Moser, Lombardi and Kane

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...

0:00 - How many CU players will be at the NFL Combine this year? Take a second...think of a guess...think of a number...here's the answer: zero. Not a single CU football player was invited to the combine. For a head coach who touts his ability to find Louis and Gucci in the portal, the data would suggest otherwise. Again, this begs the question: heading into Year 4 at CU, what are reasonable expectations for Neion Deion and his $10 mil/year salary?

15:58 - The Avalanche and Nuggets are both squarely in championship or bust windows. But what about...

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...

0:00 - Vic chatted one-on-one with Danilo Gallinari since he'll be honored at the game tonight. In that conversation, he asked Gallo a question that you NEVER ask another Italian man. Vic embarrassed the family.
The Nuggets are hosting the Memphis Grizzlies tonight in the last game before the All-Star Break. What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory?

12:33 - Vic's old radio partner once upon a time Kyle Keefe joined the show today to talk about everything from Olympics hockey to cartoon sports broadcasts...since he's doing one later this month.

34:15 - With all the...

0:00 - All sports leagues have tried to curb "tanking." If you ask the commissioner of any major sports league, they'll tell you tanking is not a thing! We have measures in place to prevent that. Well if that's the case, how do you explain what the Utah Jazz are doing right now?

14:50 - Kris Bryant is still going through a debilitating back injury. Never mind playing baseball. He's just trying to return to a normal quality of life. Shockingly, he'll start the season on the 60-day IL, meaning he'll miss the first 57 games of the Rockies season AT...

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...

The 2025 NFL Season is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Super Bowl 60? Which players might be shuffled around in the offseason? Is the league contemplating any changes? Let's pick Schefty's brain in his last weekly appearance for a while.

0:00 - The 2025 NFL Season is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Super Bowl 60? Which players might be shuffled around in the offseason? Is the league contemplating any changes? Let's pick Schefty's brain in his last weekly appearance for a while. 

19:38 - Why does this Nuggets team continually struggle to closeout games? Last night was yes another perfect example. 

32:47 - A Norwegian Skiier won an Olympic bronze medal...then immediately admitted that he cheated on the love of his life. Weird time to admit that, my dude.

0:00 - The NFL wants to expand the window for future picks you can include in a trade. Right now, you can include draft picks that are 3 years in the future. But in the NBA, you can go way farther than that. Hunter Tyson was just traded for a 2032 pick! Brett thinks this is getting out of hand. We're really gonna start shuffling picks from 2050? Everyone settle down.
Also, the NBA wants to expand to Seattle and Vegas, unsurprisingly.

11:09 - Are you nervous about your Avalanche star players competing in the Olympics? What happens if Nathan MacKinnon or...

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...

0:00 - Chad Brown played for both the Seahawks and the Patriots during his long NFL career. What did he think of yesterday's snoozefest game?

15:53 - Multiple players on the Seahawks championship roster were the direct result of the Russell Wilson trade. Does that mean George Paton should receive a ring?
Also, Lindsay Vonn crashed again over the weekend and had to be airlifted out. She caught one of the slalom flags with her arm and it JUST tweaked her enough to throw off her balance. It was tough to watch. 

33:29 - Who is Sam Darnold? H...

0:00 - Call it sour grapes or whatever, but how great was it to see the Patriots lose yesterday? Boston fans are miserable and we're here for it. Their MVP-candidate Golden Boy QB put together a lackluster performance in the biggest game of his life. How da ya like them apples, Dave Portnoy?

12:07 - Why would it be shameful if Vic died his hair? If he went full Vicky Martin, why is that embarrassing?
Also, Luge is awesome but it makes no sense to us. How does it work? Does being fat give you an advantage because you...

0:00 - The Seahawks won Super Bowl 60. The Lombardi Trophy is headed back to Seattle. Man, that was a boring Super Bowl. It picked up a bit in garbage time, but whatever. The question we'll ask from now until the end of time: How would the Broncos have looked in that game against the Seahawks Defense with a healthy Bo Nix and JK Dobbins?

15:24 - It was the most controversial Super Bowl halftime show of all controversial Super Bowl halftime shows! Gasp! What did you think of Bad Bunny yesterday?

32:03 - Jamal Murray has been named to...

0:00 - Vic had the chance to talk to Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love at Radio Row yesterday. And DMac was poo-pooing the idea of drafting him, because you can find guys like that anywhere. Brett & Vic think that's ridiculous. The Broncos would never draft him BUT we'd love it if they did. 

11:10 - Kevin Demoff wears many hats. So many that we don't know how to introduce him? He's a big wig with KSE and an even bigger wig with the LA Rams. However you wanna describe him, he sat down with us at Radio Row and described t...

0:00 - Football isn't the only "game of inches" now. Evidently, Olympic ski jumpers are (supposedly) injecting their little dighys with Hyaluronic acid in order to gain a slight competitive edge. 

11:18 - Greg Cosell is the nephew of Howard Cosell, and he's also a Senior Producer at NFL Films. He's seen a lot of football in his day. Vic caught up with him at Super Bowl Radio Row and asked him about what he's seen from Bo Nix so far in his young career.
Also, the Nuggets traded Hunter Tyson to Brooklyn. They got a future draft pick i...

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...

0:00 - It's still football season for a few more days. But for the Broncos, the offseason is already in swing. What moves do they need to make? What are their biggest needs and priorities? Who should they draft? What about free agency? Let's see what's on Leggy's offseason to-do list.

19:45 - Take a random sample of NHL and NBA players. Would they rather win an NHL/NBA Championship or a gold medal? Which means more?

33:40 - After spending a few days at Super Bowl Media Week, Vic has reached the conclusion that there are too many...

0:00 - The NBA trade deadline is hours away, and we've already seen some wild trades so far! Unfortunately, one player who Vic really wanted the Nuggets to acquire has gone to Minnesota. Who else is out there? Also, why does Washington want Anthony Davis?

12:23 - All signs point to Maxx Crosby leaving the Raiders. He'd never end up in Denver. Zero percent chance to the Raiders letting him go elsewhere in the AFC West. But, let's play pretend. Would you take him here?
Also, if the Nuggets don't make any trades before the deadline, are we okay...

0:00 - The Avalanche beat the Sharks last night and headed into the break on a high note! Meanwhile, the Nuggets lost to the Knicks in 2OT at the Garden. Peyton Watson tweaked his hamstring (still being evaluated), and Spencer Jones left with a concussion. Plus, Jokic looked like he was limping at some point. My goodness. The double diparoo giveth. And the double diparoo taketh away.

16:20 - Vic's at Radio Row in San Francisco for the Super Bowl. And yet, he's having trouble getting excited about the matchup. There's no buzz around it, or at least that's how...

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...

0:00 - The Avalanche have ONE last game before the NHL's Olympic Break. How's Avs Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling about his squad as they head into some much-needed time off?

19:26 - Garett Bolles was this year's recipient of the NFLPA’s Alan Page Community Award for the service that he and his foundation do off the field. Vic caught up with him after he received the award, and asked him about the AFC Championship and how to fix the Broncos run game. If the OL is so highly graded, why does the run game continue to struggle?

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 M...

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...

0:00 - Ugh...losing to the Red Wings sucks. Getting shut out by them AT HOME is even worse. What went wrong last night? The Avs have been wishy washy recently, to say the least.

12:51 - Yesterday, the news broke that Davis Webb is the new Broncos Offensive Coordinator. We haven't heard yet if he'll be calling plays. Should he? Would Sean Payton REALLY be willing and able to reliquish that? And if Davis Webb won't be calling plays, then why did he stick around?

33:09 - Unsurprisingly, the NFL is trying to expand its slate of NFL...

0:00 - What a gross game by the Avs. They lost to Detriot 2-0 AT HOME. In Ball Arena. Sheesh. Get to the break already. These boys are completely and totally checked out.

14:34 - Davis Webb has officially been promoted to Broncos Offensive Coordinator. But the announcement yesterday didn't include anything about the playcalling...Straw Poll: Do you want Sean Payton calling plays next year? Yes or No?

36:41 - The NBA Trade Deadline is a few days away. What trades do you want to see the Nuggets make? Who cares?? Shoot for the moon! The Luka trade...

Erik Johnson has had ENOUGH of the spray tan accusations that Nathan MacKinnon started! He asked to join our show and put the rumors to bed once and for all. Since we had him on the line anyway, we decided to ask him some actual hockey questions about the Avalanche as well. God forbid we talk sports on this show!

Schefty reported there was an earthquake in SF, then hopped on our show. He breaks Geological news, then breaks NFL news. What doesn't this guy do?

0:00 - Schefty reported there was an earthquake in SF, then hopped on our show. He breaks Geological news, then breaks NFL news. What doesn't this guy do?

14:21 - Aside from the possibility of Jokic winning MVP, which is more likely: Peyton Watson wins Most Improved Player, Tim Hardaway Jr wins 6th man of the year, or David Adelman is Coach of the Year?

32:38 - This weekend, a boxer got punched so hard that his fake hair fell off. Yikes. And somehow, he won the fight by decision. Nope! If your toupee falls off mid-fight, that's an...

0:00 - Erik Johnson has had ENOUGH of the spray tan accusations! He asked to join our show and put the rumors to bed once and for all. Since we had him on the line anyway, we decided to ask him some actual hockey questions about the Avalanche as well. God forbid we talk sports on this show!

14:03 - In last night's Nuggets vs Thunder game, Jaylen Williams wrapped up Jokic, square danced with him, twerked with him, and the refs didn't call a foul. This is Jokic's curse. The Thunder will always push the foul boundaries and get...

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...

0:00 - Bo Nix vs Sean Payton: AnkleGate has splintered the Broncos fan base (much like Bo's ankle, AMIRITE?) Let's get the opinion of someone's who been in plenty of NFL locker rooms and has played for all-time legendary head coaches. What does Chad Brown think of how they handled it? Also, what does Chad think about the firing of Joe Lombardi? Will Sean Payton finally hand over play calling duties on offense to Davis Webb?

18:54 - Vic Lombardi caught up with MPJ after last night's game, his first game back in Denver as a member of the Brooklyn...

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 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...

0:00 - Jeff Legwold joined us live from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. We asked him about the drama with Bill Belichick and the Hall of Fame...if Jeff's even allowed to tell us anything. Also, what does Jeff think about the Sean Payton/Bo Nix Ankle Surgerygate? Can he explain what Joe Lombardi's role was as Broncos OC and why he got fired? 

20:33 - It's a double diparoo tonight, which necessitates a Double KEYS-a-roo! How can both the Avs and Nuggets get bounce-back wins tonight?
Also, Greg Penner truly understands his role in the Broncos organization. I...

0:00 - The Broncos fired their offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi...okay? What was he even doing? I thought the offense was Sean Payton's baby. Also, Sean has worked with Joe for like 15 straight seasons. Why fire him now after the Broncos reached the AFC Championship game? Strange situation all around.

17:08 - For the past couple years, Von Miller has said he wants to return to Denver and play in this iron-clad Broncos defense. Should they welcome him back? Would the Vonster be a good addition?

34:09 - Greg Penner addressed the media yesterday, and multiple times, he said...

0:00 - Last night, the Avalanche looked awful in Ottawa. They couldn't get anything going. Brett says it's because these boys need the Olympic Break in the worst way. They're getting tired of the slog of the season. They desperately need the time off, then they'll come back stronger. 

17:20 - Yesterday, Bo Nix called his own press conference to clarify some of the comments Sean Payton said about his ankle and surgery. Bo didn't think he got some of the particulars correct. This is weird, right? A QB holding his own presser to refuse something his coach said?

0:00 - Could the Broncos take an unconventional approach to fixing the run game? Maybe a method that involves Nelly?

18:07 - I think we started talking about Nuggets basketball...then the conversation devolved into a debate about who's taller: Vic or Mose?

32:57 - Andy Lindahl didn't appreciate some accusations that Vic made about him and Nate, so he HAD to call the show and respond. He just had to. XXXL couldn't help himself.

0:00 - Sam Malinski just inked a 4-year extension with the Avalanche. Head Coach Jared Bednar had nothing but good things to say about Malinski and his journey this morning when he joined us for his weekly appearance. 

16:57 - Last night, Jamal Murray was open and honest in his postgame press conference. He owned up to his critical mistakes in Denver's loss to the Pistons. That's a sign of growth from Jamal. In years past, he was snippy and dismissive with the media.
Also, yesterday we learned that Bill Belichick will NOT be a First Ballot Hall of F...

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 P...

0:00 - Broncos Linebacker Jonathan Cooper said something yesterday that makes us think maybe...just MAYBE...Vance Joseph is staying with the Broncos.
Also, Moser is IN OTTAWA at the practice rink WATCHING THE AVALANCHE SKATE, and yet he didn't break any news. We had to get the news from Pierre LeBrun on Twitter.

13:22 - Nate & Andy did what they did best: dug up some numbers and analytics to justify Sean Payton going for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the FG. That's cool, nerds. Nice numbers. They don't tell the full story, though. Still should've kicked...
