Game #1. How are we feeling about this squad and the re-vamped offense under Davis Webb? How did Stiddy look in a domed stadium that wasn't full of snow?Shoutout Chad Brown for tapping in today for both Vic and Mose!14:54 - What were some of the other biggest takeaways from preseason game #1? (pardon the technical difficulties. Make like Milli Vanilli and blame it on the rain)31:21 - What does Chad Brown think about the Jayden Daniels #5 vs LSU saga heard 'round the world right now? Literally, everyone in the social media world is clowning Jayden Daniels. It's been unbelievable lately.Also, what does Chad Brown think are reasonable expectations for the Buffs under Deion Sanders in Year 4?

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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? 

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. 

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.
