The Appetizer Hour with Brett Kane

0:00 - Sean Payton addressed the media yesterday and clarified the now-infamous Dart/Russ comment. He also qiubbled with reporters about Denver's 5-2 record, and all the screen plays. Sean loves a good quibble! 16:31 - Nuggets need to win NOW. Their roster is so stacked right now, maybe even more than the 2023 championship roster. The window is wide open, but it'll close rapidly. 33:31 - News brok...

0:00 - Gabe Landeskog scored an awesome goal yesterday...and it was taken off the board by a bogus offsides call. My time machine worked! It's 2019 again! That wasn't the sole reason the Avs lost to Utah, but it's one of those huge momentum swings that changes the trajectory of a game. 14:00 - After the Broncos vs Giants game, Sean Payton took a vague shot at Russ Wilson. Or did he? Did Russ catch...

0:00 - Dre Greenlaw finally returned to the field...then got suspended. That was quick. He was suspended for saying some no-no words to a ref after the Broncos win on Sunday. Let's go back and watch the tape and see how it all went down... 15:51 - We do it every Tuesday at 6:20am! Who's trending in the right direction? Who isn't? It's time for another weekly edition of COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP -...

0:00 - What a crazy, improbable, impossible win for the Broncos yesterday! That game is basically a Choose Your Own Adventure book. What Broncos point do you want to prove? It was a good game because of the 33-point 4th quarter comeback? They showed resiliency? Or was it a bad game because of how awful the team looked for 3 quarters? Any point you want to make, you can use yesterday's game to make...

0:00 - The Avalanche beat the Blue Jackets last night to continue their hot start! They're now 4-0-1! Not too shabby. Brett's getting a feeling about the Avs he hasn't had in a while... 14:55 - It appears Joe Flacco discovered the Fountain of Youth, and balled OUT last night against the Steelers on TNF. Heck, so did Aaron Rodgers! Turns out, Flacco figured out how to win ballgames for the Bengals:...

0:00 - Dre Greenlaw has officially been activated from IR! He can return when he's ready. But...when will he actually BE ready? Don't ask Sean Payton about it.  14:57 - When people criticize the Broncos offense this year, they always say Payton's playcalling is a problem. Brett asks the question...is it really? Be specific: what aspect of his playcalling is an issue? 33:52 - Brett's not a conspira...

0:00 - We have no idea what to make of this Broncos vs Giants game coming up on Sunday. The Giants look rejuvinated with Jaxson Dart under center. The Broncos have to readjust from the London trip without a bye week. But, Dart is still a rookie. And this Broncos defense is great at making rookie QBs suffer. 14:12 - We do it every Wednesday at 6:20am! Time for another edition of NFL STOCK UP - STOC...

0:00 - The Avs beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 yesterday in an afternoon delight affair. Marty Nachos had himself another fantastic performance. Looking back on the Rantanen for Necas trade, do we feel good about it overall? Has Necas matched/surpassed the level at Mikko was playing at, even though it's a small sample size so far? 14:36 - It's Tuesday at 6:20am, which means it's time for another editi...

0:00 - A win is a win is a win, but man...The Broncos looked UGLY yesterday in London. They almost lost to a New York Jets team that had -10 passing yards. NEGATIVE. NET. PASSING. YARDS. And yet, the Jets could've won it with a walkoff FG. This is the angriest we've been about a win in a long time.  15:52 - The Broncos are way too undisciplined right now. Pre-snap penalties, special teams gaffes,...

0:00 - Another Avs game, another Avs victory. 2-0 baby! How lucky are we to have Scott Wedgewood in net? He's technically the backup goalie and yet he's good enough to be starter! What a luxury. 15:52 - The Eagles looked pretty awful against the Giants on Thursday Night Football yesterday. Does that diminish Denver's win over Philly last weekend? What's happening to the defending champs right now?...

0:00 - The Broncos HAVE to take care of the Jets. International games are always whacky. We've already seen 17 games this season with a go-ahead score in the final minute of regulation. Through 5 weeks of football! Sunday's game could get screwy, no matter how bad the Jets are. Finish them. Prove to us the Broncos are who we think/hope they are. 14:51 - It's the Avs home opener tonight! They're ba...

0:00 - How bout them Avs?? What a way to start the season! That was a dominant, commanding win over the Kings in LA. This Avs squad is back and (seemingly) better than ever.  15:31 - It's Wednesday at 6:20am, which means it's time for another weekly edition of NFL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 33:11 - The Avalanche look refreshed and rested and ready to roll. They have depth on depth on depth. After that...

0:00 - After Monday Night Football, one thing is clear to us: the AFC is all shuffled up. The Chiefs are 2-3. The Jags are 4-1! Captain dUuUuVaAaAalllll has his boys ROLLIN! The landscape looks a lot different this year. 14:55 - It's a Tuesday at 6:20, so it's time for another edition of COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 31:08 - Avalanche hockey is BACK TONIGHT BABY! You made it. It's here....

0:00 - Do you like apples? Well how do ya like THEM apples? Broncos went into Philly and beat the Eagles in their own barn! It wasn't perfect from the Broncos at all, but they got it done when they had to. What a gutsy SIGNATURE win. 16:29 - Yesterday was truly a tale of two halves for the Bo Nix and the Broncos offense. In the first half, he couldn't make the throws he needed to. Second half, the...

0:00 - Last night, the injured, depleted JV Niners beat the Rams on the road in OT! Another Thursday Night Thriller. It got Brett thinking...has there been a Broncos "signature win" in the Sean Payton era? If they beat the Eagles on Sunday, that's will be a bonafide signature win. 14:42 - RGIII said it best: "Stats are like a bikini. They show you a lot, but they don't show you everything." Brett...

0:00 - How good is Jalen Hurts? Is he a world-beater, bonafide game-changing QB? The so-called "rising tide" that lifts all boats? Or is he just good enough to work with the pieces around him? Not that there's anything wrong with that! 14:13 - Once again, we're on a weird schedule because of Monday Night Football, so a day late (but not a dollar short) let's get to NFL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 31:15...

0:00 - It doesn't feel like a Broncos win over the Eagles is impossible. Improbable...definitely. Impossible? Not so fast, my friend. How does Brett think the Broncos could pull off the upset? What's the formula? 14:36 - Normally we do these on Tuesdays, but Monday Night Football shifted the whole week. So a day late (but not a dollar short if you ask me), let's get to COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP -...

0:00 -  14:45 -  32:09 - 

0:00 - CU had a chance to rally and beat BYU at Folsom...and managed to fall flat on their faces down the stretch again. The Rams got smacked around again. They were never in that game to begin with. Our local college football teams need to get their act together. 14:14 - The Broncos are battling the Bengals tonight on Monday Night Football. Is winning enough? Or does it matter HOW you win? Do the...

0:00 - The Seahawks sneaked out? Snuck out? Squeaked out? A win on Thursday Night Football win over the Cardinals last night. They have Sam Darnold at QB. Is he a game-changing gunslinger? No, not at all. But the Seahawks have perfectly built an offense around him that sets him up for success. Can the Broncos and Sean Payton take some notes? 12:26 - Man, Russell Wilson keeps catching ALL the stray...

0:00 - What do you need to see from the Broncos when they play Cincy on Monday? Of course we want to see a win...how dominant does that win need to be? 14:47 - Jeff Legwold said the identity of the Broncos offense is punting. Nailed it. What can the identity be? More importantly, what SHOULD the identity be? 33:34 - Who needs a win more this weekend: Coach Prime or Jay Norvell?

0:00 - Between the NFC and the AFC, which conference is shaping up to be the tougher one? It's only 3 games, but one's already out to an early lead.  14:43 - It's a Wednesday at 6:20am, so let's get right to it! It's time for NFL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN! 32:03 - How do you properly set expectations for a team? A coach? A player? Sometimes, early success can cloud your judgment and the yardstick you...

0:00 - Last night, the Lions provided a blueprint for success that the Broncos need to follow. But it seems like they're unwilling or unable to do so. 14:46 - It's Tuesday at 6:20am. You know what that means. Let's get right to COLLEGE FOOTBALL STOCK UP - STOCK DOWN BABY! 34:32 - Sean Payton had his weekly Zoom presser yesterday and was asked my reporters MULTIPLE TIMES about Bo Nix's long ball mi...

0:00 - The Broncos defense did their job and the offense let them down. They couldn't make big plays late in the game to seal the win. The offense, once again, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Wow, my time machine worked! It's 2019 again! 15:05 - Brett has one stat that encapsulates Denver's lackluster performance yesterday. It's all downhill from there. 31:23 - Let's do something we have...

0:00 - It's only Week 3 of the NFL season...but Brett already believe that Broncos @ Chargers on Sunday is a must-win game.  14:33 - Between the Broncos, Buffs, and Rams, who's most likely to cover the spread this weekend? After that, Chad Brown joins us from a train to the airport (he's a mover and a shaker, folks) to preview CU vs Wyoming on Saturday! 32:44 - Troy Franklin looks like he's ready...
