Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - Luka Doncic left the game with a hamstring injury yesterday. Holy cow. The Western Conference playoff race just blew WIDE open.  15:09 - How conservative do you want the Avalanche and Nuggets to be heading into the playoffs? Do they still need to go full throttle? Or can they slow down a bit since they've both clinched spots already? 33:03 - Happy Rockies Home Opening Day! Baseball is back...

0:00 - In previous years, Jokic has always been the best player on the court for the Nuggets. Number 1 with a bullet. Undisputed. This year, that hasn't always been the case. And that's a good thing!  15:22 - We get it. It's a long season. The Avs looked disinterested last night. They couldn't get excited about playing the worst team in the league. But the job's not finished. They're not locked in...

0:00 - Not only did the Rockies beat the Blue Jays last night, they won the series! 2 out of 3 games! Against the defending AL Champions! A team that came within spitting distance of winning the World Series! How da ya like them apples? After that, the NFL released new data that might explain an uptick in concussions last year. And it makes no sense. Feels like a total red herring. 15:39 - There a...

0:00 - Well that was an odd Avs game. They blew it early, battled all the way back, then blew it again. At home. Against the worst team in the NHL. Are there any actual takeaways from that game? Did we learn anything? 15:22 - The Nuggets finally did what they were supposed to do. They beat a bad team! Sure they had a bad stretch where Utah kept it close. But at no point did Brett think they were i...

0:00 - Cale Makar's injury isn't too bad. He'll rest for the remainder of the regular season then return for playoffs. He's probably play through this injury if we were in the playoffs right now. It's WILD the amount of injuries that NHL guys play through when Lord Stanley is on the line. After that, the NFL approved some rule changes for the upcoming season. A bunch of them have to do with kickof...

0:00 - How's Cale Makar doing? How severe is his injury? Let's get an answer directly from Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar. 19:50 - As we learned at the end of last segment, Brett Kane can't read. So he starts hookin with all of us and trying to take us down with him. After that, the Nuggets are playing the Jazz tonight. You need to KILL them. This game had better not come down to the wire. It's...

0:00 - Team Italy lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in soccer yesterday, meaning they will miss the World Cup again. Vic's life is officially over. Throw in the towel. Stop making pizza. No more Armani. No Ferrari. Italy has to focus only on soccer until they get this fixed. 14:28 - Sean Payton spoke to the media at the NFL Owners Meetings yesterday. He's not a fan of the terminology "Free Agency Fre...

0:00 - Brett Kane tweeted about Dan Hurley getting up in that ref's face and said it should've been a technical. It's ridiculous it wasn't called, and he doesn't understand people defending Hurley. Well, the UConn Storm Troopers found the tweet and they're really giving Brett the digital business. Oof. 12:59 - Italy is playing Bosnia and Herzegovina is soccer today. Whoever wins qualifies for the...

0:00 - The Avalanche doused the Calgary Flames 9-2 last night at Ball Arena and scored multiple power play goals! Plural! It was almost a perfect night, except for one thing. Cale Makar left the game and didn't return because of an "upper body injury." We haven't received any updates yet. How concerned are we? How concerned did Coach Bednar sound in his postgame presser yesterday? 13:52 - The Lion...

0:00 - Man, the Avs took care of business yesterday! They SMASHED Calgary 9-2 at Ball Arena. That's what good teams are supposed to do to bad teams (take note, Nuggets). The only bummer was Cale Makar leaving the game with an "upper body injury." Hopefully it's precautionary and nothing more. 15:41 - George Paton and Greg Penner both addressed the media at the NFL Owners Meetings yesterday. They w...

0:00 - The Nuggets are in the thick of a 6-game win streak. They've been playing some bad and/or injured teams, but 6 wins in a row is still 6 wins in a row. How good are the Nuggets right now? Are they a championship team finally? 14:50 - After UConn's thrilling buzzer-beater victory over Duke, Dan Hurley got up in a ref's face. He didn't yell or scream or anything. But he shot the ref a [blank]e...

0:00 - Baseball is back! Hope springs eternal! Unless you're a Rockies fan. They started this new season 0-3. Got swept by the Marlins. They lost every game by 1 run. Are there any silver linings? Have we seen ANY signs of progress whatsoever? 15:07 - The Nuggets are on a 6-game win streak, and that's nothing to sneeze at in the NBA. But, it doesn't change the fact that defense is still a problem...

0:00 - The Nuggets beat the Jazz on Friday, then followed it up with a thrilling win over the Warriors last night. They're now on a 6-game win streak. And yet, Brett still doesn't feel fully comfortable with this team. Is he being unfair? Is he using the wrong tone? 15:18 - Duke lost to UConn on a last-second heave. A heartbreaker backbreaker. Both? Both. The Madness of March never disappoints. Un...

Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues today with the Round of 32! But, we're doing things a little differently. All the drops have been sorted into groups of 4. Only one drop will emerge from each group. It's a group stage knockout round. So for those keeping score at home, we're skipping the Sweet 16 and heading straight to the Elite 8, baby. Yesterday, we worked our way through...

0:00 - We're not there yet...but if the Avs win a few more games, they'll have the top spot in the Central locked up. At that point, rest your big guns. Play with weird line combos. Experiment. That's the luxury you've earned. 14:26 - The Nuggets are at home facing the tanking Utah Jazz. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory? The Rockies are in Miami today as another season begins. Hope springs e...

0:00 - The Dallas Stars are falling at the worst possible time, while the Avs keep winning. Remember when it seemed like Dallas would never lose again? And now they're coming back down to earth. The Avs are so close to locking up the Central for good. 14:08 - There are no more excuses for the Nuggets! The roster is healthy. You're well-rested. You're at home playing a team that's actively tanking....

0:00 - The drought is OVA. The Avalanche finally scored a regular season goal in Winnipeg AND won a game! How da ya like them apples? So the Avs won in regulation and the Dallas Stars lost again. The Central Division is all but clinched for Colorado. Oh, and one more thing...when are people going to learn that fighting Josh Manson is NEVER a good idea!? But more importantly IT'S TIME FOR THE ROUND...

Our Moser, Lombardi and Kane Drop Tournament continues today with the Round of 32! But, we're doing things a little differently. All the drops have been sorted into groups of 4. Only one drop will emerge from each group. It's a group stage knockout round. So for those keeping score at home, we're skipping the Sweet 16 and heading straight to the Elite 8, baby. Today, we worked our way through both...

0:00 - The NFL Draft is a month away...can you feel it? How much progress has Jeff Legwold made on his Draft Bible? His Top 100 players list? Also, what does Leggy think about the NFL competition committee's proposed rule changes? 21:22 - Wemby think he should win MVP this year and he's openly stating his case! How do we feel about players who campaign for themselves to win MVP? Players like that...

0:00 - What was the more impressive accomplishment last night: Jamal Murray's 53-point performance, or Jokic's (almost) 20-20-20 night? 14:46 - A college basketball coach got fired a few years ago because he severely violated NCAA recruiting rules. His old school is hiring him back because everything he did back then that was illegal...is now legal in the NIL era.  32:18 - Oh, by the way...a pizze...

0:00 - No sleep, no problem. Jamal Murray dropped 53 points on Dallas' head and Nikola Jokic was ONE assist away from a 20-20-20 game. Absurd. And it didn't go to waste! The Nuggets won! Man, it was fun to see the Jokic/Murray duo do what they do best. And on top of that, Jamal Murray plays the DEFINITION of "Ethical Basketball." Always has. Unlike a certain Canadian MVP favorite who shall remain...

0:00 - The Avs are getting guys back, and they're finally returning to their usual-ish lineups. They're still missing Kiviranta, but the line combos are starting to look more "normal" again. You love to see it. 15:47 - Ain't no rest for the wicked! The no-sleep Nuggets are back in action again tonight. What are the keys to a Nuggets victory over the Mavericks? 33:45 - Vic answers some texter quest...

0:00 - Also, let's dust off an old conversation we haven't had in awhile...Jokic isn't going to win MVP. It'll go to SGA, Luka, or Wemby before it goes to him. Which is crazy because Jokic is putting up MONSTER numbers this season, and yet his name isn't even mentioned in the MVP conversation. Not one peep. We've become so accustomed to his greatness. 14:07 - Coors Field recently released a list o...

0:00 - Did you stay up for that game? Hope you did, 'cause it was a nailbiter. The Nuggets snuck past the Suns in the desert and secured a much-needed win (do I need to say that after every win? I feel like it goes without saying that every win for the Nuggets is much-needed at this point in the season). But, the Nuggets had to fly home after the game, got to their beds around 4am or 5am, and they...

0:00 - Denver Nuggets Head Coach Adelman spoke with PHD yesterday. He explained why he's been using a small-ball lineup recently, and why his team's defense looked better over the weekend. 13:51 - Marvin Mims told Vic he was "surprised" by the Broncos acquiring Jaylen Waddle. If we're reading between the lines here, he was surprised because Waddle is a carbon copy of him. Similar builds, similar h...
