0:00 - Check the forecast. I think Hell might be freezing over. The Indiana Football Hoosiers are national champions. No matter how you feel about Curt Cignetti, you have to admit that he orchestrated one of the greatest turnarounds in sports history. 

15:00 - JK Dobbins has returned to practice! He's eligible to rejoin the team in the AFC Championship game. Having JK back would really take some pressure off Stiddy. But how good will he look returning to the field for the first time in months?
David Adelman is a Bills fan. Are we okay with that? Is okay for the head coach of the Denver Nuggets to vocally support a team that doesn't play in our city?

33:50 - The Broncos do one thing really well, and the Patriots do that same thing poorly. It's one aspect of the game that would give a big edge to Denver.

0:00 - Your Denver Football Broncos are headed to the AFC Championship, and they'll host the New England Patriots. But they'll be doing it without Bo Nix, after he suffered a season-ending injury late in OT. The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. How are we feeling this morning, Broncos Country?

15:18 - The losers of Buffalo, New York need to stop crying. All we've heard since Saturday night is a stream of tears thundering louder than Niagara falls. Stick a cork in it, Buffalo. YOU GET NOTHING. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR! Turn that microscope inwards and realize that you didn't lose because of the refs.

36:08 - Let's hit the phones and see how Broncos Country is feeling on this Victory Monday.

0:00 - Brett survived the Denver Plague and he's back in studio. But he brought it with him, and he infected the studio. Our control board was all out of whack this morning. We almost didn't make it. But The Appetizer stops for no one! The show must go on!

7:43 - Everyone's billing this game (pardon the pun) as Josh Allen vs the Denver Defense. But what about Bo Nix? What should be the narrative about Bo heading into this game?

18:43 - Listen up, Buffalonians(?) who are leaving us angry replies! The Broncos defense needs to eliminate Buffalo's run game and force Josh Allen to pass. That's not an insult to Josh. He's still a great QB. But he's no match for Denver's elite pass rush. It's more about the strength of Denver's D and less about Josh Allen lacking abilities as a pure passer.

0:00 - Brett Kane is still fighting the Denver Plague, so DMac is back in studio for the Appetizer!
Second night of a back-to-back, no Jokic, no problem. The Nuggets beat Dallas last night in Dallas and they're now #2 in the West. This stretch of non-Jokic games has gone better than any of us could've predicted or imagined, and it's awesome.
We had some slight technical difficulties mid-segment but we persevered! Somebody pressed the wrong button.

16:00 - Buffalo, New York produces weirdos by the truckload. Weirdos galore! It's something in the air. Or maybe the water of Niagara Falls. These are the people that will invade our fine city on Saturday. Be prepared, y'all.

36:09 - Playoff football will be played in Denver for the first time in a decade. Drink it all up, people. Don't take this for granted.

0:00 - The Jokic-less Nuggets won AGAIN! This is not how we saw these games going, but in a good way! Peyton Watson is having himself a month. His play in January has been fantastic. 

14:53 - Did Luca Evans kick Sean Payton's dog or something? Sean really has a bone to pick with Luca "My Name is Luca" Evans for some reason. He got after Luca again yesterday. Also, Sean identified and debunked the myths of playoff football.

31:58 - Poor Kaner. The radio plague comes for all of us eventually. Brett's hanging on for dear life to survive the Appetizer Hour.

0:00 - The Avalance lost to the Maple Leafs in OT last night at Ball Arena. We're not used to seeing the Avs take home Ls! It's been a while. 

15:41 - The Steelers got embarrassed last night in the final NFL Wild Card playoff game. Houston didn't look much better, but their offense made the plays they needed to. Let's ask the question that Pittsburgh will be asking all summer long: is it time to move on from Mike Tomlin?

32:03 - Another Gucci bag bites the dust. Jordan Seaton is hitting the transfer portal, and will depart from CU. The Buffs didn't have many good players last year, and one of the few ones they had is gone. Deion, CU, and the new Athletic Director need to take a good long look in the mirror and decide what they want to be.

0:00 - It's official! Next Saturday, the Broncos will host the Bills in the Divisional Round. It's a rematch of last year's Broncos playoff game. How do we feel about the Bills this time around?

14:38 - The Jokic-less Nuggets beat the Milwaukee Bucks last night! Somehow, this scrappy squad keeps finding a way. 
Also, the Avalanche are still ROLLIN! Trent Miner's first NHL win was a shutout of the Columbus Blues. Way to go, Trent!

35:58 - Wild Card weekend did not disappoint! It rarely does. I hope you spent the whole weekend on your tuchus watching football.

0:00 - Avs needed a get right game and they got one. Boy, did they EVER! An 8-2 beatdown of Ottawa that included 2 separate heavyweight fights. Good work, boys. 

14:49 - Miami beat Ole Miss last night which means...an SEC team will not with the college football championship this year. It's official: ENOUGH with the SEC bias. "It just means more," huh? Well it didn't seem to matter much this year. 

33:48 - Let's preview all the matchups from a stacked NFL Wild Card weekend that kicks off tomorrow.

0:00 - Down, but never out. The depleted Nuggets wrapped up their East Coast road trip by beating the Celtics in Boston! How da ya like them apples?? Looking back on the last few games, what have we learned about this Nuggets team, and more specifically, the bench?

15:50 - It's a classic football cliche: defense wins championships. But there's truth to it. Almost all of the NFL playoff teams have top ranked defenses. Which leads to Brett's main question: how much do you trust this Broncos defense? If you trust them a lot, you should have confidence in this team's ability to make a deep run. 

32:30 - The CFP rolls on tonight! It's Ole Miss taking on Miami. Who are you rooting for? Do you have a vested interest in either team?

0:00 - Man, we're not used to this feeling. The Avalanche lost their second straight game in regulation! They've doubled their regulation loss total from last year in the first 6 days of January. Even still, it's not time to panic YET. The Avs are still in a fantastic situation.

14:29 - Do you have any specific concerns about the Broncos heading into the playoffs?

33:15 - The NCAA transfer portal is wide open, and there's more and more insanity with each passing day. It's like the Wild West out there. The latest example: Washington Huskies QB Demond Williams entered the portal 4 days after signing a new deal to return to Washington for another season.
