Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - Well that was an odd Avs game. They blew it early, battled all the way back, then blew it again. At home. Against the worst team in the NHL. Are there any actual takeaways from that game? Did we learn anything?

15:22 - The Nuggets finally did what they were supposed to do. They beat a bad team! Sure they had a bad stretch where Utah kept it close. But at no point did Brett think they were in danger of losing. But...ANOTHER INJURY. P-Wat left the game. My goodness gracious, can we catch a break here?

32:11 - The Las Vegas Raiders signed Kirk Cousins. They're also very clearly going to draft Fernando Mendoza 1st overall in the draft. So what's the plan here? Is Cousins willing to accept a backup role and serve as a mentor to Mendoza? Or should Cousins be the starter and give Mendoza some time to develop before he's thrust into a starting role?

0:00 - Cale Makar's injury isn't too bad. He'll rest for the remainder of the regular season then return for playoffs. He's probably play through this injury if we were in the playoffs right now. It's WILD the amount of injuries that NHL guys play through when Lord Stanley is on the line.
After that, the NFL approved some rule changes for the upcoming season. A bunch of them have to do with kickoffs. Cool! Who cares, man? Every year the NFL tinkers with kickoffs and no one cares. 

16:55 - Brian Windhorst explained why LeBron James should take his talents to the Mile High City. If his time with the Lakers is done, would you take him here? 

32:58 - Dan Hurley went on a podcast and explained the face-to-face incident he had with a Ref after UConn beat Duke in the Elite 8. And if he's telling the truth, his answer makes it even worse.

0:00 - How's Cale Makar doing? How severe is his injury? Let's get an answer directly from Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar.

19:50 - As we learned at the end of last segment, Brett Kane can't read. So he starts hookin with all of us and trying to take us down with him.
After that, the Nuggets are playing the Jazz tonight. You need to KILL them. This game had better not come down to the wire. It's playoffs time. The Jazz suck. Prove to us you're real and beat a bad team easily.

32:59 - The boys called for an early Keys, so let's get to it! It's another Double Dip-a-Roo tonight. How do we parlay that into a double WIN-a-Roo for the Avs and Nugs?
After that...Oh, by the way...We got another goalie fight last night! Oh, by the way...all 10 players on the ice on Montreal @ Tampa Bay received 2-minute penalties at the same time. The ref had to write everything down on a note card so he didn't mess it up. Oh, by the way...Team Italy's Espresso Maker from the WBC sold for $16,500 at an auction. Italy, known baseball country.

0:00 - Team Italy lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in soccer yesterday, meaning they will miss the World Cup again. Vic's life is officially over. Throw in the towel. Stop making pizza. No more Armani. No Ferrari. Italy has to focus only on soccer until they get this fixed.

14:28 - Sean Payton spoke to the media at the NFL Owners Meetings yesterday. He's not a fan of the terminology "Free Agency Frenzy" or "running it back." 

32:23 - UConn fans are STILL cooking Brett Kane left, right, and center on Twitter for his Anti-Dan Hurley take. INCLUDING a recognizable actor. Brett's catching strays (or directs) from Hollywood.

0:00 - Brett Kane tweeted about Dan Hurley getting up in that ref's face and said it should've been a technical. It's ridiculous it wasn't called, and he doesn't understand people defending Hurley. Well, the UConn Storm Troopers found the tweet and they're really giving Brett the digital business. Oof.

12:59 - Italy is playing Bosnia and Herzegovina is soccer today. Whoever wins qualifies for the World Cup. Loser goes home. It's all on the line for Vic's squad. He invited Moser to watch the game at the Lombardi Lair today on one condition: Moser brings pizza for everyone.
After that, what happens if Cale Makar misses a few weeks with his upper body injury? Which teams can the Avs defeat in the playoffs without Makar in the lineup? Who do you want to see in the first round?

31:21 - Sometimes, we end up rooting for the bad guys in a movie or TV show. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes the villains win us over. What are some notable examples?

0:00 - The Avalanche doused the Calgary Flames 9-2 last night at Ball Arena and scored multiple power play goals! Plural! It was almost a perfect night, except for one thing. Cale Makar left the game and didn't return because of an "upper body injury." We haven't received any updates yet. How concerned are we? How concerned did Coach Bednar sound in his postgame presser yesterday?

13:52 - The Lions signed Center Frank Ragnow out of retirement late last season, but he didn't play a snap for them because he didn't pass his physical. He had a Grade 3 hamstring strain! Turns out, he had to pay back part of his signing bonus. The Lions claim that they've made other players do this before, like Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, so the precedent has been set. Really? Come on, Fords. You guys aren't low on cash. Let the man keep his money.
After that, George Paton spoke at the NFL Owners meeting yesterday and said he likes the RB room. Of course he's going to say that. But, we're not sure we like it as much as he does! There's still plenty of room for improvement.

31:47 - Oh, by the way...the referee who Dan Hurley (allegedly) headbutted was asked about the incident and said the whole "incident" was nothing. They looked at each other. That's it. Oh, by the way...NASA is going back to the moon soon and nobody here on Earth seems to care about it. Oh, by the way...The NFL expanded their "Global Markets Program" for the upcoming season. The New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns were given the market rights for Vic's Motherland.

0:00 - Man, the Avs took care of business yesterday! They SMASHED Calgary 9-2 at Ball Arena. That's what good teams are supposed to do to bad teams (take note, Nuggets). The only bummer was Cale Makar leaving the game with an "upper body injury." Hopefully it's precautionary and nothing more.

15:41 - George Paton and Greg Penner both addressed the media at the NFL Owners Meetings yesterday. They were asked about everything from Bo's ankle to JK Dobbins to Jaylen Waddle. How does the Broncos Braintrust feel about their roster?

34:04 - Radko Gudas of the Anaheim Ducks laid a dirty hit on Auston Matthews a few weeks ago and it ended his season. The Ducks played the Maple Leafs again last night, and Gudas played specifically so he could serve his pennance. Opening puck drop, Max Domi dropped the gloves and whooped Gudas left, right, and center. But it begs the question...why didn't anyone from Toronto fight Gudas THE NIGHT THAT HE HIT MATTHEWS? Why did no one defend their TEAM CAPTAIN?
Players have to stick up for their teammates. It's the same reason that Vic wants someone to lay a HARD hit on Lu Dort to set the precedent. You mess with the Jokic, you get the horns.

0:00 - The Nuggets are in the thick of a 6-game win streak. They've been playing some bad and/or injured teams, but 6 wins in a row is still 6 wins in a row. How good are the Nuggets right now? Are they a championship team finally?

14:50 - After UConn's thrilling buzzer-beater victory over Duke, Dan Hurley got up in a ref's face. He didn't yell or scream or anything. But he shot the ref a [blank]eating grin, and then went face to face with him! Damn near touched foreheads. Shouldn't that have been a technical? Why wasn't it called? That could've given the win back to Duke.

32:40 - Avs are back in action at Ball tonight hosting the Calgary Flames! What are the keys to an Avs victory? 
After that, Vic has trouble navigating the maze that is Home Depot. Don't we all?
Oh right, SPORTS! The NFL Owners meetings are underway. Robert Kraft fully supports an 18-game NFL schedule with a few stipulations. George Paton met with the media and praised his roster which remains mostly unchanged from last season.

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, Utah is actively trying to lose games. But don't take it from us. Take it from the best basketball player on Planet Earth. 

31:59 - Oh, by the way...Mile High Stadium was POPPIN for the inaugural Denver Summit FC home game. The game itself was a snoozer, but the vibes were immaculate. Oh, by the way...why does Jared Bednar never get any love for Coach of the Year? Oh, by the way...an airplane got stuck on the tarmac, and there just happened to be a high school choir on board. How long could you survive being trapped on a plane with a HS choir?

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 fell to the Jets on Saturday. Not sure what to make of that one. Another weird goalie interference penalty...the guys looked sluggish and Bedsie was shuffling the lines to get something/anything going...Whatever. On the bright side, Moser gave us another BUTTER MY BUTT for Parker Kelly's goal!
After that...Vegas fired their head coach out of nowhere and hired John Tortorella. That's quite the choice by VGK!
