Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - The Avalanche released their national TV schedule today. 17 total games across ESPN, ABC, and TNT. For what it's worth, you can always find every single Avalanche game right here on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 (regardless of which TV channel has it).20:13 - Let's get back to the BIGGEST SPORTS HEADLINE OF THE DAY! It's absolutely the most important sports story across the vast, sprawling, wide wide world of sports. 33:03 - Sam Ehlinger was released by the Broncos, then signed to the practice squad. All this cut vs waived vs released vs signed to the practice squad stuff is confusing. Makes our heads spin. We need a Jake Coyne equivalent to explain NFL roster gynamstics. 

0:00 - There's SO much hype around the Broncos right now, and Moser's starting to worry about it a bit. Will this season meet expectations? Will the sequel live up to the original? What are some of the worst sequels in TV/movie history?15:26 - Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb recently wrote an Op-Ed for Denver Westword about the (alleged) location of the new Broncos stadium. He vehemently argued that the stadium needs to stay in Denver proper. Today, we had Mayor Webb on the show to dig deeper into his stance.33:00 - Now that the Broncos 53-man roster is set, what are their biggest strengths & weaknesses?

0:00 - The Broncos 53-man roster is finally set! Did any cuts surprise us?15:51 - And now her watch is ended. CU announced yesterday that Ralphie VI (aka Ember) is being relieved of her running duties because, well...she doesn't like running. Never has. A lot of CU fans are being whipped into a frenzy over this animal, and Brett doesn't get it. 33:08 - Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift got engaged yesterday. Congrats to the happy couple! But why is every single sports publication releasing 1000 articles about it? What's the deal with the Swift obsession? Stop me if you've heard this before...Brett doesn't get it. More importantly, have you seen Travis Kelce's old tweets? The internet is having a field day.

He had SO much fun answering our stupid questions last year & he's back for another season full of even stupider questions. Adam Schefter will join us every Tuesday morning @ 9am through the 2026-2026 NFL sesaon!

0:00 - He's BACK folks. Adam Schefter returns for another year of providing excellent NFL insight and analysis. And more importantly, fielding our stupid questions.16:15 - What's the most interesting roster move the Broncos have made so far? What is Vic keeping his eyes on as the roster continues to shrink down?34:03 - Brett knocked a tough baseball trivia question out of the park. Also, have there been any surprising Broncos roster cuts yet?

0:00 - The Broncos have made about 20 cuts now. The roster is starting to come into focus.14:51 - Aaron Gordon said he wants to shoot more 3s this year. But should he? Is that a viable strategy? Next, the Buccs cut Desmond Watson because of issues with his weight...okay...? Why'd you draft a 450lb guy then cut him because he's too big. After that, Brett has an interesting question. Which backup QB reclamation project is most likely to succeed in their new home: Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson, or Aaron Rodgers?33:14 - Cal Raleigh is having a MONSTER historic year. He's putting that titular Big Dumper to work and smashing home runs left and right. Where does his season rank amongst all-time great catchers?

0:00 - The Broncos waived Audric Estime yesterday. The writing was on the wall. It has been since the playoffs last year. Also, this segment goes weirdly off the rails because of a squash and a putter. But what else is new?17:02 - The backup QB carousel spins and spins every year! Brett doesn't understand how it works. At all. How do teams assess the trade value/on-field value of a backup QB?33:40 - What's a realistic standard to set for CU football this year? What should we expect from Prime's squad without Travis and Shedeur? How important is the result of Game 1 vs Georgia Tech this weekend?

0:00 - For the most part, the Broncos have avoided the injury bug during the preseason. They've lost a few players, but no key first stringers **fingers crossed** It's all luck of the draw, and it's so important. 16:41 - Marlin Pitcher Tyler Phillips did a postgame interview with Marlins Radio Network over the weekend, and it's maybe the most blunt walk-off interview of all time.34:46 - Vic doesn't listen to Brett anymore. His voice just doesn't do it for Vic anymore. Does ANYONE listen to Brett??

0:00 - Which positions groups are deepest on this Broncos roster? Are there some guys who the Broncos can trade away for a good haul in return? Some fringe roster guys who will be starters elsewhere?14:51 - The Avalanche vs DU Alumni game went down this weekend, and oh MAN it reminded us of the good ol' days. Peter Forsberg fed Milan Hejduk for a goal and it was hockey poetry. 32:44 - Which Broncos players are in the groove right now heading into the regular season?

0:00 - The Broncos wrapped up the preseason with a 3rd dub! What are our takeaways now that the preseason is in the books?15:24 - Even though the Broncos went undefeated in preseason, do we still have any concerns about this team? Also, Shedeur Sanders had a rough outing in Cleveland on Saturday. The dialogue surrounding Shedeur is beyond toxic. It's polarizing to the max. It's unhinged. It's confirmation bias at its worst...or best, I suppose.33:59 - College football is BACK, baby! What a nasty, sloppy, rainy, gross game of pigskin played across the pond in Ireland. Ultimately, the game was just one big ad campaign for an airline with a...questionable name.

0:00 - (At the time of recording) COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS 25 HOURS AWAY! 10am Saturday monring, baby. Kansas St and Iowa St are duking it out across the pond in Dublin, Ireland. We're so ready. Inject Week 0 directly into our veins.15:20 - Jerry Jones is acting up again! He went on Michael Irvin's podcast and said some insane stuff about the stalled contract negotiations with Micah Parsons. Brett asked a great question: can you imagine any of the Broncos Brass doing that? When have you heard anything about George Paton's wheeling and dealings while they're happening?32:48 - It's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAAAKES. We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed & it makes us sound like we're hammered. 

0:00 - We're live at Meadow Hills for the Altitude charity golf tournament in conjunction with the Avalanche. That means we have former Avs galore swarming the course! JML left his wine cave to join us and preview the Avalanche alumni game this weekend.14:21 - Speaking of former Avs...Peter Forsberg, one of the greatest Avs of all time, sat down with us. He told us how his body's feeling, how much he pays attention to the current NHL, and if he's ready to play in the Avalanche alumni game this weekend.32:38 - The Broncos aren't done, right? There are probably more trades incoming. Who will they target next?

0:00 - Sean Payton spoke to the media yesterday, and he explained how/why the Vele trade went down the way it did. 15:43 - Payton said the starters will play in the final preseason game tomorrow, but they'll be on a strict pitch count. What do you need to see from them? If the starters don't look good, will it change your mind about anything?34:33 - Jerry Jones doesn't know how to construct a winning football team. But you know what he DOES know how to do? Give us soundbite gold day in and day out. He went on Michael Irvin's podcast and dropped some audio paydirt while discussing the Micah Parsons contract negotiation hangups.

0:00 - After the Devaughn Vele trade, what's next for the Broncos? What are the implications of the trade? Let's ask our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold.14:42 - Is Moser trying to backtrack on a take he had on Monday? Is he leaning into revisionist history? Let's roll the tape and find out!33:11 - Who are/were some of the most foul-mouthed head coaches in sports history?

0:00 - The Avalanche signed former Sabres & Golden Knights forward Victor Olofsson. What can he bring to the team?15:55 - Brett likes to think of himself as a well-rounded intellectual human being. But can he argue AGAINST an argument he made? Can he argue the opposite perspective of something he believes in? Let's see. Next, Conor McGahey is out in Carbondale with Moser and the Altitude TV crew. Let's have him hop on the headset to see what he thinks of the Broncos offseason. 33:01 - Conor sticks around and offers his insight into the Victor Olofsson signing and what his role will be on the team.

0:00 - Brett was right. Devaughn Vele was tradable for a draft picks! Someone out there wanted him. Moser and Vic called him a madman, and yet Kaner ended up on the right side of history. Let's allow him to take a victory lap!15:47 - While's Brett's out here taking victory laps, he was right about something else! He said it was time for the Rockies to cut bait with Austin Gomber. Just admit everything about the Arenado trade was a failure and cut him loose. Low and behold... the Rox put him on outright waivers yesterday.The Gomber situation also reminded Brett about something the Broncos did...32:43 - After all the teams trim their rosters to 53 men, will Sean Payton look to claim anyone off waivers?

0:00 - Sean Payton's riding super high with his squad right now! Everything's HUNKY DORY! This team could win the Super Bowl, every player is an MVP candidate, blah blah blah. And Moser is getting a bit sick of it. Be cautious, Sean.15:26 - Baseball broadcasts get weird. You have to fill 9 innings with content 162 times each year. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes, commentators go off the beaten path. Sometimes they go...WAY off the beaten path.33:34 - The Matt Stafford who just returned to Rams training camp healthy and ready to roll isn't actually Matt Stafford. He's been replaced by a clone. Don't take it from me. Take it from "credible" internet sources.

0:00 - We are SO BACK, baby. Let's do a preseason edition of NFL True or False.19:14 - Apple TV will no longer carry MLB games. Did...anyone actually know that Apple TV had MLB games? Also, Brett learned a valuable lesson watching the Rockies vs Dodgers last night. 32:53 - We love it (and also hate it sometimes) when a coach gets a little feisty with the media! Let's check in with new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn. How's he handling the notorious New York media?

0:00 - Should we talk about actual football Xs and Os? Nah. Jahdae Barron is Flex Seal. What made for TV products correspond with Broncos players? Which infomercial is Nik Bonitto? 15:29 - Sean Payton doesn't like to lean on one particular offensive weapon. He likes distributing the ball to all of his guys. To reinforce this point, Brett dives into the stats from Sean's beloved 2009 Saints.32:29 - Adam Schefter says the Browns could legitimately carry 4 QBs on the roster heading into the season. Really? What's the endgame here? Heck, the Broncos carried 3 last year and we all lost our minds about it. 

0:00 - The Colts just named Daniel Jones their Week 1 starter. That's gotta be the end of Anthony Richardson's Colts days, right? There's no coming back from that. Could he go elsewhere and find success? Who are the great reclamation project QBs in NFL history that switched teams and revived their career?16:10 - It's almost college football season, which means it's time for Paul Finebaum to say something stupid that makes us mad. He said an SEC school will probably try to steal Deion Sanders regardless of how this season goes. What does that mean? Even if Deion goes 1-11, Florida will try to poach him or something?32:51 - Baseball's weird, man. The Rox are rallying! Even the worst teams can get hot in a 162 game season. Also, Rich Eisen had a touching tribute to his former ESPN/SportsCenter co-host the late great Stuart Scott. 

0:00 - Defector recently published the Broncos edition of Why Your Team Sucks, their annual NFL tradition. Let's see if we agree with their Broncos roasts/criticisms.13:26 - Where does Bo Nix rank among the QBs in the AFC West? Can the Broncos achieve playoff success if he's the 3rd-best QB in his division?31:50 - Tulane's football team clains they ate 10,880 meatballs during their fall camp. Do with this information what you will. Next, one college football program is saving a ton of money by only using 2 uniform combinations this season. Are we a fan of schools who use a bunch of different uni combos? Or do we like streamlining for the sake of saving money?

0:00 - A cool camera angle emerged of RJ Harvey's TD vs the Cardinals on Saturday. He hit the tiniest hole in the offensive line, ripped straight through it, and found the end zone. When was the last time the Broncos had a guy like that?16:49 - ROX ARE GETTING HOT, BOYS! They walked it off against the Dodgers last night. They've won 6 of 7. They only need 6 wins to avoid being the worst team in the modern era. Oh how the turn tables.Also, the Browns just named Joe Flacco as their day 1 starter. Really? What's the plan here, fellas?33:35 - Joe Burrow played in Cincy's preseason game last night and, shocker, the O-Line had him running for his life. He got sacked and dogpiled a few times. In a meaningless preseason game. Hey Joe..it's preseason! Just fall down! Next, in honor of Rich Eisen returning to ESPN & SportsCenter last night, who are the greatest SportsCenter achors of all time?

0:00 - Who's one Broncos player who will be cut and you'll hate to see him go? 16:34 - Brett explains one specific way that we're all hypocrites. After that, which Broncos players are in the groove right now 2 games into the preseason?35:20 - Vic is depressed by the actions of his coworkers. They're all losers, lowlifes, scavengers, and clowns.

0:00 - What's the biggest weakness on the Broncos roster?13:42 - Did Dillon Gabriel take a thinly veiled shot at his own teammate over the weekend?32:43 - Last year, the Broncos run game was non-existent. This year, it's looking good in preseason. What's the difference? How'd Payton flip the script?

0:00 - The Broncos beat up the Cardinals is Preseason Game #2 on Saturday. What did we learn? What are the biggest takeaways?16:20 - Sean Payton has too many solid players on his roster. Trimming down to the 53-man roster is going to be TOUGH. That's a good problem to have.33:37 - What was the Biggest Hit of the Weekend? Brett has a couple options.

0:00 - We have 3 kickass teams in Denver right now. At the same time! That's awesome. Get stoked, people. Don't take this for granted. We have 3 championship contenders about to start their seasons in the next couple months.15:59 - The NCAA handed Michigan another punishment for the Connor Stallions sign stealing scandal. And, yet again, it doesn't really matter. After that, Shedeur Sanders is nursing an injury and won't play in Cleveland's preseason game this weekend. So...who the heck IS their QB? Do the Browns have a healthy person in that room?34:37 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAKES. We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed & it makes us sound like we're hammered.

0:00 - Between the Avs, Nuggets, and Broncos...which team is most likely to finish 1st in their division? Rank them 1-3 most likely to least likely to win their division.13:43 - Did the Avs have a good offseason? Moser explains why you should still believe in the Avalanche heading into next season.31:47 - How will Sean Payton fill out the final roster? Will he keep 4 RBs? How many WRs? Who's on the bubble?

0:00 - The Broncos looked good in joint practice yesterday! In fact, Sean Payton said he won't play any starters vs the Cardinals tomorrow. Do we like that? Would you want to see the starters get some reps?15:05 - The full Nuggets schedule is out! Which games are we looking forward to?33:18 - Sean Payton wasn't the only one impressed by Bo Nix yesterday. The AZ Cardinals defense also had some high praise for him after practice.

0:00 - Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson showed up at Broncos camp yesterday and hung with the guys. We love how connected all the athletes are in this town. Everyone supports each other.17:14 - Paul Calvisi, the radio voice of the Arizona Cardinals, is an old friend of Vic's. He sat down with us at training camp to roast Vic thoroughly, and share the AZ perspective of joint practice & preseason Game #2. 31:44 - It's our last day live at training camp! The fellas give their final thoughts before we bid the leaf blower guy adieu until next year. 

0:00 - PSII sat down with Kay Adams and said the Broncos defense isn't just the best in the NFL right now. They might go down as an all-time great defense in NFL history. 15:45 - The Arizona Cardinals are arriving at Broncos camp any minute now...before they do, let's catch up with Jeff Legwold before he has to dash off to joint practice. 36:14 - We suckered Jeff Legwold into staying around for another segment. Who's the best QB mind Jeff ever encountered. Where does Bo Nix stack up?

0:00 - Sean Payton had a list of 14 (or 17) things that bothered him about the preseason trip to play the Niners. He referenced a music festival across from the hotel that disturbed the Broncos at 2am. Our festival insider Jesse Trujillo offered some insight into the debacle.14:44 - Broncos CB Riley Moss sat down (in the hot seat) for an interview with Vic yesterday. Expectations for the Broncos defense, skinny jeans, coffee...nothing is off the table. 35:29 - Shedeur Sanders made his preseason debut with the Browns last weekend, and it shattered preseason viewing records. Has there ever been this much buzz for a 5th round QB (or 5th round player in general) in NFL history?

ESPN's Gary Striewski joins the show, Drunk Takes

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.
