Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - It feels weird to hit the panic button after a win, but Brett's doing it. The Nuggets won last night. BUT...they needed late game theatrics to beat the Jazz by 3 points. A Jazz team that is ACTIVELY TRYING TO LOSE BALLGAMES. The Jazz are literally under investigation by the leage because of tanking. And the Nuggets almost lost to them. That's unacceptable. Brett's officially lost any belief...

0:00 - OKC really needs to pick a lane. Do you want to be the villains? Or do you want to be the scrapy underdog heroes? You can't play it both ways. You, your flopping MVP, Lu Dort, and your stupid phony coach need to decided what you want to be. 18:02 - A double diparoo necessitates a Double Keys-A-Roo! What are the keys to both an Avalanche and Nuggets victory? Somehow, that turned into Moser l...

0:00 - Cam Johnson is really going through it right now. He's struggling to make shots. He has a lingering ankle injury that's clearly bothering him. How can he fight his way through this? 15:54 - Since the Olympic Break, the Avs are 1 for 10 on the PP. For those of you keeping score at home, that's 10% efficiency. At some point, a busted PP isn't an anomaly. It's who they are.  30:14 - Oh, by the...

0:00 - It's official: the Nuggets have lost their clutch gene. They can't close out games anymore. They need to figure out what's going on, and figure it out quick. 17:24 - OKC, their stupid fanbase, and their stupider coach? All on THE LIST. They've officially passed the Lakers as Public Enemy #1. You can't play the villain role, then also cry wolf and act like some innocent scrappy underdog. Whi...

0:00 - Nuggets are in OKC to take on the Thunder tonight? What are the Keys to a Nuggets victory? After that...(former) Miami Hurricanes DE Rueben Bain Jr just got measured at the combine. He's a beast and built like a ton of bricks, but he has weirdly short arms. He's a T-Rex. Why don't we measure our own arms and see how we all stack up? 12:13 - Airport Beer Connoisseur & Former Broncos Back...

0:00 - Word on the street is...MLB Owners want to establish a Salary Cap and a Floor in the next CBA negotiation. And the cap amount they're (supposedly) going to propose would absolutely cripple the big spenders like the Dodgers. They'd have to gut half their roster tomorrow. The MLB is 110% headed for another lockout. 18:08 - The Cartoon Voice of Your Colorado Avalanche Kyle Keefe joined the sho...

0:00 - Losing to the Minnesota Wild still hurts, even in a cartoon playtime world. Did you watch the normal broadcast, or the Bernie's Mountain Showdown animated broadcast with a virtual Kyle Keefe and Mark Rycroft? Vic tuned into the cartoon broadcast for a bit. Is he now a convert? Will he now "do" cartoons? 21:08 - Remember how the NFL PA Survey/Report cards weren't supposed to be public anymor...

0:00 - Moser's all out of sorts today. Something he thought he understood...he doesn't actually understand at all. He learned a tough lesson today. (By the way, the song you can't hear under Moser's highlight reel is "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh) 14:46 - Our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold is at the NFL Combine! What did he think of Sean Payton's presser and handing off playcalling duties t...

0:00 - Sean Payton gave up playcalling to Davis Webb AND handled it well in his press conference at the Combine. That shows growth from the ol' curmudgeon. Maybe he put down his lattes in the offseason and learned a thing or two. 13:33 - Now that we've had a day to let it simmer and process...let's revisit Calvin Booth's interview about the fallout between him and Malone. Specifically, the comment...

0:00 - The Nuggets beat a top opponent from the East...without Jamal Murray...and they actually played defense...and built a lead late and held onto it...and won a home game...HUH? What is this sorcery? 16:13 - No Nathan MacKinnon, no problem. The Avalanche played their first game in a century last night, and beat the Mammoth 4-2 in Utah. How about that wild goal from Parker Kelly to get the scori...

0:00 - After trading Sam Girard, the Avs have a good $8.7 million in cap space to play around with. Knowing Chris MacFarland and how much he enjoys shuffling the deck, we don't think he's done. The NHL trade deadline is a little over a week away. Things could get interesting. 13:49 - Tonight, the Avalanche are back in action for the first time in almost a month. The Nuggets have a game tonight too...

0:00 - After a (much deserved) 3-week hiatus, Jared Bednar joined us again today! We asked him about the Sam Girard trade, the Olympic break, and the thrilling Gold Medal Match between USA and Canada that featured like half of his Avalanche roster (at least that's what it felt like).  19:57 - Broncos OC Davis Webb will now call the plays on offense. What changes can he/should he make? What do we w...

0:00 - Yesterday at the NFL Combine, Sean Payton announced that Broncos Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb will be calling plays next year. Wow...it finally happened! Good for Davis. Sean's presser felt very open and honest. A tiny bit of Snarky Sean escaped when he was asked about Bo Nix and Predisposed AnkleGate 2K26 (where were you?), but aside from that, it felt like a very natural conversation...

0:00 - Some people have said losing in the gold medal game will make Nate, Cale, and Toews even hungrier to bring Lord Stanley back to Denver. Really? Is that really the case? Do Nate & Cale want to win the Cup more now because they didn't win a gold medal? 13:10 - How do the Avs fix their Power Play? Is it a personnel issue? Or are they just too deep inside their own heads? Also, let's dig up...

0:00 - Do Canada hockey fans understand how sports hate and sports trash talk work? Because those hosers to the North have been pretty soft on social media these last few days.  14:13 - The Nuggets have a turnover issue. That much is clear. But the issue isn't how often they're turning the ball over. It's about WHEN they're turning it over. 27:39 - Oh, by the way...Lindsey Vonn came THIS close to...

0:00 - Moser decides to dig up/re-hash his long standing beef with Christian Bale. Don't shatter his dreams! After that...the Avalanche are back in action tomorrow night on the road in SLC vs the Mammoth. Which players from the Olympics will be back on the ice for Colorado? Will any guys get some rest before the final push to the playoffs? What can we expect from this back half of the season? 14:4...

0:00 - People talk about Olympic hockey "growing the game." Is that really the case? Will fans who enjoyed Olympic hockey now pick an NHL team and be fans for life? How effective is that supposed pipeline? 13:47 - The Nuggets had better figure out why they can't close out games. Their schedule only gets tougher from here on out. It won't be an easy stroll into the playoffs. Quite the opposite. Als...

0:00 - I'm sorry, Podcast listeners. These goal/Merica montages don't sound the same without Free Bird in the background. Stupid copyright rules. I guess you'll have to envision the freedom in your head for the full experience. Anyway, USA beat Canada yesterday in hockey to wrap up the Olympics on a high note. Now look...a silver medal is nothing to sneeze at! That's an amazing accomplishment. But...

0:00 - USA MEN'S HOCKEY WON AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1980! And, they defeated our neighbors to the north to secure the gold. What a moment. What a game. Of course, Jack Hughes was the hero of the game with that SNIPE past Binnington in OT. But how about Connor Hellebuyucky? The guy who was a sieve vs the Avalanche in the playoffs is now an Olympics legend.  21:22 - The Nugget...

0:00 - Let's rehash a debate from a couple years ago: is it acceptable to hork down BBQ ribs at 7:45am like one Marc Moser? Somehow, the discussion turned into a discussion about sports movies with animals? 14:30 - Norway is stacking up Winter Olympics Gold Medals faster than anyone else. They tend to do that. How does such a tiny country at the tippy top of the globe produce so many Olympic winne...

0:00 - It's time for a /ML&K tradition: Brett explains why you should be optimistic about the Rockies and their upcoming season. Except this time, he's tempering his enthusiasm. There's still a long road ahead, but it seems like the Rockies might actually maybe possibly potentially make some slight changes that set them in the right direction. 17:16 - Should we be concerned about the Nuggets r...

0:00 - The Nuggets should've beaten the Clippers last night in LA. But they played VERY sloppy down the stretch and lost the game on a missed free throw. How much should we make of this loss? Are we concerned? Or was this some rust after the All-Star break? 16:51 - ALEXA, PLAY FREE BIRD BABY! USA Women's Hockey battled back from a 2-1 deficit, forced OT, then beat Canada to win the Gold. A golden...

0:00 - Our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold joins us every Thursday! What does Leggy think about all these people including Riley Moss in their hypothetical mock trades? Leggy is a proud Illinois Illini. So what does he think about his Bears leaving for greener pastures in Indiana? 15:46 - Giannis keeps being coy about his future in Milwaukee. He's constantly talking out of both sides of his mout...

0:00 - You know how much Sean Payton loves the hypotheticals! Riley Moss' name keeps popping up in all these hypothetical trades involving the Broncos. Do we really want to get rid of him that badly? Why is everyone so eager to ship him out of town? 16:09 - As we get deeper into Olympic hockey, are you rooting for the USA Men's team or Canada? You'd root for USA for obvious reasons (shoutout 'Meri...

0:00 -  It went down to OT in each game, but USA & Canada's men's hockey squads both advanced to the semis! Olympic hockey has been nothing short of electric. Even though a bunch of Avs play for Team Canada, Brett and Vic were secretly kinda rooting for them to lose to Czechia. Why is that? 16:44 - As great as those hockey games were yesterday, it's a shame they came down to 3-on-3 OT. Keep it...
