Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - That was a good win for the Nuggets last night! They got plenty of production from the bench/depth guys. They absolutely needed that win. Even though they had a big lead, almost blew it, then closed it out in the end. All things considered, that was a solid win over the LA LeBrons.13:08 - Two HUGE games tonight. One for the Avs, one for the Nugs. A double diparoo necessitates a double KEYS-a-roo. What are the keys to victory for the Ball Arena roommates?35:21 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered. 

0:00 - Russell Westbrook left the Nuggets, and went to literally the worst team in the league. He doesn't have many years left in the league and, understandably, wants to get a ring. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong place. Yesterday, he vented some of his frustrations on the media in his postgame press conference.17:49 - If the Avs beat Dallas tonight, then beat Minnesota on Sunday, that's basically it. They all but have the division wrapped up. This weekend is make or break for Colorado. 28:33 - Oh, by the way...Shohei Ohtani is already hitting BOMBS in the WBC. Oh, by the way...Moser found a pro wrestler who takes down his opponents by flinging pizza dough at them. Oh, by the way...6 of the top 10 ranked collegiate dodgeball programs in the country are in the state of Ohio. 

0:00 - OKC and their haughty head coach might be #1 on the Nuggets hate list. If that's the case, the LA Lakers are 1.5. Still hate em. Always have, always will. Beating them still feels like pure heroin. Jamal Murray must feel the same way, because he becomes prime Wilt Chamberlain anytime he plays the Lakers. 16:26 - Right after we wrapped up the show yesterday, the Avalanche traded for Nicolas Roy. How do we feel about the trade? Is he a good fit? Was the price right?33:42 - Right now, the Dallas Stars are the monkey on Colorado's back. They've owned you as of late. It is what it is. You've GOTTA beat them tonight. For so many reasons. Tonight isn't literally a must win, but it's a must win. Period.Also, Moser weighs in on SGA's weird fluffy jacket that he wore in his postgame presser, and immediately went viral for being insane.

0:00 - Jeff Legwold spent all last week at the NFL Combine, and now he's home safe in the confines of his kitchen once again. With those cabinets we love seeing on TV every Thursday! What are Leggy's takeaways from his time in Indy?17:01 - Let's go down the rabbit hole of crazy fitness instructors, both past and present, because why not?Nuggets are hosting the Los Angeles LeBrons tonight. What a the keys to a Denver victory?31:55 - The Bears traded DJ Moore to the Bills. Again...that seems like another receiver the Broncos could've used...After that, Vic explains why tanking is so damaging to the NBA product overall. And it has to do with WHEN teams start tanking during the NBA year, and how that affects the playoff picture. Scott Hastings called in to chime in on Vic's tanking take.

0:00 - Russell Wilson is officially off the Broncos books. They don't have any large hits against their cap. They have a QB on a cheap rookie deal. They're running it back with a team that made it to the AFC Championship. It's time to go all in. Capitalize on this window. Make it happen. 13:34 - For years, Avalanche critics have said they need to get bigger, tougher, and stronger. They're too small for their own good. Brett & Vic disagree. Their brand is small, fast, tricky, and shifty. They build rosters that work with their brain. A big lumbering bruiser doesn't fit the identity, and that's okay!33:17 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies got smacked around by Team USA yesterday ahead of the World Baseball Classic. Oh, by the way...Stephen A Smith is currently beefing with the **checks notes** New Orleans Pelicans? Oh, by the way...Harrison Barnes of the Spurs injured his ankle by taking a nap. 

0:00 - Rumors are swirling about Val Nichushkin being a trade option for the Avalanche. Brett says that's not a good idea. The Avs need to keep him on the roster.16:31 - Yesterday, Lu Dort apologized for his dirty move on Nikola Jokic. That's good and all, but the damage is already done. As Mark Daigneault so eloquently put it, the precedent has been established. And look, it's not just sour grapes from Nuggets fans. The entire NBA is turning on the Thunder and their flopping.31:27 - Teams are finally figuring out how to guard Jokic. The Nuggets need to figure out how to deal with it. It's a unique situation, and it'll require a unique solution.

0:00 - The Avs are ROLLIN. They're 4-1 since the Olympic Break. How does Jared Bednar feel about his team overall right now? Bedsie also gave us some injury updates, and previewed Friday's massively important game vs the Dallas Stars.20:57 - They say only fools rush in. Well Vic must be a fool. Because he's fallen head over heels for Grok (Twitter's AI). And based on how she chatted with him, it seems like the feeling's mutual. 33:26 - The Rams and Chiefs made a trade today that gave the Chiefs the 29th overall pick in this year's NFL Draft...one spot before the Broncos. Oof.

0:00 - Gabe Landeskog is having himself a SEASON. Yes, he missed a good chunk of time due to injury. But the numbers don't lie. Look at this team's record with him on the ice and without him. It's a stark contrast. 15:15 - Is a virtual hole-in-one just as cool as a real life hole-in-one? How much stock do you put in a golf sim ace?Also, reports have emerged that the Broncos would consider trading Stiddy for the right price. Would you be okay with a trade? What's a fair price for Stiddy?30:46 - Oh, by the way...Russell Wilson joined Bussin With the Boys and addressed (some of) his beef with Sean Payton. Oh, by the way...Aaron Judge attempted to make a rousing speech in front of Team USA, and it...wasn't that inspiring. Oh, by the way, you can buy the mechanical rhino that gave birth to Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura 2 for the low low price of $4000 (for now). 

0:00 - The Avalanche dominated the Ducks last night in Anaheim! Gabe Landeskog scored a goal, Marty Nachos scored a Power Play goal, and Parker Kelly got himself 2! Such a complete effort. This team looks rejuvinated after the Olympic Break.14:58 - Even though Moser isn't on the show today, Vic still owes him an apology for something that happened yesterday.After that, moves are going down in the NFL: trades and tags and free agents OH MY! Where can the Broncos get in on the action? Any players on the market they should target?33:20 - The NBA's Western Conference is RELENTLESS. All the teams around the Nuggets in the standings KEEP ON WINNING. Could OKC, Minny, or San Antonio lose a game for once? That would be great. The Nuggetgs are floundering at the worst possible time. 

0:00 - All season long, the Broncos were winning. But Brett still complained about HOW they were winning. It never looked right. Well, now it's time to do that with the Nuggets. Last night's win was ugly. Beyond ugly. And they need to get it cleaned up ASAP. They don't look like a championship team right now.12:28 - We're so laser focused on the Avs struggling PP (and rightfully so) but let's not forget - this team is in a really good place. They've won 40 games! We'll see if they can make it 41 tonight. They're facing the Ducks in Anaheim on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. What are the keys to an Avs victory?30:11 - Jokic will never get favorable calls from the refs. His tussle with Keyonte George last night is futher proof. No matter how rattled he gets, he can't flop for a superstar whistle like his contemporaries.

0:00 - What's a fair price to pay for a Free Agent RB? Especially for someone like the Broncos who absolutely NEED a RB desperately.15:07 - The Nuggets are clearly missing Aaron Gordon right now - his physicality, his energy, his defense, you name it. But he can't stay healthy consistently. Even when he's completely healthy, he still misses games here and there. Depending on Aaron Gordon for success isn't a sustainable strategy. How should Coach Adelman handle him?32:10 - Oh, by the way...the Atlanta Hawks have possibly come up with the worst theme night of all time. If their is the worst...the Avalanche might have the 2nd worst of all time coming up next week. 

0:00 - It feels weird to hit the panic button after a win, but Brett's doing it. The Nuggets won last night. BUT...they needed late game theatrics to beat the Jazz by 3 points. A Jazz team that is ACTIVELY TRYING TO LOSE BALLGAMES. The Jazz are literally under investigation by the leage because of tanking. And the Nuggets almost lost to them. That's unacceptable. Brett's officially lost any belief that this is a championship caliber roster. They've lost that trust. They need to earn it back.16:51 - We know Moser is always loopy the morning after a late road game. Well today, he was maybe the loopiest he's ever been. Today he was the most luggage-est he's ever luggaged. Somewhere in here, we attempted to talk about the Avalanche?33:37 - The Nuggets added veteran point guard Tyus Jones to the roster. Okay? Did they really need another guard? What's the reasoning behind this signing?

0:00 - OKC really needs to pick a lane. Do you want to be the villains? Or do you want to be the scrapy underdog heroes? You can't play it both ways. You, your flopping MVP, Lu Dort, and your stupid phony coach need to decided what you want to be.18:02 - A double diparoo necessitates a Double Keys-A-Roo! What are the keys to both an Avalanche and Nuggets victory? Somehow, that turned into Moser leaking snot out of his nose mid-segment.33:57 - The Lions traded David Montgomery to the Texans for a very affordable price. Should the Broncos have been in those sweepstakes?

0:00 - Cam Johnson is really going through it right now. He's struggling to make shots. He has a lingering ankle injury that's clearly bothering him. How can he fight his way through this?15:54 - Since the Olympic Break, the Avs are 1 for 10 on the PP. For those of you keeping score at home, that's 10% efficiency. At some point, a busted PP isn't an anomaly. It's who they are. 30:14 - Oh, by the way...some Avalanche executives were in the building for Flames @ Ducks last night in Anaheim. An old friend of ours plays for the Flames right now. Coincidence? Oh, by the way...Coach Bednar said he'll golf shirtless to play along with a course tradition.

0:00 - It's official: the Nuggets have lost their clutch gene. They can't close out games anymore. They need to figure out what's going on, and figure it out quick.17:24 - OKC, their stupid fanbase, and their stupider coach? All on THE LIST. They've officially passed the Lakers as Public Enemy #1. You can't play the villain role, then also cry wolf and act like some innocent scrappy underdog. Which one are you? Lu Dort messed around, but he wasn't prepared to find out.After that, it wasn't easy, but the Avalanche beat the Blackhawks on Saturday to end February on a high note. For some reason, it's NEVER easy when they play Chicago. Despite the win, the Avs Power Play is still non-existent. At this point, it's not an anomaly. It's just who they are.36:47 - Brett must be Jonesing for some football, because he actually watched NFL Combine coverage this weekend. His main takeaway? Only a very VERY specific type of player can rock a mullet.

0:00 - Nuggets are in OKC to take on the Thunder tonight? What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?After that...(former) Miami Hurricanes DE Rueben Bain Jr just got measured at the combine. He's a beast and built like a ton of bricks, but he has weirdly short arms. He's a T-Rex. Why don't we measure our own arms and see how we all stack up?12:13 - Airport Beer Connoisseur & Former Broncos Backup QB Ben "Gucci" DiNucci joined the show today! Almost a month ago, he tweeted about how important Davis Webb is to the offense. He also said he assumed "Sean is going to give up playcalling now" after Webb was promoted to OC. Nailed it on all fronts. Today, we dug into the Broncos QB room, AFC Championship, airport beers, and golf with the Nucc himself. 32:19 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from thoughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

0:00 - Word on the street is...MLB Owners want to establish a Salary Cap and a Floor in the next CBA negotiation. And the cap amount they're (supposedly) going to propose would absolutely cripple the big spenders like the Dodgers. They'd have to gut half their roster tomorrow. The MLB is 110% headed for another lockout.18:08 - The Cartoon Voice of Your Colorado Avalanche Kyle Keefe joined the show to break down his unique broadcast experience from yesterday. He had to speak in a kid-friendly voice and demeanor and tailor the commentary towards 7-year-olds. BUT Keefer absolutely DESPISES the Minnesota Wild. How was he able to keep his cool? SERENITY NOW!32:39 - Oh, by the way...A Padres pitcher is headed to the IL with an "infection in his rear end." Hey Padres Manager Craig Stammen...just say your guy is gonna miss some time. Lie. Use "lower body injury." No need to air his dirty laundry. Oh, by the way...Moser also dealt with a rear end infection of his own once upon a time...

0:00 - Losing to the Minnesota Wild still hurts, even in a cartoon playtime world. Did you watch the normal broadcast, or the Bernie's Mountain Showdown animated broadcast with a virtual Kyle Keefe and Mark Rycroft? Vic tuned into the cartoon broadcast for a bit. Is he now a convert? Will he now "do" cartoons?21:08 - Remember how the NFL PA Survey/Report cards weren't supposed to be public anymore? Well life...uh...finds a way. The report cards made their way to the interwebz last night, and the Broncos did very well across the board. They received only 2 low(ish) grades, and one of those was a bit perplexing.36:09 - The Nuggets are in OKC to face the Thunder tonight! It's a big measuring stick game for Denver. How will they stack up against the top team in the West?

0:00 - Moser's all out of sorts today. Something he thought he understood...he doesn't actually understand at all. He learned a tough lesson today.(By the way, the song you can't hear under Moser's highlight reel is "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh)14:46 - Our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold is at the NFL Combine! What did he think of Sean Payton's presser and handing off playcalling duties to Davis Webb? Which players have caught his eye so far?31:32 - The Avalanche are doing their animated simulcast game tonight! The infamous Cartoon broadcast against the Minnesota Wild. What are the keys to a cartoon victory?

0:00 - Sean Payton gave up playcalling to Davis Webb AND handled it well in his press conference at the Combine. That shows growth from the ol' curmudgeon. Maybe he put down his lattes in the offseason and learned a thing or two.13:33 - Now that we've had a day to let it simmer and process...let's revisit Calvin Booth's interview about the fallout between him and Malone. Specifically, the comment about how he made his job "look too easy."31:55 - Oh, by the way...a college basketball team went over 17 minutes without scoring a basket. Oh, by the way...our boy Brendan Sorsby is caught in a lawsuit about whether he did or didn't honor his contract/NIL commitments to Cincinnati before transferring. This is all gonna get worse before it gets better. 

0:00 - The Nuggets beat a top opponent from the East...without Jamal Murray...and they actually played defense...and built a lead late and held onto it...and won a home game...HUH? What is this sorcery?16:13 - No Nathan MacKinnon, no problem. The Avalanche played their first game in a century last night, and beat the Mammoth 4-2 in Utah. How about that wild goal from Parker Kelly to get the scoring started?34:43 - CU lost another coordinator yesterday...Prime's staff continues to play musical chairs. Robert Livingston left CU, went to the Broncos, and took a "worse" job. He's lower on the totem pole now relative to (heh) his old job. What's going on in Boulder, man?

0:00 - After trading Sam Girard, the Avs have a good $8.7 million in cap space to play around with. Knowing Chris MacFarland and how much he enjoys shuffling the deck, we don't think he's done. The NHL trade deadline is a little over a week away. Things could get interesting.13:49 - Tonight, the Avalanche are back in action for the first time in almost a month. The Nuggets have a game tonight too, which means it's time for a Double Keys to the Game aka a Double Keys-A-Roo.After that, former Nuggets GM Calvin Booth went on Kevin O'Connor's podcast and finally shared his side of the story. His side of the infamous Malone/Booth fallout that resulted in them both getting fired last year 3 games before the playoffs. His perspective is...interesting, to say the least.32:27 - Brett Kane's alma mater almost fell through the center of the earth, and now Kaner has a new nickname. 

0:00 - After a (much deserved) 3-week hiatus, Jared Bednar joined us again today! We asked him about the Sam Girard trade, the Olympic break, and the thrilling Gold Medal Match between USA and Canada that featured like half of his Avalanche roster (at least that's what it felt like). 19:57 - Broncos OC Davis Webb will now call the plays on offense. What changes can he/should he make? What do we want to see him try? It's not like he's stepping into a dumpster fire. He has an AFC Championship-caliber team to work with and play around with.34:07 - Oh, by the way...we don't need to use so called "robot umps" to challenge balls and strikes that are a millimeter outside of the strike zone. Oh, by the way...a youth hockey game in Minnesota went to 12 overtimes and STILL wasn't finished.

0:00 - Yesterday at the NFL Combine, Sean Payton announced that Broncos Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb will be calling plays next year. Wow...it finally happened! Good for Davis. Sean's presser felt very open and honest. A tiny bit of Snarky Sean escaped when he was asked about Bo Nix and Predisposed AnkleGate 2K26 (where were you?), but aside from that, it felt like a very natural conversation about this changing of the guard.16:01 - Happy Trails, Sammy G! La Tornade is now touching down in Pittsburgh, PA with the Penguins. Two things can be true. Thing one: Brett's been the biggest defender of Sammy G there is. Poor guy has caught TONS of unnecessary arrows over the years, and he's made a big impact on his team. Thing two: it was time to move on. This trade will be better for everyone involved in the long run. 33:27 - Kaner doesn't think the Avs are done wheeling and dealing yet. Trading Sammy G freed up a good chunk of cap space, so he thinks other moves are on the horizon. After that, Broncos fans are over the moon about Davis Webb taking over offensive playcalling! They're acting like the Broncos offense will suddenly turn into that prolific 2013 offense overnight. It's good that everyone has complete faith! But maybe ease off the gas a bit. We have no idea how Davis Webb truly will look as a playcaller. 

0:00 - Some people have said losing in the gold medal game will make Nate, Cale, and Toews even hungrier to bring Lord Stanley back to Denver. Really? Is that really the case? Do Nate & Cale want to win the Cup more now because they didn't win a gold medal?13:10 - How do the Avs fix their Power Play? Is it a personnel issue? Or are they just too deep inside their own heads? Also, let's dig up the audio of our old friend Nick Tarnasky beating the hell out of a drunk idiot on the golf course. BANG! BANG! BANG!31:20 - Brett happened upon an old video of a Venezuelan baseball brawl. If it happened in an MLB game, people would probably be arrested for assault. 

0:00 - Do Canada hockey fans understand how sports hate and sports trash talk work? Because those hosers to the North have been pretty soft on social media these last few days. 14:13 - The Nuggets have a turnover issue. That much is clear. But the issue isn't how often they're turning the ball over. It's about WHEN they're turning it over.27:39 - Oh, by the way...Lindsey Vonn came THIS close to getting her leg amputated. The doctor saved her leg. Oh, by the way, Jusuf Nukic is having a season-ending procedure on his...nose? Oh, by the way, the field is set for the NCAA Rifle Championship tournament coming up next month. And the competing teams are exactly who you'd expect. 

0:00 - Moser decides to dig up/re-hash his long standing beef with Christian Bale. Don't shatter his dreams!After that...the Avalanche are back in action tomorrow night on the road in SLC vs the Mammoth. Which players from the Olympics will be back on the ice for Colorado? Will any guys get some rest before the final push to the playoffs? What can we expect from this back half of the season?14:47 - Think about how far the Broncos have come in such a short amount of time. Their turnaround has been meteoric. Somehow, the Russell Wilson/Nathaniel Hackett era feels like a lifetime ago. And yet, there are still more tweaks to the roster that need to be made. 36:35 - Yesterday, Zac Veen hit a walkoff MOONSHOT home run for the Rockies in spring training. And he looks HUGE. He's more than 40 lbs heavier than he was last season. Hey man, if that's what it takes to hit dingers, then we're totally here for Jacked Veen.

0:00 - People talk about Olympic hockey "growing the game." Is that really the case? Will fans who enjoyed Olympic hockey now pick an NHL team and be fans for life? How effective is that supposed pipeline?13:47 - The Nuggets had better figure out why they can't close out games. Their schedule only gets tougher from here on out. It won't be an easy stroll into the playoffs. Quite the opposite.Also, now that the winter games are over, will you miss them? How much Olympics did you watch in the past few weeks? Did you enjoy this year's games overall?32:59 - In honor of Nathan MacKinnon's consolation prize plushie (Tina the Stote) that he received with his silver medal, let's go down the rabbit hole of every official Olympics mascot in history in today's Fact Checker.

0:00 - I'm sorry, Podcast listeners. These goal/Merica montages don't sound the same without Free Bird in the background. Stupid copyright rules. I guess you'll have to envision the freedom in your head for the full experience.Anyway, USA beat Canada yesterday in hockey to wrap up the Olympics on a high note. Now look...a silver medal is nothing to sneeze at! That's an amazing accomplishment. But Team Canada looked incredibly crushed and depressed as they received their medals. And what made it worse...they all received a plushie doll of the Olympics mascot too. Nathan MacKinnon had to use every ounce of self control in his system to not rip the head off that damn thing. Moser said that's unacceptable. You canNOT give a grown man a stuffed animal as a consolation prize.17:38 - The Avalanche and the Nuggets are facing similar problems right now. What used to be their greatest strength is now their biggest weakness. What's the fix?30:08 - Oh, by the way...the Cowboys extended Javonte Williams. Is it the right value? Oh, by the way...the Canadian curling cheater spoke up about the controversy. Oh, by the way...the Avs are getting a minor league team in New Mexico!

0:00 - USA MEN'S HOCKEY WON AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1980! And, they defeated our neighbors to the north to secure the gold. What a moment. What a game. Of course, Jack Hughes was the hero of the game with that SNIPE past Binnington in OT. But how about Connor Hellebuyucky? The guy who was a sieve vs the Avalanche in the playoffs is now an Olympics legend. 21:22 - The Nuggets collapsed vs. a depleted Golden State Warriors team yesterday and couldn't finish down the stretch. What kind of bizarro world are we in now? This Nuggets squad used to be KILLERS in the clutch. The 4th quarter was when they played their best! Now, it's their worst quarter. Finishing games makes the difference in the playoffs. Period. They better figure this out soon.35:42 - Canada lost to USA despite being the better team yesterday. They were better on paper AND better on the ice! That's how it goes sometimes. The hockey gods giveth, and the hockey gods taketh away. 

0:00 - Let's rehash a debate from a couple years ago: is it acceptable to hork down BBQ ribs at 7:45am like one Marc Moser?Somehow, the discussion turned into a discussion about sports movies with animals?14:30 - Norway is stacking up Winter Olympics Gold Medals faster than anyone else. They tend to do that. How does such a tiny country at the tippy top of the globe produce so many Olympic winners?32:29 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered. 

0:00 - It's time for a /ML&K tradition: Brett explains why you should be optimistic about the Rockies and their upcoming season. Except this time, he's tempering his enthusiasm. There's still a long road ahead, but it seems like the Rockies might actually maybe possibly potentially make some slight changes that set them in the right direction.17:16 - Should we be concerned about the Nuggets right now? Are there cracks starting to form in this (alleged) championship roster?30:52 - Oh, by the way...Danika Mason is an Australian sports reporter, and she's in Milan to cover the Olympics. She did a live hit on Australian TV while absolutely hammered, and it's fantastic.

0:00 - The Nuggets should've beaten the Clippers last night in LA. But they played VERY sloppy down the stretch and lost the game on a missed free throw. How much should we make of this loss? Are we concerned? Or was this some rust after the All-Star break?16:51 - ALEXA, PLAY FREE BIRD BABY! USA Women's Hockey battled back from a 2-1 deficit, forced OT, then beat Canada to win the Gold. A golden goal for the gold. Take THAT ya hosers. That game was absolutely electric start to finish. Now we just need the men to follow suit.After that, Adam Silver announced some new measures the league will take to prevent teams from tanking. Are any of the ideas actually viable? 37:27 - Big picture, will the NBA ever be able to actually get rid of tanking? Or is that just part of the cost of doing business?

0:00 - Our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold joins us every Thursday! What does Leggy think about all these people including Riley Moss in their hypothetical mock trades? Leggy is a proud Illinois Illini. So what does he think about his Bears leaving for greener pastures in Indiana?15:46 - Giannis keeps being coy about his future in Milwaukee. He's constantly talking out of both sides of his mouth. Here's the latest edition. The Greek Freak has officially pissed off Brett. He might be a candidate for the List.30:55 - Are you locked into speed skating? Or are you done with it like Moser?Also, Fact Checker was pretty rough today. Brett attempted to use a metaphor about how much career Jokic has left, and it wasn't well received by his co-hosts.

0:00 - You know how much Sean Payton loves the hypotheticals! Riley Moss' name keeps popping up in all these hypothetical trades involving the Broncos. Do we really want to get rid of him that badly? Why is everyone so eager to ship him out of town?16:09 - As we get deeper into Olympic hockey, are you rooting for the USA Men's team or Canada? You'd root for USA for obvious reasons (shoutout 'Merica), but so many Avs players are on team Canada? How is this situation any different from USA men's basketball vs Serbia in the 2024 Summer Olympics? 31:33 - Oh, by the way...Happy 31st Birthday, Nikola Jokic! How much longer will he dominate the NBA? How mnay more years does he have left? Oh, by the way...did you see the Chicago Bears are most likely building their new stadium in Indiana?

0:00 -  It went down to OT in each game, but USA & Canada's men's hockey squads both advanced to the semis! Olympic hockey has been nothing short of electric.Even though a bunch of Avs play for Team Canada, Brett and Vic were secretly kinda rooting for them to lose to Czechia. Why is that?16:44 - As great as those hockey games were yesterday, it's a shame they came down to 3-on-3 OT. Keep it 5-on-5 until someone wins. Do it just like the NHL playoffs. Rink scheduling issues be damned!31:49 - We're at the "halfway point" of the NBA season (even though it's not halfway - we're farther than that, but the All-Star break feels like halfway. You know what we mean). So what are reasonable expectations for the Nuggets in the last "half" of the season?

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane LOVE Winter Olympic Hockey, skiing...but curling? The sledding? Not super crazy about 'em.11:25 - Nuggets legend Dan Issel joins the program to reflect on the life of Doug Moe, who passed away on Tuesday.27:32 - Nuggets legend Bill Hanzlik ALSO joins the program to talk Doug Moe, share stories, and celebrate the life of the legendary Nuggets head coach.

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane share a Doug Moe story from the Altitude Sports documentary covering his life and career. The gang also reacts to MLBPA executive Tony Clark resigning, and what that could mean for a potential MLB work stoppage.12:54 - Broncos got some cap space and Tyreek Hill just got released by the Dolphins. Is that a player you take a look at to try and unlock the Broncos offense. Plus, Carmelo Anthony seemed pretty keen on doing a little homecoming with Denver and the Nuggets. Is that worth welcoming back with open arms?31:41 - Another rousing round of "Oh, By The Way..."

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane share their thoughts and memories of legendary Nuggets head coach Doug Moe, who passed away on Tuesday.14:19 - Brand spankin' new Rapids head coach Matt Wells joins the program to talk the season opener, going from the Prem to MLS, and more!33:45 - Another NBA All-Star Weekend come and gone. The new format got some positive reviews, but is it actually Good? Vic, Mose, and Kane aren't quite convinced yet.

0:00 - Brock Nelson had himself a DAY for Team USA yesterday! He scored 2 goals en route of a 5-1 drubbing of Latvia. You love to see it. Can we fast forward to USA vs Canada for the goal already? And more importantly, will anyone be able to stop team Canada?After that, former CU TE and 2x Super Bowl champion Christian Fauria ripped Deion Sanders on Zach Gelb's podcast. He said Deion can't coach, doesn't honor the school's traditions, and needs to string together wins to go with the eyeballs on the program and relevancy. Vic said some of his comments are spot on, but he missed the mark in a few places.14:28 - The Radio Voice of YOUR DENVER NUGGETS Jason "Koz" Kosmicki woke up way to early to chat with us this morning. How is he feeling about this squad at the All-Star Break? 32:49 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

0:00 - Broncos Ownership held a meeting yesterday at La Alma Rec Center. They let fans, journalists, and concerned citizens ask them any/every question about the new stadium and how the plan to develop/re-develop Burnham Yard and the neighborhood surrounding the stadium. DMac was in attendance, so he joined us in studio to tell us what he learned at the Broncos HOA meeting.17:14 - At the Broncos HOA meeting, people were allowed to write their concerns/comments/suggestions on Post-It notes and stick them on a specific wall for all to see! What are some of our favorite Post-Its from the Broncos Country Wall? Somehow, that turned into a fiery debate between DMac and Vic about...bike lanes?32:31 - Oh, by the way...Love him or hate him, you have to appreciate LeBron James' longevity. He still looks like he's 28 years old out there, not 41. Oh, by the way...did you see the NBA want to expand again? Oh, by the way...there's DEFINITELY another MLB lockout coming sooner rather than later.

0:00 - Brock Nelson buried Latvia yesterday in Olympic hockey. He scored 2 goals, and had another one called off due to a penalty! Hey, rest of the world: get ready to learn Free Bird, buddy. USA hockey is comin (both men's and women's!)14:53 - According to Kaner, Bo Nix is Russell Wilson...and that's not actually a bad thing.35:20 - Joe Judge, Ole Miss QB Coach, testified at Trinidad Chambliss' NCAA hearing and had an...interesting take on parenthood that arose during the proceedings. 

0:00 - Is our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold stoked about Australian punters? What's the top priority for the Broncos in the offseason? Are the Broncos Super Bowl or Bust right now?15:21 - Gabriel Landeskog hit the ice for the first time in 5 weeks yesterday...with Team Sweden. And that's fine! It's okay that he returned from injury to represent his country instead of making his return with the Avs! This is a non-story. Don't overthink it.33:01 - The Nuggets needed the All-Star Break desperately. Rest up, boys. Because after the break, the schedule doesn't get any easier. Far from it. The first 6 games after the break are TOUGH.

0:00 - How many CU players will be at the NFL Combine this year? Take a second...think of a guess...think of a number...here's the answer: zero. Not a single CU football player was invited to the combine. For a head coach who touts his ability to find Louis and Gucci in the portal, the data would suggest otherwise. Again, this begs the question: heading into Year 4 at CU, what are reasonable expectations for Neion Deion and his $10 mil/year salary?15:58 - The Avalanche and Nuggets are both squarely in championship or bust windows. But what about the Broncos? If they don't reach the AFC Championship again next year, is it a disappointment? Or would you be okay with that because they "overperformed" this year?26:34 - Oh, by the way...both CU and K-State Men's Basketball got blown out of the water by Texas Tech and Cincinnati (respectively). Both head coaches were frustrated with their team after the game. Understandably so. Also, by the way, they love punting in Australia ESPECIALLY in the Super Bowl.

0:00 - It shouldn't have been a nailbiter, but it was. Whatever. A win is a win. The Nuggets head into the All-Star Break with a dub, as it should be.14:30 - Some people on our radio station who shall remain nameless (but their show name is an acronym for a college degree) said it was weird that Landeskog made his return from injury in the Olympics. He really couldn't play for the Avs before the break? And he's magically healthy to play for Sweden now? Why wouldn't he return after the Olympics?Brett explains why this logic is flawed, and why you should have no problem with Landy's return to the ice representing his country. 34:02 - The NBA overhauled the All-Star Game format in an attempt to make it competitive. Will it work? Kevin Durant says that's up to the international players.

0:00 - Vic chatted one-on-one with Danilo Gallinari since he'll be honored at the game tonight. In that conversation, he asked Gallo a question that you NEVER ask another Italian man. Vic embarrassed the family.The Nuggets are hosting the Memphis Grizzlies tonight in the last game before the All-Star Break. What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?12:33 - Vic's old radio partner once upon a time Kyle Keefe joined the show today to talk about everything from Olympics hockey to cartoon sports broadcasts...since he's doing one later this month.34:15 - With all the aprons and luxury/repeater taxes, it will be tough for the Nuggets to keep Peyton Watson on the roster next year. Aprons be damned. Do whatever you have to do to keep him in Denver.

0:00 - All sports leagues have tried to curb "tanking." If you ask the commissioner of any major sports league, they'll tell you tanking is not a thing! We have measures in place to prevent that. Well if that's the case, how do you explain what the Utah Jazz are doing right now?14:50 - Kris Bryant is still going through a debilitating back injury. Never mind playing baseball. He's just trying to return to a normal quality of life. Shockingly, he'll start the season on the 60-day IL, meaning he'll miss the first 57 games of the Rockies season AT LEAST. What on Earth are the Rockies supposed to do with this guy? He may never set foot on a baseball diamond again, and the Rockies owe him gobs of money for the next few years.That sent us down a rabbit hole of the oldest athletes of all time.34:52 - Oh, by the way...did you see that Norwegian Skiier sprinting uphill on SKIS? At a sub-6 minute mile pace???

0:00 - The Nuggets are playing the struggling Grizzlies tonight at Ball Arena in their last game before the All-Star Break. The goal for the Nuggets is simple. Beat a bad team on your home court, go into the break on a high note, come back healthy and ready to go. Also, Christian Braun spoke to PHD yesterday and gave more information about his injury and recovery process.16:16 - Men's Olympic Hockey prelims start this morning! We won't see US and Canada till tomorrow, but both Finland and Sweden will play today. And it looks like Gabe Landeskog will return to the ice for the first time since his injury.35:02 - Brett has a wish list for the Broncos this offseason. Who does he want to see in oreange and blue? Do we agree? Are his wishes realistic?

The 2025 NFL Season is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Super Bowl 60? Which players might be shuffled around in the offseason? Is the league contemplating any changes? Let's pick Schefty's brain in his last weekly appearance for a while. 

0:00 - The 2025 NFL Season is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Super Bowl 60? Which players might be shuffled around in the offseason? Is the league contemplating any changes? Let's pick Schefty's brain in his last weekly appearance for a while. 19:38 - Why does this Nuggets team continually struggle to closeout games? Last night was yes another perfect example. 32:47 - A Norwegian Skiier won an Olympic bronze medal...then immediately admitted that he cheated on the love of his life. Weird time to admit that, my dude.

0:00 - The NFL wants to expand the window for future picks you can include in a trade. Right now, you can include draft picks that are 3 years in the future. But in the NBA, you can go way farther than that. Hunter Tyson was just traded for a 2032 pick! Brett thinks this is getting out of hand. We're really gonna start shuffling picks from 2050? Everyone settle down.Also, the NBA wants to expand to Seattle and Vegas, unsurprisingly.11:09 - Are you nervous about your Avalanche star players competing in the Olympics? What happens if Nathan MacKinnon or Cale Makar gets hurt competing in the Olympics? Does that feel "worse" than if one of them gets hurt playing in an NHL game?29:56 - Oh, by the way...we have a new daily segment called Oh, By the Way! Every day at 8:45, we're ping-ponging around every sports (or non-sports) story that pops into our heads!
