Dover and Cecil began the show reacting to last night's Nuggets win over the Nets. The fellas gave their thoughts on the setback of Aaron Gordon's injury. The guys talked about last night's blowout loss for the Avs. Are certain Avs looking disinterested with the Olympics coming up? On Bo's Board, Cecil named a college RB that he would like the Broncos to draft to team up with Bo Nix and the Denver offense. Can Nix make a dramtic jump into Year 3 like Josh Allen did? 

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley without Mark Schlereth open the fourth hour with the best audio of the morning between Bo setting the record straight to Greg Penner talking about how the Broncos have worked through Russell Wilson’s dead cap. They hear how the Broncos’ upper brass is going to approach free agency and it gets the guys talking about George Paton’s pending extension. Mike the Jinx talks Avs fans down after their slump. Stoke goes to Mike and the text line to get some advice for an after-show dilemma. Mike and Stoke listen to Bo Nix talk about Davis Webb and wonder if Bo would prefer to have Webb or Payton in his ear on Sunday’s. They cap off today’s show debating Bill Belichick’s HOF snub and a blubbery coach blubbering at his intro press conference.  

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into Bo Nix's history of injuries and debate if Broncos Country should be concerned. Phil explains why the Broncos need to add more weapons to the offense to take the weight off of Nix carrying the offense while Zach questions why most of the other media members in Denver are brushing off Nix's injuries like it doesn't matter. Today's "Three Count" includes Von Miller saying he would have made the 3rd and 6 play against Drake Maye when Maye ran for the game sealing first down, Bill Barnwell's ranking of NFL head coaching hires since 2021 and where Sean Payton and Nathaniel Hackett landed on the list, and Deion Sanders implementing a fine system for his players for breaking team rules. We breakdown what is going on with the Avalanche after they dropped their 7th game in their last 11. Are the Avs running out of gas after their record-breaking start to the season? 

In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Bo Nix talking about how he injured his ankle against the Bills. How long will Nix actually be out with this injury? The guys then recapped last night's Avs game as they lost to Ottawa. On Bo's Board, Cecil explained why he wants the Broncos to go out and sign David Njoku. What's the latest news with Vance Joseph possibly leaving to becoming a head coach and why did Joe Lombardi get fired? 

Dover and Cecil kicked off the show reacting to Bo Nix's press conference from yesterday that has everyone talking. The fellas reacted to the Avs' tough loss to Ottawa Senators last night. On Bo's Board, Cecil names a tight end that he wants the Broncos to add to help Bo Nix on offense. Do the Broncos need to add another WR to the WR room? The guys discussed if Marvin Mims needs to be more of a WR and less of a PR and KR next year. 

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Mike Klis on if it would be a good idea for the Broncos to re-sign J.K. Dobbins. The fellas reacted to the latest trade rumors surrounding the Avs. What did Bo Nix have to say about Davis Webb with the possibility of Webb getting a job somewhere else. The fellas heard from Nix talking about how hungry he's going to be winning it all next year. The guys closed out the show previewing tonight's Avs game in Montreal. 

0:00 - Jeff Legwold joined us live from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. We asked him about the drama with Bill Belichick and the Hall of Fame...if Jeff's even allowed to tell us anything. Also, what does Jeff think about the Sean Payton/Bo Nix Ankle Surgerygate? Can he explain what Joe Lombardi's role was as Broncos OC and why he got fired? 20:33 - It's a double diparoo tonight, which necessitates a Double KEYS-a-roo! How can both the Avs and Nuggets get bounce-back wins tonight?Also, Greg Penner truly understands his role in the Broncos organization. It's not an owner's responsibility to make nitty gritty roster and personnel decisions. If it is, you end up with dumpster fires like the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns.And somehow, Moser ended up pole dancing in his Montreal hotel room, and Vic took a phone call from his Italian aunt on the air.34:50 - MPJ will face the Nuggets in Denver for the first time since joining the Brooklyn Nets. In honor of his return...it's time..to dust off...IN ITS ENTIRETY...the hottest rap song of 2021...Stepback J Kabloom.

In the 2nd hour, Dover and Cecil heard from J.K. Dobbins saying he's a Bronco. Should the Broncos look to re-sign Dobbins in the offseason? What did Evan Engram have to say after the season and was he happy with his role? The fellas gave their thoughts on Gabriel Landeskog wanting to play in the Olympics coming up. Are the guys fine with any Avs players playing in the Olympics? 

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Greg Penner talking about the new developments on the new stadium. Would the roof have been closed for the AFC Championship game? Dover asked Cecil what helps Bo Nix more, a No. 1 WR or a true No. 1 TE. Based off Penner's comments, Cecil explained why he thinks the Broncos will make a monster trade this offseason. The fellas closed out the show previewing tonight's Avs game. 

This week on the Daly Dose, Super Bowl LX is set as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will be meeting each other in a rematch of their Super Bowl back in 2014.We recap the AFC and NFC title games and take a brief look forward and what we might expect in the big game!Then, we are joined by a very special guest who was recently a very special guest of the Colorado Avalanche!We sit down with cancer survivor Jackson Stroud, as he tells his incredible story. He discusses his hockey injury that completely changed his life, his big night with the Colorado Avalanche and why Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog actually lived up to the hype!Plus we ask for Jackson's way too early pick for the spring's Stanley Cup Final!This is a must listen episode that you won't want to miss! 

In the 2nd hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Jarrett Stidham on if there's a revenge factor in this weekend's game since the Patriots drafted him years ago. The guys reacted to last night's Avs loss to the Ducks. Why couldn't the Avs score early on last night? The fellas reacted to Broncos-Bills game breaking viewership records on CBS. 

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil explained that Jarrett Stidham needs to just play his game and not turn the ball over and take sacks. The fellas reacted to Sean Payton saying that Broncos fans will have two weeks of rest after the AFC Championship game. The guys also reacted to the Avs' loss last night to the Ducks. Did John Franklin-Myers take a shot at Drake Maye? 

We are watching the last few days of the Panarin era in NY, so enjoy it Rangers fans. But where will he end up? The Avs, the Stars, the Panthers, the Bolts, the Ducks??? It's going to be an exciting few weeks. Team Sweden takes a hit ahead of the Olympics. The Professors are back in class giving you dialed in winners for your weekend.

0:00 - It's a term we throw around too much, or at least we used to. Last night, it actually happened for real. The Avs got Goalied™14:55 - DMac made an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston yesterday, and his Boston accent crept out. It happens to the best of us when you least expect it.Also, Stiddy finally addressed the media for the first time since being named the starting QB. How's the Mayor of Stiddy City feeling?36:25 - Why not believe in Stiddy? Why not hop on the hype train? WHY NOT? What do you gain by being a Negative Nancy like Moser?

Bruce Haertl and Troy Renck are in for Hot Takes. The Avs fell in a shootout last night to the Ducks at home and have shown some cracks in the foundation lately. Jarrett Stidham spoke at the podium yesterday. Did Stiddy win the press conference yesterday? How long will it take Stidham to get into the rhythm of the game on Sunday? With the injury to Bo Nix--is Sean Payton playing with house money this weekend and is all the pressure on the Patriots in AFC championship? Plus, a look at the Broncos injuries and who might be back this week. And finally, Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones were elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame earlier this week and will join Jeff Kent for induction this summer. Did the voters get this right?

Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley return as the Avs have officially gotten busy on the trade market as Ilya Solovyov was sent to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a move that gives the Avs some more flexibility on the Salary Cap Plus, they'll unpack a bit of a roller coaster couple of games as the Avs played their worst game of the season against the season against the Nashville Predators, and then bounced back with a great performance against the Washington Capitals #ColoradoAvalanche #GoAvsGo #AvsNation #NathanMacKinnon #CaleMakar #GuerillaSports #Hockey #AvalancheHockey #MileHighHockey #AvsFans #Avalanche2025 #Mikko Rantanen #AvsGameDay #NHLHighlights #DenverSports #AvalancheForever #MakarMagic #HockeyInColorado #StanleyCup #NHL This show is brought to you by RefiJet Did you know you could refinance your auto loan? With RefiJet, you could save around $150 a month—all with just a soft credit pull and zero hassle.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on Bo Nix and how he would feel if the Broncos go on to win a Super Bowl without him. We hear from Drew Bledsoe and his emotions after Tom Brady led the Patriots to a Super Bowl and debate if Nix could have a similar feeling. How realistic is a JK Dobbins return to the Broncos this postseason? The guys answer how they would act in this situation if they were Dobbins and debating coming back to play and risk further injury or go into the offseason fully healthy to sign a new contract. Today's "Three Count" includes the most underrated but impactful plays in the Broncos win on Saturday, the Avs cruising to a 5-2 win over the Capitals, and Indiana finishing off their 16-0 season with a win in the national championship over Miami. We preview the Nuggets and Lakers game tonight on NBC. 

Dover and Cecil opened the show reacting to Indiana winning the National Championship over Miami. The fellas discussed what Sean Payton needs to do to make Jarrett Stidham look good in the AFC Championship? The guys reacted to the Avs and Nuggets games from this past weekend. What's the latest with Valeri Nichushkin and his injury from his car accident? 

0:00 - The Los Angeles Dodgers added ANOTHER high priced free agent yesterday. The rich keep getting richer. MLB NEEDS to put a salary cap in place. Period. It's seems more and more likely that the MLB is headed for another lockout sooner rather than later.Also, Bo Nix has legs and he knows how to use em, or whatever ZZ Top said. The Broncos offense needs to utilize his legs tomorrow so the offense isn't one dimensional. Keep Buffalo on their toes.16:18 - The Broncos offense is so up and down! They run hot and cold. That can't happen tomorrow. Start strong, come out of the gate flying and don't look back. We can't have an inconsistent offensive performance tomorrow.32:07 - Avs are hosting the Predators tonight. What are the keys to a Colorado victory?After that, Oregon QB Dante Moore has decided to return to Oregon for another year instead of declaring for the NFL Draft. Why? How much higher can his ceiling go?

Escuchamos al entrenador de la SD Huesca, Jon Pérez 'Bolo', y analizamos el fichaje del delantero Jordi Escobar con uno de sus compañeros en el AVS portugués, el exzaragocista Jaume Grau.

0:00 - Are the Avs getting healthier? Or did they catch the same plague that we all did? The Avs actually have an extended bit of rest before they host Nasvhille on Friday. How are they using the extra time off? Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar answered all our burning questions this morning.18:02 - We need help! Let's make a call to the bullpen. Darren "DMac" McKee (who puts the D in PHD) taps in for a sick Brett Kane.31:45 - Vic Lombardi sat down for a one-on-one interview with Western Conference Player of the Week Peyton Watson yesterday.

What happens when one of the toughest challenges in vascular medicine—severe arterial calcification—meets breakthrough engineering? In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we sit down with Dr. Robert Chisena, Co-Founder and CTO of Amplitude Vascular Systems (AVS). With a PhD in mechanical engineering and a portfolio of five patents, Robert has dedicated his career to tackling one of the most stubborn barriers in cardiovascular health: hardened arterial blockages that resist traditional interventions. From the labs at the University of Michigan to the founding of AVS, Robert shares how he and his team are developing a next-generation intravascular lithotripsy platform designed to fracture calcium safely and effectively—combining the familiarity of angioplasty with the power of shockwave technology. Along the way, he offers lessons on building IP-rich startups, fostering innovation cultures, securing clinical adoption, and navigating the high-stakes path from spinout to commercialization Whether you're an engineer, entrepreneur, or investor in medtech, this conversation shines a light on the strategies, setbacks, and breakthroughs required to transform a complex clinical challenge into a scalable, life-saving solution.

Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley are back on the mics as they unpack the rare occurrence so far this season, a loss on home ice for the Colorado Avalanche, plus they'll take a closer look at Colorado's 3rd line. Then Jesse and Meghan continue their season-long examination of teh Avs' Power Play, which is maybe finally starting to turn a corner. The two wrap things up by looking ahead to a trade market that might see some movement earlier than you think... This Show is brought to you by Furniture Row - Real Furniture, Real Value furniturerow.com This show is brought to you by RefiJet Did you know you could refinance your auto loan? With RefiJet, you could save around $150 a month—all with just a soft credit pull and zero hassle.

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley kick off today’s show hearing about another incident Stoke had with his very bad Micro Sheepadoodle. The guys let the listeners air their grievances against our resident Bills fan, Zach Bye, for his takes about Saturday’s game. They update the fans on what’s going on with the Avs and the Nuggets. The Broncos got 6 AP All-Pro's, Stoke tries to name them, including one of the most under-the-radar All-Pro's we’ve ever seen. Mike and Stoke are joined by our 9News Broncos Insider, Mike Klis, to get an injury update on the Broncos ahead of their Divisional round matchup and to get his take on the schedule.  

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth open the second hour with a few orders of business about last night’s game. The guys make fun of Zach Bye for his Josh Allen love fest yesterday before they address Jinxy Cat ending the Avs’ home winning streak. Stoke breaks down the dangerous Buffalo running game and pitches some wrinkles for the Broncos offense in his Telestrator Tuesday film breakdown. The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where they cover topics like the weather report for Saturday’s game and Rodgers’ rough retirement.  

Brayden Point’s apparent leg injury has cast doubt over his Olympic availability with just a month to go, forcing Hockey Canada to game-plan potential replacements which will apparently be decided primarily by filling the same role as Point and there is an elite list of candidates. The Toronto Maple Leafs are surging with points in 10 straight, punctuated by an OT win in Colorado that snapped the Avs’ 17-game home win streak. The Eastern Conference is beginning to separate as hot streaks by Toronto, Tampa Bay, and Buffalo contrast sharply with the spiraling New York Rangers, whose brutal 10–2 loss underscored league-worst defensive play and looming roster uncertainty even for players with no-trade clauses. Coaching turmoil hit Columbus as the Columbus Blue Jackets fired Dean Evason after just 45 games and brought Rick Bowness out of retirement to stabilize a team undone by goaltending and late-game collapses, while the New Jersey Devils briefly quieted the noise by snapping a five-game skid with a road win in Minnesota amid ongoing debate over roster moves. Finally, renewed criticism of the NHL playoff format gained traction after Chris Mason highlighted how Western contenders are forced to eliminate each other early, a structure Ray argues undermines the regular season despite the league’s continued support of division-based seeding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00 - The Avs lost a game at home! We're not used to seeing them take an L at Ball Arena. It's one game, and things are still fine. The panic button is still stashed deep in the basement under lock and key.Also, Steve Kerr said injuries are more common in the NBA these days because the pace of play is WAY faster than it used to be. Nuggets legend Dan Issel disagrees.17:44 - Another Gucci bag bites the dust. Jordan Seaton is hitting the transfer portal, and will depart from CU. The Buffs didn't have many good players last year, and one of the few ones they had is gone. Deion, CU, and the new Athletic Director need to take a good long look in the mirror and decide what they want to be.32:37 - Bo Nix is on his rookie contract right now. The Broncos are getting him for a steal! If the Broncos win the Super Bowl this year, will they have to pay Bo immediately? He's gonna secure the bag eventually. Will that timeline change based on his success?

0:00 - The Avalance lost to the Maple Leafs in OT last night at Ball Arena. We're not used to seeing the Avs take home Ls! It's been a while. 15:48 - The Steelers got embarrassed last night in the final NFL Wild Card playoff game. Houston didn't look much better, but their offense made the plays they needed to. Iis it time to move on from Mike Tomlin? Is it time to move on from Aaron Rodgers? Heck, will Aaron Rodgers even be playing football next season?33:05 - The Broncos are a better team overall. But the Bills have the better quarterback. In any given scenario, who has the edge: a better team, or a better QB?

0:00 - OT and Shootouts are not kind to the Avs. Anything after the 3rd period is not Colorado's friend.After that, Vic may have found a good answer for his question about why injuries are more common across all (most) sports these days.18:09 - During Saturday's Broncos vs Bills divisional clash, when will you know if the Broncos can win? What will be the sign(s) that they'll win or lose?>32:20 - George Paton signed a 6-year contract back in 2021, and he'll be due for an extension next year. EXTEND HIM. Aside from a couple blunders, his resume is stellar. The good far outweighs the bad, even when the bad is Russell Wilson.

The Toronto Maple Leafs down the Colorado Avalanche in overtime, ending the Avs' 17-game win streak at home and extending the Leafs' point streak to 10 games. JD Bunkis and Sam McKee break down the game and discuss the significance of the win with a challenging January stretch ahead. Then, they get into Joseph Woll's stellar play, Bobby McMann balling out in his contract year, Matias Maccelli's playmaking, Brandon Carlo starting to gain rhythm, Nicolas Robertson's injury and Auston Matthews rolling back into Hart form.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Maybe let's include a short story about Steve the Maple Leafs fan: Steve had worn the same blue Maple Leafs Jersey every playoff game since 2017. It was faded now, the collar frayed from years of nervous tugging, the logo cracked like old pavement. He was thirty-seven, born in Scarbs, raised on stories of '67, and still believed—stubbornly, stupidly—that this was the year.Auston Matthews was the reason he still believed. Steve had watched 34 become the best pure goal-scorer on the planet. He'd screamed himself hoarse when Auston buried that Michigan against Ottawa, cried actual tears (alone, in the dark) when he potted 60 in '22. Matthews was Toronto's messiah, the one who would finally deliver the city from four decades of exquisite torture. As long as 34 was on the ice, there was still math that could work out.Then came the 2025 playoffs. Steve watched in horror as the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 series lead - but they didn't just blow it - they got annihilated on home ice twice in games 5 and 7. During that Game 7 the camera caught their Captain Auston defeated on the bench: shoulders slumped, mouth slightly open, eyes hollow. Not angry. Not sad. Just… done.Steve turned the TV off before the handshake line. He didn't need to see it.He didn't watch highlights. Didn't read the autopsy threads on Reddit. Didn't even open the group chat that had been alive since junior high. He just sat in his House, jersey still on, staring at the blank screen.. Steve told himself he was only flipping channels the next season. But then he saw this wonderful hockey team and stayed.Nathan MacKinnon was a hurricane in human form. Cale Makar moved like he'd been taught gravity as an optional setting. And the Avalanche played like they were personally offended by losing. Fast. Mean. Joyful. They didn't clutch, they didn't collapse, they just… won. MacKinnon took the puck coast to coast, split the defense like scissors through paper, and roofed it. The bench exploded. Makar jumped the boards to hug him like a little brother. The crowd in Ball Arena sounded like a jet engine. Steve felt something shift in his chest. Not betrayal, exactly. More like waking up in a room you didn't realize you'd been locked inside for twenty years. He started watching more. Quietly at first. Then he bought the red hat. Then the Makar jersey arrived (he told himself it was “just comfortable”). By the Holiday Break he was yelling at the TV again, but this time the yells ended in goals. He was screaming into a pillow so the neighbours wouldn't call the police. Alone. Steve stared at the screen for a long moment. He didn't feel smug. He didn't feel superior. He just felt… tired. Tired of waiting for someone to save him. Tired of loving a team that kept asking him to hurt. He pulled the old blue hoodie out of the closet one last time. Smoothed the cracked logo with his thumb. Then he folded it carefully, placed it in the bottom drawer, and closed it.The next morning he wore red. He still loved Auston Matthews. Probably always would. But love, Steve had finally learned, doesn't mean you have to keep bleeding for it. Sometimes you just skate away. And for the first time in his life, the ice felt like freedom instead of punishment... Go Avs Go he secretly whispered before heading into work the next day - This story is entirely accurate and Steve is currently living his life as an secret Avs fan.

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth kick off the third hour previewing the Broncos’ matchup with the Bills. Is the key to victory Bo’s legs? The guys check in on the Jokic-less Nuggets and the rolling Avs. They debate the way Bears coach Ben Johnson conducted himself after beating the Packers. They make their predictions for the National championship game and Stink breaks down Fernando Mendoza’s game as the Raiders’ presumptive next QB. The guys break down the Broncos’ weaknesses on defense ahead of the divisional round before addressing some Merilatt twitter drama.  

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil previewed the upcoming Broncos-Bills game. Cecil explained why he wants Sean Payton to unlock Marvin Mims. Should we be worried about the Avs' power play and can it be an issue heading into the playoffs? Dover talked about why he's giving flowers to Zeke Nnaji this season. 

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' win over the Vancouver Canucks over the weekend to extend their point streak to nine games. They discuss the recent winning stretch before looking to the test ahead, which kicks off with another measuring stick match against Colorado on Monday. Then, they chat about Dougie Hamilton's availability and whether the Leafs should be sending offers for the Devils' distressed asset. Later, the guys weigh in on Matias Maccelli overtaking John Tavares' spot on the top power play unit and Anthony Stolarz's looming return before welcoming in former NHLer and Avs analyst John-Michael Liles (30:50) to help tee up Toronto's matchup against Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and the Avalanche. Finally, Nick, Justin and Sam react to the Columbus Blue Jackets firing head coach Dean Evason and hiring Rick Bowness.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

0:00 - NFL Wild Card weekend is (almost) in the books. What are Adam Schefter's takeaways? Will Matt LaFleur have a job in Green Bay next season? Why do Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur have beef? Was it unprofessional for that Jacksonville reporter to console Liam Coen in the postgame press conference? Let's pick Shefty's brain on all of it.19:19 - Avs are hosting the Leafs tonight at Ball Arena! What are the keys to an Avs victory?Also, can we get Moser to call tonight's game using an Old Timey announcer voice?34:30 - What's your top priority: watching the Broncos playoff game this Saturday? Or going to the Stock Show with your Mother in Law?
