0:00 - The Nuggets beat the Grizzlies G-League roster last night...BUT...they were down at halftime! It took them ages to start rolling! They didn't seal the victory until the 4th quarter. Do we care? Should we be concerned because the Nuggets didn't smash their faces from the opening tip?

15:20 - Hey, look at that! The Rockies swept the Astros! And NOW they're 6-6! The're playing .500 baseball! Plus, they started the season 0-3. It's only 12 games, but come on now. These Rox are looking legit. 

33:25 - The NBA recently developed some ideas to stop tanking, and the NBA Board of Governors will vote on them next month. For the 10,000th time, these ideas they keep developing AREN'T GOING TO WORK! How many times do we have to say it?

0:00 - The Masters starts tomorrow which means...Vic, Moser, and Brett are going to be absolute luggage tomorrow. They won't participate in their own show at all. Get ready, folks.
After that, the Nuggets are playing a G-League version of the Grizzlies. They're resting everyone. It's insanity. Tonight is a MUST WIN for the Nuggets. Period. What are the keys to a victory?

14:52 - Vic did his Civic Duty today. Good for him! Somebody get him a gold star. Let's get a live update from the man himself. Is he still at the courthouse? Was he cut loose? Is he answering Uncle Sam's call? 

32:12 - We have a whole slew of final thoughts, soundbites, you name it to get out of our system before the show wraps up. After that, let's get to a Fact Checker. How many minutes are in the 1st half of an NBA game?

0:00 - The Avalanche took care of business last night and locked up the Central's top spot! Nazem Kadri got hurt, but Coach Bednar made it seem like it's not serious. Scott Wedgewood also got banged up from a collision in the net, but he's fine. Postgame, he told Moser and Ryker that he got the wind knocked out of him. That's all.
Have you ever have the wind knocked out of you? That's probably happened to everyone at some point, right? No matter how many times it happens, you never get used to that feeling.

13:42 - Oh, by the way...we got an ACTUAL brawl in an MLB game yesterday. Like, REAL punches, tackles, you name it. Oh, by the way...Michael Malone addressed the media yesterday for the first time as the head coach of North Carolina hoops.

28:16 - Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar joined us this morning! We let him sleep in a little bit, but he still had to wake up and talk to us, unfortunately. Does Coach have an update on Kadri? Does he plan on resting any of his big guns in these last few games before the playoffs? What's on Coach's mind this morning?

0:00 - THE CENTRAL DIVISION CROWN IS COMIN BACK TO COLORADO! Way to go Avs! They haven't locked up the President's Trophy yet, but the Central is theirs. Kadri got dinged up in last night's game, as did Scott Wedgewood. What did Coach Bednar have to say about it after the game? 

14:48 - You hear it here first, folks. The Rockies are actually fun to watch this year! Make of that what you will. Paul DePodesta, President of Baseball Operations for the Rockies, chatted with PHD yesterday. And he's saying things that Brett's wanted to hear for YEARS from someone in the Front Office. He's shifting the mindset and attitude of the team.
The Avalanche can't face the Wild or the Stars in the first round because those 2 teams will face each other. So, who DO we want to see the Avs face?

32:12 - Tonight is a MUST WIN game for the Nuggets for a couple reasons. First of all, the Nuggets snatched the 3 seed from the Lakers, since LA is struggling wihtout Luka and Austin Reaves right now. Second of all, the Memphis Grizzlies are resting EVERYONE today. They'll barely bring a roster of warm bodies to Ball Arena tonight. Losing to this G-League Grizzlies team tonight is inexcusable. Take care of business, strike while the iron's hot, and inch closer to stealing the 3 seed from the LakeShow for good.

0:00 - It hasn't been a pretty win streak to say the least. But the Nuggets have won 9 GAMES IN A ROW! Count em! For months, we've said we won't believe this Nuggets squad can win a title until they prove otherwise. Have they proven anything during this winning streak?

14:33 - What are the Keys to an Avalanche victory tonight in St. Louis with a chance to clinch the Central once and for all? 
After that, Vic doesn't care about the moon. At all. Artemish Shmartemis. Who cares? How does that affect life here on earth? It's some random rock out there in the sky. We gain nothing by traveling there.

32:08 - SERIOUSLY, Vic does NOT care about space travel! Back to sports...North Carolina hired Michael Malone to coach their basketball squad. We think this will be a great fit in the portal era. Malone always wanted rosters full of veterans that are ready to roll. That's what the portal brings! Open up the checkbook and let's ride.

0:00 - Guess what?? The Rockies don't suck! They're not winning a World Series this year but they're not incredibly horrible! That's a win. You'll take that every time. Aside from a couple bad innings here and there, they've been incrementally better this year. And that's all you can ask for.
After that, Avs PLEASE just win one more game. Beat the Blues tonight, then sit Makar, MacKinnon, Landy, Necas, etc until the playoffs. Bubble wrap your big dogs and get ready for Lord Stanley.

14:18 - Congrats to Michigan! They won the Natty yesterday and prevented Dan Hurley from cutting down a 3rd net. But something about the new NIL/Portal landscape of college sports in general is a mystery to Vic. Simply put...why do these big donors give a ton of money to the sports porgrams at all these schools? Ultimately, what's the point?

34:27 - Oh, by the way...there's an 81-year-old Dodgers fan. Season ticket holder for 50 years. Doesn't own a smartphone. Doesn't know technology. The Dodgers just announced they don't print physical tickets anymore. They're only digital. What's this guy supposed to do? Oh, by the way...the Las Vegas Aces did their best impression of Kawhi Leonard and his Tree Farm, and the WNBA is investigating. Oh, by the way...in 1919, a Yankees outfielder battled an Ostrich in an eating contest and won.

0:00 - They never should've been down by 18 points at home against the lowly Trailblazers in the first place BUT what a comeback by the Nuggets! Man that was awesome. They've now won 9 in a row. And yet...Brett still doesn't know how to make heads or tails of this team. It feels like the Broncos all over again. They're winning but is it sustainable? There's that good ol' sustainable word again.

14:57 - The Avs have lost to a few bad teams recently, but they're still in a good spot. They still win the games they need to win. Tonight is one of those. Go to St. Louis, get a W, wrap up the top spot in the Central, and cruise into the playoffs.
After that, Bill Kennedy is our favorite NBA ref now. He loves adding a lil mustard to his calls whenever he hops on the mic after a review.

32:30 - North Carolina just hired Michael Malone to be their next head basketball coach. That's an interesting move, to say the least. Malone absolutely could've and should've gotten another NBA coaching gig. He won a title. And yet, he ended up in college. That being said, he's the perfect coach for the portal era.

It's finally time to crown a champion in our 2026 Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament. Who will cut down the nets once and for all? Will it be Mary and her little clam? Or will it be Moser cheerleading like Bill Belichick's girlfriend?
And as is tradition, we need to look back on all 64 drops who competed for eternal glory in our One Shining Moment. Thanks for another successful tournament, everyone.
(Again, "One Shining Moment" is very copyrighted so you won't hear the music here. Apologies. But you'll still hear all 64 drops and our reactions to it all)

0:00 - Jokic's shot over Wemby to bury the Spurs was epic. SportsCenter Top 10-type shot. MVP-type shot. But what was also encouraging from that game was how the WHOLE team played. They got contributions from the entire roster, top to bottom. Whatever slump Cam Johnson was in is OVA. They're proving they can win all sorts of games in different ways.

14:53 - The Avs play differently in front of Wedgewood. They keep hanging Blackwood out to dry on the breakaway. Wedgie is absolutely Goalie #1 in the playoffs.
After that, the Nuggets are hosting the Blazers tonight. The Blazers are...not good. That #3 seed in the West is squarely in sight, now that BOTH Luka and Austin Reaves are injured. Tonight's game is a must-win for the Nuggets. What are the keys to a victory?

32:05 - It's finally time to crown a champion in our 2026 Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament. Who will cut down the nets once and for all? And as is tradition, we need to look back on all 64 drops who competed for eternal glory in our One Shining Moment. Thanks for another successful tournament, everyone.

0:00 - To be the man, you gotta beat the man. Wemby can't beat the man. We've known it all season long, but Saturday's performance solidified it for us. Jokic is the NBA MVP. It's not Luka. It's not Wemby. It's not Floppy Foul-Bait McGee. It's Nikola Jokic. But, realistically, do we care? Is it worth investing any energy in the MVP conversation?

15:21 - He teased it! He told you it was coming up after the break! Everybody strap in! It's time for Moser's Masters Update.
After that, the Avs have all but won the Central. Their victory over Dallas on Saturday was the final piece of the puzzle (technically, they haven't locked it up but come on...they locked it up). Assuming the Avs are the 1 seed, who would their first round opponent be? What are some possible scenarios?

32:04 - Oh, by the way...the Final Four TV broadcast was a carvinal. Why did we have Will Forte doing a goofy bit and the Chainsmokers performing during the friggin Final Four? Oh, by the way...a baby was born this weekend during an Oilers game. At the arena. Yes, a woman actually brought a child into this world inside the Edmonton Oilers arena. Oh, by the way...Bucci argued that Zach Werenski should win the Norris Trophy...because of how he played in the Olympics??
