Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - On Friday, Davis Webb got to call plays for Bo Nix for the first time in his (hopefully long and fruitful) Broncos career. What were Webb's initial impression of Bo in game action, albeit preseason?

16:54 - MPJ went on a podcast (shocker) and said that letting KCP was the beginning of the decline for the 2023 Championship roster. Vic says that's a bit of revisionist history.
Also, what would you do for a billion dollars? Would you put someone's life at risk? How far would you go?

34:05 - Brett has some stats about the Rockies...

0:00 - What does Sean Payton hate most in a QB? Turnovers. Giving the ball away. You what Bo Nix didn't do last year very much? Give the ball away.

18:12 - Peyton Watson published a teary-eyed goodbye to Nuggets Nation on social media yesterday. He thanked a bunch of people, including the fans. But there's one notable person he didn't mention. Should we read the tea leaves here? Or are we making something out of nothing?

32:50 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies are in serious danger of losing 100 games AGAIN. Mission 63 is teetering precariously after their...

0:00 - Vance Joseph explained why the Broncos defense looked worse in Preseason Game #2 vs the Packers. Teams are figuring out how to create little cracks in the armor. How can the defense sharpen up in the final preseason game, and more importantly, the regular season?
More importantly...why is Moser wearing a massive leather wristband today?

17:32 - The SEC released another statement about the possibility of players leaving the pros to return to college. They're preventing anyone who's played in ANY pro league from rejoining their conference's schools. Yesterday, Kreckman and Lindahl said this is stupid. Treat...

0:00 - The ONE play in preseason showed us everything we need to know about Jaylen Waddle. He's ready to go. He'll get plenty of targets, and so will Courtland Sutton. After them...who's next in line? Will Troy Franklin step up? Will Marvin Mims ACTUALLY be used on OFFENSE? How about Pat Bryant?

15:37 - It's time for our weekly check-in with ESPN's Adam Schefter! Why the HECK would the Browns name Deshaun Watson the starter? Does Schefty's phone always light up light a Christmas tree on roster cut-down day? What does he make of NFL players returning to...

0:00 - Someone clearly told Deshaun Watson to do some damage control after his awkward presser on Saturday. Can you believe how many different starting QBs the Browns have had since they (re)entered the league in 1999? Or even worse, how many they've had since they told Baker Mayfield to get bent? 
No one knows sports pain like the Detroit Lions. Well, except for the Cleveland Browns.

22:43 - The SEC and Big 10 spoke up about the idea of pro football players being able to return to college. The NCAA has to step in and do something from the t...

0:00 - How was your Sunday? Did you have a good weekend? It couldn't have been much worse than 49ers Owner Jed York's Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio. 

17:34 - The current NBA CBA is a double-edged sword. It's created ultimate parity in the league! Gone are the days of Warriors-Cavs NBA Finals every single year. But also, it punishes teams for drafting and developing players into superstars. You can't reward a roster full of homegrown talent with lucrative contracts.

36:56 - Bill Barnwell of ESPN wrote an article featuring 5 teams that are most likely to decline. They were p...

0:00 - On Friday, Jaylen Waddle did what he does: caught the ball, planted his foot, switched directions, and racked up some YAC! The Broncos don't have another receiver who can do that. Man, he's gonna be a weapon for Bo. 

17:01 - DeMar DeRozan took a team friendly deal to sign with the Nuggets. Right now, the only way you can play for the Nuggets is if you take a pay cut. That's it. Thankfully, DeRozan was willing to play ball. Pun intended.

34:25 - 49ers Owner Jed York was arrested in Ohio for "engaging in prostitution." His c...

0:00 - The Broncos lost 33-13 to the Packers in Preseason Game #2. Big whoop. Bo Nix came out for the first two drives, and the Broncos scored on both drives. One TD, one FG. The first team offense looks solid. Should Bo even play in the final preseason game?

16:21 - Moser had a fun weekend full of Avalanche Alumni festivities. He caught up with Joe Sakic, and the elephant in the room is Cale's contract. Eventually, they're going to have to pay him. What's his value? How will they shed salary to make room?
Also, do you want...

0:00 - The Broncos lost to the Packers 33-13 at Mile High in Preseason Game #2. Again, it's preseason. The final score doesn't matter. You know what DOES matter? How good Bo Nix and the 1s looked in the first two drives of the game.

16:10 - Rich Paul has a podcast with Max Kellerman, because of COURSE he does, and he spoke about the Peyton Watson situation recently. Lots of Nuggets fans think Paul gave us the "smoking gun" we've all been looking for, but Brett doesn't agree.

32:44 - Deshaun Watson took the field in Cleveland for the...

0:00 - Broncos are hosting the Cheeseheads tonight in Game #2 of the preseason! What can we expect from Denver? What do we need to see?

15:59 - Unlike Brett, Vic is at peace with the Peyton Watson trade. He knew something like this needed to happen because of the 2nd apron. As it stands right now, the roster today is not as good as it was 2 days ago. That doesn't mean it can't be good or won't be good! But there are lots of factors and variables to this roster's success.

34:07 - It's our favorite part of the...

0:00 - We're at the Avalanche Alumni Charity Golf Tournament, so we should talk to an Avs alum! Tyson Barrie swung by to discuss everything from his burgeoning beer business to Cale Makar's upcoming contract extension.

14:06 - Speaking of Avs alums, one of the greatest Avs to ever lace 'em up Peter Forsberg sat down with the fellas today. Foppa's Avs won the Cup in 1996 and didn't bring Lord Stanley back to Denver until 2001. 5 years later. Well, this current Avs core won the Cup in 2022, and their next chance to win would be 2027. 5 years later. How did Foppa survive...

0:00 - Fernando Mendoza looked pretty good in preseason last night, aside from that one Pick 6. Will the Raiders start him right away? Or should he sit behind Kirk Cousins for a bit and learn the ropes? What's the proper approach to handling rookie QBs?

16:36 - The boys are live at Meadow Hills in Aurora for the Avalanche Alumni Charity Golf Tournament. John-Michael Liles swung by and chatted about his golf game with the boys. Turns out, he takes it pretty seriously. 
After that, Brett is still torn up about Peyton Watson getting traded. Vic and Mose say i...

0:00 - Now that training camp 2026 is in the book, how are the Broncos shaping up? What can we expect from preseason Game #2 tomorrow night at Mile High? Our Broncos Insider, ESPN's Jeff Legwold, has all the answers to our burning Broncos questions.

17:40 - The Nuggets traded Peyton Watson to the Cavs in a 3-team deal that also included the Clippers. In return, they got an unprotected 2031 Cavs first-round pick and a 2032 Kings second-rounder. There may be more moves in store, so we'll stay tuned for those. But in the meantime, Brett's gonna freak out and be emotional about...

0:00 - How did the Nuggets end up in this mess? Stuck in the second apron, no roster flexibility, no tradable assets, rinse and repeat. Vic went back through the fossil record and dug up move that got us to where we are today.

19:15 - A judge passed a ruling that will allow NFL players to return to the NCAA if they still have eligibility. For example, Diego Pavia wasn't drafted. The Ravens invited him to a mini-camp, signed him, then cut him. He hasn't played any NFL, so could he return to college? If this ruling holds, he...

0:00 - Yesterday, the Nuggets, Cavs, and Clippers did one of those 3-way trades that sent Peyton Watson to the Cavs in exchange for an unprotected 2031 Cavs first-round pick and a 2032 Kings second-rounder. Is there another move locked and loaded? Will these picks be packaged for something else? What's next from the Brain Trust of Tenzer and Wallace?

20:20 - Sean Payton addressed the media yesterday after training camp wrapped up, and he clarified that it wasn't a fight between Nix and Bonitto! It was something else. Also, he said the NFL will now be able to review fights/tussles...

0:00 - In Chad's playing days, he always chose to play in the preseason. For 4 games? No way. But for at least 2? Absolutely. It was necessary for him to be fully prepared for the season.

14:35 - Man, the Chargers can't keep their O-Line healthy. Yesterday, they lost their starting center among a laundry list of other injuries during their joint practice with the 49ers. That franchise is so incredibly snakebitten.
After that, things are getting messy in the City of Angels. Jeanie Buss is trying to stop her siblings from selling the family's minority ownership stake in the...

0:00 - Yesterday, Nik Bonitto was going full speed in practice. He shoved Garret Bolles into Bo Nix, and Bo got knocked down. Then a full on fracas broke out. As a former player, Chad says you have to be on the same page before practice. Are we going game speed? Are we taking it easy today? How hard are we going? When people are on different pages, that's when trouble ensues.

18:31 - Chad Brown had an incredible career playing football at CU. Heading into Year 4, what does he expect to see from Deion Sanders? Can Coach Prime finally...

0:00 - Broncos camp got a little chippy yesterday, boys! Bo Nix and Nik Bonitto got into a scrap that ignited the team. Do we like seeing that? Do we like seeing everyone tussle and scrap at practice, even if it involves the QB?

17:09 - Davis Webb pulled the starting offensive line during practice yesterday because they kept racking up false starts. Good for Webb. Gotta hold everyone accountable, starter or not. The standard is the standard.
Also, ESPN's Monday Night Countdown (MNF pregame show) is adding Pat McAfee as an analyst. Man...McAfee fatigue is real. How...

Week 1 of the NFL Preseason is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Davis Webb's debut? How is the AFC West looking as a whole? What else is he hearing from around the wide wide NFL world?

0:00 - Sean Payton gravitates towards RBs of a very specific height and body type. Why does Payton always go for short, stocky, built backs?

13:24 - Week 1 of the NFL Preseason is in the books! What did Adam Schefter think of Davis Webb's debut? How is the AFC West looking as a whole? What else is he hearing from around the wide wide NFL world?

31:59 - Ty Simpson, our co-worker on the LA Rams, looked SOLID in his preseason debut. He could be the heir apparent to Matthew Stafford's empire. Why are some first round QBs so...

0:00 - In a good way, this training camp has been relatively boring. No positional battles. Except for...backup QB, I guess. The Broncos also have like 50 TEs on the roster and yet none of them can produce. Hopefully that changes.

14:38 - It's no secret that Brett Kane is the President of the Marvin Mims Fan Club. Let's get Chad Brown's perspective...why does Marvin Mims never get any use on offense? Why has Sean Payton relegated him to special teams?

32:05 - Oh, by the way...CBS published a list of the most overrated teams in the...

0:00 - How is Sean Payton adjusting to his new in-game role now that Davis Webb is calling the plays on offense?

16:47 - ESPN dropped a supposed bombshell article about the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers cap circimvention mess with the headline, "Sources: NBA has no evidence Ballmer funneled money to Leonard via sponsors." Then the NBA released a statement saying the article "contains numerous and significant inaccuracies." SHEESH this mess keeps getting bigger and bigger. Will Adam Silver have the cojones to do what's right when it's time?

34:15 - How far training camp has come! We're sitting here...

0:00 - On Friday, the Broncos offense had a nice flow to it. A good rhythm. Smooooooth. Even in the preseason, that's a good sign. 

12:39 - The Nuggets and the Broncos are in similar situations right now, according to Kaner. The Nuggets are hanging their success on the health of Aaron Gordon. The offense goes as he goes. Meanwhile, the Broncos are hanging their success on the health of JK Dobbins. The run game goes as he goes. Unless each team can bolster their depth at those positions.

31:20 - LeBron James has officially launched a YouTube golf c...

0:00 - Make of preseason what you will, but the Broncos looked solid in Game #1 against the Falcons on Friday. Both sides of the ball were locked in. What did we think of Stiddy vs Ehlinger? And how about that 98-yard Pick 6 from Jahdae Barron?

12:23 - Chad Brown played with both Tom Brady and Adam Vinateri on the 2007 Patriots. Of course, Vinateri had ice in his veins and kicked his way into the HOF. But Chad says he was a strange dude. And that's usually the case with kickers and special teamers in general. 

29:21 - Oh, by t...

0:00 - I know it's only preseason but BRONCOS COUNTRY LET'S RIDE! The Broncos looked real good against the Falcons in preseason Game #1. How are we feeling about this squad and the re-vamped offense under Davis Webb? How did Stiddy look in a domed stadium that wasn't full of snow?
Shoutout Chad Brown for tapping in today for both Vic and Mose!

14:54 - What were some of the other biggest takeaways from preseason game #1? (pardon the technical difficulties. Make like Milli Vanilli and blame it on the rain)

31:21 - What does Chad Brown think about the...

0:00 - Are the Broncos flying under the radar nationally? This morning on Get Up, Dan Orlovsky said the Broncos are the best team no one's talking about. They're a legit Super Bowl contender, but they're not getting enough love.

14:23 - The full '26-'27 Nuggets schedule was released yesterday and it's SO much better than last year. The travel schedule is way more forgiving. We wonder if someone heard at the NBA Headquarters heard Vic bitching on airwaves last year and decided to do something about it...
After that, the Field of Dreams game was played last...

0:00 - The Broncos desperately need a bruiser RB. Someone who can hit the hole, drag the pile, and fall forward for extra inches. Who's gonna be that guy?
Also, did you watch Fernando Mendoza's debut with the Raiders last night? He looked pretty damn good. But he's having trouble adjusting to living in Sin City. 

13:53 - Cal Raleigh has fallen off the damn map. Last year, he was a legit AL MVP candidate. This year, he's living below the Mendoza line. Big Dumper ain't so big anymore. Have we ever seen a drop-off like this before?

0:00 - Friday Night Preseason Football is as good as it gets. Broncos being their preseason campaign on the road at Atlanta TAHNIGHT. What will we be looking for tonight? Wins and losses don't matter in preseason. So what DOES matter?

14:42 - Yesterday, all 30 NBA teams released their full schedule. And the Nuggets one actually isn't terrible! The traveling and back-to-backs isn't as brutal as it was last year. Vic's complaining actually worked! 

33:28 - Two things we'll be focused on throughout the preseason: QB and RB. Can Stiddy shake off his AFC Championship backwards pass demons, or w...

0:00 - Let's preview Broncos preseason Game #1 with our Broncos Insider, Jeff Legwold of ESPN. Why isn't Bo Nix playing int he game? What does Jeff think of the first depth chart with Stiddy as the #2 QB ahead of Ehlinger? Is he worried that the Broncos don't have any healthy centers?

17:00 - We're getting to the dog days of the MLB season. Who are the top teams in every division right now? How far away are the Rockies from ever getting to that level.
After that, we were SUPPOSED to talk about Russell Westbrook retiring, but we went...

0:00 - Yesterday, the Broncos released another batch of stadium renderings, specifically for the area around the stadium. The redeveloped land around Burnham Yard. And it looks like there WILL be space to gather and tailgate, but it won't be a wide-sprawling parking lot. It'll be a different arrangement.

13:37 - Lots of NBA G League teams, including the Grand Rapids Gold (Nuggets affiliate), are holding open tryouts this summer. Anyone can participate for a small fee. Would you give it a shot? Turns out, Vic's tried out for lots of sports teams during his prolific athletic prime.

32:09...

0:00 - Bo Nix won't suit up for the Broncos tomorrow in Atlanta. We assume Stiddy will get the start, since he's currently listed as 2nd on the depth chart. Does Ehlinger have a shot to pass him on the depth chart? Can he earn that backup job this preseason?
More importantly, does it matter? If Ehlinger played in the AFC Championship instead of Stiddy, do you think the Broncos would've looked significantly better?

16:59 - Russell Westbrook officially announced his retirement. For some reason, he was hated by many NBA fans throughout his NBA career. What made him...

0:00 - According to ESPN's Anthony Slater, there was a bit of a rift between Peyton Watson and the Nuggets during his hamstring strain recovery. When he didn't play at all during the playoffs, the Nuggets (reportedly) believed that he wasn't pushing himself so he could protect his upcoming restricted free agency. Do we believe that report at all? Do we think Watson would intentionally sideline himself for the sake of possibly signing a big contract?

16:57 - The Avalanche vs DU Alumni game is coming up next week, so we got one of those Avs alums on the air...

0:00 - Vic caught with with Wil Lutz after practice the other day. What was it like trying to kick a FG in the middle of a snowglobe? (not to keep bringing up painful AFC Championship game memories).
During this segment, news broke that the Lakers were sold again for a cool $12.5 billion. 

14:57 - NHL Network ranked Cale Makar as the top defenseman in the NHL. When it's time to pay him, he can name his price and the Avs will pay it. But should he? How big should his payday be?

31:24 - Oh, by the w...

0:00 - JK Dobbins left practice with a soft tissue injury the other day, then returned to practice the next day. He was chirping at the media about our "injury prone" narratives. So, is he healthy or not? Should he even see the field during the preseason? Or should be bubblewrap him?

19:49 - The Nuggets are playing the Warriors in the late slot on Christmas Day. Denver absoLUTEly deserves a Christmas Day game. They're a good enough team to earn that honor. But the Warriors? They're old and bad. There's only ONE reason they made the cut: Wardell Stephen...

0:00 - Who are the most important Broncos players both on offense (not including Bo Nix) and defense?

14:35 - Adam Schefter joined us for a bit, stepped away to field a phone call about some big news, then rejoined us to share the latest headlines from around the NFL world. We wonder what that big news is going to be...

32:48 - Friends don't let friends skip leg day! You can't end up looking like Chris Berman out here! Let's pause the show for a sec so all our hosts can squat up a storm and stay limber.

0:00 - The full '26-'27 NBA Schedule will be released later this week, now that LeBron James has a new home. But a few dates have already leaked. The Nuggets won't play on NBA opening night, but they'll play at Golden State in the late slot on Christmas Day. Thankfully the Broncos and Nuggets games won't overlap that day. 

13:24 - Let's hear more of the conversation between Sean Payton & his BFF Kay Adams. She also sat down with Bo Nix for some piping hot ankle talk.

29:26 - Oh, by the way...a scoreboard error lead to m...

0:00 - Happy Kay Adams Day! She made her annual pilgrimage to Broncos camp yesterday, sat down with Sean Payton, and got him to give real human answers to questions! It's the one time every year we actually get good, natural, free-flowing conversation out of Sean. What did he divulge to his best media friend this year?

15:48 - A few months ago, Brett said this offseason would kill Nuggets fans. And we didn't understand the half of it. Remember our Greek buddies Panathinaikos who waged war on our station last year and tried to steal Jonas Valanciunas? Well, they're...

0:00 - Will Sean Payton be able to TRULY hand the playcalling keys over to Davis Webb? Will he be able to stay hands off? How involved should he be?

15:44 - The CFP is considering expanding to a 20-team format. Do we like this idea?
After that, a golfer cooked up an elaborate scam/scheme to make it look like he hit a hole-in-one at a tournament this weekend. You've gotta respect the hustle and brains it took to pull it off, but he needs to be punished for that. Severely.

30:39 - The first Broncos preseason...

0:00 - Davis Webb recently spoke about Bo Nix's progress heading into his 3rd season as the Broncos QB. What's next for Bo, and more importantly, the Broncos offense as a whole?

12:46 - Nikola Jokic hasn't signed his extension yet. The longer he waits, the more money he can make. That's why he didn't sign last offseason, and might wait till this next offseason. Is that selfish? Should he take a team friendly discount like Jalen Bruson so the team has more money to spend?

29:21 - Oh, by the way...candidates for the 2027 Pro Football HOF class...

0:00 - We're a little over halfway through Broncos training camp. What have we seen so far? THANKFULLY there's only been one season-ending injury **knock on wood** How are we feeling about the team? Also, welcome back Kaner.

14:59 - Sean Payton and several other Broncos coaches and players attended Drew Brees' HOF induction ceremony this weekend in Canton. In his induction speech, Brees praised Peyton and his insane football knowledge and overly meticulous preparation. The relationship between your head coach and QB makes all the difference.

32:55 - The Buffalo Bills unveiled their new stadium this weekend, and...
