Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - Yesterday's Avs win in Seattle was uncommon for a couple different reasons. First of all, they had to battle back from a deficit (which usually doesn't happen to this squad). Second of all, they scored a power play goal! It happened! What did Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar think of his squad's thrilling win over the Kraken?17:51 - Have you ever laughed yourself to tears at a joke YOU made?

Let's hit some headlines.

0:00 - The Avs actually trailed the Kraken at one point last night. It actually happened! A team had a lead over the Avs! But Colorado battled back with 3 goals in the 3rd period to drown the Kraken.

Before we turn the page to the Jaguars game, what are some final takeaways we have from the clash with the Cheeseheads?36:37 - Broncos vs Packers drew record viewership numbers on CBS.

You wanna talk about Jokic getting the benefit of the whistle? That's the guy you wanna bring up Alpie?

But funny enough, Jokic wasn't the guy who made the clutch plays in the final moments to seal the win. It was...Spencer Jones?17:55 - Moser needs green noise to sleep. Not white noise. Green noise?After that, Sean Payton addressed the media in his weekly zoom presser. He was asked about how the team managed 3rd downs better in the Packers game. For the most part, they avoided 3rd and long all game. How is the offense developing as the season unfolds?34:37 - The Steelers beat the Dolphins in Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football yesterday. Are the Steelers for real? Or are they headed for another 9-7 playoff berth followed by a Wild Card round loss? The annual tradition.After that, Patrick Mahomes underwent surgery to repair his ACL. When he returns, will the Chiefs still be the same juggernaut? Can they pick up where they left off without skipping a beat?

Have the Broncos proven the doubters wrong? Has Bo Nix silenced the critics? Who cares?? Adam Schefter doesn't care what anyone has to say about the Broncos. They're winning, and they're the top seed in the AFC. They're riding an 11-game win streak. That's all that matters to Schefty. Critics be damned.

Home field advantage is a big deal for the Broncos. It really helps. That's why it's incredibly important for the Broncos to secure the 1 seed in the AFC. The Road to the Super Bowl needs to run through Mile High.

0:00 - YOUR DENVER FOOTBALL BRONCOS ARE 12-2, BABY! 11 straight, count 'em, 11 straight wins! Yesterday, they defeated the Packers and their silly Cheesehead fans at Mile High 34-26.

We'll get all the answers about Colorado's loss in Nashville from the man himself.16:36 - The Broncos have 4 games left on the regular season schedule. As Gary Kubiak used to say, "We're fixin' to find out" exactly who this Broncos team is as the calendar winds down.35:03 - The CFP has essentially eliminate the need for smaller bowl games. Notre Dame refusing to play in a Bowl this year might be the final nail in the coffin. Can/should the current slate of Bowl Games be salvaged? If so, what's the fix?

0:00 - Yesterday was a weird game for the Avalanche. Scott Wedgewood got pulled from the shootout due to concussion protocol, and the Avs fell to the Predators 4-3 in Nashville.

0:00 - What was the most impressive part of yesterday's Broncos win?14:16 - Alright, we've made Vic behave long enough. Let's give him the floor and get out of the way.

They discuss this and how the Nuggets have won eight of their last twelve...with all eight of those games being on the road.16:20 - The gang pivots to talking some Broncos ahead of their Sunday matchup with the Raiders.

Can we please make this one entertaining? Unlike the Thursday Night Snoozefest earlier this year.11:51 - How is the NFL playoff picture shaping up and where do the Broncos fit into it? After that, a report came out yesterday that CU is having some money trouble. Their athletic department is forcasting a HUGE deficit for the fiscal year ending in June 2026. Is this legit? Or is this some clickbait fool's gold? More importantly, how much does the money matter in today's college football landscape?32:29 - The Rockies hired a new GM! From outside the organization! Do we like the hire? Can he be the magician that turns around this franchise?

The gang does some pocket watching on the Pats and if their dominant wins put the Broncos in a little bit of an advantageous postion.35:24 - The Avalanche take on the Canucks tonight at Ball Arena, after that they hit the road for about a week for a trip to the east coast.

He took away some of his trademark smoke and mirrors. 16:28 - Yesterday, the boys made fun of DMac for caring about the Rockies and the Warren Schaffer hire too much. This morning during the Appetizer Hour, DMac offered a retort. So naturally, we had to offer our rebuttal to DMac's retort, and make fun of him for being ridiculous. You know how this goes. 35:34 - We're off tomorrow and Friday, so let's make our final predictions for the Broncos @ Commanders game this Sunday.

Don't discount how great this ownership group is. The Wal-Mart regime gets things done when it wants to. That makes all the difference in the word. 32:42 - For the last time this season, Coach Prime addressed the media up in Boulder. He announced his decision to redshirt Juju Lewis and give Kaidon Salter in the final game of the year. He made SURE to clarify it's his decision, not Juju's. If we're planning for the long term, this is absolutely the right decision.

On that topic...is Denver a baseball town?
