More Broncos talk, getting ready to open the preseason
Vic and Berto talk Broncos best all-time defenses and looks forward to the game vs SF
0:00 - The Broncos are in Santa Clara to practice with the Niners today! What is our Broncos expert Jeff Legwold expecting to see in joint practice & the preseason game on Saturday?12:29 - John-Michael Liles called us on the phone to discuss the Avalanche Alumni game coming up at the end of the month...while biking up a mountain in Vail. 29:25 - Stick shifts are a dying breed. Who uses those things anymore?
0:00 - Sean Payton released the first depth chart of the year and guess what...all the rookies are last again! I'm shocked! This is my shocked face!13:31 - The Jaguars listed Travis Hunter at both WR and CB on the depth chart. Looks like they actually wanna try playing him both ways!30:58 - Sorry, Canada. Hockey is ours. We took it, according to Vic.
0:00 - The Rockies gave up 45 RUNS to the Blue Jays in 3 GAMES. They allowed 63 HITS. They're out here making history YET AGAIN for all the wrong reasons. Are we mad? Depressed? Apathetic? Can anything enact REAL CHANGE at 20th and Blake?17:29 - The Seattle Kraken mascot almost got GOT by a grizzly in Alaska. After that, the Broncos are in SF today for their first joint practice with the Niners. Are we gonna see any fights in camp? Do you like it when things get chippy out there on the practice field?33:24 - How good will the Avs be next season? What are reasonable expectations for next year?
0:00 - Is Bo Nix a PHONY? Is he corny? Is DMac onto something? What makes an athlete a "phony?" What makes someone corny?12:29 - Yet ANOTHER example of someone throwing a...marital aid on the court during a WNBA game. Let's get back to football, shall we? Are we going to learn anything from the Broncos vs Niners joint practices and preseason game? Any expectations?31:12 - It finally happened. Vic Lombardi is officially anti-Banana. Savannah or otherwise. Bananas ACROSS THE BOARD. Next, how much does a Bo Nix shirt cost? Is it worth buying?
0:00 - Red Zone is officially headed to ESPN! If they're smart, they won't change anything. Let's see how smart ESPN really is.18:22 - If he leaves the Cowboys...where's Micah Parsons headed? Plenty of teams would take his services!30:58 - He started a YouTube channel. He's posting workout videos. He's selling SHIRTS ONLINE?? Is Bo Nix a phony? Has he officially crossed into phony territory? DMac certainly thinks so. He hit the phones, joined our show, and immediately got on his soapbox.
0:00 - Shocker...Marc Moser didn't do his homework last night. Go figure! He didn't watch the first episode of Hard Knocks last night.16:31 - Sean Payton loves Bo Nix and it made him leave a weird voicemail for Dianna Russini.36:00 - RIP Smelling Salts in the NFL. I'm sure this discussion will only revolve around smelling salts, and not immediately fly off the rails...
0:00 - What do we need to see from the Broncos in the first preseason game? Which players will we be watching?16:12 - CBS Sports compiled a list of the 25 worst NFL trades in last 25 years. #1 on the list was Deshaun Watson to the Browns. #2? Russell Wilson to the Broncos. Look at how differently both teams have fared since then. The Browns have about 50 QBs on the roster and can't find stability, while the Broncos are a playoff team that's still trending upward.32:48 - Should Bo Nix play in the preseason games? What would you want to see from him if he suits up? How much should he play?
0:00 - The Rockies are back to their losing way, and yesterday's loss officially clinched YET ANOTHER losing season for them. Can their ownership group ever turn this team around? Look at how the Broncos rebounded from the 9-year Super Bowl hangover. That required an ownership change.16:31 - Sean Payton said the starters will play in preseason game #1 vs the Niners. He didn't specify which starters and how long they'll play. Do we want to see any starters out there? What can we learn from a preseason game?31:14 - Over the weekend, Vic had a chance to sit down with Broncos punter Jeremy Crawshaw. He's from Australia and played college football at Florida. He may be the most interesting man in the world. Also, he does a killer southern accent.
0:00 - Sean Payton said he's previously been a part of 6 teams that had a legit chance to win the Super Bowl. This currently Broncos squad is the 7th. 17:15 - It happens to the best of us. Vic got got. He got scammed by Scams Charania. But it's actually Chris Marlowe's fault.32:23 - Sean Payton said that Bo Nix can be a top 4 or 5 QB in the league. Do we agree?
0:00 - Mike McDaniel dropped another memorable quote at Dolphins camp over the weekend. Next, Vic is concerned about a sensation that's sweeping the Lombardi household.14:38 - What are the next steps for Bo Nix? How does he take the "next steps" this season?32:35 - Luka Doncic signed a 3-year extension with the Lakers. Vic explains why Luka's undergoing an early-onset midlife crisis.
0:00 - How do we truly assess a QB's play in training camp and the preseason? Can we?14:31 - In honor of Bill Belichick catching a stray at NFL HOF weekend, Berto and Moser air out each other's dirty laundry on ex-wives/fiances/girlfriends of the past.32:22 - Vic had the chance to sit down with Evan Engram at camp last week. He told the story of how he became a TE in the NFL since he doesn't fit the usual TE build/profile.
0:00 - Zach Allen signed a contract extension with the Broncos. He's the next stalwart to get paid. Good on Broncos ownership. They're doing this the right way. 16:05 - The Rockies pulled off the weirdest and wildest comeback we've ever seen over the weekend. This weekend, the Savanah Bananas are in town. Once again, let's investigate Moser's beef with the bananas. 33:13 - There are people out there who seriously track training camp stats. They monitor QB incompletions, interceptions, etc. Really? Do we genuinely care about that stuff?
0:00 - Greenlaw left the field early yesterday with an apparent injury/tweak. Sean Payton wasn't concerned about it. But, should we be?13:45 - Cam Ward is very honest, if nothing else. He had another great quote from Titans camp. He's starting to grow on us. Also, Vic survived his tower excursion at the Broncos facility construction site! What did he learn? Does he have anything to report?32:49 - It's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAKES
0:00 - It took us a while to get there, but...Scary Terry wants out of Washington. Would you take him here?12:38 - Yesterday, Adam Trautman said Wednesday's practice was the best practice he's ever had in a Broncos uniform. The culture is changing. The tides are shifting. In the words of Coach Prime, "DO YOU BELIEVE?"32:26 - Supposedly, Michael Parson, I mean...uh...Micah Parsons has had enough of Jerry Jones' octogenarian antics. He wants out of Dallas. And honestly...can you blame him?
0:00 - We watched the NFL HOF game last night...for like 5 minutes. It was great for a second there. But it got us thinking...which Broncos players do we need to see play preseason football? Who needs to prove it?15:35 - The Rockies actually **checks notes** actually did something? At the trade deadline? They offloaded some players? Is this real life?33:24 - Some people are complaining that Burnham Yard, where the new Broncos Stadium is going, is an important historical site that needs to be preserved. According to Vic, it's a dump. Stop it. The new stadium will absolutely improve that dump.
0:00 - Jeff Legwold usually joins us on Zoom (from his now-famous kitchen) but today, he joins us live in person at Broncos camp! Leggy's been to a few camps in his day. What are his impressions of this year's so far?21:01 - NFL Super Agent Peter Schaffer sat down with us at Broncos camp today. Mostly because standing is tough for him. He's rehabbing a torn Achilles. If only someone on our show knew what that was like...32:39 - Let's get an agent's opinion: when's the best time to sign an NFL contract? Is it wise to sign an extension ASAFP? Or should you wait for awhile if there's the possibility of making even more money later?
0:00 - As camp keeps unfolding, Brett finds himself more and more intrigued by the Broncos running game and how it's developing. 14:50 - It finally happened...Moser is officially READY for a NFL football game played between two actual NFL teams. Even if it's just preseason. LFG.32:46 - Let's re-investigate that ESPN article that ranked NFL teams based on how much talent they have under the age of 25. Reminder: the Broncos ranked dead last. Is that really an issue? How important is age when it comes to success on the field?
0:00 - Broncos camp got chippy yesterday! The pads were POPPIN as the saying goes. And guys were chirping each other. Marvin Mims had maybe the line of the day. That's good! You want to see camp get a little fiery.14:40 - Bryce Harper needs to be humbled. Someone needs to put him in his place. He mouthed off to the MLB Commissioner, and Vic says that's unacceptable.33:05 - I hate to say it...I don't even want to put this into the universe...but Vic has a reason why Jokic MIGHT leave Denver after the '25-'26 season.
0:00 - Vic & Jesse remember the time they snuck into the NFL's Hall of Fame party with some false bravado and a random gold jacket.13:51 - Moser spent the commercial break cramming his mouth full of donut holes that were supposed to be communal. After that, Courtland Sutton has had a wild up and down career. It's great that he finally gets to play on a legit contending team for the first time.32:29 - Just how many donut holes did Mose eat? Let's investigate.
0:00 - We've been teasing it...and now it's time to major our major programming announcement. Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 is your new home for Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night NFL games! We'll carry Westwood One's NFL Broadcast starting Week 1 of the season, all the way through Super Bowl 60. 14:10 - There's a high school football team in Georgia that just built a $62 MILLION DOLLAR STADIUM. It's better than some D1 NCAA stadiums. HS football in the south is different, man.32:01 - ESPN ranked every NFL team based on level of talent under the age of 25. How many talented players does each team have under the age of 25? Where do you think the Broncos ranked on that list?
0:00 - Courtland Sutton is incredibly important to the Broncos both on and off the field. We're happy he signed an extension and will stay in Orange & Blue for at least 2 more years.14:41 - The Broncos don't really have any "scary" weapons on offense. Any guys who are known playmakers, who have a big impact. The kind of guy who makes a defense shake in their boots every single down. When was the last time they had someone like that?32:14 - Jerry Jones, Matt Brown, and now ANOTHER NFL owner that needs to keep his mouth shut. Come on, man! When are these owners gonna learn?
0:00 - We're fans of the Courtland Sutton contract. It's the right value for Sutton's role and production. Who's next in line to get paid? How many Broncos will get paid before someone has to be left out?15:32 - How come there aren't any suitors for Nikola Vučević? The Bulls are shopping him, and no one's biting. Should the Nuggets find a way to grab Big Vuc? Next, the overcrowded Browns QB room is thinning out because of injury. Is it Joe Flacco's job to lose? Can Shedeur win the gig?31:42 - We see where Evan Engram is lining up in the formations at camp...how will he be used? He's certainly an unconventional TE. Heck, he's smaller than some of the WRs out there!
0:00 - A lot of players on the defensive side of the ball are waiting to get PAID big time. Will there be enough cap room for John Franklin-Myers?18:33 - SEC fans couldn't survive the college football meat grinder that is the MAC. Shoutout MACtion. Next, Deion Sanders addressed the media yesterday and explained his medical situation. He had an aggressive form of bladder cancer that required a complete remove of his bladder. Get checked, fellas. When was your last checkup?31:00 - It's been a while since we gave Brett his pulpit. So...everbody strap in for TWO MINUTES OF ROCKIES TALK, BABY!
0:00 - Courtland Sutton signed an extension with the Broncos! 4-years, $92 million. Good for Court. Do we like the contract? Is it the right value for Sutton's production?13:08 - Already, Dre Greenlaw is making and impact in Orange and Blue. He wanted to be here, and the Broncos wanted him here. 32:44 - Luka Doncic is looking SVELT. He's literally on the cover of Men's Health Magazine. He's a coverboy. Nico Harrison created a monster. But it's a slippery slope. Everything we're saying about Luka and his conditioning sound a lot like the discussion surrounding Jamal Murray...
0:00 - Which RBs will make the cut? Estime? Bidet? What will their roles be? How quickly can RJ Harvey slot into the offense?17:15 - As the players trickle onto the practice field, some of them have strange warmup routines. 32:57 - We're asking a lot fewer questions about the Broncos this offseason, and it's a privilege to be in that position.
0:00 - Sorry, folks. Happy Gilmore 2 sucked. (Don't worry, this breakdown doesn't have any spoilers) Also, Ichiro Suzuki brought the zingers to his MLB HOF induction speech this weekend. 14:33 - Bo Nix is cool, calm, collected, and composed heading into year 2. He's really setting the bar around the Broncos. It's his team. 33:58 - What's the "theme" of camp this year? It's not a QB battle (THANK GOD) so what is it?
0:00 - Who are these Moser and Lombardi guys? What are they doing on Brett's show?15:51 - Jokic's horse won a racing title in Serbia over the weekend and he shed real tears of joy. It was WAY more dramatic than when he won an NBA title. Brett thinks he knows why Jokic reacted so differently.33:35 - Let's bring Moser and Vic up to speed. What have we seen so far in the early days of Broncos camp?
0:00 - What's a position battle we WANT to see at Broncos camp? Thank GOD it's not QB. 14:08 - Finally...Broncos players are starting to take the field and hype up the crowd. Who's the first out there? Also, Raj brought like 5 breakfast sandwiches to camp just for himself. Sharing is caring, Raj.34:27 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAAKES
0:00 - This Broncos roster is STACKED on paper. But will it be stacked in practice? It comes down to incorporating the new players. How will guys like Barron, Harvey, Hufanga, and Greenlaw slot into their roles on the team?20:10 - We have an update on Justin Fields' injury, and it's not as bad as it seemed yesterday. Also, Nathaniel Hackett has a job again! For real! Someone hired him! That guy must be a great interviewer.33:55 - We don't like Dan Lanning on this show, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. He has an idea to revamp the college football schedule and we totally agree with him.
0:00 - We're finally back at Broncos camp, baby. Oh man it feels good. There's a slight chill in the air...the smell of fresh-cut grass...we are SO BACK.16:12 - The 4 core components of a winning football team are ownership, front office, head coach, QB. For the first time in AGES, the Broncos are entering this season with consistency in all 4 of those categories. It feels amazing. Now, let's get to work.35:40 - The Morris Twins went on Shaq's podcast and said they could beat the Jokic Brothers in a boxing match. Really? That's...quite a take, right there. RIP Morris Twins 1989-2025.
0:00 - Former CU Football Corner/Safety Marcus Washington is in studio with us for a full hour today! As an alum of the CU football team, what does Marcus think of the overall state of the program right now?13:54 - Now that Deion Sanders doesn't have Shedeur & Shilo, and Travis Hunter on his roster anymore, what are reasonable expectations this season? Will the team look different now that Deion can be just a coach, instead of being both a coach and a father?32:54 - RIP Hulk Hogan. God speed, Brother. After that, Cam Ward was asked about Will Levis having season-ending surgery, and Cam's answer was rather blunt.
0:00 - Justin Fields was carted off the field at Jets camp with a lower leg injury. The Jets might need themselves a QB. The Cleveland Browns have...5 QBs on the roster right now. Is Kenny Pickett headed to NY? Will the Browns trade Shedeur to the Jets?15:54 - Brett has some Jokic-related numbers that emphasize why the Nuggets need Jonas Valanciunas do desperately (sorry Greece). Then, Bo Nix cracked the NFL's Top 100 ranking at #64! Good for Bo!32:46 - We haven't made it to Broncos camp yet (we'll be broadcasting live from camp starting tomorrow). So let's talk to someone who has been there. What are Jeff Legwold's initial impressions from Dove Valley?
0:00 - Can Bo Nix avoid the feared Sophomore Slump? More importantly, is that even a real thing? Sean Payton isn't worried about it at all.15:18 - Bo Nix spent a few days hanging out with Drew Brees this summer. Brett raised an interesting question: can the GOATs really teach young guys? Sometimes, the best players ever have a natural ability and athleticism that can't really be taught. 36:18 - Brett's an old soul, He still listens to Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra on vinyl. Berto's music taste is a little more modern. Actually, a lot more modern.
0:00 - In honor of Berto's dolphin story, which animal would you want to punch in the face? Who could you take in a fight? Also, on a more serious note, the Carolina Panthers have released Josey Jewell. He's still dealing with concussion symptoms dating back to Week 15 of last season. We're hoping the former Broncos finds a path to recovery.15:18 - Nik Bonitto spoke about his contract situation as camp ramps up. Is it wise to extend him now? Or should the Broncos drag it out?32:47 - Supposedly, ESPN is close to purchasing Red Zone from NFL Network. Would we like that move? How would ESPN handle Red Zone? Would they change it?
0:00 - Before Giants camp even started, Brian Daboll went ahead and named Russell Wilson the starter...okay? Why? Why would he do that?14:56 - Earlier in the show, people accussed Brett of being a flip-flopper! How DARE they? Brett takes the opportunity to clarify and defend himself. 31:59 - College Football rankings have always been too subjective. Strenght of schedule? Quality losses? Can you imagine if other leagues did that? What if the NBA determined the playoffs based on whoever the league thought was "best?"
0:00 - Colin Cowherd is riding high on the Broncos and his close personal friend Sean Payton. Meanwhile, Nick Wright can't believe people are buying Broncos stock in the offseason. They're definitely not the 6th best team, like ESPN said. Two polar opposite takes. Where do we stand?14:47 - Unfortunately...let's listen to more of Nick Wright's criticism of the Broncos. Is there any truth to what he's saying?32:51 - Jokic is continuing his offseason tour of China to promote his shoe brand. He was asked about Hansen Yang, the young Blazers draft pick who's said he idolizes Jokic's game.
0:00 - If you were married to a famous actor/actress, would you be able to watch them be in love with someone else on screen? Or would that be too hard? Speaking of rejection, Memphis went to the Big 12 with $250 million in hand, and the Big 12 told them to kick rocks.16:41 - Don't try to fight athletes! No matter how much drunken confidence you have, you can't take down a pro athlete. Stop trying!31:52 - The coaching staff for Team Canada's 2026 Olympic Hockey team has been released, and Jared Bednar didn't make the cut. Guys like Jon Cooper and Pete DeBoer did. Why does Bednar always seem to get snubbed for any/every coaching honor?
0:00 - If the Avalanche & Nuggets don't win it all, it's a disappointment. Both teams are in a Championship or Bust window right now. And that's awesome. But it's also tough having such a high bar, even it it's warranted.15:18 - There are some people in this world who need to shut up. Just stop talking. And 2 of those people are Jerry Jones & Mike Brown.32:48 - What would it cost to pay both Zach Allen and Nik Bonitto at the same time? Can you afford to renew both their contracts in one fell swoop?
0:00 - There are lots of offseason narratives surrounding Bo Nix right now - some are positive, some are negative. But are any of them fair?15:10 - Starbucks announced that the coveted Pumpkin Spice Latte will return on August 26th. OMG totes can't wait. Next, Bo Nix and Jalen Hurts are more similar than you'd think, according to Kaner.34:31 - Are we surprised that no one's picked up Russell Westbrook yet? He should've found a home by now.
0:00 - The Lakers added Marcus Smart over the weekend. They're making MOVES this offseason, in addition to, y'know, the whole Luka thing. So...should we finally start worrying about the Lakers? Are they a legit threat in the west?15:47 - Do the best athletes have a responsibility to be an ambassador for their sport? 35:37 - Curtis Jones signed a 2-way contract with the Nuggets after Summer League. Now that Summer League is in the books, what did we see from some of these young guns/prospects? Who can make a meaningful impact on the roster this year?
0:00 - How high is the bar for a Broncos QB? What heights does Bo Nix have to reach to meet the minimum standard?14:25 - Scottie Scheffler and Nikola Jokic are different people, but they're cut from the same cloth. Over the weekend, we realized they're more similar than you'd think.32:17 - Titans QB Will Levis is set to have season-ending surgery, meaning Cam Ward will be the starter on Day 1. It hasn't been announced yet, but it'll certainly looking that way. The Broncos will face Cam in Week 1.
0:00 - Scottie Scheffler won the Open Championship this weekend, adding another major to his resume. And yet, he's not the face of the sport like Tiger was. He doesn't command the spotlight like some of his peers. Why is that?16:56 - The Broncos need to RUN. THE DAMN. BALL this upcoming season. Why was Sean Payton hesitant to run the ball last year? Is he opposed to a run-heavy offense? Or did he not like his RB room?34:50 - Enough already! The Coldplay CEO memes have run their course and then some. Speaking of things that have run their course...Damian Lillard is officially out of Milwaukee and he just signed a contract to return to Portland. Man, the Dame Time Bucks experiment didn't work.
If you can believe it, Broncos Training Camp is almost here. It's one week away! Before you know it, we'll all shift our focus to football & the lofty expectations for Year 2 with Bo Nix.But before we do that...let's find the only 3 people at Altitude Sports Radio who GENUINELY care about the Rockies, stick them in a room together, and see what happens. We scrounged up 3 bonafide seamheads to break down the bad, the worse, and the ugly from this memorable (for the wrong reasons) 2025 Rockies season.The Altitude Summer scramble is fueled by Le Peep! If you haven't had Le Peep, your day is not complete.

0:00 - Jeff Legwold! Long time, no talk. We missed our Leggy updates. A few weeks ago, he told us not to worry about Jahdae Barron still being unsigned. He was right about that. Now, should we be concerned that RJ Harvey hasn't put pen to paper yet? 14:31 - Fox Sports might be hiring some of the Barstool guys (like Dave Portnoy) to join their college football TV broadcast this season. Clearly, they're trying to emulate the McAfee model. Do we enjoy Pat McAfee? Or is he overstaying his welcome a bit? Then, Moser calls us from Italy with an update. 32:15 - The Bears just signed their 2nd round pick, and he was only 2 picks away from RJ Harvey. This means that Harvey should be signing soon, right? Also, let's revisit the Greatest Cry that was ever recorded on tape.
0:00 - The Clippers signed Bradley Beal to a 2-year/$11 million contract. We don't think this is going to work because...the SuperTeam plan rarely works. SuperTeams fail more often than they succeed.10:14 - George Paton really doesn't get his flowers as a GM. He's done an amazing job with the Broncos. Hiring Nathaniel Hackett is a huge black mark on his record, but basically everything else he's done has been a success.29:13 - What's Courtland Sutton's value to the Broncos? Where does he stack up amongst NFL wide receivers?
