Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - Yesterday, Marty Necas signed an 8 year extension worth $11.5 mil per year. Now that he's signed, the Marty/Mikko trade saga is officially done. That chapter has closed. Looking back on it all, who would you rather have right now? Today? As it currently stands? Marty or Mikko?
After that, both the Avs and Nuggets play today/TAHNIGHT, so that necessitates a DOUBLE Keys to the Game.

18:44 - Moser's in Vegas right now...so when he tells you to LAY IT DOWN, you better listen and listen good. 

30:37 - It's our favorite part of the w...

0:00 - YOUR DENVER NUGGETS ARE PLAYING THE PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS IN GAME #1 OF THE EMIRATES NBA CUP GROUP STAGE BABY! TONIGHT! IN SEASON TOURNAMENT ACTION! I'M SO EXCITED!
In all seriousness...is there a way to make the NBA Cup more exciting for the fans? How about the players? How do you get them to buy in?

19:33 - The NFL Trade Deadline is next Tuesday. Do the Broncos need to make a trade? Who should they target?

32:12 - It's the sultry, salacious, sensual sensation that's sweeping the nation. Let's preview Broncos @ Texans coming up on...

0:00 - 8 MORE YEARS OF THE MARTY PARTY! Woo hoo! How we feeling about the extension? With everything squarely in the rearview mirror, how do we feel about the whole Mikko/Marty trade?

14:51 - Texter posed a great question: are the Broncos seen as "fraud" around the league? As in, one of these teams whose record is fools gold and will be exposed soon enough. See: the Pittsburgh Steelers.

32:09 - What's next for CU football? Honestly...what can Deion do to salvage the season? Can the season be salvaged? Or should he start planning for next year...

0:00 - Our Nuggets fever almost distracted us, but we got back on track! Jeff Legwold joined us to preview Broncos @ Texans coming up on Sunday.

18:38 - This year has been WILD for college football. It's been utterly unpredictable, and even more so than last year! 
After that, the Nuggets feel more focused this year. Last night, they beat up a bad team. They didn't take their foot off the gas and almost blow it late, like they would've done last year...or the year before that...or the year before that...or the year before that...or t...

0:00 - The Cleveland Browns Team Store is stocked full of Shedeur Sanders jerseys. And you know what isn't anywhere to be found? Dillon Gabriel jerseys. What the heck is going on over there?
After that, what was your favorite play/moment from last night's Nuggets victory over the Pelicans 122-88?

14:41 - Can the Broncos offense crack the elite Texans defense? Can Deion and the Colorado Buffaloes rebound from a truly embarrassing loss to the Utes? Let's ask someone who knows pro and college football like the back of his hand: Chad Brown.

34:11 - It's essentially...

0:00 - The Nuggets obliterated the Pelicans last night at Ball Arena 122-88. Sure the Pelicans are bad, but the Nuggets actually rose to the task and blew out a bad team. And, they looked good doin it. This is a DEEP team. The bench can actually play. Jokic is able to sit for multiple minutes (plural!) without the entire game unravelling. It's what we've needed to see for years now!

15:08 - Cam Johnson is still figuring out his role with the Nuggets. What has his role been so far and what should it be? How does his usage...

0:00 - Aidan Hutchinson signed a 4-year extension with the Lions. It makes us appreciate Nik Bonitto's contract even more, because the Broncos are getting him for the bargain of all bargains.
Also, 41-year old TE Marcedes Lewis signed with the Broncos practice squad. He won't be used as a pass catcher. Payton's bringing him in for one reason and one reason only: blocking.

13:01 - Carlie Irsay-Gordon means BUSINESS in Indy. She's taking her role as seriously as maybe any owner in the entire NFL right now. 
After that, what are the keys to a Nuggets victory o...

0:00 - Last night, the Avs exorcised the Devils by a score of 8-4! The power of the Avs compells you! 4 of those goals came from the Power Play. Aside from a brutal 4 minute stretch that let New Jersey sneak back into the game, it was a completely dominant performance we've been waiting to see from this team. 

14:23 - Someone asked Deion if there's a quick fix to CU's issues. Coach Prime then went on a monologue about how everyone wants everything instantly in today's society and no one has any patience anymore. He managed to incorporate "BBL" and "t...

0:00 - Turns out...when the Avs have 5 guys on the ice...and the other team has 4 dudes on the ice...you're supposed to score! And good things happen when you do that!
Last night, the Avs scored 4 power play goal en route to an 8-4 drubbing of the Devils. Aside from 4 awful minutes, the Avs played on heck of a game and it was great to see!

16:56 - Brett Kane Finds Out did some digging, as he does. He compares all the stats, both offensive and defensive, between the 2015 Broncos and the 2025 Broncos. And on paper, the...

0:00 - Let's evaluate the Broncos vs Cowboys game using the infamous Harbaugh Hierarchy.

13:48 - All things considered, the Avs are sittin' pretty in the standings because of all their OT losses. Still stackin' up points, baby! But, let's nitpick a bit. What can the Avs do to start, let's see...winning games? In regulation? Is that too much to ask?
After that, PSII will miss some amount of time (TBD after more evaluation) because of a pectoral injury. How will the defense do without him? Can they hold it down in his absence?

33:40 - Just...

0:00 - Jokic actually...got rest? In the 4th quarter? He didn't play the entire 4th quarter? Really?
David Adelman said in his postgame presser, "I couldn't play Jokic 15 minutes in a row." IS THIS REAL LIFE?

13:33 - The Shedeur Sanders Saga keep dragging on and on and on out there in Cleveland. At this point...WHY NOT? Why wouldn't you just throw him out there to try SOMETHING? Anything? What do you have to lose? The season's already toast. 

31:06 - Another night, another crazy-efficient Triple Double from Jokic. Some things never change.
After that, w...

0:00 - The Nuggets finally beat the Minnesota Basketball Timberwolves! It actually happened! Granted, Anthony Edwards wasn't playing but it still counts. The new-look Nuggets are starting to figure it out. Jamal Murray looks ready to go!

14:06 - PSII got banged up in the Cowboys game, and it's looking like a pectoral strain. He may head to IR after further evaluation. If PSII is sidelined for 4-6 weeks, will the Broncos be fine without him?

36:07 - The Dodgers won Game 3 of the World Series last night...IN 18 INNINGS! They played TWO FULL BASEBALL GAMES against the Jays...

The NFL Trade Deadline is about a week away, and there are rumors swirling that the Broncos might be in the market for a WR. Adam Schefter think that's not necessary ESPECIALLY after what we saw yesterday. The Broncos have enough talented young pass catchers as it is. They just have to utilize them properly.

0:00 - Was yesterday's Broncos win more about their offense finally figuring it out? Or more about how awful Dallas' defense is? Let's see what ESPN's Adam Schefter thinks about Denver destroying the Cowboys. 

14:58 - Really? Austin Reaves is out here dropping 51 points in a game? The season is young, and we've already seen multiple 50+ point performances, including one from our very own Aaron Gordon. Vic says this is the new NBA norm. Expect scoring to keep climbing.
Next, what's wrong with the Avs? Sure they're stacking points in the standings, but why can't they score on the P...

0:00 - The Broncos offense came alive yesterday. THAT'S the game we've wanted to see from the offense FOREVER. And good for all the rookies getting involved. That was complete all-around dominance.

13:50 - Any. Given. Sunday. Let's relive all the madness from yesterday and take a look around the NFL.

31:51 - Which Broncos players were In the Groove yesterday? After that, the Nuggets are playing the Boogeyman tonight: The Minnesota Timberwolves. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

0:00 - HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!? Denver destroyed Dallas yesterday at Mile High and finally put on the offensive clinic we've been waiting for. Was this game more about Denver's offense going off, or Dallas' defensive issues?

16:06 - After 8 games, how do Broncos fans feel about Riley Moss? He drew a lot of criticism early in the season. Do those feeling still linger? Or are people a fan of his now?
After that, CU's game vs Utah was like a car crash. It was so awful and terrible, and yet we couldn't look away. How do you make...

0:00 - The details about Chauncey Billups being involved in the rigging of illegal poker games was just the tip of the iceberg. The FBI's investigation has uncovered more information that might link Chauncey to illegal sports betting practices that involved giving bettors private information to help them accurately place their bets. Man, who knows how deep this rabbit hole goes?

18:47 - The Broncos this year have been incredibly unpredictable. To put it mildly. Brett asked Vic how he's feeling about Sunday's game vs Dallas, and Vic genuinely has no idea. With how this season's going for the Broncos...

0:00 - Moser had to leave early today to travel east with the Avs. But we couldn't miss this segment for the world. So earlier than we usually do...it's time...to take all your spare change from the satchel...and LAY IT DOWN!

16:48 - Our first Double Diparoo of the young season was a Double Losearoo. In a nutshell, what went right and wrong for both the Avs and Nugs?

30:01 - The Broncos HAVE to take advantage of the weak Cowboys defense. Brett explains what the Broncos offense needs to do to get rolling early (instead...

0:00 - Our first Double Diparoo of the season was a double Lossaroo. The Avs/Nordiques fell to the Hurricanes/Whalers in a shootout, and the Nuggets lost to the Warriors in OT. What are the positive and negative takeaways from both games? 

21:28 - As the week goes on...Brett's feeling more and more nervous about the Cowboys coming to town on Sunday. Why is that doubt slowly creeping in?

33:34 - Yesterday, we had to bump Chad Brown so we could listen to the FBI's press conference about the sports gambling/betting probe. Chad joined us today, a...

0:00 - Can the Broncos offense tear up the porous Cowboys defense? Can the high-scoring Cowboys offense pick apart the iron-clad Broncos defense? Let's preview Sunday's game with ESPN's Jeff Legwold.

14:31 - More and more information about Chauncey Billups' involvement in illegal gambling rings is coming to light throughout the day. Vic says he got duped by awful people looking to make an easy buck, and it reminded him of a particlar movie scene.

31:46 - CSU Rams QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi has announced he's leaving the program. First Norvell gets fired, now the QB leaves. What a fall...

0:00 - FBI Director Kash Patel addressed the media and explained the details of the FBI's investigation into the NBA surrounding illegal gambling & betting practices.

14:54 - US Attorney Joseph Nocella dug deeper into the details of the FBI's NBA probe, and explained Chauncey Billups' involvement in everything.

31:32 - The Avalanche are at home against the Hurricanes, and the Nuggets begin their season on the road at Golden State. What are they keys to victory in both of those games?

0:00 - News broke during the Appetizer Hour that the FBI arrested both Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups as part of a probe into "illegal sports better and poker games schemes." FBI Director Kash Patel will address the media later today with more info. Until we get that info, we don't want to speculate. But no matter what, it's hearbreaking to see Chauncey's name come up.

16:23 - Sean Payton addressed the media yesterday and clarified the now-infamous Dart/Russ comment. He also qiubbled with reporters about Denver's 5-2 record, and all the screen plays. Sean loves a good quibble!<...

0:00 - Man, Bedsie dropped some truth bombs during his interview! The guys reacted to everything he said, especially about the BS offsides call that negated Landy's goal. Also, there's a clip circulating of a depressed young Jets fan. He didn't chose the Jets fandom. He was born into it, and he's suffering because of it.

14:41 - The Broncos are hosting the Cowboys this Sunday! Can the Broncos defense contain the high-flying Cowboys offense? Can the porous Cowboys defense smother Bo? Let see what the numbers say. 

29:37 - Vic is no stranger to trash talk! He chirped C...

0:00 - The more and more we think about it...the offsides call from last night makes no sense. Nothing about that sequence should've resulted in the Avs having a goal TAKEN OFF THE BOARD because of an offsides player.

17:02 - Dre Greenlaw appealed his suspension, and it was upheld. Man...what on earth did Dre say to that Ref?

29:33 - We think the offsides call against the Avs was bogus last night, but let's get a second opinion. Spoiler alert: Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar agrees with us.

0:00 - Gabe Landeskog scored an awesome goal yesterday...and it was taken off the board by a bogus offsides call. My time machine worked! It's 2019 again! It's the same thing that happened to the Avs against the Sharks in the playoffs. That wasn't the sole reason the Avs lost to Utah last night, but it's one of those huge momentum swings that changes the trajectory of a game.

13:40 - After the Broncos vs Giants game, Sean Payton took a vague shot at Russ Wilson. Or did he? Did Russ catch a stray unintentionally? Either way, Russ responded on...

0:00 - The NFL suspended Dre Greenlaw for 1 game because he said some no-no words to a ref on Sunday after the Broncos beat the Giants. What options does he have to appeal the suspension? It needs to happen quickly, whatever it is. We asked NFL Super Agent Peter Schaffer how that process works. His clients have dealt with suspensions before, so he understands the process firsthand. 

14:41 - Sean Payton had some high praise for Jaxson Dart during this past offseason. After that, the Blue Jays are headed to the World Series because of a colossal Springer Dinger. Let's h...

0:00 - Yesterday, DMac asked a pretty blunt (but warranted) question to Sean Payton in his Zoom presser. Today, DMac hopped on the show to defend his question.

15:05 - Christian Braun inked a contract extension with the Nuggets yesterday! 5 years x $125 Million. Is that a good deal? Is it an overpay? More importantly, how will impact the Nuggets cap/aapron/confusing CBA stuff going forward?

33:20 - Let's use the Harbaugh Hierarchy to evaluate Sunday's Broncos vs Giants game.

0:00 - Dre Greenlaw returned to the field on Sunday...then got suspended for 1 game. Welp, that was quick. Was it warranted? How did he find himself in this mess?

15:51 - In a shocking turn of events, Vic Lombardi goes to bat (pun intended?) for sports referees/officials/umpires. After that, the World Series is set. Blue Jays vs Dodgers. And Brett is torn. He always roots for an American team ESPECIALLY against a Canadian team. But the American team...is the Dodgers! We can't root for the Dodgers and we also can't root for Canada. What's a man...

The odds weren't in Denver's favor yesterday...until they were. What an insane comeback win over the NY Football Giants at Mile High. Adam Schefter joined us today and rattled off some numbers that put the impossible game in perspective.

0:00 - Adam Schefter joined us this morning and rattled off some numbers that demonstrate just how improbably Denver's win over the Giants was yesterday.

19:18 - Yesterday's Broncos win was a Rorschach Test. You can look at that game and have whatever takeaway you want, and you're right. Did you love the game? Did you hate the game? Did you feel all the emotions? No matter what you thought, you're right. 

34:00 - For every game, ESPN has their "win probability" chart that changes throughout the game and shows the, you guessed it, probability that either team will w...

0:00 - This Broncos team can play horribly, or they can play lights out. It's amazing to see how they flip flop back and forth between 2 different versions of themselves. They'll pulled off 3 consecutive thrilling come from behind victories. Bo's orchestrated game-winning comeback drives in all of them. But you know what would also be awesome? Winning a game wire to wire! Not needing late game theatrics to win a game. 

17:54 - Let's step away from the Broncos win for just a second and take a look Around the NFL.

31:33 - Which Broncos players were in the g...

0:00 - WHAT A BRONCOS WIN! It doesn't feel like we witness one game yesterday. It feels like that was 2 games. 3 games. 5 games. A lifetime of different games all crammed into one. What an adventure!

15:27 - We're 7 games into the season...and it STILL feels like Bo Nix and Sean Payton are on very different pages more often than not. They certainly were yesterday for 3 quarters. Hopefully, Sean learned from that 4Q comeback and understands how to set his QB up for success going forward. But Bo isn't blameless. He also missed some must-make throws throughout the game.
<...

0:00 - Giants fans are super high on the Darts and their Skattebos and that's great, man. Good for them. But don't forget who you are. The lowly Giants are facing the elite Broncos defense! IN DENVER! With a Rookie QB! As the late great Peter McNab one said..."It's over, pal."

15:10 - Do you have any extra quarters? The Tooth Fairy brought you a good haul? Maybe Granny sent you a fat check for your birthday. What you're gonna do...is that all your schmeckles...call up your bookie...and LAY IT DOWN! Moser, take it away!
<...

0:00 - Rumos were swirling that Penn State might try to snatch up Curt Cignetti. So Indiana took preventative measures to make sure that won't happen. It got us thinking...what's a better landing spot for a coach. A big prestigious school with a rich football history and high expectations? Or a "smaller" less presitigious place where you get paid? 

14:49 - The Avs depth was on display last night. The 2nd line handled the scoring last night in the win over Columbus.
After that, it's everyone's favorite new sultry salacious sensual segment! Let's preview Broncos vs Giants with a...

0:00 - Another Avs game, another Avs win! They beat the Columbus Blue Jackets and now have a record of 4-0-1. It's pretty much the exact opposite of last year's start. Thanks goodness.

17:09 - Joe Flacco vs Aaron Rodgers turned out to be a really entertaining clash of the retirees! Mike Tomlin was onto something when he criticized the Browns GM for trading Flacco within the division. 

32:07 - Colin Cowherd is out here pushing Sean Payton's propaganda about Bo Nix. But what else is new? Here's the latest from the Cowherd Spin Machine.

0:00 - Leggy joined us today to dig into everything from Dre Greenlaw's return, Cam Skattebo's...unique playing style, and Brett Kane's KC Conspiracy.

20:00 - Bruce Boudreau, of name mispronunciation fame, said the Avs are the most impressive NHL team so far this season. After that, the Dallas Stars are a HUGE thorn in the Avalanche's side. Is there another local team that struggles with an opponent as muich as the Avs struggle with the Stars?

32:59 - The line for the Giants @ Broncos game is shifting and not in the way you'd expect. Why is that?

0:00 - Both Nik Bonitto and JFM had some wild ways to describe Cam Skattebo yesterday. He's an absolute lunatic and we're here for it.

15:05 - We always catch up with Chad Brown at 8:30am on Thursday! How does Chad feel about the state of his beloved Buffaloes heading into their bye week? How does he think the Broncos offense can improve?

34:00 - Bill Barnwell proposed a trade that might benefit the Broncos. After that, we're 1/3 of the way into the season. Bo has 6 more games under his belt. Is he improving? Does he do anything better...

0:00 - Dre Greenlaw has officially been activated from IR! He can return when he's ready. But...when will he actually BE ready? Don't ask Sean Payton about it. 

19:38 - Brett's not a conspiracy guy...but he's connecting some dots that are hard to ignore regarding the Chiefs and NFL officiating.

34:36 - Russell Westbrook just signed with the Sacramento Kings. Why did he choose SacTown specifically? And why did he wait so long to sign somewhere?

0:00 - Brett has an interesting take on the Avalanche PP and the Nuggets bench, and how they're in similar situations. After that, the "Chiefs benefit from favorable calls" narrative just won't go away. The latest controversy was Detriot's trick play TD on Sunday Night Football that the refs took off the board. Dan Campbell addressed on his radio show this week and added some more fuel to the fire.

18:15 - (Producer's note: again, I'm sorry you can't hear the music coming back from break. I edited together another silly piece that used copyrighted music. Instead, enjoy our awkward l...

0:00 - The Avalanche are off off to a HOT start! 4 games, 3 wins, 0 regulation losses. How does Jared Bednar feel about his squad's performance so far in the young season?

23:00 - There's one play from Broncos vs Jets that isn't getting enough attention. Vic explains how Hufanga completely changed the trajectory of the game when it matter most, and helped Denver secure the win.

33:55 - It's been awhile...let's play another edition of NFL True or False that eventually devolves into a debate about how "real" jet lag is.
