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 - 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 - 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?

0:00 - The Nuggets collapsed late in the game last night and lost to the new-look James Harden Cavaliers. Yet ANOTHER home loss! What's going on with this squad?16:56 - Seconds after the Super Bowl wrapped up, the internet was flooded with WAY TOO EARLY PREDICTIONS FOR NEXT SEASON, BABY! Who's slated to win Super Bowl 61? How about the AFC West? Will the Broncos hang onto their crown?36:04 - The NBA's Western Conference is STACKED. We're approaching the home stretch, and it'll be a photo finish. The 2 seed and the 7 seed are only separated by 5 wins. Realistically, where will the Nuggets land? What's feasible?

0:00 - The only move the Nuggets made yesterday was to trade Hunter Tyson, essentially for a salary dump and an open roster spot. They also converted Spencer Jones' two-way contract to a regular contract to keep him here. So they can add one more player and that's it. What need should they try to fill?The NFL Honors Awards were last night, and the Broncos didn't win anything. We thought Sean Payton MIGHT have a shot at Coach of the Year, but Mike Vrabel taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl in his first season was tough to beat. Also, Matt Stafford got MVP...by ONE vote. ONE single vote. Someone cast their vote for Justin Herbert and he's getting killed online for it.22:36 - We used to love him, and now...we're officially done with him. The Greek Freak needs to shut his trap. He's approaching being on The List.34:11 - It's hard to believe Sam Darnold's turnaround. He was left for dead in New York, left for dead in Carolina, revived his career with the Vikings who still cut him, and now he's in the Super Bowl in his first year with Seattle. Unbelievable. Meanwhile, look at the Vikings right now. They're in freefall. Just listen to what Justin Jefferson had to say (or didn't say) about his QB. 

0:00 - Christian Braun came back to the lineup, but the Nuggets lost to the Pistons in Detriot. It's tough to find any consistency from the Nuggets because the lineup is constantly changing. Guys are getting healthy, other guys are getting hurt, etc. Coach Adelman is throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. 19:42 - Of all the celebrities Vic's met at Radio Row, he met the greatest of all of them last night. He ran into none other than Mel Owens. The Golden Bachelor. Vic asked him if our very own (happily married, by the way) Marc Moser could ever become a Golden Bachelor himself.36:22 - Supposedly, Davis Webb was a candidate for a bunch of different OC jobs around the league. He received some offers to coach elsewhere. So, why did he stay with Denver?

0:00 - It's tough to get into a rhythm right now, since Nuggets players are entering and exiting the lineup left an right. Joker and CB are finally back, but they're still shaking off the rust. Adelman is changing things on the fly and doing the best he can with who he has.14:27 - There's a Double Diparoo tonight, which necessitates a Double Keys-A-Roo! What are the keys to a Nuggets victory over the Knickerbockers, and an Avs victory over the Sharks?After that, Vic is in SF at Media Row and he met our hero. Our idol. Our friend(?) Mel Owens. The Golden Bachelor. Vic asked Mel if Moser would ever have a chance of becoming the Golden Bachelor. And let's just say...Mel is on Moser's "List" now. 31:32 - The NBA All-Star break is (mercifully) about 2 weeks away. What are our biggest concerns with the Nuggets right now?

0:00 - Some texters accused us of making excuses for the Avs! We never faily criticize the players or the coaches. We're too soft. Is that the case? Are we not being hard enough on the Avs who are clearly sputtering right now? Or are they elsewhere mentally and in desperate need of the Olympic break?11:15 - Nuggets are in Detriot taking on the Pistons. What are the Keys to a Nugs victory?Which winter sports are we keeping? Which ones are we getting rid of? It's time for our time-honored Olympics tradition where Moser evaluates every sport one at a time. 33:32 - Vic is live at Radio Row for the Super Bowl Media Week, and he ended up sharing a table with some dude from Wichita. Does he have anything good to say? Let's put him on the mic. Why not?

0:00 - The Nuggets faced OKC for the first time this season, and lost 121-111 at Ball Arena. We can cry about the whistles all we want, and we probably will. But it doesn't change the fact that OKC is still the gold standard in the West. They're still the man, and to be the man ya gotta beat the man. Figure out how to beat them.16:19 - Nathan MacKinnon accused Erik Johnson on rocking a spray tan on Saturday during the Avs @ Red Wings broadcast. EJ is one of the only guys who can get Mack to act like a normal human instead of the stone cold hockey machine he usually is.35:30 - There have been a multiple goalie fights this season! What's in the water? We didn't have any goalie fights for years, and now there are multiple in the same season? Also, who don't goalies have to serve penalty minutes? Get in the box, buddy. Your team either plays with an empty net for 2 min, or the backup comes in for 2 min. 

0:00 - The Thrill of Victory, and the Agony of Defeat. That's how the Double Diparoos go sometimes. Even though he took that L on the way out, MPJ looked great in his return to Denver as member of the Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, the Avs sleepwalked through whatever the hell that effort was in Montreal.16:52 - Davis Webb withdrew his name from the Raiders Head Coach search. Does this mean he'll be the Broncos OC now? Would Sean Payton let him call the plays?33:11 - Drake Maye is "limited in practice" right now with a shoulder injury. Did that happen during the AFC Championship game? Or was it lingering from before?

0:00 - Aaron Gordon, welcome to the DENVER NUGGETS RE-EVALUATED IN 4-6 WEEKS CLUB! These poor Nugs can't stay healthy. At least David Adelman gave us some good news yesterday about Jokic's recovery progress. 13:34 - Ja'Quan McMillian is a restricted free agent. Should the Broncos retain his services? How about the rest of their impending free agents on defense?31:12 - The Avs are stuck in the mud right now, man. The Colorado Wagon has come to a complete stop. 

0:00 - The Nuggets had a chance to win, but fell short of beating the Pistons last night at Ball Arena. It is what is it. Chalk it up to the travel debacle where they couldn't get out of Memphis. They sat on the tarmac for ages, and made it back to Denver less than 24 hours until tip. It is what it is. But, one positive takeaway: Jamal Murray was very open and honest in his postgame presser. He actually took responsibility for his mistakes instead of being flippant and dismissive with the media. 15:02 - The Law Firm of Payton and Paton addressed the media to wrap up the season. Even though they reached the AFC Championship, this team needs to make some adjustments in the offseason. Both Payton and Paton understand that.34:05 - Right now, the Broncos have Bo Nix dirt cheap on his rookie contract. They HAVE to capitalize on this window. How will Sean and George maximize their opportunities before they have to pay Bo?

0:00 - Yesterday, Mike Florio published an article about the AFC Championship saying that the snow made it unwatchable. He suggested that the championship games should be played at a neutral site with good weather, like the Super Bowl, to ensure a watchable product. Vic agrees with the snow part of it. That's not "football weather." It completely ruined the ending of the game. 12:46 - DMac went BACK to the same NESN (Boston TV) show that he was on last week, so he could face the music. Good for him, but MAN he let that host tear him a new one. Stick up for yourself, Darren!29:29 - Shedeur Sanders was officially named to the Pro Bowl. Look, no disrespect to Shedeur. We're all rooting for him to find success in the NFL. But a Pro Bowler? Nah man.Also, they Nuggets FINALLY made it back to Denver and will play the Pistons tonight at Ball Arena. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

0:00 - Moser has a great story about an angry pig, and we'll get back to it any minute now.Also, Nuggets are in DC tonight to face the Wizards. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?13:20 - It seems like we aren't taking Drake Maye as a serious threat. Why is that? Should we be worried about him?30:54 - An old friend swung by the studio today, and it turns out things haven't changed a bit.

0:00 - Indiana completed their improbably journey yesterday. They went from the cellar to the Penthouse in just 2 seasons. It proves that we're entering a new era of college football. The SEC no longer "just means more." The transfer portal and NIL have completely leveled the playing field.Also, yesterday marked the anniversary of one of Brett Kane's all-time favorite soundbites.15:25 - Nuggets are hosting the Lakers tonight. What are they keys to a Nuggets victory?Also, Drake Maye can SLING it. He can move the football down the field, and Brett has the numbers to back it up.34:20 - The ending to last night's CFP Championship Game was like something out of a movie. You couldn't have written a better ending to a Heisman-winning QB's historic season.

The Nuggets win streak ends at 4 as the Hornets came to Ball Arena and beat the Nugs 110-87. Up next the Nuggets take on the Lakers at Ball Arena on Tuesday night.

0:00 - Brett Kane is fighting the Denver Plauge, so DMac is back in studio to drive the bus.Second night of a back-to-back, no Jokic, no problem. The Nuggets beat Dallas last night in Dallas and they're now #2 in the West. This stretch of non-Jokic games has gone better than any of us could've predicted or imagined, and it's awesome.15:46 - Did Moser actually do some research into Saturday's Broncos game?? Did he look something up and then draw a conclusion based on what he found?? Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit.35:40 - We tweeted something that angered Bills Mafia. They've staged an electronic attack on us that we haven't seen since the Greeks and Panathanaikos fans this summer.

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 Avs just returned from a 3 game road trip out East. They won one, and lost back-to-back games in regulation. Plus, Landeskog got injured and will miss some time. All things considered, how is Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling about his squad right now?Plus, let's get Coach's thoughts on a particularly loaded Moseys category. After Coach, the next Moseys category is: Best? Worst? Sexual Tension.21:00 - The Nuggets are FINALLY on the last game of their marathon East Coast road trip. Tonight, they face the Celtics in Boston?After that, we still have so many awards to give out! Next Mosey Categories: Mispronunciation, Best Moser Rant, (Mostly) Vic Not Listening.36:16 - Let's wrap up a long, fruitful, 2026 Mosey Awards. The final categories are We're All Professionals Here, Best Drunk Take and then...the highly coveted Ed Sprinkle Lifetime Achievement Awards, where we lift one of our clips into the proverbial rafters. It's essentially our version of a jersey retirement. 

0:00 - The most predictably unpredictable win EVER! The Nuggets always pull these crazy games out of their hat. In Philly, second night of a back to back, everyone either hurt or resting...and you beat a fully-healthy 76ers squad. One of, if not the greatest, Nuggets win of all time.Next, it's our favorite day(s) of the year. The Moseys are back. It's our annual awards show where look back on all the stupid things we've done in the past year. First category: Worst Bodily Function.18:14 - Of all the AFC teams that the Broncos could face in the divisional round...is there one that you'd prefer? Is there a matchup that best suits the Broncos?Next Moseys category: Worst (Best) Use of the Dump Button.34:38 - The NCAA Transfer Portal is open, and already, all hell has broken loose. That didn't take long.Next Moseys category: Worst Live Read. 

0:00 - Your Nuggets hexed the Magic at Ball Arena! Their home losing streak is dead and buried. And just consider this...the Nuggets are still playing this well WITHOUT AG and CB. Imagine how good they'll be when the boys are back.18:00 - Last night's tilt between the Seahawks and Rams was one of the wildest NFL games we've seen, Thursday Night Football or otherwise. It featured the most unsuccessful successful 2pt conversion of all time. Hope you watched every minute of that game.34:49 - The CFP backet kicks off this weekend. What are we expecting from the first round? Does James Madison have a snowball's chance in hell of beating Oregon? Since we're making predictions...Moser has an impromptu mini-edition of LAY IT DOWN!

0:00 - How's THAT for a DOUBLE WINAROO? Both the Nuggets and the Avs blew out their respective opponents last night. We're getting used to winning in the Mile High City.15:18 - It's a bit early, but are there some potential trade moves the Nuggets and Avalanche should make? Do they have some capital to use? Or should they keep their young players and continue developing them?After that, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers collapsed on Thursday Night Football and lost to the Falcons at the buzzer. Bucs' coach Todd Bowles was disgusted with his team's performance and dropped about 10 no-no words in the span of 25 seconds after the game.34:57 - Coach O joined Bussin' With the Boys recently and told a crazy story about recruiting Joe Burrow to play at LSU. Recruiting used to be wild back in the day, and somehow the NIL/Portal era has made it even wilder.

B0:00 - 10 straight wins! 11-2 record. How does THAT sound for your Denver Broncos! They beat the Raiders in Vegas last night and, once again, stand alone atop the NFL standings.16:46 - What did Sean Payton and Bo Nix have to say yesterday after their win in Vegas?34:18 - The Broncos weren't the only Denver teams winning this weekend! Both the Avs and Nuggets had a stellar weekend as well. In fact, yesterday was the 11th time the Avalanche, Nuggets, and Broncos all won on the same day. 

0:00 - Vic, Mose, and Mat Smith discuss the wiiiiiiide gap between the Broncos and the Raiders and whether or not the final score should reflect that reality. Plus, the gang ponders some words from PHD's Tyler Polumbus about the 2015 Broncos and some differences between that squad and this year's squad...besides the obvious.16:28 - The gang decides that they have no idea what goalie interference is after last night's Avs game, where they lost to the Islanders on Long Island.36:41 - If the gang was perplexed by the Nuggets dropping four straight at home while winning eight straight on the road, so is Nuggets head coach David Adelman. Plus, keys to the game for the Nugs as they take on the Hawks tonight.

0:00 - I feel like a broken record here, but your Colorado Avalanche are RED HOT right now! Yesterday, they beat the Canucks 3-1 to continue their hot streak at Ball Arena. What does Head Coach Jared Bednar think of this squad that continues to climb up the NHL standings?15:44 - Yesterday, Danilo Gallinari announced his retirement from professional basketball. Vic pulled some Italian strings and got Gallo on the show today. He reflected on his time in Denver under George Karl, days that he remembers fondly. Also, international players are dominating the NBA right now, especially Europeans. How did the rest of the world catch the US in basketball?41:45 - We're so lucky to have Jokic and MacKinnon in the same town playing at the same time. These are the good old days. Never forget that, Denver.

0:00 - The gang talks Nuggets after their 131-121 loss to the Mavericks at Ball Arena. What's this team missing? Besides AG and CB of course. Is it Spencer Jones? Do the Nugs need to build their whole team outta Spencer Jones?16:13 - The numbers haven't been crazy or flashy...but Bo Nix has put together a serious portfolio this season. Stacking comeback wins on comeback wins, does that give him an edge over Drake Maye? The gang does some pocket watching on the Pats and if their dominant wins put the Broncos in a little bit of an advantageous postion.35:24 - The Avalanche take on the Canucks tonight at Ball Arena, after that they hit the road for about a week for a trip to the east coast. Before they do all that, though, Moser drops his Keys to the Game for Avs/Nucks.

Vic, Mose, and Mat react to last night's thriller OT win for the Broncos over the Commanders and their spot at the top of the NFL with the best record in the league. Are they nitpick-proof? Is luck being a component of this nine game win streak totally fine? Is there any question comment or concern worth discussing at this time?Plus, what's up with the Nuggets slumping at home? The gang reacts to the Nugs not escaping the Group of Death with a Friday loss to the Spurs. Just don't get 'em started on the Cup courts.

0:00 - Are the Browns ready to commit to Shedeur Sanders after the big win in Vegas yesterday? Are the Chiefs for real (again?) after their comeback win at Arrowhead? Let's pick the brain of ESPN's Adam Schefter. 14:09 - The guys reacted to Schefty's takes on the Chiefs being for real, and the Broncos being legit Super Bowl contenders.Next, Mat had a very awkward interaction with a stranger on a plane yesterday...but who hasn't had one of those? More importantly, was Mat in the wrong? Or did handle the situation correctly?33:14 - Niners are hosting the Panthers tonight on Monday Night Football. Do we care about that game? Should we care?Next, the Nuggets are entering a brutal stretch of their schedule. They're gonna take about 1000 flights in the next 10 days. But who's counting? Vic wonders who designed this part of their schedule, and why they did it. 

It's the Holliday Season, we got turkey-tits, pineapple pie, and porno trading cards over on our new website; shootbigloads.com

0:00 - The Nuggets bounced back with a good win last night in NOLA! They came close to blowing it, but they didn't, and that's what matters. What are our impressions of this squad 14 games into the season?15:33 - We have Bye Week Blues here in the Mile High City...it's got us doing some thinking...Brett tried to imagine the best case scenario and the worst case scenario for the Broncos on the back half of the season.32:47 - Some of our texters/twitchers have theorized that Sean Payton might be saving a chunk of his playbook for the postseason. That's why he's not utilizing Marvin Mims in the regular season. He's playing him close to the vest. But we think that's a ridiculous notion.

0:00 - Last night, the Nuggets beat the Pelicans in NOLA. A much-needed get right win. Vic said the energy changed for the Nuggets when THIS player entered the game. Did you catch who it was?14:58 - With Chad Brown, everything from Bowling to Broncos to Buffs is on the table. What does Chad think about the 9-2 Broncos at the bye?35:42 - Avs hosting the Rangers tonight at Ball! What are Moser's keys to an Avalanche victory?

0:00 - Do your best Marc Moser impression, people. IT'S THE NBAAAaaAAaaAAAAAaa. The Nuggets completely blew it to the Bulls last night. At home! That ruins our city's spotless home winning record. How much are we freaking out about this? Is it a bad loss? Or is it just one of those games that happens in an 82-game season?16:12 - Heading into the bye week, the Broncos are 9-2. They have the best record in the NFL. They've won 8 in a row. So...are we now prepared to say the Broncos are legit Super Bowl contenders? Why or why not?33:41 - What do all 3 Nuggets losses have in common? 

0:00 - There's one very underrated aspect of the Broncos win over the Chiefs. Brett wants to give it some love, because it's something we haven't seen yet this season.16:03 - Avalanche goalie Scott Wedgewood joined K&L yesterday and talked about the upward trajectory he's been on as of late.Next, Cam Skattebo was hanging out at WWE yesterday tussling with some wrestlers. That's fun. Except for the fact that HIS ANKLE WAS BACKWARDS LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO. Dude, your leg is all jacked. Don't be shoving wrestlers while you're healing!31:33 - Should we be freaking out about last night's Nuggets loss to the Bulls? Or is just a blip on the radar of an 82-game season? What's the proper way to feel?

0:00 - Let's evaluate how everyone did in the Broncos vs Chiefs game by using...the Harbaugh Hierarchy!Next, who did a better job defending their QB: Adam Trautman or Seahawks LB Ernest Jones?16:22 - James Franklin got fired like 2 weeks ago, and he just got hired again. Hey James...your buyout from Penn State is massive! Why not take a few months off? Go enjoy some nature! Do some TV hits! Blow off some steam!Also, if you want to know what greatness personified is...it's Nikola Jokic. Vic explains.37:39 - The Nuggets completely blew it to the Bulls at home last night. But you know what looked good all night long? That black rainbow skyline court in Ball Arena. Man, that thing is sexy.

0:00 - Riley Moss addressed the 2 crucial PIs called against him that gave the Chiefs 2 of their 3 biggest plays on offense. After that, Snarky Sean is back! He made a classic appearance in the postgame press conference yesterday. We did our best to recreate him ourselves. 19:57 - Another wild week in the books! Let's take a look Around the NFL.34:55 - Which Broncos players were in the groove yesterday? Also, let's not forget both the Avs and Nuggets had big wins this weekend as well! The Ball Arena roommates are rollin right now!

0:00 - The Ball Arena roommates are ROLLIN right now! They're both unstoppable forces. Gabe Landeskog finally got a goal that wasn't waived off, and Jokic cemented himself as the most efficient athlete of all time.14:26 - Why are both the Avalanche and Nuggets so good right now and winning games they would've lost in previous years. Depth. It's that simple. These rosters are they most complete they've ever been. Even more complete than the championship years. 31:44 - The more and more Brett thinks about this Broncos vs Chiefs clash on Sunday the more and more nervous he gets...because no matter what the numbers say, the Chiefs are still the Chiefs. If the Broncos get into a weird 10-7 Raiders Thursday Night Football-esque slog with the Chiefs, doesn't it feel like Patrick Mahomes would slither out a win at the last second like he always does? 

0:00 - ESPN's Adam Schefter joins us live from a NYC Deli to give us the national perspective on the enigmatic Broncos that somehow keep finding ways to win. 19:11 - Right now...who has a better chance to win it all: Avalanche or Nuggets? 32:42 - JK Dobbins got hip drop tackled on Thursday Night vs the Raiders, and he said it tweaked his ankle a bit. Not a break or anything season-ending, but he limped off the field and didn't return to the game. We're awaiting further evaluation, and hoping he'll be back on Sunday.Even though refs are supposed to penalize hip drop tackles this year, they're so tough to identify in the moment, especially in the middle of a scrum. 

0:00 - 2 Avalanche games, 2 Nuggets games, 4 wins this weekend. Dominant performances by the Ball Arena Roommates. What were the highlights of the, well, highlight-filled weekend?16:21 - We're more than halfway through the NFL season, and we still don't know who's good and who isn't. Let's take a look around the insane, unpredictable NFL weekend that was. 32:54 - Brett had to create a new word to explain how he's feeling about the NFL. Is Kaner being a Historicist when it comes to evaluating NFL teams?

0:00 - It's so hard to wrap our heads around these enigmatic Broncos. But all accounts, they shouldn't be winning with the struggling offense they keep putting on the field. But why are they winning? Because their defense is ELITE. If the offense could play even SLIGHTLY better, who knows how good this team would be?12:06 - How do we feel about Bo right now? Are you starting to lose faith in him at all? Is your BOlief slipping even a little bit? Or do you still Bolieve as much as always?34:31 - The Rockies actually hired someone! They have a new Head of Baseball Operations AND they hired him from outside the Rockies organization! Go figure! Do we like the hire?Also, the Nuggets are playing the Warriors tonight in PIPING HOT EMIRATES NBA CUP GROUP STAGE ACTION BABYYYYYY!!!! What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?

0:00 - The Nuggets finally beat the Minnesota Basketball Timberwolves! It actually happened! Granted, Anthony Edwards wasn't playing but it still counts. The new-look Nuggets are starting to figure it out. Jamal Murray looks ready to go!14:06 - PSII got banged up in the Cowboys game, and it's looking like a pectoral strain. He may head to IR after further evaluation. If PSII is sidelined for 4-6 weeks, will the Broncos be fine without him?36:07 - The Dodgers won Game 3 of the World Series last night...IN 18 INNINGS! They played TWO FULL BASEBALL GAMES against the Jays. Insanity. Shohei had another incredible night. He continues to reach new heights on the biggest stage. However, Moser can't swallow his pride and compliment Shohei because that would mean giving love to the Dodgers.

0:00 - The Broncos offense came alive yesterday. THAT'S the game we've wanted to see from the offense FOREVER. And good for all the rookies getting involved. That was complete all-around dominance.13:50 - Any. Given. Sunday. Let's relive all the madness from yesterday and take a look around the NFL.31:51 - Which Broncos players were In the Groove yesterday? After that, the Nuggets are playing the Boogeyman tonight: The Minnesota Timberwolves. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

0:00 - HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!? Denver destroyed Dallas yesterday at Mile High and finally put on the offensive clinic we've been waiting for. Was this game more about Denver's offense going off, or Dallas' defensive issues?16:06 - After 8 games, how do Broncos fans feel about Riley Moss? He drew a lot of criticism early in the season. Do those feeling still linger? Or are people a fan of his now?After that, CU's game vs Utah was like a car crash. It was so awful and terrible, and yet we couldn't look away. How do you make sense of that horrible of a performance coming OFF A BYE WEEK!?34:54 - The Avs went 0/2 on their east coast road trip, and lost back-to-back games in OT. So at least they get 2 points out of it. That's nice. But what's going on with the Avs? Why can't they win games in regulation?On the flipside, the Nuggets had a DOMINANT performance against the Suns. Phoenix isn't good, but still, Denver took care of business and looked GOOD doin it. 

0:00 - Our first Double Diparoo of the season was a double Lossaroo. The Avs/Nordiques fell to the Hurricanes/Whalers in a shootout, and the Nuggets lost to the Warriors in OT. What are the positive and negative takeaways from both games? 21:28 - As the week goes on...Brett's feeling more and more nervous about the Cowboys coming to town on Sunday. Why is that doubt slowly creeping in?33:34 - Yesterday, we had to bump Chad Brown so we could listen to the FBI's press conference about the sports gambling/betting probe. Chad joined us today, and was very understanding that he got reshuffled for the Feds.

0:00 - Moser had to leave early today to travel east with the Avs. But we couldn't miss this segment for the world. So earlier than we usually do...it's time...to take all your spare change from the satchel...and LAY IT DOWN!16:48 - Our first Double Diparoo of the young season was a Double Losearoo. In a nutshell, what went right and wrong for both the Avs and Nugs?30:01 - The Broncos HAVE to take advantage of the weak Cowboys defense. Brett explains what the Broncos offense needs to do to get rolling early (instead of doing nothing for 3.5 quarters, then scoring 33 points...not that there's anything wrong with that?)

0:00 - News broke during the Appetizer Hour that the FBI arrested both Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups as part of a probe into "illegal sports better and poker games schemes." FBI Director Kash Patel will address the media later today with more info. Until we get that info, we don't want to speculate. But no matter what, it's hearbreaking to see Chauncey's name come up.16:23 - Sean Payton addressed the media yesterday and clarified the now-infamous Dart/Russ comment. He also qiubbled with reporters about Denver's 5-2 record, and all the screen plays. Sean loves a good quibble!35:42 - More news is developing throughout the morning about this illegal gambling/betting probe by the FBI. After that, the Nuggets take the court tonight against Golden State! It's championship or bust for the Nuggets. Period. No excuses this time.

0:00 - FBI Director Kash Patel addressed the media and explained the details of the FBI's investigation into the NBA surrounding illegal gambling & betting practices.14:54 - US Attorney Joseph Nocella dug deeper into the details of the FBI's NBA probe, and explained Chauncey Billups' involvement in everything.31:32 - The Avalanche are at home against the Hurricanes, and the Nuggets begin their season on the road at Golden State. What are they keys to victory in both of those games?

0:00 - Brett has an interesting take on the Avalanche PP and the Nuggets bench, and how they're in similar situations. After that, the "Chiefs benefit from favorable calls" narrative just won't go away. The latest controversy was Detriot's trick play TD on Sunday Night Football that the refs took off the board. Dan Campbell addressed on his radio show this week and added some more fuel to the fire.18:15 - (Producer's note: again, I'm sorry you can't hear the music coming back from break. I edited together another silly piece that used copyrighted music. Instead, enjoy our awkward laughter acapella.)The Rockies have begun the search for a new GM and word on the street is they're actually looking externally! Outside their organization! For someone with a new perspective! Say it ain't so!After that, we often get too emotional about sports. Or do we? How emotional is "too" emotional?33:46 - A KHL referee has been banned for life over a blown call. Sheesh...can you imagine if we did that here in the states? Also, the Celtics coaching staff played against Celtics media members in a scrimmage, and the coaches OBLITERATED the media. Feels like Joe Mazzulla had a message he wanted to send...

0:00 - That Broncos vs Jets game was so incredibly bad and boring. It set the game of football back decades. Maybe they were trying to win over the Brits by only kicking the football. I digress...we asked Adam Schefter if he was able to stomach the whole thing, then got Schefty's thoughts on the NFL weekend that was.18:14 - The Chargers and Chiefs both won yesterday. The AFC West is looking like the AFC wild wild West. Broncos NEED to consistently move the ball on offense to keep pace. And their offense runs incredibly hot and cold. Yesterday proved one thing to us: they really miss Ben Powers and need to figure out how to stay afloat while he's out.34:11 - It's only preseason, but the Revamped Nuggets are looking sharp out there. Thank goodness we successfully secured Valanciunas and didn't let him go to Greece. Also, the Avs lost to the Stars again on Saturday. The curse lives on. The Avs power play is still not where it needs to be. Fans in Ball Arena booed their own squad, and Nathan MacKinnon wasn't having it.
