0:00 - It's college football Week 0. Football is officially back in our lives. Do you have any spare change floating around your house? Moser will tell you exactly what to do with it...LAY IT DOWN!
Also, last season we found out that Sam Ehlinger received offers from other teams. But he chose to stay in Denver as a backup. Why? Why didn't he take a chance elsewhere?

18:02 - Connor Hellebuyck is done with Winnipeg, and has publicly requested a trade. Should the Avs go get him? Can they afford him? Is Hellebuyck an upgrade over their current goalie duo?

35:01 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered. 

Today's edition includes: Tom Holland and Zendayayaya, Shirtless Kyle Keefe, spear a large hog, and Scott Hastings' post-shower routine.

0:00 - Brett has tuned into every preseason Raiders game for one reason and one reason only: creeping on Fernando Mendoza. Is he NFL ready? Now that he has 3 games under his belt, will he be named the starter? Or should he sit behind Kirk Cousins for a bit?

14:18 - Shannon Sharpe lamented the death of the NFL Pro Bowl, and blame the players themselves. Is he right? Why doesn't anyone take All-Star/Pro Bowl-type stuff seriously in any league anymore? (except for maybe MLB players?)

31:37 - Oh, by the way...a man pretended to be a 49ers receiver online and scammed 26 people out of $1.3 million! 
Oh, by the way...a Dallas judge blocked the SEC and NCAA from preventing pro players from returning to college. How does this judge stuff all work? Who has the final say? How can some judge overrule the whole league?
Oh, by the way...the Atlanta Braves did something yesterday that hasn't been done since September of 1889.

0:00 - On the show First Things First, Geoff Schwartz had a questionable take on Bo Nix and his ceiling/floor. His take was SO bad that it got community noted on Twitter! That actually happened. AND Sean Payton replied! Coach RARELY ever tweets, but he dusted off the ol' Twitter account to go to bat for Bo. 

17:29 - Connor Hellebuyck has officially and publicly requested a trade out of the frozen hellscape of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Hero of Team USA is seeking greener pastures. Should the Avs acquire his services?

34:24 - The new Seattle Seahawks owner addressed the media for the first time yesterday and revealed that he's a...lifelong Steelers fan. Yikes. Probably shoulda kept that one to yourself!

0:00 - If ESPN cuts Jeff Legwold, will he got back to college to play out the rest of his eligibility? For now, he's still our Broncos Insider. What can we expect from the final preseason game? Does Leggy have any intel on Jonathon Cooper, or how the organization plans to handle the situation? 

18:16 - CU is opening their season at Georgia Tech next week. Look, it's one game. It's Week 1 and teams are still working out the kinks ESPECIALLY in the portal era when you don't know who the heck is on the roster. But all that being said...we're going to learn A LOT about the Buffs from that game. That game could set the tone for the season/Year 4 of Deion.

35:07 - The news broke earlier today that the Avs and Cale Makar are nearing a contract extension. It's coming sooner rather than later. What's the price tag for Makar? He can get any number he wants, right?

0:00 - Yesterday, Moser had a Bo Nix take that ruffled a lot of feathers on the Twitter/X Machine. Today, Moser attempted to defend his position. Was he successful? You be the judge. 

12:57 - The Minnesota Timberwolves signed Jonathan Kuminga yesterday. Where does he slot into their plans? How will the Nuggets stack up against this revamped Wolves team?
The NFL is officially retiring the Pro Bowl games. RIP the Pro Bowl. Gone, but never forgotten. What caused the decline of the Pro Bowl? It used to mean something. It used to be an honor!

30:47 - Oh, by the way...The Rockies have introduced another gluttonous hotdog monstrosity to their menu. Would you attempt to eat all 2 feet of it?
Oh, by the way...ESPN said they're removing the ticker at the bottom of the screen for college football broadcasts this year. Will you miss it? Are you pro or con ticker?
Oh, by the way...speaking of ESPN, they sent a very strange push notification to everyone's phones last week. And we're a little shocked that THAT story was considered notification-worthy.

0:00 - The NFL released a statement about the hottest topic in football right now: players who want to return to college. And basically, their statement kicks the can down the road to the NCAA. They said "you figure it out." So what will the NCAA do?

19:11 - Carmelo Anthony has a podcast, because every athlete with a pulse has one these days. He recently delved into an off-court activity he used for team bonding. When they needed to break out of a losing streak, they frequented a particular establishment. But his read on the situation is a flat out lie. 

37:44 - Sean Payton spoke after practice yesterday, and answered (or didn't answer) everyone's questions in his classic Payton way. Good question. I appreciate the question, relative to you asking it.

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, but advanced metrics are for nerds. Who has time for that? Let's talk about something better instead, shall we?

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 recent losing streak.
Oh, by the way...the Falcons QB situation has gone from bad to worse to impossibly bad.
Oh, by the way...a German politican has a radical idea to strengthen the bond between the government and the public. But he's trying to bring everyone a little too close for comfort. Lots to undress here...

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 the NCAA like a glorified minor league and let players jump between leagues, like you would in any other sport.

35:28 - Did you watch the Dunkman Championship last night? Do you know what I'm talking about? If you don't know or don't care, you're on the same page as Brett.

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 college for another year?

34:07 - It seems like every month, or even every week, the NCAA has to add/clarify a new rule. The college sports landscape as a whole is so fluid. I know we sound like a broken record at this point, but we're in uncharted waters, and the NCAA is dealing with a lot of unknowns.
