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 round. We're putting drops in groups of 4 and skipping straight to the Elite 8. Yesterday, we knocked out the Vic & Moser Regions. Today, the Brett & Nelly Regions will be put to the test.

15:40 - The Sweet Sixteen (Part 1) did not disappoint last night! Well, Arkansas vs Arizona was a bit disappointing. Not much of a game there. Nebraska vs. Iowa got weird at the end. Close game, clock's winding down...and Nebraska had only 4 players on court coming out of a time out! What? How did that happen?
After that, the NBA proposed 3 new anti-tanking policies that will be formally voted on in May. Again, they're vastly overcomplicating things and not addressing the root of the problem. 

32:24 - A new season begins for the Rockies today. Hope springs eternal. We all make fun of Brett for his so-called Rockies optimisim, but let's be real here. In all seriousness...what does Brett want to see from the Rockies this year? What are our honest expectations?

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.
Today, we worked our way through both the Vic & Moser regions. Which 4 drops will advance?

0:00 - The NFL Draft is a month away...can you feel it? How much progress has Jeff Legwold made on his Draft Bible? His Top 100 players list? 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 in Denver...
After that, what are the keys to a rare regular season Avs win in Winnipeg?

33:38 - It came down to the wire...but we finally have our 4 winners who survived the Round of 32 Group Stage. Which drops from the Vic and Moser regions are advancing to the Elite 8?

0:00 - What was the more impressive accomplishment last night: Jamal Murray's 53-point performance, or Jokic's (almost) 20-20-20 night?

14:46 - A college basketball coach got fired a few years ago because he severely violated NCAA recruiting rules. 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. Oh, by the way...we found the most Italian New Yorker on the planet. Oh, by the way...there's a zoo in North Korea with a smoking money, and a monkey that dunks a basketball.

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 OF 32! Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues with our first group stage/knockout round. We're putting drops in groups of 4 and skipping straight to the Elite 8. Today, we're tacking both the Vic & Moser regions.

15:05 - The Avalanche always fall flat on their face in Winnipeg. Why is that? What will it take to get over the Winnipeg Hump? And it IS their hump.

32:54 - The MLB season is officially underway! The Yankees trounced the Giants in SF last night...on Netflix? What did we think of Netflix's inaugural baseball broadcast?

0:00 - The Avs are getting guys back, and they're finally returning to their usual-ish lineups. They're still missing Kiviranta, but the line combos are starting to look more "normal" again. 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 specialist who makes a name for himself exclusively on special teams?

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 fancy? More importantly, is there anything Vic would dare to eat?

31:12 - Oh, by the way...The NBA has officially approved a vote to add expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. Oh, by the way...the guy who Alan "Thad Castle/Jack Reacher" Ritchson beat up shared his side of the story, and his voice makes it hard for us to take him seriously. Oh, by the way...Brett called it. UNC fired Hubert Davis. We're not saying it was because of his weird postgame presser, but we're not saying it WASN'T because of that weird presser.

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 inconvenient travel. It's not good for the game.

13:54 - Every since the Olympics, Marty Nachos has been electric. He had himself a NIGHT last night. Even though the Avalanche obliterated the Penguins in Pittsburgh, they were still a bit wishy-washy overall. Coach Bednar said it himself after the game. Scott Wedgewood was the best Av on the ice last night. 

24:14 - Because of their travel schedule, Coach Bednar joined us a little early this morning. Last night, Bedsie said he thought his team played sloppy overall and that Wedgewood bailed them out time and time again. Wedgie was the best player on the ice for Colorado. Does he still feel that way this morning? How great is it to have guys re-entering the lineup? The line combos are starting to look more "normal" again, if you will.

0:00 - Denver Nuggets Head Coach Adelman spoke with PHD yesterday. 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 Staub transferred to Tennessee and in getting settled in at his new school. He made a comment the other day about how he's received more coaching in his 3 weeks with Tennessee than he got in 3 years at CU. Is that him taking a shot at Deion? Or is he just pumping up the Vols fans a bit?

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 way...lots of former Broncos QBs are still in the NFL. Oh, by the way...Alan Ritchson (aka Thad Castle and Jack Reacher) pulled a Nick Tarnasky and went full BANG BANG BANG on one of his neighbors. Oh, by the way...a quadruple amputee professional cornhole player was arrested for shooting a guy. Yep, you read that right.
