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, Ut...

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 fel...

Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues today with the Round of 32! But, we're doing things a little differently. All the drops have been sorted into groups of 4. Only one drop will emerge from each group. It's a group stage knockout round. So for those keeping score at home, we're skipping the Sweet 16 and heading straight to the Elite 8, baby. Yesterday, we worked our way through both the Vic & Moser Regions. Today, we're tackling the Brett & Nelly Regions. Which 4 drops...

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 ou...

0:00 - The Dallas Stars are falling at the worst possible time, while the Avs keep winning. Remember when it seemed like Dallas would never lose again? And now they're coming back down to earth. The Avs are so close to locking up the Central for good. 14:08 - There are no more excuses for the Nuggets! The roster is healthy. You're well-rested. You're at home playing a team that's actively tanking. You HAVE to win tonight. But beyond that, you have 8 games left. Show us you know how to play defen...

0:00 - The drought is OVA. The Avalanche finally scored a regular season goal in Winnipeg AND won a game! How da ya like them apples? So the Avs won in regulation and the Dallas Stars lost again. The Central Division is all but clinched for Colorado. Oh, and one more thing...when are people going to learn that fighting Josh Manson is NEVER a good idea!? But more importantly IT'S TIME FOR THE ROUND OF 32! Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues with our second group stage/knockout ...

Also, what does Leggy think about the NFL competition committee's proposed rule changes? 21:22 - Wemby think he should win MVP this year and he's openly stating his case! How do we feel about players who campaign for themselves to win MVP? Players like that one dude in Philly who "won" NBA MVP in 2023...shoot, what was his name...that guy who never plays i...

His old school is hiring him back because everything he did back then that was illegal...is now legal in the NIL era. 32:18 - Oh, by the way...a pizzeria in Omaha is RAKING in money by hustling Jell-O shots.

0:00 - No sleep, no problem. Jamal Murray dropped 53 points on Dallas' head and Nikola Jokic was ONE assist away from a 20-20-20 game. Absurd. And it didn't go to waste! The Nuggets won! Man, it was fun to see the Jokic/Murray duo do what they do best. And on top of that, Jamal Murray plays the DEFINITION of "Ethical Basketball." Always has. Unlike a certain Canadian MVP favorite who shall remain nameless. Or a certain big man who resides in Miami... But more importantly IT'S TIME FOR THE ROUND ...

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 ...

0:00 - Also, let's dust off an old conversation we haven't had in awhile...Jokic isn't going to win MVP. It'll go to SGA, Luka, or Wemby before it goes to him. Which is crazy because Jokic is putting up MONSTER numbers this season, and yet his name isn't even mentioned in the MVP conversation. Not one peep. We've become so accustomed to his greatness. 14:07 - Coors Field recently released a list of all the new food combos that will be available at Rockies games this year. Do any tickle your fanc...

0:00 - Did you stay up for that game? Hope you did, 'cause it was a nailbiter. The Nuggets snuck past the Suns in the desert and secured a much-needed win (do I need to say that after every win? I feel like it goes without saying that every win for the Nuggets is much-needed at this point in the season). But, the Nuggets had to fly home after the game, got to their beds around 4am or 5am, and they have another game tonight. The league has do to something about these brutal back-to-backs with inc...

He explained why he's been using a small-ball lineup recently, and why his team's defense looked better over the weekend. 13:51 - Marvin Mims told Vic he was "surprised" by the Broncos acquiring Jaylen Waddle. If we're reading between the lines here, he was surprised because Waddle is a carbon copy of him. Similar builds, similar heights, similar player. How will the Broncos use two of the same guy? 33:15 - Former CU QB Ryan Stau...

0:00 - Yesterday, we broke down Nuggets playoff scenarios. Would you rather the Nuggets face the Spurs before the Thunder? Or vice versa? Which team would you rather face earlier? Vic would rather face OKC as late as possible. Coach and Raj disagreed with that take. Get it out of the way sooner. Today, Raj came on our show to debate Vic. 14:40 - The Broncos won't make a pick in the NFL Draft until the 2nd round. 62nd overall pick. Who should the Broncos target with that pick? 32:54 - Oh, by the ...

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 - Landy was finally back on the ice after his...lower body injury. And he looked like he hasn't missed a step. He immediately made an impact in yesterday's game. I know we sound like a broken record but he is SUCH a difference maker when he's on the ice. 14:57 - Marvin Mims and Jaylen Waddle are pretty similar players. They're both short speedster receivers. So how will they be used? How will their roles be different? Will we see them both on the field at the same time? 34:10 - What was you...

It's science. Colorado is the place to be. 15:22 - The Rockies have their opening day roster set! Do we actually know these guys? How many members of the roster can Vic name? Also, David Adelman sung Peyton Watson's praises in his postgame press conference. Brett says there's no way they're letting Watso...

They don't have the top seed secured quite yet, but that cushion definitely helps. 15:01 - Peyton Watson looked good in his return for the Nuggets! Even though he admitted that he was tired. The altitude whooped his butt. But all things considered, he had a big impact on yesterday's game. Man, the Nuggets...

How many times do you think he practiced his speech in the mirror before the game? What would he have said if they lost? I guess we'll never know. 14:33 - Double Diparoo tonight!

Not in the usual sad, depressed, or angry way coaches get after a tough loss. It was just...weird. 15:26 - We've all been talking about the impact Jaylen Waddle can have with the football in his hands. TDs, yards, catches, etc. But what about his impact WITHOUT the football? When he doesn't have it in his hands? How can he open up the field ...

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...

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, ...

How is Head Coach Jared Bednar feeling ahead of the game? Is his battered, beat up, bruised squad ready? 19:46 - The Broncos had to trade their first round pick to Miami in exchange for Jaylen Waddle. We don't care. Waddle is worth WAY more than a 30th overall pick. He's a bird in the hand. The 30th pick is a gamble a...
