Moser, Lombardi and Kane

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...

0:00 - The Broncos do one thing really well. And the Patriots do that thing poorly. It's one angle that could give Denver the edge in the AFC Championship. 

11:14 - The dropoff in abilities between Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham isn't that steep! And that's not an insult to Bo. That's more of a compliment to Stiddy.
Friend of the Program Kyle Keefe texted Moser during this segment and made a prediction: the Broncos will win the Super Bowl with Stiddy at QB, then we'll have a full-blown QB controversy between him and Nix all offseason long.

0:00 - Check the forecast. I think Hell might be freezing over. The Indiana Football Hoosiers are national champions. No matter how you feel about Curt Cignetti, you have to admit that he orchestrated one of the greatest turnarounds in sports history. 

16:26 - We still have no idea what Goalie Interference is. We don't know, Coach Bednar doesn't know, the players don't know, and the league don't know. But at least we're all on the same page.

33:29 - David Adelman is a lifelong Bills fan and has said as much. Are we okay with that? Is it o...

He broke the news that Buffalo had fired Sean McDermott, then chatted with us like 1 hour later. What a day for Adam Schefter. He also recounted the moment he heard the news about Bo's injury on Saturday night.

0:00 - He broke the news that Buffalo had fired Sean McDermott, then chatted with us like 1 hour later. What a day for Adam Schefter.

17:18 - Let's chat with someone who knows a thing or two about being a backup QB in big games/big moments: former Broncos QB Steve Beuerlein! What does he think about Jarrett Stidham getting his first start in over two years...in the AFC Championship game?

34:41 - On Saturday, Sean McDermott stood up for Buffalo, dammit. Today, the Bills parted ways with him. If Josh Allen didn't turn the ball over 5 times...

0:00 - On Saturday, Ja'Quan McMillian had one of the craziest interceptions in Broncos franchise history. It's the time of clutch play that will live forever in Broncos lore ESPECIALLY if they make it to (and dare I say WIN) the Super Bowl. 
Bo Nix's injury will sideline him for the rest of the playoffs, which means Jarrett Stidham is your QB1. Whether or not we believe in him doesn't matter. Sean Payton has full confidence in his backup, and that's all that matters.

18:45 - Caleb Williams' game-tying touchdown vs the Rams last night broke our brains. It d...

0:00 - Your Denver Football Broncos are headed to the AFC Championship, and they'll host the New England Patriots. But they'll be doing it without Bo Nix, after he suffered a season-ending injury late in OT. The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. How are we feeling this morning, Broncos Country?

16:11 - The losers of Buffalo, New York need to stop crying. All we've heard since Saturday night is a stream of tears thundering louder than Niagara falls. Stick a cork in it, Buffalo. YOU GET NOTHING. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR! Turn that microscope inwards and realize...

0:00 - Let's preview tomorrow's Broncos vs Bills divisional playoff game with a man who's played in his fair share of NFL playoff games: Chad Brown!

14:44 - Brett's nervous about the Broncos game tomorrow. Not because he thinks Denver will lose. But how could you not be?? Nerves are to be expected! And think about how much is at stake for both of these teams!
Also, there are only 4 NFL games this weekend...but you better believe Moser...is still...gonna LAY IT DOWN! (and yes, I left in his grunting and breathing for all the podcast sickos...

0:00 - The Los Angeles Dodgers added ANOTHER high priced free agent yesterday. The rich keep getting richer. MLB NEEDS to put a salary cap in place. Period. It's seems more and more likely that the MLB is headed for another lockout sooner rather than later.
Also, Bo Nix has legs and he knows how to use em, or whatever ZZ Top said. The Broncos offense needs to utilize his legs tomorrow so the offense isn't one dimensional. Keep Buffalo on their toes.

16:18 - The Broncos offense is so up and down! They run hot and cold. That...

0:00 - The narrative surrounding the game tomorrow has been almost exlusively about Josh Allen vs the Broncos Defense. But what about Bo Nix? What should the expectations be for Bo and the Broncos offense? 

17:28 - Guys, calm down! Sean Payton was just joking around with Luca Evans. It's all good. ELE. Everybody love everybody. 

35:30 - The Seahawks might not have Sam Darnold on tomorrow. How will Broncos Legend Drew Lock look in his place? 
Also, Brett's innocuous question about the playoffs turns into a "hey remember this guy?" session about the '85 Bears.

0:00 - What's the blueprint for a Denver victory over Buffalo this Saturday? We previewed the game with our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold.

13:35 - In June 2024, the Dallas Mavericks were in the NBA Finals! Now, they're at the bottom of the barrell. How the mighty have fallen. As long as we live, we'll never understand the Luka Doncic - Anthony Davis trade.
After that, what's next for Mike Tomlin? Will he return to coaching? Should he? Or should he ride off into the media sunset and become a commentator/analyst?

33:42 - According to Shams, Jokic's...

0:00 - The Nuggets keep finding ways to win without Jokic, and they did it again last night in Dallas. From here on out, we don't want to hear any more excuses. Denver has proven they can win games with whoever is able to lace em up on any given night. "Oh, they lost because they were missing [insert player name here] isn't an acceptable excuse any more, and that's a good thing.

17:07 - We're making a call to the bullpen! DMac out, Raj in!
The Bills Mafia got mad at us online for suggesting that the key...

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...

0:00 - On Saturday, we have the Broncos vs Bills playoffs rematch! Why will this year's game be different from last year's? Why do the Broncos stand a chance this time around?

13:24 - What's the deal with Buffalo, NY? Why is the Bills Mafia a thing? Why would humans voluntarily take shots of schnapps out of a bowling ball then jump through a folding table in -50 degree weather with windchill of -100?

32:01 - Yesterday, Sean Payton identified and debunked The 3 Myths of Playoff Football.

0:00 - Are the Avs getting healthier? Or did they catch the same plague that we all did? The Avs actually have an extended bit of rest before they host Nasvhille on Friday. How are they using the extra time off? Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar answered all our burning questions this morning.

18:02 - We need help! Let's make a call to the bullpen. Darren "DMac" McKee (who puts the D in PHD) taps in for a sick Brett Kane.

31:45 - Vic Lombardi sat down for a one-on-one interview with Western Conference Player of the Week Peyton...

0:00 - The Jokic-less Nuggets won AGAIN! This is not how we saw these games going, but in a good way! Peyton Watson is having himself a month. His play in January has been fantastic. You know who isn't feeling well? Poor Brett Kane. He barely survived the Appetizer then had to leave the building. The Plague comes for all of us eventually.

17:42 - Did Luca Evans kick Sean Payton's dog or something? Sean really has a bone to pick with Luca "My Name is Luca" Evans for some reason. He got after Luca again yesterday. Do we care...

0:00 - OT and Shootouts are not kind to the Avs. Anything after the 3rd period is not Colorado's friend.
After that, Vic may have found a good answer for his question about why injuries are more common across all (most) sports these days.

18:09 - During Saturday's Broncos vs Bills divisional clash, when will you know if the Broncos can win? What will be the sign(s) that they'll win or lose?>

32:20 - George Paton signed a 6-year contract back in 2021, and he'll be due for an extension next year. EXTEND HIM. Aside from a couple...

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 g...

0:00 - The Avalance lost to the Maple Leafs in OT last night at Ball Arena. We're not used to seeing the Avs take home Ls! It's been a while. 

15:48 - The Steelers got embarrassed last night in the final NFL Wild Card playoff game. Houston didn't look much better, but their offense made the plays they needed to. Iis it time to move on from Mike Tomlin? Is it time to move on from Aaron Rodgers? Heck, will Aaron Rodgers even be playing football next season?

33:05 - The Broncos are a better team overall. But the B...

NFL Wild Card weekend is (almost) in the books. What are Adam Schefter's takeaways? Will Matt LaFleur have a job in Green Bay next season? Why do Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur have beef? Was it unprofessional for that Jacksonville reporter to console Liam Coen in the postgame press conference? Let's pick Shefty's brain on all of it.

Was it unprofessional for that Jacksonville reporter to console Liam Coen in the postgame press conference? Let's pick Shefty's brain on all of it.

19:19 - Avs are hosting the Leafs tonight at Ball Arena! What are the keys to an Avs victory?
Also, can we get Moser to call tonight's game using an Old Timey announcer voice?

34:30 - What's your...

0:00 - The stage is set. The Broncos will host the Bills on Saturday in the Divisional Round. Denver's out for revenge, baby. They got straight up embarrassed last year in their playoff game in Buffalo. Can they flip the script this time around?

10:29 - This game vs the Bills will come down to the last possession. No question. Which scenario would you rather have: Broncos defense oneeds to make a stop to secure the win? Or Broncos offense needs to drive down the field and score to secure the win?

28:24 - In these Jokic-less games, Zeke...

0:00 - It's official! Next Saturday, the Broncos will host the Bills in the Divisional Round. It's a rematch of last year's Broncos playoff game. How do we feel about the Bills this time around?

21:16 - Wild Card weekend did not disappoint! It rarely does. I hope you spent the whole weekend on your tuchus watching football. 

34:48 - The Jokic-less Nuggets beat the Milwaukee Bucks last night! Somehow, this scrappy squad keeps finding a way.

0:00 - Chad Brown joined us to break down last night's CFP game, preview tonight's Oregon vs Indiana game, and to delve into NFL Wild Card weekend. 

13:56 - There's a stacked NFL playoff slate this weekend which means it's time...to LAY IT DOWN!
(side note: I used to edit out Moser's grunting and breathing from the podcast, so there wasn't a weird long gap of quasi-silence. But it turns out, you sickos enjoy maximum Mose noises. So I'll always leave them in from here on out. Lesson learned)

34:13 - It's our favorite part of the w...

0:00 - Not only did Josh Manson have a Gordie Howe Hat Trick last night (goal, assist fight)...but he was a fight away from having a DOUBLE Gordie Howe Hat Trick. As far as we can tell, that's never happened before in NHL history.

13:16 - The NY Football Giants need a new head coach...did Jaxson Dart drop a hint about their coaching candidates? The internet lip readers seem to think so.
Also, the Cleveland Browns need a new head coach. Their starting QB (for now) is Shedeur Sanders. So you KNOW someone's gonna bring up the...

0:00 - Avs needed a get right game and they got one. Boy, did they EVER! An 8-2 beatdown of Ottawa that included 2 separate heavyweight fights. Good work, boys. 

16:33 - Miami beat Ole Miss last night which means...an SEC team will not with the college football championship this year. It's official: ENOUGH with the SEC bias. "It just means more," huh? Well it didn't seem to matter much this year. 

36:46 - Let's preview all the matchups from a stacked NFL Wild Card weekend that kicks off tomorrow. Brett & Mose developed a new system to evaluate QBs: gu...

0:00 - Our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold joined us to preview Wild Card weekend, and discuss the firing of Mike McDaniel and what's next for Miami.

18:35 - If you ask 10 Broncos fans who they want to face in the Divisional round, you'll get 10 different answers. Why is that? Why can nobody decide on a favorable matchup for Denver?

34:01 - Trae Young wanted out of Atlanta, and he specifically chose to head to...the Washington Wizards? Huh?

0:00 - The Nuggets won AGAIN last night, on the road, in a hostile enviroment, with no Jokic. The biggest positive takeaway from this East Coast road trip has been...Jamal Murray. He's absolutely stepping up to lead this depleted roster.

14:10 - The Avalanche power play is still a problem...but the penalty kill is really good. They have half of their special teams woes figured out.
Mid-segment, the news broke that the Dolphins have fired Mike McDaniel. Is John Harbaugh taking his talents to South Beach?

32:22 - All season long, Brett has questioned whether or...

0:00 - Down, but never out. The depleted Nuggets wrapped up their East Coast road trip by beating the Celtics in Boston! How da ya like them apples?? Looking back on the last few games, what have we learned about this Nuggets team, and more specifically, the bench?

17:15 - Lots of NFL teams are interested in hiring Vance Joseph to be their head coach right now. He has a whole slate of interviews lined up in the bye week. Let's be honest...the Broncos climbed to the AFC 1 seed on the back of the defense. Not the offense. So...

Didn't get enough of the Moseys over the past few days?? Not sure how that's possible! But if you're still craving more Moseys insanity, here's the recap of the 2025 edition. It got scrubbed from the podcast over the summer, so I'm bringing it back.
Take a walk down memory lane, guided by our favorite British fill-in traffic reporter, Vic D. 

Full disclosure, I had to edit out one song from the "singing" category for copyright reasons. So you all will have to sing I Keep Forgettin (Russ Ain't Here Anymore) on your own. I trust you all t...

Welcome to the 2026 Mosey Awards. Every year, we hold an Awards Show to honor all the dumb, stupid, terrible things we've done over the past year. 
This year's edition did not disappoint. Just when you thought we couldn't get any stupider, we found a way. Thanks for another great year of Moser, Lombardi and Kane, everyone. Happy New Year!

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...

0:00 - The Avs lost back-to-back games in regulation, and we don't know how to handle it. It's been ages! Also, some good news: according to Shams Charania, Jokic is making great progress in his injury recovery, and he could be back later this month.

Next Moseys Category: (Mostly) Vic vs Stats.

31:45 - So many Moseys to give...

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.

It's Black Monday aka one of Schefter's busiest days of the year. And yet, he still carved out a few minutes for us. What does Schefty think of the head coach firings so far? What are his thoughts on the NFL's playoff picture, which is finally set in stone?
