Vic Lombardi Show

0:00 - You've waited...you've asked for it...and now it's time...for the return...OF FAMILY FEUD!18:23 - Right now, we have good feeling about the Avalanche, Nuggets, and Broncos all at the same time. That's rare. When was the last time you felt good about 3 of our local teams all at the same time? Was there are time when you felt good about all 4, including the Rockies?33:15 - A new picture of Christian Braun is circulating and he looks JACKED. Dude's been hitting the weight room. What can we expect from CB this upcoming season?

0:00 - Brett says Calvin Booth isn't without criticism, BUT we're maybe hammering him a bit too hard. In fairness to Booth, he never actually got to see his vision carried out. He and Michael Malone sabotaged each other. Mutually assured destruction. 16:00 - If you looked at any ONE of the Nuggets moves from the past 48 hours, you'd say, "Wow, the team got better!" And somehow, the Nuggets made FOUR of those moves.34:13 - Let's take a live look at ESPN right now. The current topic: have the Nuggets done enough to "support Jokic."

0:00 - With all the moves the Nuggets made yesterday, is this the greatest offseason of all time? Especially when you consider the Jokic window, the lack of depth, and the cap issues. 16:16 - The Nuggets...finally have a competent backup center? Who can fill non-Jokic minutes effectively? So Jokic doesn't have to play 100 minutes every night? Really?36:38 - Meanwhile, back on the farm, the Avs haven't done much of anything in free agency. What can they do? Should we expect to see more moves anytime soon?

0:00 - NBA Free Agency is heating up! Who do the Nuggets still have a chance at grabbing? Who got snatched off the market already?14:56 - The news broke during our show that the Milwaukee Bucks waived Dame Lillard. Wow. The Dame Time Era ends with a whimper in Milwaukee.34:00 - Nico Harrison needs to stop flapping his gums ASAFP. Also, we still can't get over the Bucks straight up waiving Dame Lillard. What's next for Mulwaukee? What's next for Dame?

0:00 - Over the past year, the Avs & Nugs both made comparable trades that follow a similar philosophy.15:42 - Now that MPJ's time in Denver is done, let's ride off into the sunset together by playing Stepback J Kabloom in its entirety one final time.36:25 - Florida and Vegas are WAY over the cap right now. Could the Avs potentially pounce on a few cap casualty players from around the league?

0:00 - Yesterday, Michael Porter Jr was traded to Brooklyn AND the Nuggets brought back Bruce Brown. Happy trails, MPJ. We wish you the best. No hard feelings on our end. Good luck in the Big Apple.20:11 - With the moves that happened yesterday, do you have any more faith in the New Nuggets Two-Headed brain trust?35:48 - After offloading MPJ's salary, the Nuggets have a good chunk of cap space to play with. They hae room to make even more changes to this roster.

0:00 - Brucey B HAS to sign with Denver at this point. You can't keep posting these little teasers on social media and not end up here. Please, Brucey, don't toy with us. 16:24 - Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood are now members of the Columbus Blue Jackets, in a trade that was essentially a salary dump. What's next for the Avs? Also, let's do a deep dive into the classic beloved franchise that's universally accepted as the peak of Western Cinema: Air Bud.35:26 - With both NHL and NBA Free Agency around the corner, do we expect to see our local teams in the mix at all?

0:00 - 17:29 - 33:55 - 

0:00 - Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood were traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday. What's the next move for the Avalanche? Moving Coyle and Wood seems like the first step in a bigger plan.15:36 - Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for allegedly betting on NBA games. It seems like one of these investigations pops up ever year or so. Sports betting isn't going anywhere, so what can the league do to fix this issue?37:07 - Mitch Marner is leaving the Leafs and hitting the free agent market. Supposedly, the Golden Knights want to sign him. But if he takes his talents to Vegas, the Maple Leafs have a way to fight back. 

0:00 - Ace Bailey said he didn't want the Utah Jazz to take him, and then they drafted him. He hasn't made his way to Salt Lake City yet. Will this turn into an Eli Manning situation?14:42 - The ESPY Nominations were released and lots of Colorado/Denver athletes made the list! Who's most likely to win?32:59 - It's our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAAAAAAAKES

0:00 - The PAC-12 is adding teams and regaining some momentum. So...who's in the conference now? How many teams?14:42 - Yesterday, a headline on ESPN said "Are the Nuggets failing Jokic?" What does that mean? What is "failure" for both of our local teams?32:03 - Who's the best sports movie actor: Dennis Quaid or Kevin Costner?

0:00 - The NBA Draft is in the books, and the Nuggets didn't make any wild moves to trade into the action. But, they did sign a few players to 2 way contracts. 17:05 - The Buffalo Sabres are shopping Bowen Byram and supposedly, the Avs are in the mix. Do you want to see Bo back in Denver?29:39 - What are sports that old people (like Vic and Mose) can actually play?

0:00 - Why haven't the Broncos signed Jahdae Barron yet? Let's ask our ESPN Broncos Insider Jeff Legwold to see if he has any insight?15:10 - The Rockies made a front office change...and instituded more of the same, somehow.32:42 - Nikola Jokic is changing the way that Centers play basketball. He's revolutionized the position. The first round Centers taken in the draft yesterday have modeled their game after Joker.

0:00 - Rumor has it - Jonathan Drouin will hit the open market and take his chances elsewhere.16:13 - The Broncos haven't signed Jahdae Barron yet. Should we be concerned about this? Is it a Shemar Stewart Bengals situation?35:14 - The NHL has begun negotiations on the new CBA. One propsed change: no more player dress code.

0:00 - The NBA Draft is underway and the Nuggets weren't involved in any Round 1 trickery. Also, Malika Andrews got a little tongue tied and gave us a funny moment.16:05 - With Round 1 of the NBA draft in the books, did anyone get significantly better?34:02 - The Rockies lost in a weird, rainy, frustrating game yesterday. Shocker. Also, the NHL has started working on negotiations for the next CBA. What is the league hoping to implement?

0:00 - Genuinely...why does ANYONE care what the Morris Twins have to say about basketball ESPEICALLY when it comes to NIKOLA JOKIC? Quit putting these clown hacks on my TV screen.15:11 - Evander Kane has been traded to the Vancouver Canucks, and he announced in on social media himself! Before any beat writers got the chance to do it. Also, should the Nuggets get involved in any draft night trades? Any NBA Draft Trickery, even though they don't have a pick?32:46 - The NCAA is considering expanding March Madness to include even MORE teams. Do we like this idea? Will that help of hurt the tourney?

0:00 - If you could pick any NBA player right now to build a franchise around, who would you pick? Schoolyard pick style? Who's your first off the board?11:57 - Aaron Rodgers used to be universally beloved and revered in NFL circles. Now, he's overstayed his welcome and everyone's kinda sick of him. Has anyone else followed his same trajectory?32:13 - There Nuggets have a good relationship with Nikola Jokic. Josh Kroenke told Vic Lombardi & Katy Winge as much yesterday.

0:00 - OMG JOSH KROENKE SAID THE NUGGETS ARE TRADING WHO???? Stop it. A soundbite from yesterday is spreading through the sports wording and everyone's taking it WAY out of context.16:25 - Jon Wallace spoke about his philosophy for next Nuggets season, and it sounds similar to something David Adelman said at his intro presser.35:40 - The NFL Is investigating if owners have been colluding to not guarantee enough money in their contracts. Under this investigation, some details surfaced about the Broncos' negotiations with Russell Wilson back in 2022.

0:00 - Videos are going around of OKC fans berating Pacers fans on the way out of the arena after OKC won the title. Be proud of your victory, but you don't need to rudely shove it in everyone's faces.13:11 - Winning requires plenty of talent and skill, but it also requires a decent amount of luck. The Nuggets had it when they won, and OKC had it this year on their title run.31:00 - Watching the Panthers and Thunder get obliterated during the celebrations of their championship makes us miss the days when our local teams were hammered on parade...We want to stay on parade, man. We really do. 

0:00 - Brett learned a valuable lesson recently: everyone on the Internet is an expert in everything INCLUDING how to properly construct an NBA front office. The angry mob doesn't like the Nuggets Co-GM strategy, and they're all experts on the subject, so they're all correct. Bob Myers was the only candidate, and the Nuggets blew it. At least Brett understands it now!14:15 - Colin Cowherd has an idea to reduce all these Achilles injuries in the NBA: shorter the playoffs.33:44 - Who are the best "Dickie"s in sports history?
