Christian Braun Secures Five-Year Extension with Denver Nuggets by Jaggy Sports

   It's a numbers game on KKHI today as gas prices, arrests, deportations and polls all make Trump look like, well, Trump.  This is getting so good.    A famous singer complains about the White House posting an AI video of the president in action set to the singer's song.   Pro Football Focus has been the most respected football stat operation in America for years but it may have real trouble ahead.  Wait until you hear the Mahomes stat from Sunday's game that should just end the stat forever.    Texas Tech has pulled the plug on tortilla tossing at games.  But with the stupid rule the Big 12 has, and no separate rule in place at KU's stadium, why wouldn't KSU students bring thousands of tortillas this week and toss them all over the place after the Jayhawks' disgraceful scandal in Lubbock two weeks ago?    The World Series is set after a dramatic game seven in the American League.  Former KU guard Christian Braun hits the jackpot and our Final Final is a famous actor we like talking about the role of a lifetime he missed.

In the fourth and final hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, the guys talk about some of the things that drive them crazy about The Broncos offense and what they'd rather see from Sean Payton.  Mike plays some touching audio from Peyton Manning talking about Demaryius Thomas and why he chose Denver.  And we close out the show with some positives from the game as well as breaking down Christian Braun's new contract.

Mike is getting tired of the Broncos fans out there who are blaming Sean Payton for anything and everything that goes wrong, he and the guys sort through the good and bad decisino that went intothe Broncos' game agaisnt the Giants. In Stink's Telestrator Tuesday breakdown, he looked at the film of the Broncos' first three miserable quarters that set the table for the amazing comeback.

Cecil explained why Christian Braun is his x-factor for the Nuggets this season. The fellas closed out the show explaining why the Broncos need Dre Greenlaw this week against the Cowboys. 

0:00 - Yesterday, DMac asked a pretty blunt (but warranted) question to Sean Payton in his Zoom presser. Today, DMac hopped on the show to defend his question.15:05 - Christian Braun inked a contract extension with the Nuggets yesterday! 5 years x $125 Million. Is that a good deal? Is it an overpay? More importantly, how will impact the Nuggets cap/aapron/confusing CBA stuff going forward?33:20 - Let's use the Harbaugh Hierarchy to evaluate Sunday's Broncos vs Giants game.

The World Series matchup is set after the Blue Jays got past the Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS. The Denver Nuggets and Christian Braun agreed to a 5-year, $125M extension. How important was it to keep him on the team for the next five years? Dre Greenlaw has been suspended one game for chasing down and verbally abusing referee Brad Allen as Allen was leaving the field. Big deal or not so much? Also, Sean Payton was asked at yesterday's presser if he would consider giving up play calling duties. Eric and Bruce react to this and also dive into asking tough questions at press conferences. Tune in to a Tuesday version of Hot Takes with Eric Goodman and Bruce Haertl!

We pause our Broncos conversation as we have breaking news from the Nuggets as they are trading away Michael Porter Jr. and a first-round pick to the Nets for Cam Johnson. We have more breaking news as Bruce Brown is signing a 1 year contract with the Nuggets. How do the guys feel about these major moves for the Nuggets? What does getting off of Michael Porter Jr.’s contract mean for a Christian Braun contract extension? We wrap up the show with explaining the Nuggets first round picks going forward and what we will see from Cam Johnson in a Nuggets uniform.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Phil and Aniello react to Michael Malone’s comments from last night as well as from months ago regarding the NBA MVP. Which quote is actually how Malone feels about who deserves the award? Did Nikola Jokic make Malone who he is? How deserving of the MVP award was SGA? Did the league and the media push for SGA to win the award? Today’s “Three Count” features the “tush push” nearly getting banned from NFL owners but falling 2 votes short, the discourse on Twitter surround SGA’s foul baiting, and Bo Nix throwing out the first pitch at the Rockies and Yankees game on Friday. DenverSports.com’s Jake Shapiro joins the show to discuss where the Nuggets stand in the NBA’s CBA, how does a Christian Braun extension impact the Nuggets finances, and how being in the second apron restricts a team.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys debate if Nuggets players and specifically Jamal Murray will feel too comfortable with David Adelman if he were to be promoted to head coach. What qualities in a new coach would get the best out of Murray? With the Nuggets facing 3 huge questions heading into the offseason, a new head coach, a new general manager, and re-tooling a roster, how do the guys rank them in order of importance? Is it fair to hire the head coach first and then pair him with a GM who didn’t sign off on the coach? We hear from ESPN’s Bobby Marks and his thoughts on what a Christian Braun contract extension would look like. Should Braun be interested in taking a “hometown discount” to stay with the Nuggets? After Aaron Gordon’s gutty performance, Zach asks who is on the Denver Mount Rushmore of most reliable players. We hear from recent Broncos draft pick; Pat Bryant and he shares about the football retreat Bo Nix is putting together.

The Denver Nuggets did not win the NBA championship this season and in a championship or bust era, everything short of that feels like a failure. Nikola Jokic is the greatest player the franchise has ever seen. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are on max contracts. Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun were great supporting cast members. So who is to blame for the Nuggets being in this position?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover. The guys react to the Nuggets crushing game 7 loss over the weekend. Was Alex Caruso the biggest x-factor in the series? How can the Nuggets find their own Alex Caruso type of player? At what point did the guys know the Nuggets had lost the game? Zach and Phil share who their most disappointing player was in yesterday’s game seven. Is there a wrong narrative out there that Jamal Murray had a “good” playoffs? Why did Murray not rise in a game 7 like we have seen him rise in critical moments before? What more could Jokic have done? Did Aaron Gordon separate himself as a Denver legend after playing through a grade 2 hamstring strain on Sunday? How much credit does Christian Braun deserve for going from a question mark coming into the season to being the second best Nugget in Sunday’s game?

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil gave their thoughts on yesterday's Nuggets loss. The guys broke down the playoff stats between this year's Nuggets team and the NBA Finals team. Looking to the future, Cecil explained why Christian Braun is most valuable trade asset for the Nuggets. Closing out the show, Dover told Kissner why he's going to run his social media accounts. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach, Phil and the guys compete in our weekly trivia competition vs the morning show. Can we take advantage of the morning show’s 2-2 performance to win this week? How important is a healthy Aaron Gordon for the Nuggets in game 7? How will the Nuggets handle their first true road game 7 in the Jokic era? Is it time Zach to finally take a victory lap for his take on Russell Westbrook? Were we wrong to assume Calvin Booth was wrong, after we saw Christian Braun and Julian Strawther show up and save the Nuggets season? Has David Adelman locked up the Nuggets head coaching job going forward or does he still need to get past the Thunder? If the Nuggets can pull off a win on Sunday in Oklahoma City, would this be the most impressive series in the Jokic era?

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn goes over what became a Game 3 overtime classic win by the Denver Nuggets over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nikola Jokic struggled a lot, but Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Michael Porter Jr. picked him up with great performances of their own. Christian Braun also defended Shai Gilgeous-Alexander very well, allowing the Nuggets to win this game with defense. Ryan goes over the Game 3 win, the Nuggets' incredible resilience, and whether the Nuggets can actually do this and win this series.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the Nuggets blow out loss in game 2. Would the guys rather have had the Nuggets get blown out or lose in a tight game? We hear from David Adelman and his thoughts on the Nuggets tough night and leaving OKC tied 1-1. Did the Thunder dare Christian Braun, MPJ and Russell Westbrook to beat them from the three-point line? Zach and Phil react to Demarcus Ware’s comments on Nik Bonitto and comparing him to Shaq Barrett and Von Miller. Will Bonitto get his big pay day, and does it help that former players are advocating for him? Is there a chance Bonitto becomes the highest paid pass rusher of all time? The Mikko Rantanen trade has already burned the Avalanche, but it keeps getting worse by the day. Rantanen is setting NHL playoff history and now we have a report that Mikko chose to sign with Dallas over Toronto, so the Avalanche have to see him for the next 8 years. We react to ESPN’s article detailing the biggest hole on every NFL roster, what is the Broncos biggest hole after free agency and the draft? Do the guys agree that the Broncos do not have many holes if any on their roster?
