Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - It's Year 4 of Deion Sanders at CU. There HAVE to be expectations that go beyond selling merch and getting clicks. They have to WIN ballgames and make a run at a Big 12 title. Period. Enough is enough.

15:25 - Brett was surprised by 2 groups of fans this weekend: Australian soccer fans beefing with Americans on Twitter (hold this L, Australia), and Golf fans who actively booed/rooted against Wyndham Clark at the US Open. That was pretty unusual for a golf crowd.

31:47 - The NBA Draft is tomorrow. Will the Nuggets partake in any trade trickery?
After that, let's run through some of the big NHL/NBA headlines from the weekend.

0:00 - The NBA Draft is tomorrow. Vic says it will be a very important day for the Nuggets. What they do, or don't do, will speak volumes about their offseason plans/overall vision for the team.

15:57 - Vic has a dog-related incident yesterday and he PROMISED the Queen of Chicken he wouldn't talk about it on air today. And, yet...here he is bringing it up. How did Vic clash with a good boi yesterday?
Shams is reporting now that Giannis WILL be traded before the NBA Draft tomorrow. Where will he end up?

29:49 - Oh, by the way...the Amateurs did well at the US Open! That's a TOUGH course there at Shinnecock. If Vic, Moser, and Brett golfed in a scramble and you only took their best scores, how low could they score on that course?
Oh, by the way...Cape Verde played to another draw in the World Cup. The little engine that could is still rolling, baby!
Oh, by the way...Sean Keeler wrote an article about the history of CU football. It existed before Deion, and it'll exist after he leaves. And, oh by the way, who did Keeler interview for this article? Darian Hagan, the starting QB for CU's only national championship team

0:00 - USA beat Australia in the World Cup over the weekend, and the reaction online from Australians was...something. Are we beefin' with the land down under now? 
Denver's finest and Friend of the Program Wyndham Clark won the US Open in front of a HOSTILE crowd at Shinnecock. Brett didn't realize there was so much hate for Clark! Good on him for persevering and winning his 2nd US Open. 

(The song I used in the show open was "The Sound of Silence." Hello darkness, my old friend. Today marks the beginning of the end.)

16:46 - Vic suffered golf embarrassment of the highest order over the weekend. And maybe...just maybe...we should give more grace to athletes who choke in big moments.

34:06 - Mike Sanford NAILED his Rockies 30 wins prediction. He predicted it DOWN TO THE DAY. Unreal. They won their 30th game on Saturday against the Pirates and MAN that was a strange finish.

0:00 - Jeff Legwold just published an article about how the Broncos successfully navigated the dead money from Russell Wilson's contract. They made the AFC Championship game while paying Russ $85 million not to play football. How did they pull off the impossible? Did they change the future of the NFL? Will other teams try to copy Denver's formula when it comes to dead cap hits? Leggy joined us this morning and broke down all the findings in his article. 

19:35 - Back in March, Coach and Raj placed bets on when the Rockies would reach the 30 win mark. Coach Sanford predicted June 20th. Today is June 18th and the Rockies have 28 wins. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in town starting tomorrow. Can they win their next 2 games and fulfull the Sanford prophecy down to the exact day??
After that, the New York Knickerbockers championship parade is underway, and they have celebrities on the parade floats/busses/whatever you wanna call them. Really? Ben Stiller and Timothee Chalamet are IN THE PARADE?? They're not on the team! What are we doing here??

30:19 - We're off tomorrow, which means it's time for our favorite part of the week (a little early) DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered.

0:00 - CBS Sports published an article with the best and worst case scenarios for every NFL team this season. What did they write for the Broncos?

12:53 - In the World Cup, we love seeing these tiny countries go toe-to-toe with soccer behemoths. Yesterday, DR Congo played to a 1-1 draw with PORTUGAL who has a played named, let me check my notes here, CHRISTIAN RONALDO. That's amazing. Just like Cape Verde holding Spain scoreless in a 0-0 draw. We always root for a chaotic underdog.
Next, OKC is hoping to move into the Top 10 of the NBA draft next week. They certainly have extra picks they can package in a trade. Sam Presti has built the team by drafting young studs and developing them, which keeps the team cheap and under the aprons/caps/taxes, etc. Hmmmm...that kinda sounds like...what Calvin Booth wanted to do...

32:46 - Oh, by the way...Rory is currently in the lead at the US Open. And Brett's still not a Rory guy.
Oh, by the way...a French tennis player dropped 7 F-bombs in about 20 seconds during a postgame interview. That's gotta be some sort of a record, right?
Oh, by the way...some Japanese World Cup fans perfectly summed up Texas with two succinct sentences.

0:00 - Jeff Legwold wrote an article detailing the entire Russell Wilson dead cap saga. The Broncos paid him $85 million dollars not play play football for 2 years, and made it back to the AFC Champopnship game. They changed the way NFL franchises view/handle dead money.

15:01 - Knicks Owner James Dolan recently spoke about the issues he'll have navigating the NBA CBA rules regarding salary cap going forward. Yet again, another defending champion is finding it impossible to "run it back." 8 different teams have won the NBA championship in the last 8 years. We haven't had a repeat champion since the Warriors in '17 and '18. Like it or hate it, the CBA has give the NBA ultimate parity. 

33:22 - The Vegas Golden Knights had their end of season press conference yesterday, and their GM Kelly McCrimmon went on the attack! He's HAD IT with people only attributing their success to the favorable expansion draft. And Moser's HAD IT with Kelly McCrimmon.

0:00 - Broncos Mandatory Mini-camp is underway, and all eyes are on Bo Nix...'s ankle. Yesterday, he spoke to the media and explained the whole AnkleGate saga, including his clean-up procedure and recovery process/timeline.

17:23 - If LeBron decides to leave LA (which he probably won't), the Golden State Warriors want him. Really? That team isn't old enough already?
After that, we heard Kreckman and Lindahl the other day. Andy was freaking out about Jarrett Stidham and said he can no longer be the backup QB of this team. He blew his audition in the AFC Championship game. Does that REALLY matter? Does your backup QB really matter THAT much?

35:56 - The US Open begins tomorrow at Shinnecock. If you put the average person on that golf course, what would they score? Could any of us shoot less than 100? 150?

0:00 - Summer means one thing: rankings and lists. And ranking lists. Lists of rankings! The Ringer ranked the Top 100 NBA players now that the season's in the books. We know Jokic is on the list. Where does he rank. How many Nuggets cracked the Top 100?

14:46 - Ross Colton is headed to Nashville! Chris MacFarland's first move as the Predators GM involves his old team. How much more tinkering with the Avs rosters can we expect this summer? How much does it need?

29:36 - Oh, by the way...these World Cup water breaks/hydration breaks are just commercial breaks. We're trying to disguise them, but that's all they are. Have you see how much it costs to buy hydration break commercial air time? We're talking Super Bowl commerical prices here.
Oh, by the way...Luka Doncic helped Jaxson Hayes get Slovenian citizenship. Hayes can now play with Doncic on Team Slovenia in international games. That...kinda feels like we're coloring outside the lines a bit here, doesn't it?
Oh, by the way...a French World Cup fan has fallen in love with Buc-ee's. He tried to be a snob and avoid it, but he got sucked in. He posted a video online detailing his experience and it's fantastic.

0:00 - Chris MacFarland got to Nashville, set up his desk, connected to the Wi-Fi, then immediately called his old team to make a deal. Ross Colton is headed to the Predators. The Avs got some draft picks and a goalie in return. Sakic is back to his wheelin' and dealin' ways. What's the game plan here? What's his next move?

17:13 - Broncos Mandatory Mini-Camp is underway and everyone is focused on one thing and one thing only: BO NIX'S ANKLES, BABY. LFG. What did Bo himself have to say about his ankles yesterday?

33:36 - Zlatan has been fantastic on TV during the World Cup. He's been going full Zlatan. He was asked to rank his Top 10 players in the World Cup now, and his #1 shouldn't surprise you at all.
After that, the Rockies won last night! We totally thought they were gonna blow it and then they didn't. It's still early his in his career, but MAN, that Cole Carrigg is looking legit.

0:00 - Amidst all the legal proceedings and trials and injunctions and complaints and teams refusing to play Texas Tech in any sport ever and condemnations from the Big 12 commissioner, Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech have parted ways. Sorsby will enter the NFL's supplemental draft. He will not play another down of college football. What a WILD turn of events. Kaner said this whole debacle wouldn't have happened the same way if Sorsby played at a bigger football school. If he was the QB at Alabama, Georgia, or Ohio State, would teams still refuse to play them?

17:06 - Let's read the tea leaves here...according to Brett, it seems like Sean Payton is planning to move on from Marvin Mims sooner rather than later. He's putting all the pieces in place.

31:45 - Just when you thought ticket prices couldn't get more out of whack, have you SEEN the World Cup ticket prices?? Move on over, NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. There's a new sheriff in town.
