0:00 - USA lost to Canada in the 4 Nations championship last night, but MacKinnon won tournament MVP. Last night was an emotional rollercoaster for American Avs fans. But let's look at the bigger picture. What did the tournament do for the NHL/game of hockey overall? 

16:36 - The Nuggets beat up the Charlotte Hornets last night in their first game back after the break. Jamal and Joker continued to do what they do best. MPJ didn't fill up the box score, but Brett thinks he's filling his role on the team.

33:20 - Victor Wembanyama will miss the rest of the season with a blood clot. It's a scary situation for one of the league's brightest young stars. We're crossing our fingers for Wemby. Blood clots can end careers.

0:00 - The Avalanche and Nuggets both returned to the ice/hardwood for their first practices after the breaks (well, the Avs minus guys still playing in the 4 Nations). Both Bednar and Malone gave us updates on everyone's health before the stretch run of the season.

16:26 - Excitement for the 4 Nations Face-Off is at an all-time high. Tonight's championship game will be a clash of the titans. When was the last time we were THIS excited about an international sporting event? 

32:19 - Don't wait too long to pay a good player. The Bengals are learning that lesson right now with Tee Higgins. The longer you wait, the higher the price tag gets.

0:00 - PK Subban said the success of the 4 Nations Face-Off/failure of the NBA All-Star Game comes down to one thing: culture differences. NHL players are fundamentally different from NBA players. 

20:57 - Draymond Green skewerd the new NBA All-Star Game format and, unspurprisingly, he missed the mark.

34:48 - Happy Birthday to our horse-riding MVP <3. Our beautiful baby boy is now 30 years old. IT's a reason to celebrate, but it also means the championship window is just baaaaaaarely starting to close a bit.

0:00 - USA vs Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off was everything we imagined and then some. The NHL has struck an absolute gold mine. Your move, NBA.

15:16 - Brett doesn't want to go full "old man yells at clouds," but it's time for Brett to yell at clouds. The NBA All-Star Game used to mean something. It doesn't anymore, and it's one man's fault. 


36:39 - Tim Bontemps conducted his annual mid-season NBA MVP straw poll, and unfortunately SGA is leading by a country mile. Our suspicions/worst fears have been confirmed.

0:00 - USA kicked off the 4 Nations Face-off with a BANG last night. We can't get enough Free Bird in our lives. Keep it coming! Also, Brett digs deeper into the conversation surrounding Jokic vs SGA for MVP. 

16:02 - The Broncos can emulate the formula for success that the Niners laid out in the past 3-4 years.

34:34 - On the Morning Sprint yesterday, Raj said Brett is stupid. His reasoning was solid, but do we agree?

0:00 - Jamal Murray dropped a career high 55-piece on Portland's head. This team continues to roll and Jamal finally looks like his old self.

16:29 - We're conflicted about the 4 Nations Face-Off. The players look like they LOVE representing their countries. They're playing hard. Last night's game was awesome. But also, it's scary seeing guys risking injury right before the playoff push. Maybe a milquetoast regular ol' All-Star game would be better anyway.

33:55 - Some sportsbooks have the Denver Broncos as the favorites to land Tee Higgins. Are you in on Tee? Would he suit Denver's needs?

0:00 - We're about to enter a sports drought. NBA All-Star break. NHL break/Four Nations Faceoff. 

19:36 - Stephen A Smith said that Jamal and Jokic are still the best duo in the NBA until proven otherwise. Do we agree? Did Stephen A actually get something right for once?

32:47 - Are baseball players athletes? They're highly skilled in a specialized area, but are they athletes?

0:00 - Don't look now, but the Nuggets have won 7 games in a row! They dropped 146 points on a red-hot Trailblazers team last night, and got contributions from damn near everyone on the roster. 

15:32 - We ride the emotional ups and downs like a rollercoaster. One day, the Avs and Nugs are championship contenders. The next day, they're trash. Now that we're at the All-Star break for both NHL and (almost) NBA, how do we feel about these teams?

36:10 - The Mavericks made an all-time horrible trade 10 days ago. Now, they're unsurprisingly struggling to handle the consequences of that trade. So far, it ain't going well.

0:00 - DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD. The Chiefs three-peat is OVA. That a good ol' fashioned beatdown. Good job, Philly.

13:39 - How close are the Broncos to the Chiefs? What do the Broncos need to get to that level?

32:01 - How do we feel about the Kendrick Lamar halftime show: yay or nay?

0:00 - Both the Avs and Nugs started slow, but each secured the W. A good ol' fashioned Double Dubaroo!

13:39 - The Nuggets did nothing at the trade deadline. Their roster is their roster. GM Calvin Booth spoke with the media to address his lack of moves.

31:14 - PSII is the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year! He adds yet another award to the City of Denver's illustrious trophy case.
