Podcasts about nugs

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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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.

In the first hour of The Dan Jacobs Show, Dan talks about the Nuggets heartbreaking loss to OKC the previous night and whether he has more faith in the Avs or The Nuggets.  We then welcome in the "Lovely and Talented James Merilatt to discuss The Nugs, Avs, and Sea Payton giving up play calling.  

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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 -  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 - 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?

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.

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.
