Vic Lombardi Show

0:00 - Our Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold said, in all his years covering the NFL, this might be the deepest runningback draft he's ever seen. The Broncos can still find their Jo-I mean, good player easily. 20:47 - The Nuggets came out flat last night. How do you not get juiced for that game?? Minnesota embarrassed you on your home court in the playoffs last year! Nuggets were juiced for the game! These Nugs duds are becoming too frequent. 37:57 - Raj always has smelling salts on hand for some reason? That feels like an addiction. Let's give them try live in studio!

0:00 - Clearly the Timberwolves have your number. We want NO part of them in the playoffs. Who would you rather face instead of Minnesota when the playoffs hit?18:23 - Wyndham Clark sat down for an interview with Kay Adams, and turns out he's deeper in the Broncos weeds that we previously thought. 31:20 - Enough already! We're not allowed to say the J word anymore, unless it's about the best basketball player on planet earth. 

0:00 - There was no joy in Mudville or Denver. The Timberwolves clowned the Nuggets AGAIN. On their home court! What's going on with Minnesota?? Why do they have Denver's number these days??21:25 - The Broncos signed TE Evan Engram, and we LOVE how George Paton is tackling Free Agency. But even though you have your TE, Brett doesn't think Denver's draft strategy should change.36:58 - Thanks to a Virginia Tech Men's Basketball player, we have a new slogan for the Rockies. Speaking of which, let's give Kaner 2 minutes to bring some Rockies positivity.

What changes could we make to the OT format? 12:00 - Vic's gives the listeners a Nuggets Sophie's Choice...based on a movie none of us saw. 29:33 - Southwest Airlines broke all of our hearts with the announcement yesterday. That sent us down the rabbit hole of airport/airline etiquette. Also, we may as well wrap up the show talking about sports! Kaner and Vic share their final thoughts on Broncos, Avs, and Nuggets. 

0:00 - The head coach of your Colorado Avalanche joined us for the first time since the trade deadlien! How's he enjoying his shiny new roster?21:20 - Why do the T-Wolves always give the Nuggets troubles? What can Denver do tonight to get back in the win column against those pesky wolves?35:06 - What's next for the Broncos? What should their next move be?

0:00 - The Avalanche lost to the Wild in a shootout last night, but Jared Bednar wasn't hanging his head after the loss, and neither should you.21:23 - The Broncos keep putting pen to paper! None of their offseason acquisitions/extensions have been "flashy" or "sexy" so far, but they're all important pieces nonetheless.35:31 - Nuggets vs. Timberwolves will be an important test tonight. Aaron Gordon most likely won't play as he nurses his calf injury, so how will the Nuggets perform without his physicality?

0:00 - Are we flip-flopping on the Nuggets? One day we're riding high, and the next day we don't think they have what it takes. Brett thinks we're being consistent throughout the roller coaster. 15:19 - Let's get Moser's perspective on MacKinnon's historic achievement at Ball Arena last night. 35:43 - Free Agency is just starting to ramp up, and the Broncos have already bolstered their iron-clad defense.

They continue to play like the '95-'96 Bulls on the 2nd night of a back-to-back for whatever reason. 16:39 - Do free agent QB acquisitions actually change a team? Lots of QBs have been shuffled so far, and will it really make an impact?35:19 - The Avalanche are in Minnesota TAHNIGHT for a Central Division Collision. What are the keys to an Avs victory?

0:00 - What a thrilling double DUBaroo from the Avalanche and Nuggets! They both dazzled last night. Where do we even start? So much to discuss, so little time.17:37 - The Broncos made some solid FA moves yesterday and bolstered, or improved, their defense. It should give you confidence in George Paton's abilities despite one giant knock against him.37:43 - Brett has a crackpot theory about Gabe Landeskog. Maybe he's making something out of nothing? Or maybe he isn't. 

NFL Free Agency officially begins today, and Adam Schefter is busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger. Somehow, he carved out a few minutes for us to run through everything he's hearing around the campfire. 

0:00 - NFL Free Agency continues to heat up. Let's take a look at all the moves so far and how they may or may not affect the Broncos. 22:03 - Do the Nuggets have a puncher's chance of beating OKC tonight? Vic says they do for one specific reason. 34:32 - The Avalanche made a metric tonne of trades this season, but they all had a purpose. Don't trade away your assets unles there's a genuine reason.

This team is the real deal right now.36:52 - Yesterday's Nuggets loss didn't inspire much confidence, but they have to play OKC again tonight.

0:00 - We don't even recognize the Avalanche roster anymore. Who are these guys? Clearly it's working.18:15 - The Nuggets struggled to close out both their games this weekend.

0:00 - Former Avalanche defenseman/current Altitude TV broadcaster John-Michael Liles left his wine cave and joined us in studio for a full hour this morning! He kicked off the hour by making a big announcement.15:05 - The Avalanche know they're in a championship window right now. Bedsie knows it. MacKinnon knows it. GM Chris MacFarland knows it. Brock Nelson absolutely makes the team better. 34:11 - Will Mikko remain in Carolina after the trade deadline? Word on the street is Dallas wants to snag him. No matter what happens, it looks like the Avs won the trade. Necas is tearing it up in Colorado right now. 

0:00 - Late last night, the Avalanche acquired Brock Nelson in a trade with the Islanders. That's huge. This team is pushing their chips to the middle of the table because they know the time is now.14:57 - Who did the Avs give up in the Nelson trade? It doesn't matter! This is what championship teams do: they make the moves required to win NOW and don't worry about the future. 37:25 - The Nuggets have a very important stretch of games coming up. You want to win us over and prove you're a chmapionship team? Now's the time to do it.

Our Broncos/NFL Insider Jeff Legwold has the answers.18:12 - The Avs are good. The Sharks...are not. They're bad. REALLY bad. The Avalanche need to deeeeestroy them tonight. A loss is completely unacceptable.31:04 - Jeanie Buss finally commented on the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis trade, and she threw AD squarely under...the buss.

0:00 - The Nuggets won, but it was a disgusting win. Brett's angry about it because we have bigger expectations. Championship expectations.19:55 - A new docu-series about Landeskog's road to recovery will air on TNT starting this weekend.

0:00 - The Nuggets beat the Sacramento Kings last night, but they played like absolute garbage for 90% of the game. Even though they won, Brett is still angry at the team. We have championship standards. You've gotta play better to beat tougher teams.17:23 - The Broncos can (and should) get better at WR in the offseason. They should be in the sweepstakes for guys like Brandon Aiyuk,, DK Metcalf, and Davante Adams. 36:25 - Mikko Rantanen is struggling to find a role with the Hurricanes. Other teams are looking to grab him at the deadline, potentially. Did he overestimate his value when he left the Avs?

Aside from the fact that it set up Mittsy for, y'know, the game-winning goal.
