Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - The Broncos fired their offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi...okay? What was he even doing? I thought the offense was Sean Payton's baby. Also, Sean has worked with Joe for like 15 straight seasons. Why fire him now after the Broncos reached the AFC Championship game? Strange situation all around.

17:08 - For the past couple years, Von Miller has said he wants to return to Denver and play in this iron-clad Broncos defense. Should they welcome him back? Would the Vonster be a good addition?

34:09 - Greg Penner addressed the media yesterday, and multiple times, he said he doesn't involve himself in the finer points of roster decisions. He leaves that to his Coach and GM, and mostly acts as a moderator during tough discussions. Compare that to guys like Jerry Jones and Terry Pagula who can't keep their ancient mouths shut. We're so lucky to have such elite ownership here in Denver.
Also, Tyrann Mathieu went to extreme lengths to cleanse himself before taking a drug test in college, and he almost poisoned himself.

0:00 - Last night, the Avalanche looked awful in Ottawa. They couldn't get anything going. Brett says it's because these boys need the Olympic Break in the worst way. They're getting tired of the slog of the season. They desperately need the time off, then they'll come back stronger. 

17:20 - Yesterday, Bo Nix called his own press conference to clarify some of the comments Sean Payton said about his ankle and surgery. Bo didn't think he got some of the particulars correct. This is weird, right? A QB holding his own presser to refuse something his coach said?

34:49 - The Return of MPJ. He'll be back in Denver for the first time as a member of the Brooklyn Nets. He'll be welcomed back with open arms, as he should. Despite all the ups and downs, MPJ always gave it his all.

0:00 - Could the Broncos take an unconventional approach to fixing the run game? Maybe a method that involves Nelly?

18:07 - I think we started talking about Nuggets basketball...then the conversation devolved into a debate about who's taller: Vic or Mose?

32:57 - Andy Lindahl didn't appreciate some accusations that Vic made about him and Nate, so he HAD to call the show and respond. He just had to. XXXL couldn't help himself.

0:00 - Sam Malinski just inked a 4-year extension with the Avalanche. Head Coach Jared Bednar had nothing but good things to say about Malinski and his journey this morning when he joined us for his weekly appearance. 

16:57 - Last night, Jamal Murray was open and honest in his postgame press conference. He owned up to his critical mistakes in Denver's loss to the Pistons. That's a sign of growth from Jamal. In years past, he was snippy and dismissive with the media.
Also, yesterday we learned that Bill Belichick will NOT be a First Ballot Hall of Famer. He'll have to wait at least a year. Seriously? We KNOW he's gonna make it in, but some people want to make him wait in order to send a message?

32:10 - Turns out, the surgeon who looked at Bo Nix's ankle said a fracture was a matter of "if" not "when." Is this something we need to worry about?

0:00 - The Nuggets had a chance to win, but fell short of beating the Pistons last night at Ball Arena. It is what is it. Chalk it up to the travel debacle where they couldn't get out of Memphis. They sat on the tarmac for ages, and made it back to Denver less than 24 hours until tip. It is what it is. But, one positive takeaway: Jamal Murray was very open and honest in his postgame presser. He actually took responsibility for his mistakes instead of being flippant and dismissive with the media. 

15:02 - The Law Firm of Payton and Paton addressed the media to wrap up the season. Even though they reached the AFC Championship, this team needs to make some adjustments in the offseason. Both Payton and Paton understand that.

34:05 - Right now, the Broncos have Bo Nix dirt cheap on his rookie contract. They HAVE to capitalize on this window. How will Sean and George maximize their opportunities before they have to pay Bo?

0:00 - Broncos Linebacker Jonathan Cooper said something yesterday that makes us think maybe...just MAYBE...Vance Joseph is staying with the Broncos.
Also, Moser is IN OTTAWA at the practice rink WATCHING THE AVALANCHE SKATE, and yet he didn't break any news. We had to get the news from Pierre LeBrun on Twitter.

13:22 - Nate & Andy did what they did best: dug up some numbers and analytics to justify Sean Payton going for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the FG. That's cool, nerds. Nice numbers. They don't tell the full story, though. Still should've kicked the FG. No numbers will change that.
Somehow, it turned into a discussion of pets and when they should be put down. 

31:40 - The Buffalo Bills have a new head coach! JK Dobbins raves about the Broncos ownership. How cool is Sam Darnold's comeback story? Let's hit a whole smorgasbord of NFL Tidbits.

0:00 - Yesterday, Mike Florio published an article about the AFC Championship saying that the snow made it unwatchable. He suggested that the championship games should be played at a neutral site with good weather, like the Super Bowl, to ensure a watchable product. 
Vic agrees with the snow part of it. That's not "football weather." It completely ruined the ending of the game. 

12:46 - DMac went BACK to the same NESN (Boston TV) show that he was on last week, so he could face the music. Good for him, but MAN he let that host tear him a new one. Stick up for yourself, Darren!

29:29 - Shedeur Sanders was officially named to the Pro Bowl. Look, no disrespect to Shedeur. We're all rooting for him to find success in the NFL. But a Pro Bowler? Nah man.
Also, they Nuggets FINALLY made it back to Denver and will play the Pistons tonight at Ball Arena. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory?

0:00 - Yesterday, Broncos players cleaned out their lockers at addressed the media one last time on their way out the door (until they return to the new facility for training camp). How do the players feel about the state of their team right now?

16:28 - Did Sean Payton make a questionable decision or two in the AFC Championship game? Absolutely. We'll be wrestling with that 4th and 1 decision until we're dead in the ground. But let's not let that cloud our judgment of what Sean Payton has done for this organization in 3 short years.

34:27 - The Nuggets we're walking in Memphis...because there was too much snow and they couldn't do anything. Their plane was stranded on the ground for hours yesterday. Katy Winge chronicled the whole saga on social media. FINALLY, they got home safe last night.

0:00 - NFL Insider and ESPN's own Adam Schefter hops on the show to talk the AFC Championship game. Everyone is sad, but Schefter hits the boys with a glass half full perspective about the Broncos despite losing 10-7.

15:00 - Vic, Mose, and Kane continue their debrief of the AFC Championship Game, it was a game of inches so it begs the question: What was the most impactful play of the game? Was it going for it on fourth down? The fumble? We got options here.

32:54 - The 2025 Broncos were comeback artists...but will that be enough for 2026? Vic, Mose, and Kane discuss how the Broncos could juice their roster, add some weapons, and not have to play from behind so often next season.

Adam Schefter joins the show to talk that AFC Championship Game, the Broncos ground game, and have a little history lesson about Broncos playoff exploits.
