The Appetizer Hour with Brett Kane

0:00 - Last night, the Avalanche lost to arguably the worst team in the NHL. Yikes. What went wrong in Philly?

14:48 - It's Tuesday at 6:20am, so it's time for another weekly edition of CFB STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN!

31:33 - Brett had a realization last night while watching Monday Night Football. The 49ers formula for success is the one the Broncos COULD be using.

0:00 - How awesome was that NFL & NCAA football weekend? Upsets GALORE! And the best part? The Broncos weren't a part of it. We got to gorge on football all day yesterday without sweating an ugly atrocious Broncos win.

14:13 - In the Sean Payton/Bo Nix Era, the Broncos have done ONE thing more often than not: execute late in games when it matters. And that makes all the difference.

31:21 - Aqib Talib responded to Ryan Fitzpatrick over the weekend. Aqib wasn't too pleased with Fitzmagic's comments about Bo Nix and how his play is "almost disrespectful" to the QB position. Disagreeing with Fitz is fine. But Talib's counterargument was rooted in something that bugs Kaners. It's a mistake that media people make WAY too often.

0:00 - The Broncos beat the Seahawks! The defending champs! On Thursday Night Football! Their record is 4-2 now! We're all ecstatic this morning, right? Not so fast, my friend. Even after the win, Brett is in a horrible mood and with good reason.

14:45 - Bo Nix is the starting QB of a 4-2 football team that began their season with a friggin GAUNTLET of tough opponents. And yet, Ryan Fitzpatrick RIPPED Bo Nix on the Amazon Prime postgame show. And the worst part is...he didn't really say anything wrong.

31:35 - Can you bench Bo Nix right now? Would some time on the bench help get his head right?

0:00 - The Avalanche lost to the Stars in a shootout last night. If hitting posts counted for goals, the Avs would've won by about 1,000. But more importantly...Gabe Landeskog didn't kick that puck into the net. That goal shouldn't have been taken off the board after review. The Avs got hosed. Straight up.

14:16 - Former NFL QB/current radio host Brock Huard joined the Morning Sprint yesterday and offered some insight into Bo's struggles. Bo can't get the voices out of his head. It reminds Brock of a younger version of himself.

32:06 - When the Broncos drafted Bo Nix, everyone said that Sean Payton would live and die with Bo Nix. If Bo did well, Sean would stick around. If Bo failed, Sean would be shown the door. But NOW, the narrative has shifted. People think the Broncos could move on from Bo Nix without ditching Bo. What changed?

0:00 - The Avs headed to Dallas and beat the Stars 3-2. Nathan MacKinnon fought a dude & Mackenzie Blackwood did his best impression of a brick wall in net. Colorado checked a lot of boxes last night.

14:47 - We do it every Wednesday at 6:20am! Let's get to our weekly edition of NFL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN!

31:38 - Bo Nix addressed the media yesterday and he was a lot more open and honest than he usually is. He has a new mantra heading into Thursday night's game: WHO CARES?

00:00 - What an ending to MNF last night. Brett breaks down all we saw of Josh Allen's late-game heroics.

14:16 - It's College Football Stock Up-Stock Down! Brett gives his report card on what we saw this past week at the collegiate level.

31:15 - Avs Assistant Dave Hakstol has reportedly taken a deal to become the new HC of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Brett talks what this means for the Avalanche. Plus, some talk about the goalie situation in Colorado.

0:00 - The Broncos technically beat the Chargers yesterday 23-17 at SoFi. But MAN it didn't feel like a win, did it now? Is Brett allowed to be critical of the Broncos this morning, even after a win?

14:56 - The Broncos switched playcallers on offense and things looked basically the same, if not even WORSE. The offense STILL isn't pulling their weight, and they're relying on the defense to save them time and time again. Maybe playcalling isn't the issue. Maybe it's the players. And maybe that starts with Bo Nix.

32:17 - Can you find ONE part of the Broncos offense that you like right now?

0:00 - How's that for a get-right game? The Avalanche went to Calgary on the 2nd night of a back to back and OBLITERATED the Flames 7-3! Not bad, boys.
Well...that didn't take long...After 4 games, Sean Payton took back offensive playcalling duties from Davis Webb. It became officially official yesterday.

14:33 - Davis Webb kinda got taken for a ride, didn't he? He got offers from other teams in the offseason, but stayed with the Broncos because he got playcalling duties. Now after 4 games against 4 REALLY GOOD TEAMS, he's demoted? That doesn't feel right.

31:38 - How much autonomy did Davis Webb ever have? He's still been calling Sean Payton's offense the whole time. Will anything look different AT ALL on Sunday in LA?

0:00 - Winnipeg continues to be a House of Horrors (or a House of Hoors) for the Avs. They can't win in that damn building (except for that one playoff series when Hellebuyuck was sieve. Stuart Skinner playd pretty well last night. Did the Avs get...G[redacted]? Are we allowed to use the G word?

14:36 - Rumors started swirling last night that Sean Payton is taking back playcalling duties from Davis Webb. He's seen enough after 4 weeks and it's time to make a change. Nothing's official yet, but if it's true, Brett thinks it's a little (a lot) premature.

31:56 - If the playcalling rumors are true, Brett doesn't think anything will change. The offense will look the same no matter who's the primary playcaller.

0:00 - Brett watched the Nuggets preseason game against the Jazz last night and actually...came away with a feeling of hope. A feeling of positivity! It's only preseason, granted, but the signs are there. 

14:46 - We do it every Wednesday at 6:20am! Who's trending up and who's crashing down? It's another weekly edition of NFL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN!

31:44 - Last night on DMac After Dark (or whatever his 10,000th digital show is called), Coach Sanford explained why he can sympathize with Davis Webb. Minnesota hired him to be their OC, and he was forced to call an offense that wasn't his.
