Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - It's Black Monday aka one of Schefter's busiest days of the year. And yet, he still carved out a few minutes for us. What does Schefty think of the head coach firings so far? What are his thoughts on the NFL's playoff picture, which is finally set in stone?

14:22 - The Vegas Raiders locked up the #1 pick in the NFL draft then fired Pete Carroll. Are they going to draft Fernando Mendoza? 
Also, no rest for your Nuggets! They play again tonight in Philadelphia. What are the Keys to a Nuggets bounce-back victory? 

33:27 - The Broncos locked up the AFC's 1 seed and secured a first round bye. What are their plans for the bye week? How is it different from the regular in-season bye week?

0:00 - Are you satisfied with yesterday's Broncos win? A win is a win AND they secured the AFC's 1 seed. Or did you want to see more from the offense? Do style points matter?

20:33 - Let's take a look AROUND THE NFL! The last weekend of the regular season never disappoints, especially the Sunday Night affair between the Ravens and the Steelers.

38:06 - Which Broncos players were in the groove yesterday? Was anyone on the offensive side of the ball in the groove?
Also, has Moser gotten an update on Landy's injury yet? Why are NHL teams so vague with "upper body" or "lower body," etc? Why don't they ever explain what's actually going on?

0:00 - It's officially official. Your Denver Broncos are the AFC 1 seed. They have a first round bye, and the road to the Super Bowl runs through Denver, Colorado. 
Stop me if you've heard this before...the defense was stellar yesterday, but the offense looked a bit anemic. Did you want to see more from the offense against the SuperChargers JV squad? Do style points matter? Or do you not care about any of that because A WIN IS A WIN IS A WIN and the 1 seed is locked up, baby!

22:37 - The Avs lost their 3rd regulation game of the season, but that wasn't the worst part. Gabe Landeskog went crashing into the net, then left the game with an injury. THANKFULLY, it doesn't look like another knee injury.

34:22 - Aaron Gordon and Christan Braun returned to the Nuggets lineup yesterday, and they lost to a 10-win Brooklyn Nets squad. In the postgame, Coach Adelman was less than pleased with the effort, to say the least.

0:00 - The Nuggets are running out of healthy guys to put on a basketball court. Their supply is dwindling. It's time to start utilizing DaRon Holmes. Brett is concerned they'll use him in the wrong position like Malone did with Zeke Nnaji for years. But Vic says...what choice to they have?

12:01 - Broncos vs Chargers is a playoff game. Period. No two ways about it. If the Broncos win, they advance to the divisional round. That's essentially a playoff win. It doesn't matter how many players the Chargers are resting. Denver NEEDS to think of this as a playoff game. 

30:35 - It's our favorite part of the week 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 - We were treated to a delicious slate of CFP games on New Year's Eve/New Year's Day. What did we learn from those games?

19:44 - What does Chad Brown think about the CFP so far and the overall state of college football? Does he agree with Brett and Vic that Bama, and the SEC overall, are frauds who are propped up by years of previous success?

39:50 - The Nuggets are running out of warm bodies to put on a basketball court. So, that being said...what are they Keys to a Nuggets victory tonight?

0:00 - Georgia is out of the CFP. Ohio State got bounced. Bama got DEESTROYED by Indiana. What an insane 2 days of college football. So much for the mighty SEC. Maybe it doesn't actually mean more after all.

16:39 - The Nuggets hadn't suffered enough injuries, so let's pile on another! Jonas Valanciunas tweaked his calf on NYE, and he'll be re-evaluated in 4 weeks. Sheesh. 60% of Denver's salary cap is now out of the lineup.

34:58 - The Avalanche scored 4 goals vs the Blues...BEFORE THE FIRST TV TIMEOUT OF THE GAME. That was a truly dominant performance on New Year's Eve at Ball Arena. And the best part? They did it against Jordan Water Bottle Binnington. Happy New Year!

0:00 - Moser's having trouble getting excited for Broncos vs the JV Chargers squad. By all accounts, the Broncos should SMASH them. If they do, it's what's expected. If they don't, we'll be disappointed. If they lose...I don't even wanna go there. So how can we get PUMPED FOR THIS GAME??

19:11 - Every 2 years, Moser looks at the full slate of events in the upcoming Olympics and deems which ones are worthy and which ones aren't. Spoiler alert: most of them aren't. Let's dig up some memorable Olympic rants from the past.
Next, both the Avs are Nuggets are playing tonight! This calls for a double diparoo Keys to the Game. 

34:00 - As the CFP continues tonight and tomorrow, what are we expecting to see? What do we hope to see? Did the committee "get it right" with the teams they selected? Also, if a team loses and makes an early exit, do you think they shouldn't have been there in the first place? Do you follow that school of thought?

0:00 - One final Avs game in 2025! How's Jared Bednar feeling about his squad? On Monday in his postgame interview, he said he was concerned about the Power Play. Why? Can we expect to see Logan O'Connor any time soon? And most importantly, which member of the morning show would Bednar NOT want to see his daughter date? 

20:53 - Against all odds, Vic is embarking on an impossible mission. He's determined to reach his goal, even if his body isn't built for the task. 

34:29 - RIP MTV 3 even though it hasn't had any M for like 20 years at this point. We'll miss seeing 24 straight hours of Ridiculousness. (btw the "Real" MTV song Moser had me to play was "Lay It Down.")
After that, how much will you judge David Adelman based on the non-Jokic games over the next month?

0:00 - Alright folks, let's be honest. What are REASONABLE expectations for the Nuggets without Jokic? Remember, he'll be out for at least 4 weeks, and the Nuggets are missing 3 other starters. So REALISTICALLY what should we expect to see while Jokic is out?

20:45 - What are your expectations for the Broncos in the playoffs? Do they need to make the AFC Championship game? The Super Bowl? Would you be satisfied if they secure the AFC 1 seed, earn a bye week, then lose in the divisional round? Where's the bar?

35:38 - We're looking forward to all the CFP games coming up, but for the wrong reasons. Is there anything better than hate-watching college football? Most of the hatred comes from the selection process. Somehow, there's still no consistency in how the teams are chosen.

0:00 - We can speculate all we want about how good or bad Jokic's injury is. But none of it matters until we get the MRI results back. The rumors are just that: rumors.

14:43 - FINALLY! MRI confirmed no structural damage to Jokic's left knee. It was a hyperextension injury. He'll be re-evaluated in 4 weeks. That doesn't mean he'll be back in 4 weeks. He'll be re-evaluated. So the Nuggets will be without him for at least a month, maybe more. Still, that's really good news considering how bad his injury looked yesterday.

31:45 - 4 weeks minimum without Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets will need to adapt and re-invent themselves. David Adelman, time to earn your stripes as a coach. Show us how deep the playbook goes.
