Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - Jokic is nursing about 1,000 injuries right now. And despite that, he played 50 minutes in a 2OT game and dropped a 60 pt triple double. How will this banged up Nuggets roster fare in the playoffs?

14:52 - Yesterday, Chris Dempsey and Vic got into it on Twitter (briefly) regarding Coach Sanford's statement about Carmelo Anthony being the Nuggets first nationally known superstar. Phew! Lots to unpack there. Anyway, we had Dempsey on air today so he and Vic could end this debate once and for all.

33:59 - Tyler Polumbus joined us live from CU's Pro Day where people think he's an NFL Scout and not just another radio host.

0:00 - We were worried their weird travel schedule might make the Avs sluggish vs. Columbus last night. The lie detector determined...that was a lie.

16:47 - CSU Football's finest Trey McBride got PAID last night. Great to see a local boy secure the bag! Well deserved.

35:39 - The Nuggets aren't locked into a playoff seed yet. They can still fall even farther if they lose. It might all come down tonight's game vs the Warriors.

We're getting close to the finish line! The 8 drops that survived the brutal Group Stage knockout round now have a chance to advance to the Final Four! Who will move on? Who will inch closer to the 2025 Drop Tournament mountain top?

0:00 - The NFL Draft is about 3 weeks away now! Has Jeff Legwold solidified his Top 100 list yet? Can Brett convince him to spill some inside information before the list is published? Let's ask Leggy himself and see what happens.

20:22 - Carmelo Anthony is now a member of the Basketball HOF! Yesterday on the Morning Sprint, Coach Sanford spoke about Melo's impact on the trajectory of the Nuggets franchise. Today, Vic had to react to Coach's comments.

33:43 - The Final 4 is set in our annual Drop Tournament! Which drops survived the Elite 8? Also, let's get a fact checker and learn about a fictional Broncos player and how Christmas works (which is different from Thanksgiving).

0:00 - The Avalanche couldn't leave Chicago last night after the game because of weather. They're flying to Columbus today, then have to play again tonight. A late night game that went all the way to a shootout, then a flight and a game the next day. Yikes. Can they pull of a win tonight?

14:18 - If Brett was an NFL GM, he'd always draft a QB in the late rounds because why not? You've got nothing to lose but a 6th round pick and everything to gain.

32:40 - First Take had one of the Morris Brothers as a guest, and he spouted off some falsehoods about Jokic and the NBA. We're not surprised. Jokic snatched Markeiff's soul years ago.

0:00 - The Avalanche played with their food yesterday but thankfully they forced OT and won in the shootout. This team is on autopilot and can't wait for the playoffs. 

15:38 - What do you want from Westbrook? In back-to-back games, he missed bunny layups and cost his team a win. Brett says it's a symptom of Westbrook's role, which isn't one that suits him.

33:54 - Erik Johnson chatted with the TNT crew yesterday and gave us a good update on Landeskog's progress.

0:00 - Vic didn't sleep last night. He tossed and turned after the awful Nuggets loss. Our whole show was under a black cloud today because of the Nugs collapse. As grown men, how do we let sports affect us so much?

13:48 - Nuggets play again tonight. Who can we expect to see out there on the 2nd night of a back-to-back against a bad Spurs team? ESPECIALLY after some of these guys played 50 minutes in the 2OT game yesterday. 

31:34 - In the streaming era, it's becoming harder and harder to find the damn games on TV with each passing year.

0:00 - Are the Avalanche players watching the standings and losing focus because of it? Does the team need to tinker with any lineup combos before the playoffs? Head Coach Jared Bednar joined us this morning to answer all our burning questions.

21:20 - The Nuggets had a golden opporunity to win in 2OT last night and they blew it. It's like they were given a...well, I'll let Vic explain it. 

34:27 - RIP Val Kilmer. What an incredible acting career. Also, Brett's been off the show for a few days and he has some pent up Rockies takes.

0:00 - The Nuggets completely and totally blew it last night AND wasted a historic Jokic performance in the process. AND they lost to the Timberwolves at home again. This sucks.

15:27 - We take Jokic for granted. We really do. Can you imagine what this Nuggets team would be without him?

35:29 - Of all the NFL rule changes the owners approved at their annual meeting, which one will affect the league most significantly?

0:00 - It feels like the Avalanche are stuck in purgatory. Whether they win or lose, they're locked into a first round playoff series vs the Stars where Dallas has home ice advantage. Should the players care about these last few games? How do you manufacture caring?

14:53 - If the Nuggets have an early playoff exit again this year (however you want to define "early"), some changes will be made this offseason. It has to happen. What should be the scope of those changes? Vic says there's a fine line between improving and panicing when it comes to wholesale changes.

33:12 - The NFL will now play 3 games on Christmas this year: 2 on Netflix, 1 on Amazon Prime. They're chasing the NBA's chokehold on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, the entire NHL pauses for a few days around the holiday. How do we feel about playing all these games on Christmas?
