With the right kind of weird to get Portland through the workday. © 2025 Audacy, Inc. Sports https://player.
0:00 - The Avs and the Nuggets are in different situations roster-wise. The Nuggets might know what they need to do, but don't have the cap room to do it. Meanwhile, the Avalanche don't know WHAT to do, and maybe they don't need to do anything! They're different sides of the same weird coin.15:14 - Vic hosted Von Miller's Von's Vision fundraiser last night, and he got the Vonster to give us a few minutes this morning! Von has publicly campaigned for a return to the Broncos for years now. Why? Why does he want to come back? What would his role be?32:49 - Yesterday, Claude Lemiux tragically passed away at the age of 60. RIP an Avalanche legend & an NHL legend.
0:00 - Today's mostly going to be an Avalanche Autopsy day. We've had another day to process this crushing defeat a bit more. As we look at the future and the long offseason, what changes do we need to see?15:19 - All things considered, would you rather be the Avalanche or the Nuggets right now?32:11 - First, how often does the "best" team actually win? The Avs were the best team in the regular season. They have a trophy to prove it! How do you define "best" team?Second, OTAs are underway for most NFL teams and shocker...Patrick Mahomes is on the field practicing for the Chiefs! He tore his ACL about 5 months ago. That's a quick recovery! But this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. We knew he was going to be back when the NFL announced Broncos @ Chiefs on Monday Night Football Week 1. They showed their hand.
The Nugs are done, but the Avs are still going strong. We play a couple of dumb blind rank games, talk about the teams out at Ball Arena, and just have a great time.

0:00 - The Avalanche are ADAPTABLE. They can play any style of hockey game. You want a 2-1 low-scoring grind-it-out type of game? You got it. Want a 9-6 barnburner? You got it. Whatever style it is, they'll play it. Which type of game will we see tonight?13:05 - Boogie Cousins said the Nuggets lack accountability. When he was here under Coach Malone, he saw an accountability that has disappeared from the team. Where does that need to come from?In a recent interview, Steph Curry said NBA players are underpaid for one specific reason. And his logic opens up a whole new can of worms. 30:59 - Avs vs Wild Round 2 Game 2 tonight! What are the keys to an Avalanche victory?
0:00 - Our old friend Jon Cooper is back at it again! He had another classic huffy whiny quote in his postgame press conference after the Lightning got bounced in Game 7. Back with a vintage banger! It's like 2022 all over again.15:54 - According to Bennett Durando, Christian Braun is shouldering a good portion of the blame for the Nuggets first round exit. He said he's the vocal leader of the team, he didn't play well enough, and didn't have the team prepared well enough. Is that true? Is that his role on the team?And looking at the 1000 ft view, what needs to happen with this roster? Should you keep Aaron Gordon and roll the injury dice again? How about hanging onto Peyton Watson? To keep him, you'll have to offload other pieces. 31:18 - Oh, by the way...we had fans at Coors Field with paper bags on their heads...BUT NOT ROCKIES FANS! The Mets fans traveled with the brown bags. Hallelujah! Oh, by the way...the Philadephia Eagles signed Big Dom to a contract extension. What's the deal with this guy? Fuggedaboudit. Oh, by the way...would you take $50,000 to watch every second of every World Cup game this summer? If so, there's a job opportunity waiting for you.
0:00 - 15 goals in one game. Ah yes, business as usual for a standard NHL game.Your Avalanche started Round 2 with a BANG and dropped 9 goals on Minnesota's noggin in Game 1. But they also gave up 6 goals. How do we make sense of this crazy game? How do we weigh the good with the bad?15:50 - John-Michael Liles hopped on the show this morning to help us break down last night's goal-scoring bonanza at Ball Arena. What did JML think of all the back-and-forth action between the Avs and Wild?35:52 - According to both Bennett Durando and Shams, the Nuggets have no plans to move on from David Adelman. Is this a good move, or rather, lack of a move?
Ben Maller talks about the Denver Nuggets getting eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves and who deserves the blame, where things have gone wrong for the Celtics as they fail to close out the Philadelphia 76ers, the Atlanta Hawks getting eliminated in blow out fashion by the Knicks, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
0:00 - Well, that's a wrap. It's another early exit for the Nuggets. This year, it was an even earlier exit than last year! So, now that the whole season is in the books, let's do an autopsy all morning long. What the hell happened??17:38 - This is the actual worst case scenario for the Nuggets. You made all these moves in the offseason to build what we ALL SAID was the best roster in franchise history (on paper). And it was WORST THAN LAST YEAR. So now, you have to make moves. You can't run it back. But what moves can you make? How far do you want to go while you're still in the Jokic Window?33:38 - Chris Finch fabricated a fake narrative that isn't there in order to rally his team. And guess what? Fake or not, it worked. As a coach, you need to find motivation and a rallying cry anywhere you can. And he found it.
0:00 - The Nuggets CANNOT lose Game 6 tonight in Minnesota. The Timberwolves injuries are piling up. AND if you win Game 6 and bring a Game 7 home to Denver, it's over. Denver's moving on. Just bring it on home, baby. Take care of business tonight and let's roll.15:21 - Do you want the Avs to face the Stars in the next round? Do you want them to face their fears and conquer the demons from Dallas? Or would you rather see them face the Wild? Brett prefers the path of least resistance to a championship. It doesn't matter how you get to the mountaintop as long as you get there.33:05 - Jared Bednar isn't getting any love for the Jack Adams Award. Wedgewood isn't a finalist for the Vezina. What is it with the Avs constantly getting snubbed for these season awards??
0:00 - Yesterday, Vic made a guest appearance on PHD and went on a rant about how miserable and stuck up most sportswriters are. Today, we had our very own miserable sportswriter Jeff Legwold on the show. What did Leggy think about Vic's tirade? Does Leggy have any updates on Bo Nix AnkleGate 2K26 2.0?18:10 - It's do or die. Win or go home. What are the keys to a Game 6 victory for the Nuggets tonight?Also, what do the Nuggets do with AG? Should he play if he isn't healthy? If he does play, how do you shuffle the rotation? Should AG be a starter, or should he come off the bench?30:42 - Alright, time to stop playing around. What are everyone's final score predictions for Game 6 tonight? Also, Moser's daughter tuned into the show. She confirmed that Moser's feet are terrible. Should Moser even consider getting a pedicure to clean them up? Or is it a crime against humanity to subject someone to those rancid little piggies?
0:00 - What do we say to the God of Death? Not today! The Nuggets won game 5 and stayed alive in the series vs Minnesota! They finally played with physicality and didn't let Jaden McDaniels do what Jaden McDaniels does. 15:01 - Yesterday, the entire state of Minnesota wanted Vic's head on a stake (think Lord of the Flies) for saying that the Nuggets needed to intentionally injure Jaden McDaniels to send a message. Here's the thing...Vic never said that. At all. Not even close. He only asked for "repercussions" to Jaden McDaniels' tomfoolery. Today, Vic responded to the angry residents of the Twin Cities (and beyond).31:55 - Have you been following the NHL and NBA playoffs much? Outside of the Nuggets and Avs, which playoff series have you been following?
0:00 - Last night, the Nuggets played with physicality! They were enforcers! That's what we've wanted to see all series long, heck, all season long! Valanciunas spoke about it in his postgame comments. Being physical was part of the game plan.14:55 - The Timberwolves will be without Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo for the rest of the series. But make no mistake: the Nuggets are missing their 2 best defenders. It'll be easier for them to win, but it won't be a cakewalk. They still have VERY little room for error in Game 6. 32:22 - The Nuggets are off tonight. The Avalanche won't play another game for like a week? Two weeks? Three weeks? Who knows!? So what are you watching tonight?
0:00 - The Nuggets lost Game 4 to the Timberwolves, and they've been pushed to the brink of elimination. Minnesota lost 2 of their best players in that game, and the Nuggets still couldn't rally for a win. That was a tough look on Saturday night. Where's the fire? Where's the competitive spirit?14:29 - As if Denver's loss wasn't bad enough, Jaden McDaniels punked them AGAIN. At least Jokic got in his face about it this time.33:04 - The Kings played the Avalanche in the first round and it was a waste of 8 days. Darryl Sutter's quote still rings true 4 years later. Congrats to the Avs for taking care of business. After the game yesterday, Kings Interim Head Coach DJ Smith was very complimentary of the Avs.
0:00 - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. We're all trying to work through the pain of last night's Nuggets loss together. We're shocked. Flabbergasted. Embarrassed. Dejected. Angry. All of that this morning.On the other hand, way to go Avs! They're one win away from sweeping the LA kings out of the playoffs. This series is all but done. It's all hands on deck. Every night, they're getting contributions from someone new.13:38 - The LA Rams made an interesting pick in the first round of the NFL Draft yesterday, and Sean McVay himself seemed a bit perplexed.After that, whose job is it to motivate the Nuggets? Is it on Coach Adelman? Or is it on the players themselves? For Vic, it's not even a question which one is more important.32:07 - Oh, by the way...the Eagles swooped in and drafted a player from the Steelers while he was ON THE PHONE with the Steelers GM! Oh, by the way...a Braves pitcher made him MLB debut yesterday and his very first pitch went oppo taco for a home run. That's not right, man. You first career PITCH can go for a home run. Oh, by the way...the Philadelphia Flyers are offering an alternative to the 9-9-9 challenge.
0:00 - The Avs won in LA last night and they now lead the series 3-0. Josh Manson left with an apparent injury, but aside from that, it was an awesome night all around. What can we expect in Game 4? LA knows the series is all but done. Are they gonna go down swinging and try to beat the heck out of the Avs? Especially since it could be Kopitar's last-ever game in a Kings sweater. 14:10 - In his postgame presser yesterday, our old friend Jaden McDaniels said just seeing the Nuggets motivates them. They see the name on the front of the jersey and they want to beat those guys. What motivates the Nuggets?31:40 - Man, do we need it today. 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 - Our ESPN Broncos/NFL Insider Jeff Legwold has FINALLY published his list of the Top 100 Players in the NFL Draft! Hallelujah! In honor of the draft kicking off tonight, let's break down some of his rankings. And AGAIN, it's important to note - these aren't where he thinks the players will be drafted. This ranking is based purely on skill and talent (for example, Fernando Mendoza is #7 on Leggy's list, but he's obviously going to go #1 overall to the Raiders). 20:56 - It's a Playoff Double Diparoo for the Avalanche and Nuggets! What are the keys to a double WIN-a-roo. 32:40 - Time Zones in the US are silly and arbitrary. Once that's out of our system, we have one final chance to preview these dual Game 3s tonight and calm our nerves...or not.
0:00 - Yesterday at shootaround, all the Nuggets were asked about Jaden McDaniels' fiery postgame comments about their defense (or the lack thereof). David Adelman had the only response that we liked. Everyone else was a bit too laissez faire for Brett's taste. The Nuggets should be fired up right now. It should be fuel. It should be bulletin board material. It should rally them to win. If it isn't...get ready for Cancun.14:28 - The Colorado Wagon has rolled to a 2-0 series lead over the LA Kings, but there's still room for improvement. Jared Bednar said as much on our show yesterday. After that, believe it or not, there's an NFL Draft tonight! Let's go back to Aqib Talib's comment that the Broncos might make a move on draft night. If that's the case, how would it shake out? It probably would happen tomorrow night, right? Which position will they target? It's gotta be a tight end, right?33:13 - The Phoenix Suns lost to OKC last night, and they're down 0-2 in the series. After the game, Devin Booker was incensed with the poor officiating that (stop me if you've heard this before) favored OKC. He even name checked a specific ref who was particularly bad. Which are you more sick of: OKC always getting a favorable whistle, or people complaining about OKC getting a favorable whistle?

Welcome to Chatter with BNC, Business North Carolina's weekly podcast, serving up interviews with some of the Tar Heel State's most interesting people. In today's episode, Ben Kinney speaks with Brian Vigna, cybersecurity specialist at NC State University's Industry Expansion Services, about why small businesses can't afford to ignore cybersecurity. Brian shares his winding path from sports broadcasting to cyber, explains the "defense in depth" mindset, and breaks down the real cost of a breach, from lost production to forensics. Then the two swap notes on live music, trading favorite jam bands (Goose, Dogs in a Pile, Eggie), the magic of Nugs, and top North Carolina venues. Plus, how to tap IES's free resources for small manufacturers.
0:00 - Anytime the Nuggets are having success, they blow it. They have to be down 25 on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back with all of their starters hurt for them to play hard and seal a win. What will it take for this team to establish a lead AND HOLD ONTO IT??12:25 - Vic mentioned that he saw a man walking around Ball Arena in an impeccable suit on Sunday. That man in none other than Daryl Evans, LA Kings radio color commentator. He also scored one of the most iconic goals in LA Kings history in the "Miracle on Manchester" game. Daryl hopped on the show to give us the LA perspective on this series...and his elite wardrobe.31:39 - After Nuggets-TWolves Game 2 last night, Jaden McDaniels said a bunch of Nuggets players can't play defense. And he named names! That's CRAZY. The series isn't over yet! It's tied 1-1. That's the type of stuff you usually say when the series is over. If you're the Nuggets, use that as fuel. He says you can't play defense, huh? Prove him wrong on Thursday.
0:00 - The Nuggets had a double-digit lead over the Timberwolves. At home. In Ball Arena! And they blew it and lost Game 2. Boy, this is all too familiar. I feel like I've seen this movie before. What happened, man? How did it all unravel?14:02 - After Minnesota's big win last night, Jaden McDaniels name checked a bunch of bad defenders on the Nuggets. By name! He specifically called the out and said they can't play defense. That's a WILD choice to make after Game 2 of a 7 game series, which is tied 1-1. Good news is the Nuggets have some fuel now. 30:35 - NBC completely bungled the Nuggets broadcast last night. They were late to the game! By the time they switched over from the Hawks/Knicks game, it was already 5-5 with a couple minutes gone. At no point did they say that Nuggets-Timberwolves was underway and available on a different channel or whatever. Absolute malpractice to make us sit through a postgame interview and a 3 minute commercial break instead of switching to Nuggets-Wolves.
0:00 - Boy, that was a PHYSICAL game between the Avs and Kings. LA brought the boom. That's how it goes in the playoffs. The physicality always ratchets up. The Avs survived, and held on for the Game 1 win. Is there any way LA wins this series?14:50 - The Nuggets didn't play well for a full 48 minutes, but they sealed the deal for a Game 1 victory! After the game, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch was crying aboul Jamal Murray's 16 free throws. Cool, Chris. Criticize a guy who's known for playing some of the most ethical basketball out there.33:39 - The Rockies beat the Dodgers in a professional baseball game! Wow! That's impossible, right? There's no way that could've happened! They must've been cheating. That's what Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing alleged (in a roundabout way) after the game on Saturday.
0:00 - On Saturday after the game, Scott Wedgewood said he'll trade goalie duties with Blackwood during the playoffs. How often will that happen? When SHOULD it happen? Wedgewood has been better, so should they ride with him the entire time? Or should they keep switching off since that got them through the regular season?13:14 - Nuggets-Timberwolves Round 1, Game 2 TAHNIGHT. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?30:41 - We don't need the Nuggets to have a stellar start tonight. Can they have a decent start a least?? Is that too much to ask? Can they not have to climb their way out of a friggin hole?
0:00 - Finally! 82 games in the books for every NHL team. That means the Avs FINALLY have a first round opponent! They'll face the LA Kings. That was Moser's first choice for an ideal matchup. LFG. Lock n load, boys.(and by the way podcast listeners, the "exciting" song for Avs was "Around the World" by Daft Punk. The slower song for the Kings was "Only Time" by Enya.)13:30 - Let's get granular with Nuggets vs Timberwolves. Let's break down each roster player by player, matchup by matchup and see who has the edge.30:54 - We have to finish Vic's roster breakdown since it took Brett SO LONG TO MAKE HIS POINT LAST SEGMENT (allegedly). And how 'bout Mose trying to bring back a lil LAY IT DOWN at the end?
0:00 - The Colorado Wagon keeps rolling, even in garbage time! The Avs beat the Flames on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back! MacKinnon reached 53 goals and Marty Nachos recorded his 100th point. Great night all around. The Avalanche are back at Ball tomorrow night to wrap it all up!Moser got back from Calgary super late last night. So we're gonna let him catch a few extra winks of sleep. He'll join us later...hopefully...14:51 - Almost all of the national media is picking the Nuggets to beat the Timberwolves in Round 1. Even friend of the program Nick Wrong is picking the Nuggets! Does that say more about how good the Nuggets are? Or the deficiencies of the Timberwolves?34:12 - Jim Nantz went on Pat McAfee yesterday and said he spotted Bo Nix at the Masters! He was walking around Augusta with Drake Maye. The ankle looks fine, according to Nantz. Nothing predisposed about it! Are we still worried about his ankle? Is that still a concern we should have heading into next season/the forseeable future?
0:00 - Yesterday, the Bednar-less Avalanche beat the Oilers in a shootout! The Avs have nothing to play for, and yet the Oilers are still fighting for seeding! What a tough break for Edmonton. There's a reason their goalie angrily smashed his stick after Nathan MacKinnon buried the shootout winner.14:28 - Over the weekend, the DU Pioneers won their 11th national championship! That's 2 more than any other D1 men's hockey program. For Head Coach David Carle, it's his 3rd title in 5 years. How has he built such a consistently dominant program? Coach joined us today to look back on his incredible season.34:30 - Do we still fear the T-Wolves? There was a time when Minnesota struck fear into the hearts of every Nuggets fan. Will this year be different? How confident are we that the Nuggets can survive the Wolves and make it to Round 2?
0:00 - The Nuggets wrapped up the regular season with a casual 12-game win streak. NBD. Give credit to the bench, man. They looked GREAT this weekend. Yesterday, they were playing a Spurs team that actually wanted/needed to win! Sure, Wemby wasn't playing, but the rest of the roster is stacked too! And the Nuggets B Team answered the bell. That's a great sign.14:54 - Rory McIlroy won his second straight Masters. He became the 4th golfer ever to go back-to-back at Augusta. But, he also said he's been practicing at Augusta a lot. He'll drop his daughter off at school, fly a private jet to Augusta, get a few rounds in, head home, then have dinner with his family. Is that an unfair advantage? Should Augusta limit the number of times you can play there before the Masters?Also, Aqib Talib said on his podcast that the Broncos might be making another big move this offseason...keep your eyes peeled on draft night...He was right about them getting another offensive weapon! Could he be right on this one as well?34:10 - Oh, by the way...like 3 seconds after our show wrapped up on Friday, the Walton-Penner Group purchased a 40% minority ownership stake in the Rockies. Woah! What does that mean for the Rox? Oh, by the way...are we really still making golfers manually write down their scores on a scorecard? It's 2026, man. Oh, by the way...Mike Vrabel isn't attending the Patriots pre-draft press conference. Shocker.
0:00 - And with that, the 2025-2026 NBA Regular Season is in the books. 82 games. The Nuggets finished the season by casually winning 12 games in a row and clinching the 3 seed. That's insane. Go back to, say...March 1. Could you picture the Nuggets rattling off 12 wins and climbing to the 3 seed? Not at all. What a wild turn of events.15:31 - The Avs lost to Vegas on Saturday and...we don't really care. We felt nothing watching that game. Everyone stay healthy and let's get to the playoffs. The only notable thing from that game was a flying puck hitting Coach Bednar in the face! He's staying at home and recuperating instead of traveling to Edmonton and Calgary. Understandable. Get better soon, Bedsie!32:23 - The DU Pioneers are national champions once again! That's 11 titles for the Men's Hockey team. Let's be honest...THEY'RE the real Colorado Wagon. But that being said, the ESPN crew disrespected the Pioneers on the broadcast moments after they secured the chip. We have to stop doing this!
0:00 - The Nuggets are hosting the Thunder tonight, and OKC is playing...no one. They have the 1 seed locked up. They have absolutely no reason to play any big guns. So what should the Nuggets do? Should they rest their top dogs too? Do they need more wins to ensure the get the 3 seed? What's the play here?If they decide they need a win tonight, what are the keys to the game?11:55 - Don't be nervous about the Avs! We're not doing curse stuff. The Presidents' Trophy curse is a bunch of hogwash. Don't overthink this. The Avs are good. They're better than everyone else. Therefore, they're going to win. It's simple math.27:59 - Moser doesn't like Patrick Reed because of everything about him as a human being. His words, not mine. Part of that includes how Patrick Reed runs. Moser made fun of his running. So, Brett and Vic challenge Moser to do a better job. They sent him out into the hallway to run and prove he has better form.After that, it's time for 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 - The Masters is officially underway at Augusta. Hey, did you know Vic played there?After that, the Nuggets have won 10 games in a row for the first time in the Jokic era. Isn't that crazy? It seems impossible that Jokic/Murray have never rattled off a 10-game win streak together (until now).13:00 - Don't take DU Hockey's dominance for granted. They make the Frozen Four every single year, churn out NHL talent left and right, and we all just assume it'll happen next year as well. Recognize greatness. After that, we all already know the Raiders are going to take Fernando Mendoza first overall in the NFL draft. It's all but done. Even so...Kirk Cousins talked about Mendoza in a recent interview and acted like he's already a Raider. Probably not supposed to do that right?29:57 - Oh, by the way...those pics of Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel are pretty telling. Have you ever interlocked fingers with a platonic friend...ever? Oh, by the way...there's so much young talent entering the NHL right now. Oh, by the way...the Minnesota Wild signed a guy to a tryout and his actual name is Viking. It was meant to be.
0:00 - The Masters starts tomorrow which means...Vic, Moser, and Brett are going to be absolute luggage tomorrow. They won't participate in their own show at all. Get ready, folks.After that, the Nuggets are playing a G-League version of the Grizzlies. They're resting everyone. It's insanity. Tonight is a MUST WIN for the Nuggets. Period. What are the keys to a victory?14:52 - Vic did his Civic Duty today. Good for him! Somebody get him a gold star. Let's get a live update from the man himself. Is he still at the courthouse? Was he cut loose? Is he answering Uncle Sam's call? 32:12 - We have a whole slew of final thoughts, soundbites, you name it to get out of our system before the show wraps up. After that, let's get to a Fact Checker. How many minutes are in the 1st half of an NBA game?
0:00 - THE CENTRAL DIVISION CROWN IS COMIN BACK TO COLORADO! Way to go Avs! They haven't locked up the President's Trophy yet, but the Central is theirs. Kadri got dinged up in last night's game, as did Scott Wedgewood. What did Coach Bednar have to say about it after the game? 14:48 - You hear it here first, folks. The Rockies are actually fun to watch this year! Make of that what you will. Paul DePodesta, President of Baseball Operations for the Rockies, chatted with PHD yesterday. And he's saying things that Brett's wanted to hear for YEARS from someone in the Front Office. He's shifting the mindset and attitude of the team.The Avalanche can't face the Wild or the Stars in the first round because those 2 teams will face each other. So, who DO we want to see the Avs face?32:12 - Tonight is a MUST WIN game for the Nuggets for a couple reasons. First of all, the Nuggets snatched the 3 seed from the Lakers, since LA is struggling wihtout Luka and Austin Reaves right now. Second of all, the Memphis Grizzlies are resting EVERYONE today. They'll barely bring a roster of warm bodies to Ball Arena tonight. Losing to this G-League Grizzlies team tonight is inexcusable. Take care of business, strike while the iron's hot, and inch closer to stealing the 3 seed from the LakeShow for good.
0:00 - They never should've been down by 18 points at home against the lowly Trailblazers in the first place BUT what a comeback by the Nuggets! Man that was awesome. They've now won 9 in a row. And yet...Brett still doesn't know how to make heads or tails of this team. It feels like the Broncos all over again. They're winning but is it sustainable? There's that good ol' sustainable word again.14:57 - The Avs have lost to a few bad teams recently, but they're still in a good spot. They still win the games they need to win. Tonight is one of those. Go to St. Louis, get a W, wrap up the top spot in the Central, and cruise into the playoffs.After that, Bill Kennedy is our favorite NBA ref now. He loves adding a lil mustard to his calls whenever he hops on the mic after a review.32:30 - North Carolina just hired Michael Malone to be their next head basketball coach. That's an interesting move, to say the least. Malone absolutely could've and should've gotten another NBA coaching gig. He won a title. And yet, he ended up in college. That being said, he's the perfect coach for the portal era.
0:00 - Jokic's shot over Wemby to bury the Spurs was epic. SportsCenter Top 10-type shot. MVP-type shot. But what was also encouraging from that game was how the WHOLE team played. They got contributions from the entire roster, top to bottom. Whatever slump Cam Johnson was in is OVA. They're proving they can win all sorts of games in different ways.14:53 - The Avs play differently in front of Wedgewood. They keep hanging Blackwood out to dry on the breakaway. Wedgie is absolutely Goalie #1 in the playoffs.After that, the Nuggets are hosting the Blazers tonight. The Blazers are...not good. That #3 seed in the West is squarely in sight, now that BOTH Luka and Austin Reaves are injured. Tonight's game is a must-win for the Nuggets. What are the keys to a victory?32:05 - It's finally time to crown a champion in our 2026 Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament. Who will cut down the nets once and for all? And as is tradition, we need to look back on all 64 drops who competed for eternal glory in our One Shining Moment. Thanks for another successful tournament, everyone.(Again, "One Shining Moment" is very copyrighted so you won't hear the music here. But you'll still hear all 64 drops and our reactions to it all)

0:00 - How's Cale Makar doing? How severe is his injury? Let's get an answer directly from Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar.19:50 - As we learned at the end of last segment, Brett Kane can't read. So he starts hookin with all of us and trying to take us down with him.After that, the Nuggets are playing the Jazz tonight. You need to KILL them. This game had better not come down to the wire. It's playoffs time. The Jazz suck. Prove to us you're real and beat a bad team easily.32:59 - The boys called for an early Keys, so let's get to it! It's another Double Dip-a-Roo tonight. How do we parlay that into a double WIN-a-Roo for the Avs and Nugs?After that...Oh, by the way...We got another goalie fight last night! Oh, by the way...all 10 players on the ice on Montreal @ Tampa Bay received 2-minute penalties at the same time. The ref had to write everything down on a note card so he didn't mess it up. Oh, by the way...Team Italy's Espresso Maker from the WBC sold for $16,500 at an auction. Italy, known baseball country.

0:00 - The Nuggets beat the Jazz on Friday, then followed it up with a thrilling win over the Warriors last night. They're now on a 6-game win streak. And yet, Brett still doesn't feel fully comfortable with this team. Is he being unfair? Is he using the wrong tone?15:18 - Duke lost to UConn on a last-second heave. A heartbreaker backbreaker. Both? Both. The Madness of March never disappoints. Unfortunately, Brett is incredibly torn when it comes to the outcome of that game.34:26 - The Avs fell to the Jets on Saturday. Not sure what to make of that one. Another weird goalie interference penalty...the guys looked sluggish and Bedsie was shuffling the lines to get something/anything going...Whatever. On the bright side, Moser gave us another BUTTER MY BUTT for Parker Kelly's goal!After that...Vegas fired their head coach out of nowhere and hired John Tortorella. That's quite the choice by VGK!
0:00 - Baseball is back! Hope springs eternal! Unless you're a Rockies fan. They started this new season 0-3. Got swept by the Marlins. They lost every game by 1 run. Are there any silver linings? Have we seen ANY signs of progress whatsoever?15:07 - The Nuggets are on a 6-game win streak, and that's nothing to sneeze at in the NBA. But, it doesn't change the fact that defense is still a problem for the Nuggets. They let the Utah Jazz drop 129 points on them IN BALL ARENA. And oh by the way, Utah is actively trying to lose games. But don't take it from us. Take it from the best basketball player on Planet Earth. 31:59 - Oh, by the way...Mile High Stadium was POPPIN for the inaugural Denver Summit FC home game. The game itself was a snoozer, but the vibes were immaculate. Oh, by the way...why does Jared Bednar never get any love for Coach of the Year? Oh, by the way...an airplane got stuck on the tarmac, and there just happened to be a high school choir on board. How long could you survive being trapped on a plane with a HS choir?
0:00 - The Nuggets are in the thick of a 6-game win streak. They've been playing some bad and/or injured teams, but 6 wins in a row is still 6 wins in a row. How good are the Nuggets right now? Are they a championship team finally?14:50 - After UConn's thrilling buzzer-beater victory over Duke, Dan Hurley got up in a ref's face. He didn't yell or scream or anything. But he shot the ref a [blank]eating grin, and then went face to face with him! Damn near touched foreheads. Shouldn't that have been a technical? Why wasn't it called? That could've given the win back to Duke.32:40 - Avs are back in action at Ball tonight hosting the Calgary Flames! What are the keys to an Avs victory? After that, Vic has trouble navigating the maze that is Home Depot. Don't we all?Oh right, SPORTS! The NFL Owners meetings are underway. Robert Kraft fully supports an 18-game NFL schedule with a few stipulations. George Paton met with the media and praised his roster which remains mostly unchanged from last season.
0:00 - We're not there yet...but if the Avs win a few more games, they'll have the top spot in the Central locked up. At that point, rest your big guns. Play with weird line combos. Experiment. That's the luxury you've earned.14:26 - The Nuggets are at home facing the tanking Utah Jazz. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?The Rockies are in Miami today as another season begins. Hope springs eternal. What can we HONESTLY expect from the Rockies this year? Is another 100-loss season headed our way?31:40 - Which drops from the Brett & Nelly regions survived the Group Stage/Knockout Round? Who's headed to the Elite 8 with a chance to cut down the nets on April 6?Then after that, it's time for 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 - The Avs are getting guys back, and they're finally returning to their usual-ish lineups. They're still missing Kiviranta, but the line combos are starting to look more "normal" again. You love to see it.15:47 - Ain't no rest for the wicked! The no-sleep Nuggets are back in action again tonight. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory over the Mavericks?33:45 - Vic answers some texter questions about the quicks of the NBA schedule. Also, could Marvin Mims be a Devin Hester type? A return specialist who makes a name for himself exclusively on special teams?
0:00 - As the Avs and Nuggets barrell towards the playoffs, what do we want to see? What do we need to see from these teams in this home stretch?15:01 - When he joined the Nuggets pregame show over the weekend, Marvin Mims told Vic that he was "surprised" by the Jaylen Waddle trade. Let's read the tea leaves here. Why? What was surprising about it?33:09 - Gabe Landeskog explained his "lower body injury" in his own words and...yikes. That's all I have to say about that.
0:00 - Even in the loss, the Avalanche still played a solid game. They still look like championship contenders. They're just so incredibly evenly matched with Dallas and they got...sigh...goalied. Otter was a man possessed last night. The Avs and Stars are locked into a collision course. They're bound to face each other in the playoffs, and that series will go to Game 7 OT. It should be the WCF. But because Gary Bettman is an idiot, they'll face each other in the 1st or 2nd round.Meanwhile, the Nuggets lost and we don't feel good about them at all. Travel issues and lack of sleep don't matter. This is not a serious basketball team right now.14:53 - Kyle Keefe managed to completely derail our show without even coming on air! What a consummate professional. After that...there are 12 games left in the Nuggets season. Is there anything they can do to change your mind? Can they do anything to convince you they're a legit threat in the postseason?32:08 - Which drops survived the gaunlet of the Brett Region of our annual Drop Tournament? Which drops still have an opportunity to cut down the nets on April 6?
0:00 - The Avalanche lost to the Stars in a shootout last night, but they looked damn good. This may be military grade copium, but they played a hell of a game. Bednar liked the way they played. MacKinnon liked the way they played. But sometimes the hockey gods give the edge to someone else. Hockey has a razor thin margin for error. The Avs and Stars are destined to face each other in a playoff series that comes down to OT in Game 7. Hopefully it's the WCF. Also, it's Day 3 of our annual Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop tournament! The Round of 64 continues today with the Brett Region! Who will advance to the Round of 32 and keep their hopes alive?14:53 - Brett's a big fan of the show Succession. At one point, Logan Roy says to all of his children, "I love you...but you are not serious people." That's how Kaner feels about the Nuggets. This team is unserious. Forget about any championship aspirations. 32:16 - The NCAA tournament beings today! Games on games on games on games on games! It's madness, as advertised. But is the tournament still as exciting as it used to be? Or has the NIL era altered the landscape too much?
0:00 - Both the Avalanche and the Nuggets lost last night. But we feel fine about the Avs today. We don't feel good about the Nugs. Why is that? What's the difference?14:26 - How does our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold feel about Jaylen Waddle? Will he work his way to the top of the depth chart? What will his role be? More importantly...how does Leggy feel about being included in our drop tournament?31:58 - Oh, by the way...what do you do what someone overstays their welcome at a hospital? Oh, by the way...Gary Bettman still refuses to change the NHL Playoff Format. He's digging in his heels. Oh, by the way...the power went out at the Denver Airport yesterday and caused complete chaos.
0:00 - Last night was a must-win game for the Nuggets and boy did they win! They obliterated the 76ers from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Total domination. Even in a blow out game against a bad team, are there positive takeaways? Did we actually learn anything?Also, our Drop Tournament continues with Day 2 of the Field Of 64! Yesterday we went through the Vic Region. Today, we tackle the Moser Region.13:58 - Now that Jaylen Waddle is a member of the Broncos, is he WR1? Or will he be WR2 behind Courtland Sutton?32:19 - USA lost to Venezuela in the WBC championship game last night. So now that's the tournament is in the books...how was it? Did we end up caring about it? Did the players care?
